Good Wx for a drive

Spring is springing. Time to reload the Garmin with the latest maps.

Springing Forward to Daylight Saving Time

If you don't have atomic /radio controlled clocks remember to set your clocks an hour forward tonight before going to bed.

Replacing the batteries in your smoke & carbon monoxide detectors should also be a must for everyone smile

A Question From a Newbie (way to measure GPS and Google Earth error?)

Hello everyone. I have followed this forum for several years but since I have little to contribute, I never saw the need to join until now.

Keeping The Windmill Alive - Your Last Trip? – March 2015

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.

“Hi guys!

I found the issue and it has been fixed in EPE v5.92. Just go on my wiki site and download the latest version.

Under no circumstances whatsoever, will logic and common sense be tolerated.

Baby, it's cold outside!

Here in Mentor, Ohio, it's -17 degrees outside. What's it where you are?

EPE

I tried to use EPE today to update the Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores POI file that I maintain.

Immediately upon loading the file I get a "script" error.

It happens as EPE is trying to display the Google Map in the lower left pane or when doing geocoding on a new POI. I am wondering if Google has changed something that Turbo was relying on in the API

Is anyone else having this problem?

Snow event

Good time to stay inside and update the Garmin.
