Welcome / open talk

I have been interested lately in trying out different maps. I saw one called MapTourist.org and they can be installed on a Garmin.

Has anybody here tried MapTourist.org maps and, if so, how do they compare to other maps?

Most of us have devices that use some form of memory card (SD or uSD) so the attached article might be worth a read.

I have downloaded USA OSM Auto map regions and had no difficulty downloading or installing them on my Garmins. However, I never merged the regions to create a complete map of the USA.

I now want to download all 8 USA regions of the USA OSM Topo maps and install them. The process for the USA OSM Auto was pretty straight forward for me. I would move the .img file onto the Garmin and it worked.

I have in interest in Parcel Data and I have one app that displays it. I know that a few Garmins have it and their Garmin HuntView has it.

This morning I did a Google search for Parcel Data and found that several mobile and web mapping applications feature U.S. parcel data, property lines, and ownership details:

LandGlide

Regrid Property App

Land id

Acres

onX Hunt

Does anybody here use CalTopo? The reason I ask is because until now I have looked past it every time I saw a reference made to it. For example, I have T-Satellite and it is one of the apps that work on either Android or Apple through T-Satellite.

According to this article, there are currently only four states that allow testing/deploying of autonomous semi's: California, Texas, Arizona, and Michigan. It's been awhile since I've been in any of these states - are you actually seeing these vehicles on the highways there?

Likely security update.

I know that there are online map comparison tools. I am looking for one that allows me to use the following:

Garmin Explore

Garmin Base BaseCamp

OnX Offroad

Polaris Ride Command

Since some of us use micro SD cards in our GPS devices, I thought this would fit here.

I have a micro SD card that is stamped Micro Center Micro SD HC 32 GB (Class ) 10. I tried to use it yesterday and after formatting it I found out it is only 60.0 MB! I ran H2testw for Windows and it didn't it to be fake, but 60.0 MB is a far cry from 32 GB!

Keep working with maps and maybe you can avoid Alzheimer’s disease. (Instead, you can die from heart disease, cancer or a stroke.)
