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.

I haven't been anywhere yet, but I couldn't resist being the first to post.

Christmas trip.
We took a trip from the Chapel Hill area of NC to St Augustine Florida for Christmas. Two things of note: Southbound we were routed through the center of Jacksonville, Northbound we were routed around the East side. There were a number of traffic holdups on I95 but we got no traffic warnings though we got extensive road construction warnings near Jacksonville.
Routing Around
I have never been able to find a mapping program or gps that will route around the west side of Jacksonville. The only way to make it rout is set via points below or above I10 or make the whole area of Jacksonville and east an Avoid.

no GPS needed this time
Taking a vacation on a small island. It's so small, using a GPS is a waste of time.
No Where
We usually drive to Chicago for our Grandson's birthday. He was here for Christmas so we did a birthday for him.

A Cabin in the Mountains
I joined some friends for New Year's Eve at a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains, near Asheville, NC. My 760 led me right to the address, with a stretch of interstate, a winding road through the mountains, and finally a dirt road up to the cabin.

Traffic accident avoidance
Finding an alternate route when I saw an accident ahead.
That'll teach me to drive on I-25 combat zone.

Tampa RV Show
I got to the Tampa RV Show easily enough, but needed the Garmin when leaving to use alternate roads to avoid the traffic jams.
.
Gosh, hardly drove at all this week!
Auto GPS
Didn't have Nuvi plugged in so I used automobile GPS to find alternative route to hospital.
