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

66 pages of dribble

You want a new thread filled with 'dribble'? That defeats the point, don't you think?

Used it to find a coonhunt.

But it sure helps when trying to find a new address

with fellow Marines at a fundraising event, and maybe 3-4 glasses of wine before and after dinner, my 765T led me smack dab into the line of a DUI checkpoint!! Well, to say the least, I was practicing my alphabet, backwards and forwards, and everything else I've seen on "COPS" just in case. As luck would have it, the line began to move to the left, around this mess, and I found freedom! I was not drunk by any means but did not want the hastle..whew!! And that is where my Nuvi took, or I should say "led" me

Charlotte NC to a wedding. Love having the junctions views pop up for nearly all the major intersections I came to. This is the first map upgrade for me to really have them in any qty.

Via CT and NY and northern NJ then back again.

Might have been a good time to have the DUI Checkpoint POI.....

Last week, I took a roadtrip from Nashville to Union City, then back via Paducah, Hopkinsville, and Bowling Green.

My last trip was to Santa Cruz, CA. What a great day!

Looking forward to the 4th. I will use the GPS to find my backyard.

Happy Precious Monday everyone..

Rain today

Praying for rain today.

I can only pray for rain at night. I recently installed solar panels, so rain during the day is a bad thing. It can rain all night, every night for all I care though.

Daughter is thinking about changing colleges. It is so easy just to put in the addy and go to check out the new schools. I guess I should keep a paper map around, but I am so spoiled with GPS that I just go. Will probably get me in trouble sometime in the future.

Will be going to Louisiana around the 20th of July to visit the casinos. Also just got back from my granddaughter's wedding in Pearland,Texas.

used the ol gps for golfing in the bezerkly hills

Heading to a friend's place up in the Gold Country (using the GPS), we came upon a section of road taken down to one lane for repaving -- expect delays of up to an hour!

Zoom out on the GPS, a quick U-turn, and bypass about a two mile long line of stopped traffic.

Combination of GPS plus on-board maps saves the day!

the suction cup keeps falling off the windshield!!

I've used a GPSr for many years, starting with a GPS-2+ and currently with a 560LMT. Very handy.

Last trip my 560 took me to Tempe, Arizona (from eastern new Mexico) and DIRECTLY to teh warehouse where I delivered 35,000+ pounds of soda pop. Next, it took me across town to a plastics company, where I loaded peanut butter jars, and then the 560 guided me back to eastern New Mexico, where I delivered said jars to a peanut butter -- uh -- manufacturer???

Anyway, the 560 is doing pretty much what I need it to, finding address and previously loaded waypoints with ease, and guiding me around bad traffic jams if necessary.

A drive to the house of my, uh, special friend.

Took a drive south of Nashville, looping south near Brentwood and Franklin before returning.

in Coventry, CT

I took my annual trip to LA to get my granddaughter and take her back to Iowa for one month. This time I wised up and programmed the Garmin to not go on the 101 through LA and waste an hour or so traveling 2 miles. At the end of this month I return to LA and return with my grandson. With Garmin I figured I saved one half hour or more going 30 miles around the city. It is nice to own a Prius and a Garmin.

to keep the windmill alive.

New computer (old one went up in smoke!) Rebuilding ...joy joy.....

Finally. The first rain of the 2011 Monsoon season. With the 117 degree temps the last couple of days the cool wind feels sooooooo gooooooooood!

Please delete this, it was duplicated.

To the beach, which is a 90 mile ride.

Then I kept the GPS with me on the beach and watched accuracy. It was holding at 7 to 9 ft, with one WAAS satellite.

Pretty exciting, huh?

Made a round trip to Baltimore; used the Android phone and Navigation. Worked great, traffic was medium, but steady - no incidents.

Ironically my gps traveled without me as it was borrowed by family.

Got to keep that windmill alive, taking a trip soon. This one will be to Myrtle Beach. Go by a lot of cameras in the Charlotte area so an up to date list is important.

dang.. wish i had a gps that could find my gps..

The wife and I went camping with my family over the weekend. Didn't use the GPS as far as how to get there, more for Biking and where we were at.

To the Grand Cayon from California

I used from work to school

Devils Tower and Mt Rushmore

What's important in the world, it's winter here, frosts have started, -4c yesterday morning with more to come, at least it's not raining, there's a big yellow satelite in the sky.

My son and I did that trip a couple years ago. The entire area. We camped the entire time. It is a wonderful area.

for a family event over 4th of July weekend. My nuvi 760 got me there with no problems at all.

Need to upgrade the Garmin after a new highway was inaugurated in MD!

Here goes some more $$$.

It's not in this release.

I use mine every day as I travel from job to job in my service van. Couldn't imagine going back to paper maps. Kind of like when I first got in the HVAC business every time I needed to order parts or get tech support I would have to hop in my van and drive to the nearest pay phone. Now it is so easy to just grab the cell phone and make those calls.

In June we drove from Winnipeg MB, to Calgary AB, to Sicamous BC, to Kelowna BC and return, about 2200 miles, without a paper map, only our Garmin 1350. Worked very well. Curiously, the 1350 took a different from/to route between Sicamous and Kelowna.

I plan auto trips with GoogleEarth and as the 1350 does not support routes (and only 1 walpoint) I create a .gpx route
with major turns or cities in distance order. This trip had only 4 entries - same highway from Winnipeg to Calgary... And from POI_Factory I downloaded Canadian rest areas. Great trip.

Did it route you down Glenmore Rd. from Winfield? Or?
