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

Just ordered a Garmin 1390 w/lifetime maps for a friend so she could plan her trip from Mass. to South Carolina.

Just finished planning our upcoming 3750 mile trip from Flor-i-duh to NH, ME, NY, Quebec and back home. All reservations made and routing complete with the aid of MS Streets & Trips and Mapsource. Will update Custom POI's on my 1490 and 260 a few days before we leave.

Gasoline now about $.30-.35 a gallon cheaper than on the 5500 mile trip we took in May/June. Will make a difference of about $50 in gas costs. My motel chain offering all kinds of incentives for stays over the next month so making out in that respect to.

Primary reason for trip is to attend my SO's daughters wedding in Maine but the timing makes it that I can be in NH for my youngest daughters fairly major surgery and my youngest son's 40th B'day.

And away we go >>>>>>>>>> !!!!!!!!

East side of 2nd lake on the way to to Kelowna, West side of 2nd lake on the way back - much quicker. Beautiful country!

Hmm.
Going backwards.

San Diego - Del Mar
Madison Wisconsin
Iowa City
Chantilly Virginia

I'm getting ready to go to Austin, TX and then back to Madison again.

Happy Friday.

Doing a NYC to N. Myrtle Beach trip tommorow morning.

and daughter, and their two "rug rats" just returned from 2 weeks driving from Baltimore to Ga. I gave her a 350 2-3 years ago, and she said the thing is worth it's weight in gold!!! (I've still got my original, and don't want to give it up) I have kept the firmware and the POI's updated, but the street maps are 2-3 yrars old. She told me that it was still of great help...now she loves Garmin again!

a safe trip!!

I've only seen one lane preview and it disappeared by the time I noticed it. LA works good. And this was in Atlanta.

July 4th long weekend to Columbia, SC from Tallahasse and back. Guess what, there is no easy way to get there from Talli. Took me through rural Georgia but led me down a couple of closed roads that used to go somewhere. Had to use my common sense to get going again. My old C320 didn't mess up that bad. As soon as I get a new battery for it I want to try them out together.

The Nuvi's nice though. Talks to me. I use it locally to get my ETA mostly, especially to work . Although if I have to go anywhere in Talli I use it as I am not that familiar with the town.

Input of coordinates is nice, the C320 didn't do that. I moved my POIs over from the C320 with no problem. I look forward to downloading some files from the POI Factory.

Thanks for being here.

Wade in NW Florida

We're glad you are here!

Just around town....

Just got a new Nuvi 1490LMT last week. Just spent the next few days trying to remember how to load and save favorites. Replaced a Nuvi 265T.

We had a good trip to Buffalo and Dunkirk then on to grove city,Pa. The GPS worked great.

Decided to take a trip up to the Calaveras Big Trees and I guess I was lucky to have known the area. Started off and dear GPS directed me north on Cal 88 49 miles to Cal 4. Nothing is perfect I guess, Cal 4 was in fact 10 miles south. Rebooted, and Caltrans moved Cal 4 back to where it belonged.

Happy Monday

but a coast-to-coast trip is in the planning stages The Garmin will get a workout then!

Will be traveling to MI at end of month. Won't forget the Garmin. Been a lifesaver at times.

Jill directed me a Denny's Restaurant so I could get a Grand Slam Breakfast. It was sooooooooo good....

Last trip was to Green Bay, Wisconsin. Great weather and a nice ride!

My last trip was yesterday to a convent in Fremont, CA. It was tucked away from the street address and had to drive down a long driveway to reach it. Thank you Garmin!!

We are on a trip now from TN to the shores of Lake Superior and a circle drive around the lake. The Garmin has taken us to many beautiful places. We won't leave home to go on a trip without it.

Rode the Harley from Poconos to SC.

Last saturday I used my Etrex Venture HC during a hike in the Black Hills of SD from Sylvan Lake to Harney Peak.

It is about 6 miles round trip with elevation change of about 1100 feet. The scenic views during the hike are fantastic.

From the old fire watch tower at the peak you can see Ellsworth AFB which is over 28 miles away.

Will be going to Louisiana next week to visit family and do a little gambling. Gps and Jill is coming with me and also my wife.

Sauk Village and Chicago Heights

Really enjoy that place!!!!

Smooth traveling to the local Costco and back home. No major traffic to speak of and the Google Navigation worked without a hitch. Quite hot out by the way, so the lack of a traffic backup was especially appreciated.

Believe it or not I use my GPS daily traveling to the office and back. Not that I get lost without it. My 1490 shows bunch of info like speed, time, traffic, estimated arrival time etc. Just can't live without it.

To the beach and other shore points.

Devils Tower, WY
Mt Rushmore, SD
Camp site near Jewel Cave, SD

Luling, La (near New Orleans) to Dallas, TX to Bridgeport, TX to Dallas. Return via Shreveport ,LA to Alexandria, LA to Luling. Zumo 660 did very well.

to route 66

Harvey and Calumet City

Went to a place we'd only been to once before. Never would have found it without the Garmin

The Intercounty Highway? Shoot, I thought they'd have it by now. thanks

I'll be heading up to the Jersey Shore from Florida for a vacation next week. I will be driving a rental car from Newark down to the shore and will be traveling to quite a few locales I've never been to before along the shore and around northeast Jersey.

I'm looking forward to all the POI spots and help I've derived from this forum.

Thanks to all.

I use mine every day. It keeps me up to date on arrival times to my destinations

Will be heading to Louisiana on Tuesday morning. Will be using my new 3790lmt for the first time on a trip. Will see how it does.

Trekked down I95 through Harford County past Baltimore and back with the support of the Google navigation app. No traffic issues impacted us and a pleasant day weather wise, however there was significant traffic accident on the Southbound side that must have just occurred right before we passed going North. No indication of traffic on the Google navigator for 10 minutes or so afterwards. Not sure what is typical, but obviously quicker notifications are always helpful.

Nuvi 765T w/latest maps & firmware GPS routed me back to NYC: 17 to I40 to 117 to I795 to I95, etc.
Hit a 3 hour construction delay in Virginia (I95 mile marker 35 to 40 approx).

Down to see my bud and his kid. Tons of new -style junction views, and the traffic on the nuvi was spot on.

A great weekend except for all the rain!

Went to Midlothian, Illinois, there's a great BBQ place here called HOG WILD, and just use your nose to find it.

Navigated to Tahquamenon Falls, Paradise, Michigan. I have no idea how it became named Paradise, but the town motto is, "Whatever the season, wouldn't you rather be in Paradise?"

The falls, though, were well worth the trip.

Roadtrip through the Cleveland area - POIs came in handy looking for specific stores for shopping!

My GPS is getting a nice tan in the windshield of my car this Summer!!

Wow, it's hot in MD!

Great Falla, Virginia

Used it to explore Western NY

Heading to Columbia to drop off daughter at a friend's house.

The heat has been keeping us close to home this week and into today! Just made a quick run to the store to restock after sundown and then back into the air conditioning. No issues and the late evening is a great time to avoid the crowds at the store...

with my nuvi 760. Still very happy with it. Have lifetime maps.

Took my nuvi 660. It'll get you there and back, but very few of the residential roads around town are mapped. Many of the roads aren't in the online maps either.
