Keeping The Windmill Alive - Your Last Trip? – January 2015

Woke up this morning to 5 degrees on Long Island. That is pretty chilly for us. I know it is probably like a heat wave for some of you guys out there. Stay warm and safe.

Nowhere so far.

So many errors on the 1490lmt with the 2015.30 maps and now the current speed locks and stays at a random speed until you touch it and show the trip info, then the current speeds stays correct for and hour plus...the freezes again.

@visiter555 ... How much free space do you have on your nuvi? The 14xx nuvi's are notorious for being short on space. If that isn't the problem, you might try clearing your trip log and doing a hard reset. That often clears up problems like this.

Has anyone driven this route since the first of the year?
I'm driving from Chicago to Atlanta and just wanted to know how bad I65 and further south are. I24 then I75. I know about Nashville and Atlanta traffic but is there other stuff I should plan for? Black ice, construction?

Thanks in advance!

I show construction south of Nashville from exit 66 to 97. Your best bet is to call 511 as you enter each state for the latest information.

Trying to avoid highway snow detours..

The Garmin has been very helpful, as I have been away from the Tampa Bay area for a year, and finding many changes.

Guess I'll be headed to Roanoke tomorrow to see the grand babies. Can't miss that!

Went to the city and the roads there were ice,Then it snowed

In Marathon ... on Grassy Key. Weather's great.

Nothing special this week. Did have to deal with very slick roads during the Tuesday morning commute, thankfully not via the interstate road. At least the amount of daylight is on the rise again!

race...

Soon going back to South

Quick and easy trip on a Saturday.

A short trip. Have a good week everyone.

Went to city on Saturday for a quick trip.Was snowing and icy but no problems..

I always use it for work and this week it showed me a route to a job I hadn't considered in the past. I took it and had no problems, it worked well.

The emerald city!

Down to South Carolina, ended up at Conagree National Park.

The maps are all on a 8GB microSD card and there are zero add ons (vehicles etc) so plenty of space on the 1490 and the card is 60% empty.

Honolulu to Maunawilli Falls

Baltimore, MD to Foxboro, MA to watch some football.

headinf for FL in 20 days ( plus or minus weather)

Cabo is coming soon End of the month!

to the moon with my little windmill.

Trip to work started off icy to include the porch and sidewalk - main roads were fine once you got out though.

Chili's

Travel safe this week. And be careful with the drunken driver. Remember to use you GPS with the RLC

Nice place.

tire store in monroe michigan!

Taking the 1490, 780 and the Samsung Note 4 with ViaGo to ThunderBay ON on Thursday and we shall see which one is more accurate. LOL

Drove to Naples,Fl recently. My nuvi 1350 performed flawlessly as usual.

Casinos in Louisiana in the morning. I hope to win
enough to cover my trip.

I hope you held back gas money to get home!

Enough for gas and food.

I just picked up a Refurbished Nuvi 2455LMT for $69 from Cabelas outlet store. Looked brand new out of box. I slipped in an 8Gb micro SD card and ran updates and installed some custom POI's mostly from POI Factory.

I wanted each of my cars to have a dedicated GPS so I would not have to use my phone or swap my 2555LMT between cars.

I have not had a chance to really test it, but it seems fine. I have been using the 2555LMT and really enjoy it. This model is essentially the 4.3 inch version. This is not the most up to date unit but is fine for me and price was right.

Safe travels to all.

I made a trip from Atlanta to Dixon, IL last week and into the brutal cold. Garmin never let me down!

The only problem I have is the power cord gets frozen stiff in colder and freezing weather. not sure why that has to be.

I have been using the 2455LMT for almost 2 years and it has been a wonderful navigation machine. Never any problems!

of a location where I could sign a petition against an ill-conceived single purpose soccer stadium our great city wants to build

one bites the dust.

Greetings from Melaque, Jalisco, Mexico, where it's sunny and 86° every day.
Have to suffer this here until the middle of April!

Silver Spring, MD for lunch at Crisfield's Sea Food house. Fabulous!!!

trying to keep my windmill ..

setup

It is hard for us to stay away from home for 2 weeks, don't know if I could do it for months..BUT the 86 degrees sure makes us think about it.
Have a nice warm time... And think of all us in the cold.

Just looked at Melaque, Jalisco, Mexico on Google Map and you are a long way down there.

Depending on where you are in Texas, but from Laredo, Nuevo Laredo it takes me 1 1/2 days and one overnight stop to get to my winter paradise. About a 1,000 miles distance.
