How old is your street view
I was looking at my address on GoogleMaps today using street view. I realized that I could see a pile of trash that would let me date the image to the spring of 2008 (some renovation work).
Is there anything unique to your street view that would let you date it?
If so, when was the shot taken?

Google Glass -- your car is the killer app
A story over in Wired that I think nails it--
http://www.wired.com/autopia/2013/04/google-glass-car/?utm_s...
Your car is the killer app for Google Glass -- not only for gps/nav, but extending into other aspects.

New Car Options
Almost all of the new model cars and trucks have available options for navigation systems. I must admit some of the capabilities and integration points are tempting. I still have not seen any with the ability for the user to add POI and update maps for a reasonable cost. I may have missed something as the capabilities of the offered systems change quite often.

new GPS idea that could be potentially very useful
After my previously posted here unpleasant experience of being pulled over by a cop while driving lawfully on a highway, and being falsely accused of "swevering", I have thought about getting a dash cam to protect myself.
Seeing these videos make me even more motivated to get one:

POI Suggestions for newbie
Can anyone who lives in Minnesota recommend some POI files that will be helpful for finding things that someone who knows nothing about Minnesota will find helpful.
In particular, the Twin Cities Metro Area.
Thanks.

Phony Speed Cameras in MD
There is an article in the Washington Post this morning concerning the town of Laurel, MD where the local police have installed a decoy speed camera - a traffic camera box with only sandbags in them. It was installed near Laurel Elementary School. The real one was installed elsewhere. DC, Prince George's & Montgomery County say that none of theirs are fakes.

anyone subject of a fishing traffic stop before?
I was on a road trip recently with a friend, driving at the speed limit on cruise control in a new rental car with less than 5k miles on the odo. There was hardly any traffic so it was a nice drive for a while.

New member / Garmin 1490LMT
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.
