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.

Yellowstone etc....
Two week trip (hence, the 2 weeks of inactivity on POI Factory) from North Carolina, to Wyoming to see Yellowstone, and other sites out West. Saw Crazy Horse Monument, Mt. Rushmore, a rodeo in Cody, Wyoming, etc...
Unless you are the lead sled dog, the view never changes. I is retard... every day is Saturday! I still use the Garmin 3590 LMT even tho I upgraded to the Garmin 61 LMT. Bigger screen is not always better in my opinion.
Starting again

July is half over
Tomorrow. Half the month (and the summer) is over.
Can't believe it.
Time to start making plans for Florida for the winter.
Never heard the words "Polar Vortex" before last winter. Hope to never hear it again.
Garmin 205, 260W, 1450LMT, 2460LMT, HEREwego for iPhone ... all still mapping strong.
Driving again!
After a two-week self-imposed (kidney-stone imposed) break from driving, I'm back behind the wheel again!
Being a passenger has been nice at times, getting to look around and pay attention to things I pass by so often.
But I like driving, and being able to control what music is playing!

Last Trip: Montreal
Went to Montreal, Canada and surroundings. Garmin with a 2010 map worked great!
Garmin Nüvi 265W

Last Trip
Drove down to Southern Illinois which is easy, but there is one tricky spot where you change tollways about 3 times in quick order. The Nuvi whizzed me right through!

Forty Five Miles Offshore
I know this is primarily a vehicle based GPS board, but I used my hand held Garmin Colorado 400C loaded with the BlueChart U.S. coastal charts as a backup when our console mounted display went out on the boat while grouper fishing in the Gulf of Mexico 45 miles offshore out of Ana Maria Island in Florida last week.
That little hand held saved the day and the fishing trip as I have all the grouper/snapper holes and a previous track saved in case of sea fog out that island channel point.
This is the third time on three different offshore boats out of the past fifty trips or so that I've done where that little hand held has come through and saved the trip!
Marine mounted units go out a lot. Saltwater corrosion is so intrusive!
It really saved our butts once about four years ago on a completely different boat, inside the shipping channel in Tampa Bay when the console mounted boat unit went out and a massive sea fog bank moved in. That got hairy real quick. Couldn't see a channel marker 10 feet in front of the boat. Had to blast the horn every 20 seconds or so as we creeped back to port. Yikes, scary stuff!
We would have been SOL without that hand held unit.
On a side note, my Garmin Nuvi vehicle unit also came in most handy while trying to locate my buddy's waterfront canal home on the island in the above trip I mentioned first.
Sounds like

Yes, indeed! Garmin saved that day and quite a few others. Also saved quite a few good meals. Fresh caught grouper and snapper make pretty darn good eating.
