Another Reason To Wear Motorcycle Helmet.
I know there are a few of us motorcycle riders that have GPS so I thought I would share what I was told today by an lawyer and part time Judge for traffic volations. In the Phoenix area he said any PHOTO radar pictures of people with helmet and face shield that cant' be identified can't be prosocuted.

For what kinds of POIs do you use alerts
Hi,
Just getting started with adding POIs to my Garmin 765. I've already added the Rest Areas and I really like the idea of proximity alerts for things like that, but I'm curious about what kinds of POIs people are using proximity alerts for? Or, for that matter, when you might use the alert based on speed, as the option in POILoader allows you to configure.

New Costco Location
One about 6 months old in southern Maryland. Just passed by it yesterday off route 301.
The coordinates are:
N 38 degrees 40.235 min
W 76 degrees 52.387 min
It doesn't exist in the databases I have for Costco. It includes a gas station.
Hope this helps.

New Purchase
Just bought a Garmin 1350 at Costco for $129.99 (free shipping). That's a heck of a lot cheaper than what I paid $350 + shipping for my 3 year old Nuvi 350.
Hope this one works out as well, but if it doesn't, I very much like Costco's return policy.
Anything I need to on the look for???

Windmill Question.
Yea. After 46 weeks I got a windmill! Now, the question.
To maintain active status one must "post". Does this mean creating a new "post" or simply responding to one that already exists?

Driving while programming.
From the WSOCTV website in SC. I wonder why they listed his home address:
[BELMONT, N.C. -- Our newspaper partner, The Gaston Gazette, is reporting that state troopers stopped a distracted driver who blazed through Belmont at 102 mph while a 4-year-old girl slept in the backseat of his sport utility vehicle early Saturday.

In Ohio you can get a speeding ticket by an officer who now can estimate your speed
"A police officer's unaided visual estimation of a vehicle's speed is sufficient evidence to support a conviction for speeding in violation of [state law] without independent verification of the vehicle's speed if the officer is trained, is certified by the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy or a similar organization that develops and implements training programs to meet the needs of the communit
