Keeping the Windmill Alive - Where was your last trip with your GPS?

no where this weekend.... kinda nice...

Great trip! Door to Door with my Garman.Although I am familiar with the directions it really helps navigate metropolitan areas.

I am planning to visit Quebec from Toronto during March break. My Nuvi will be very useful to find locations because
I don't know French.

It is great when you can just lay back and relax. Not drive anywhere

Returned from BWI earlier this week heading north. The TTN notification on the Nuvi was semi-useful, but woefully underestimated the delay time and missed several very slow areas on the trip. I would be curious about the experience of anyone who has compared the TTN notifications directly against the traffic layer shown on google maps.

Just used it to navigate around DC. Did a little exploring on streets we don't normally travel.

Just returned from a long weekend in Corpus. As usual, my Garmin did a great job of finding what I was looking for.
How did I ever travel without it before? LOL

Kingston, Ontario to Montreal, QC yesterday.

Nothing major except the speed camera warning came on while I was almost falling asleep! I can do with Sleep alert on GPS!

With a side trip through downtown San Francisco. Continue to be happy with my nuvi 760.

Just local driving in pittsburgh, trying to find new ways!

heading to cancun... spring break!!!hastala

went around Boston this time....fun!

Used it to get to the Woodworking show in T.O.

to Calvert Cliffs, MD.

I will be using my 1690 to relocate back to OH on Sunday. This will be its first long range trip - I have all my POIs and favorites loaded and ready to go - very excited. The bummer is that I will only be able to see my family every two weeks.

Drove up and back the same day from DC. I'm becoming less and less impressed with the Traffic alerts. Not too accurate.

and we're using the heck out of the GPS to get around the sights near Vegas!

Went to Toronto last week - none of the red light camera alerts worked on my Garmin

someplace called Niantic...

Using the GPS and a rough handdrawn map of a ski hill, I managed to find a small parking lot where I can park and easy walk to a lift! The parking lot is on the other side of the hill about 10km off the main parking lot where it is always crowded. It is also closer from my direction. Nice! A precious bookmark

Out of the country this week. Just writing to stay alive.

Have two more travels to/from Baltimore/Howard County upcoming this weekend. Wish the trips could be combined, but simply not feasible. Should get some more data regarding reliability of the 760 and the TTN traffic. Hopefully uneventful both trips!

but not the usual Highways, I took mostly local road =D

Plan to use it to go to Polk,Ohio.

Planning a trip in June from Grafton, On. to Winnipeg, Mb via Chicago for a Royal Canadian Legion Convention

recent trip from northern Indiana to Cleveland Clinic - love my 265wt, find we can't live without it anymore

Used my GPS to get my new used car.

Spending a few weeks in the Sunshine State. Nuvi a big help on the way here.

The 1690 performed great. The map automatically switches to the traffic map when driving through an alert area. The Edge server reported that is was busy when I got to Louisville and into Ohio. I did not have traffic info. The junction view worked great, as I had junction views on 75 through Cincinnati. I really like this unit.

No major problems this weekend. I did have a bit of a challenge locating PF Changs in Columbia, MD. Turns out it was on the opposite side of the shopping center from where the Nuvi directed me. (It was also too crowded, so off to Pei Wei we went!)

Nice motorcycle riding weekend out here in California! Used my GPS to find a State Park with the longest covered bridge still in existence (at least that is what they claim, 233 feet)---On the Yuba River near Bridgeport! Wonderful day trip on the bike (even though we got a few sprinkles coming home!

Let the wife borrow my car, she loved having a GPS and now wants one too! Mother's Day gift coming up!

But one in particular in Bath, NH, originally built in 1832 Spans 374 ft 6 in.

I used my nuvi 765 for my trip to Niagara falls last week. It was very handy to restaurants.

I took off into the country last Saturday and drove down roads I had never been on before. After I got myself thoroughly lost, I let my Garmin get me back home. I like to do that occasionally. I'm weird that way.

it didnt work...

. . . an Indian restaurant, Indique Heights, in NW DC. The route we took was great, straight up embassy row. I never knew there were so many countries I'd never heard of. This spring we plan to go back and take a walking tour of the area.

Was in Edmonton AB on the weekend and my Kna-g510 with maps 2010.40 was directing me over the upper cross road overpasses instead of telling me to go straight. My destination was many of those intersections ahead but was told by GPS to get in right lane to exit,and then go up and over the crossroads and reenter the road I had just exited from?? I find this very odd as these crossing roads are many years old.Anyone tell me why this is happening would be great!

Using my trusty nuvi 760. Even helped find a great lunch place in Sutter Creek.

Today it was a beautiful spring day, and the wife was also off of work so we decided to go on a motorcycle ride to our favorite Nursery in Wilton, CA (outside of Sacramento)--since I live in the foothills, it is about a 50 mile ride from home.

On the way back, as luck would have it, we got a flat tire in El Dorado Hills. I was able to give the tow company our GPS coordinates and have our daughter come down and pick us up at the motorcycle dealer (looked up on the Honda Dealership POI I have).

Afterwards, we decided on a nice dinner--I have seen one place in Placerville that always shows up on various POI's --- like "Ride to Eat", "Favorite Family Restaurants" and a few others. The place is called Tortilla Flat, a wonderful Mexican restaurant. It was a really good dinner, well worth a short drive to Placerville!!!! At least the day ended well ---sigh

North Myrtle Beach. There was a missing exit 14 on the way down and only an exit 13. Wasted 30 mins on the one exit.

California I-5. Address to Address and back.

I'm about to embark on about a 12K ride on the bike.

42 days til departure. My first with a GPS in my pocket.

Ahhh, I knew there had to be one bigger. Maybe in a year when I retire, I'll meet the wife at the end of the driveway on the motorcycle and say "There is a bridge in New Hampshire I need to go see, be back in 2 months honey!"

This waterfall only flows during runoff from the snow melt in the White Mountains of Arizona, on the Little Colorado River. The falls are on the Navajo reservation, not too far from Flagstaff. There are no signs, and miles of dirt roads to get there, but it can be done in any street vehicle, including Harleys.

We tried to go last spring, but were deterred by a major dust storm. We had much better success this year. It's well worth the effort.

Nuvi 350

Newbie checking in. Used on trip to Colorado.

Welcome to both rehallaz and nmopf38. Enjoy the time you devote to the site.

This was the first instance I've run into with incorrect location information. On the way to the Baltimore Hamfest early this morning (*very early!*), we needed to stop by the Crowne Plaza Hotel to pick up tickets/passes. The hotel was clearly visible from I-83, but when we exited off the interstate, the Nuvi directed us the wrong way - clearly away from the hotel. Ground truth took precedence and we went right to the hotel. Not a common experience, but it certainly raises my awareness of the potential for errors.

From Boston to Montreal Canada. =) I got lucky and the weather was very nice. The snow was all but melted and the temperature was around 60s.

This was a complex one. Drove to Norfolk, VA. Flew to Jacksonville, FLA. Took the US Destroyer Gonzalez (DDG66) back to Norfolk for a 3 day "tiger" cruise to Norfolk. Drove home to Maryland.

My Garmin 350 still shows it knows it's stuff, improved ever so much by POI Factory POI's. Even tracked the water part of the journey as we plied our way north thru the Gulf Stream about 100 miles off the coast.
