Thanks

Yesterday i finally tried the osm map from the first post in "Free routable maps for garmin"
Now my almost ten year old never updated nuvi 300 is back in buisness! smile

I could easily pick out a section of the world and 12 hours later the map was ready for me. The size has got to be under 2gb for my nuvi and the one i got was at 1,6 gb.

Keeping The Windmill Alive - Your Last Trip? – May 2014

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.

Homeland Security: Don't use IE due to bug

Already mentioned in the Windows XP thread but this is a bug not just for XP and deserves its own topic to alert everyone.

The U.S. Department of Homeland security is advising Americans not to use the Internet Explorer Web browser until a fix is found for a serious security flaw that came to light over the weekend.
