Keeping the Windmill Alive - Your last trip? – June 2013

I posted an update to Waze on Sunday -- from Rome (Italy) near Vatican City, where the streets were clogged with Harleys! Part of HD's 110th anniversary celebration. Thousands of Harleys parked in the square leading up to St. Peter's.

in Alaska. Used Nuvi for trip to Talkeetna and back. Great fro arrival times!

keep on turnin'

Quick trip across Skyline Drive.

Pittsburgh PA to a graduation.

Just found out early this AM that I have a four day weekend this weekend!! Short notice, but I WILL be on the road!

nothing

Going to Wisconsin today. Maybe get some cheese.

Bring me back some cheddar or pepperjack.

Last trip was to upstate N.Y. with the truck camper. The cig lighter end on my 795T broke off while plugged in, and blew the fuse. A spare fuse and CoPilot app on my tablet got me by, and I'm not sure if I'll even try to fix the Nuvi. The tablet sits nicely on the dash cupholders and is big enough for my fat fingers and old eyes. What's not to like??

In Hawaii my lady on the car dash was very reliable. In Bay Area of CA small problem, I forgot to change 'avoid tolls'. She's always with me now.

Last business trip to Southern California, I had extensive use of my GPSr as I drove from Ventura to San Diego (and various points in between).

just work this week

Another week of work, home, shopping - nothing out of the routine.

took my daughter to the phoenix comic con. used 89a, nice drive

Used it for red light cameras only.

But caught a red light camera along the way to Rutgers.

Our gps took us to the airport near San Francisco

I used the nuvi to get to Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte

Happy Monday

Sunday was the first time I put my Nuvi 2595 to the test for traffic info. Traffic was as heavy on the interstate as it could possibly be and still maintain the speed limit. The Nuvi said "No traffic". Ran into a backup along the way, no warning from Nuvi. Was able to exit the interstate and bypass the backup, guessing where it ended. No help from Nuvi.

store...

East Tennessee to Pittsburgh and back last week. Garmin was essential in the metro area. Would have got lost without it. It routed me home in a different route than to Pittsburgh, but the scenic drive was OK.

Saw the "Lumpy Mr. Rogers" statue. He looks demented. NOT pretty.

Children's Museum (Great if you are a child).
Zoo & Aquarium. (Shoddy, not worth going).
Carnegie Science Museum (Great no matter what age)

Did the Ducky Tours a couple of years ago (Very good), but too hot this time.

I lost mine hope I can get it back been busy

nothing

Driving between the construction site and the hotel.

My wife made this trip (600 mi) and used my 765T for her first time using a GPS (had a paper map backup).

Got her where she needed to go and to other locations once she got to Pampa. She loved it!!!.

I didn't like it as I now don't own my trusty 765T any longer.

and other areas as we explorer Alaska for the summer!

Sure , no problem. Divide 52 weeks by 12. That will give you the number of hours in the Mayan calendar.

divide that by your age minus the number of stars under your name and take the square root of PI then multiply that times the model number of your GPS and that will give you the number of times you must post something of interest to at least 76 of us in a nano-second. Easy P easy.

1 post every other week.

Perfect excuse for an upgrade!

howdy

did I mention the Black Hawks?

grocery store

Home Depot

Just getting back to Alberta from a great trip to the B.C. Kootenays. Manages two rounds of golf! Woo-hoo!!

Hearing aid adjusted. Needed new tubes.

Funny you should say that. I am looking at my new 2797 LMT, Dang it is BIG!!

So we drove around today looking at the crops. Last month we had several severe thunderstorms with lots of rain. Many fields have had the low spots flooded and now replanted. It will be interesting to re-visit near harvest time...I marked a spot on gps where corn is already 5 1/2 feet tall.

Just checking in.

Just got back from Orlando. My Nuvi performed okay, in general, but had issues when trying to go to different areas within Disney's property. For instance, going from my hotel (on property) to a theme park, the Nuvi kept trying to route me through other hotel areas. I finally gave up and started using the signs at Disney World to navigate between the different parks and other areas. Same thing happened at Universal.

Pennsylvania.

Still cruising.

Nothing major this week, but did make a trip to Home Depot - always an interesting visit.

Church and back home.

My nuvi made it hassle free. would have had some difficulty finding my destination as it was not well marked.
