State Farm's "Drive Safe & Save"
Greetings,
Is anyone familiar with or an actual user of State Farm's Drive Safe & Save program which uses either OnStar or SYNCH--or for those like me with neither, the separate In-Drive.com device?
It seems to offer much besides potential insurance rate reductions including much of the info offered by Garmin's EcoRoute HD device.

Lockheed Martin powers up its first GPS III satellite, stays on track for 2014
Lockheed Martin powers up its first GPS III satellite, stays on track for 2014
Flicking the switch clears it for testing and keeps the GPS III program's 2014 launch window within view. More importantly, the activation takes us one step closer to improved GPS accuracy for civilians and soldiers alike.

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.
This thread will be closed on the last day of the month and a new one will be opened.

How much free memory is needed?
At the present I have only 3MB of free internal memory on my 1450LMT. Is this enough free space for the unit to function properly?

Just getting back.....
Have been otherwise occupied (health issues) for the last couple of years. Didn't realise how much I missed this site!. Have just got a new Garmin Nuvi 2495, so will probably be downloading several files.

The Red Lightmare
Chicago's NBC News gives a good investigation into the Red Light Cameras in the city. The 'winning' intersection? I-55 and Cicero. One single intersection generated over 20,000 tickets and $2 million in fines.

This week we are recognizing Frugalscotty!
Frugalscotty is a relative newcomer to our community. He recently suggested we start a bargain thread. I know our users are generally the first to spot deals and are up-to-date on the latest accessories so I think it will be a great way to share that with one another year round and not just over the holidays.
