Keeping The Windmill Alive - Your Last Trip? – May 2014

 

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.

Head for the Hills

Took the new ride for a trip up the Blue Ridge Mountains and into Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

Down to LA--

A quick trip to Los Angeles to fix my dad's computer.

Nuvi to the rescue dealing with LA traffic! I was going to write "avoid" but the only way you can avoid LA traffic is to avoid LA...

And as for the computer fix -- I told my dad that computer hard disks are a lot like tires on a car -- it's not IF they will fail, it's WHEN they will fail, and how prepared you are to deal with it when it happens.

Replaced hard disk, updated various things. A good visit.

Visit to Captiva, FL

Visited Mucky Duck restaurant in Captiva from Florida's East Coast. Used Garmin 2460 LMT to re-route around infamous Rte 4.

No issues and pleasant ride. Visited many other spots in Ft. Meyers and then Clearwater. Some highways in Tampa area are under construction and GPS was very helpful.

Traffic warning, no rerouting

My Garmin (2595) warned me of heavy traffic ahead when I selected "home", but failed to reroute me to avoid the backup.
Waze, OTOH, rerouted me to go to a selected store, with no indication why it was sending me the long way around. Later I learned of a backup on the most direct route.

two settings

You also need to tell the 2595 to detour around traffic besides warn.

Work

My last trip was basically to work and back. It's a long trip, full of traffic.

None

No trips. Gas is almost 4 bucks and Gas Buddy just sent an alert the price is going higher.

Road Trip

Just got home from 1200 mile road trip. Our new Garmin 2555LMT worked out real fine. The traffic feature was pretty much on but not perfect. I would not expect it to be. Due to some really bad traffic, I had to detour through Brooklyn on roads that I had not used in years. POI Factory's red light camera files were much appreciated and spot on.

Safe Memorial Day to all.

Austrailia New Zealand

Purchased (on E-Bay) the maps for AU & NZ. Took a several week trip to both countries last fall. Their maps worked GREAT. Left hand driving and lots of round-abouts, would have been hard to navigate without the maps for "Down Under". Was able to find restaurants, and other POIs in their maps.
John. PS still have the SD card for sale.

Leaving for Spain & Portugal on June 1, 2014. I have the European map card for there. Already have many places entered. I go to Google Earth, type in the address' of what I am looking for, then enter the coordinates and Save As hotels, etc.

Back from CA...

575 miles R/T and not a hick-up from the old Nuvi. My Motorcycle Mamma made the trip on her Yamaha with no sweat smile

Windmill

We took a trip to Taylor,MI and then to Windsor,ON.to visit with relatives.

Heading for Paradise at Mt Rainier in a couple of hours. It is overcast, but not raining. Supposed to be in the 50s on the mountain. Son-in-law and grandkids have never been to Mt Rainier. It is only an hour and a half from our house.
