Welcome / open talk

When I checked My Favorite files a couple days ago, I noticed that Trader Joe's and Ford Dealerships had updated (Dated Dec 2) but I didn't have the check mark on them as 'new'.

Yesterday, I noticed that Aldi also was new (Dec 3) but again,there was no check mark on that file as 'new'.

Has anyone else noticed the change in the map for EPE?

Also Is anyone else getting a Script Error when trying to use the Street View (little man) and then cant leave that view unless you go to another record?

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.

Hey

I'm new to the site and was wondering if someone could explain the process of putting a POI file onto my Garmin Delz 770? I use a Windows computer if that helps. Oh i also drive for Schneider dedicated.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

My wife has a problem with spatial navigation -- she gets lost readily. I've just bought her a Garmin automotive GPS for our car, hoping that might help. Anyhow, I was just doing some background reading, and I ran across an article that I thought might interest you all. It's about a conjectured link between use of GPS devices and loss of cognitive function in old age.

The westbound brisge over Davis Canyon, southeast of Tucson, along I-10 will be replaced soon. Westbound traffic will be subject to a 67 mile detour and about a 2 hour increase in travel time.
Not sure when this will begin or how long it will take.

France and the families of all who were affected by the events of Friday night.

I spotted this new little $99 PC in the news a couple weeks ago:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=83-722-001

It's a tiny "desktop" PC that includes Windows 10 and is about the size of a large smartphone.

Seems to belong somewhere near the same neighborhood as a "stick PC" or maybe a Raspberry Pi; add your own display, keyboard and mouse.

Good day

Can anyone point me to any resources they found useful in explaining datums ? And/or a conversion utility between them ?

I have several years of data from the mid-90's that reference NAD27 as my hardcopy maps at the time were based on NAD27 and I setup the GPS (a Garmin 45XL) the same. These days I use WGS84 on the new units.

This week we’re recognizing Bayou Navigator, for his
GPS Hacking Concerns U.S. Navy Enough To Resume Teaching Celestial Nav? thread.
He actually started it the previous week, but I thought it provided an interesting forum discussion and I liked how he continued participate in the discussion after the original post.
