Welcome / open talk

Over the last few months I made a couple of long trips through the western states. I noted that the Octane Rating for Regular gas was 85.5 at almost all gas stations. However, the Octane Rating for Regular gas in Alberta and British Columbia was 87.0.

Can anyone inform me why the Garmin DC40 dog tracking collar is not legal in Canada?

Nothing remotely connected to a GPS but I found the following very interesting and am going to try it on some rusted parts in my gas grill.

Hope it was a good one!

This week we are recognizing alandb!

Alandb is a regular around the forums and can often be relied upon for a thoughtful or helpful comment or suggestion. This week his thoughts were particularly helpful in the “Deleting Map In Internal memory” thread. He also posted the useful “Garmin Nuvi Model History” in the Garmin talk forum.

This is the place to talk about things that are not gps related.

Have fun...

As posted above, I am just curious if you use you vehicle GPS all the time when driving, whether you need it or not, if you don';t even turn it on when not needed, or do you put it elsewhere when not needed? My wife drives a Dodge Grand Caravan and she completely stored the Garmin Nuvi 500 most of the time and only powers it up when needed.

How do i upload a file to this site? Do i need a program on my computer? thanks.

I have basecamp in my PC and when i go to Canada there is no detail,something wrong or do i have to spend more money to do what mapsource does for free.

In reviewing my SPAM folder this morning I came across a message from Defend Bedbugs with a message subject of "Bed Bugs a REAL Nightmare." That kind of got me thinking with just this single line to work with.

Does anyone have a desire to create a new POI file for Brixx Wood Fired Pizza?

There's a particular intersection where I wish a RLC cam would be installed....yesterday.

People routinely blow the light, come off the expressway and bypass the line by making an illegal left turn. All because there isn't a camera and they know it.

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.

Technology advances thereby affecting forum usage. Recently I ran across a "Civil War Trails" Android application put out by the State of Maryland that conceptually "wipes out" my North Carolina "Civil War Trails" POI project.
