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.

Google Earth Pro License Key
I hope this hasn't been posted at POI factory. Google is offering free license key. I don't really think I'd need the extra features but I'm signing up anyway because it's free. This may be useful to some of you.
The cost for Google Earth Pro is now zero

Should Consumer Use of Drones be Regulated or Banned in the U.S.?
As a hobbyist, I think these little gadgets are fun to play with but they are getting a lot of bad press lately.
http://www.cbsnews.com/drones/

There are already regulations in place that control the use of drones in certain areas but no practical way to enforce them.
