In danger of losing your windmill?
Maybe you can share with us the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you use it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.) Anything to keep your windmill alive.
This thread will be closed on the last day of the month and a new one will be opened.

I heard of a restaurant in Ashtabula, Ohio, that my wife and I haven't been to, so we just took a ride there to check it out. We didn't go in, just kind of drove by it for future reference.

my last trip
I started my lst trip on Dec 2nd and still going. i travelled 4710 km from eastern Canada to New Port Richey fl and will be travelling around florida for the next 4 months before starting the long trip home to my little island in the atlantic. So far my 3760 has not let me down. I feel quite confortable with my gps on the dash and will venture anywhere.
Boise, ID vicinity
I had to travel to a work site in Boise Idaho this past week. One of my managers told me not to rely on GPS to get me to the site as his guided him into a residential neighborhood miles from our work site.
I asked what GPS he was using and he replied he has a TomTom. I've always used Garmin so I thanked him for his advice and entered the address in my Garmin 1490 which took me directly to the work site with no trouble.

3 hour trip to visit with family this weekend. The GPS guided me without problems as usual on this particular trip. I could drive it with my eyes closed but I do use the GPS to keep tabs on traffic and destination time.
trip indeed....
CT to NJ via NY then back to CT from NJ via NY. Traffic reroute saved me 30 mins easy.

AC NJ
Went to AC NJ. As good as the Garmin is, I still found myself looking up POI's on my Android Tablet w/Google Maps & then entering in those locations into the Garmin to get there. I could have used Google Maps to navigate but it's hard to hold a tablet in your lap and drive.
