MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Students and parents in Robbinsdale Area Schools are getting a hi-tech way to catch the bus.

This week we are recognizing, turboccc!

He stopped in this weekend to help us an EPE issue.
I’m including part of his message so we can thank him here and keep the EPE thread focused.

“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.

Good night to stay in and update the Garmin

Wondering how many Nam vets are on this site?
I did Tan Son Nhut and Danang 1964-5. USAF.
Welcome home, y'all. And thanks for serving.

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

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?

In this article from the Calgary Herald (February 17), the reporter indicates that number of Speed on Green tickets issued continues to increase. This, despite the fact that the camera locations are clearly marked and are listed on the Calgary Police web page.

Good time to stay inside and update the Garmin.

It's been a few years since I have used my old Nuvi 350.I have been using my Nexus 4. However my wife just purchased a new car and I would like to get her a new GPS.

I am only interested in a large screen with traffic.

Is Garmin still the best choice for these basic needs?

How many here would consider adding this device to their vehicle?

I suspect it won’t be long before the government requires auto makers to install such a product on all new vehicles.

Anyone have any idea what is a good GPS for truckers? I read a thread on this but the last comment made was in 2012. Id hope they have much better GPS units out now for Truck Drivers

I have always believed that the ethanol mandate is a bad thing. Ethanol costs more to produce than gasoline, and consumes more energy than it yields when all inputs are considered. Not to mention the cost of cleaning a fuel system when it has been sitting in your gas tank for more than a couple of weeks during humid weather.

Here's an interesting news report. It should be read by those who worry overly much when their GPS makes a mistake—and for those who worry overly much about those who overly much worry about GPS mistakes.
