10 people killed on I-75
One thing I wish it was added to the GPD traffic alert service is the ability to display Amber Alert for the road you are traveling, this may have prevented some of the dead near Gainsville or in similar road accidents cause by dense fog or smoke.

Thank you.

This week we're recognizing camerabob. He's made quite a splash this last week by putting his new GPXClean software out for people test and try out. He's made many improvements in the last few days, and it's shaping up to be a nice utility.
Thank's camerabob!!

New Award
Just the feeble mind of an old man thinking but this week RT has been an ACTIVE member for 5 years. Quite a few others are also in this category.
I propose that a special badge be awarded to all who have reached 5 years of ACTIVE membership.
Just a simple "5" badge would be nice to show their longevity as supporting members !
Just my thinking !

Question for staff
Jon or Angela,
This may have been asked before, but is there a way to get an email sent saying that a certain thread has been posted to?
This would be nice for we POI maintainers when someone makes a post to our POI discussion file. It is too easy to miss a post.
I know, I know, I have already bookmarked the thread. But, we older folks can't always remember to check it daily.
