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

 

In danger of losing your windmill?

Maybe you can share the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you used 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.

Last Travel

We sold our home of 30 years, but had to wait three weeks to move into the new house. Our Garmin served us well as long as we entered the correct name for our destination.
Three weeks in an 11' Lance pickup camper--two adults, a dog, a cat and a litter box.

Co worker

I had to give a lift to work to a guy I work with. Used my 2595 to find his house. I guess I've been there enough as I knew the turns without using the gps... He needs to get a new car...

Icy roads

I and my truck are surefooted. I ran errands today for older folks because the walks & some of the roads are covered with ice.

Stocking up for Christmas

Hit the warehouse store for supplies for Christmas week - nothing major, but enough to enjoy a quiet and comfortable week off. Waited until late Saturday night to venture out and there were not crowds at all - worked out well.

I find Garmin has a little trouble with multiple & rapid turns and 5 corner intersections.

But all went well in the end ....recalculations saved the day.

Local

Been making a lot of "local" trips the past few months -- out to around 450 miles or so. GPS doesn't really get much of a workout any more.

Christmas Trip

Got back from a crazy zig zag trip to OH, IN, OH, IN, OH, IN, OH then back home. Lots of family to see with multiple trips to the two mothers because of moves and Christmas with extra back tracking trips to other family members. A trip that should have been around a 1000 miles turned into about 1500. At least the trusty 2460 Veronica kept me on time. All place we knew how to get to but it is reassuring to know if we are on schedule.
