New (old) Member Introduction
Hi All - I registered with this site nearly 8 years ago but haven't been active. I apparently didn't bookmark the site and I simply forgot it existed....getting old I guess. 
Browsing through the site I see lots of useful information. As I learn the site better I am looking forward to contributing whenever I can.

Fitbit and other trackers
After doing a search for Fitbit I see there are a few here using trackers and was curious to find out how many septuagenarians do the 10K or more steps a day as recommended by the AHA?
Mon-Fri I'm in the 10 to 13 thousand group

Keeping The Windmill Alive - Your Last Trip? – February 2017
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.

Do You Always Have Faith That The Location You Selected Is Accurate?
A co-worker and I were discussing times when our GPS units got it wrong. He mentioned a trip in Washington state where Garmin messed up. I happened to recall a time last summer when I tried routing to an Arbys in Rice Lake WI and it routed me to a resort area, miles away from the city, and there was no Arbys there, much less any other restaurants.

No wonder (ways to trick voice-assistant systems)
It's no wonder why my nuvi's Voice Command occasionally thinks I'm asking it a question:
