Just tried again

 

And after putting it all in it does not like something

This is pretty much what happened the other 2 times.

Give me email address or contact, that convoluted error report form is so complex it is trying to keep people from reporting.

new fangled

machines don't respond well at all, they literally have minds of their own.

That's why in 2023 I'm using a Dell Dimension 8200.

There's two sides to that coin. Some may say, you sad little man with your Pentium 4.

The other side is imagine what a great machine Dell made in 2001, that it still works fine 22 years later.

You need those little blue pills if it wont stay in.

Very much agree; bring life to those old machines! I have found that with many machines, and "yes" for the average user, a simple swap to an SSD brings new life to a computer. I still have a Dell D630 that dates from 2006. It is a tank, probably goes about 5# but it is now the primary PC for a 10-year old grand niece. It came with Win XP and a changed it to WIn 10 when I installed the SSD.

First of all, try as I might, I can't find a "Catamount Drive" at the latitude/longitude coordinates that you have provided. Searching the area also doesn't yield anything.

In inputting what you think is good data, instead of using Catamount Drive, tyr using Catamount Dr. Many databases defer to the USPS abbreviations, "Dr" instead of "Drive". I live on Cambridge Drive and many times when doing an online order, I'm prompted "Do you mean Cambridge Dr?"

There are all kinds of quirks with new machines, and work machines. My Dell laptop from this year and work, sometimes has the keyboard light up, and stay lit. I can't stand it--I have mechanical sympathy, I don't want the lights on for 10 hours a day while I work. But nothing I do turns it off other than to reboot.

My daily driver that I'm typing on now, is a T450s ThinkPad. Even though a Lenovo, I think it's a great machine. I noticed CHoP had them when I got it, 2015.

I do think that while technology improves, hardware declines.

My new go to example is the 2024 C63s AMG Mercedes. It's getting a 2 liter turbo and hybridized 4 cylinder engine. In 2023, it got a 4 liter hand built (maybe assembled but the mfg says built) twin turbo V8. They took out 4 cylinders with the new model?? lol

Will it be any surprise when issues arise? Newer is not always better...

Only Mapquest was showing a catamount drive, the others (Bing, Google) do not. Even a Google street view image from July of this year shows a dirt path into a field there with NO road sign indicate a road name there.

If you don't drive by this location often or even use that dirt path into the field, why does it matter if Garmin updates their map(s) data when its apparent other map sites have the same issue. Likely they are all pulling their data from the same or similar information providers.
