Hi,
I recently purchased a Garmin 1490LMT. I have been looking for a Garmin for awhile and ran across this one brand new for 110.00. I hope it is an OK model.
There looks like a lot of information shared on this forum and I will be browsing around more. Looking forward to reading and gathering information.

Deals have been few and far between for the last couple weeks. Finally a couple worth posting.

Aside from donating your old GPS or smart phones, there are places you can get cash, gift cards, or store credit.

I was wondering if anyone knew of programs that give cash or credit for used GPS units without having to go through the rigors of ebay.

One I found was the Amazon program -

When I loaded my POI's for the week tonight, an error was found in Marriott Properties on line 1623 (approximately).

Just a heads up.

Several weeks back, I received an email from TurboCCC. He is well. His absence is due to new employment beginning in early 2012 to which he has devoted his full energy, leaving him little time to work on his GPS projects.

I did not post earlier because I hoped -- and still hope -- that TurboCCC might drop in to say "Hello" to all of us here who are his good friends.

Let us all hope that this will work!

In danger of losing your windmill?

Maybe you can share with us the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you use it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.)

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

I miss the Hostess apple pies.

Getting ready for a trip, so I was updating my files. I was surprised by two editorial comments from those contributing to this site pointing to poor corporate involvement.

Hi, I just completed a trip from Chicago to Sarasota with a Nuvi 3590 LMT(HD Traffic) and an Android Smartphone loaded with WAZE, Inrix traffic, and Google traffic.

ran across this on CNN. A red light camera recorded some good Samaritans. As they say at the end of the video - more people ought to help others in trouble.
