Keeping The Windmill Alive - Your Last Trip? – January 2016

In danger of losing your windmill?

Maybe you can share the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you used it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.).

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

So How Many got a GPS

So how many members got a GPS for Christmas?

Was it what you wanted? Was it a surprise? Have you gone for a "Test Drive" yet?

I'm very happy with the 3597 I got last year. This year I got a wireless weather station to replace my old one that the remote units are slowly failing one by one. Now, if I can just keep the tree rats away from the Rain Gauge!
