Illinois Considering Alllowing Motorcycles to Treat Some Red Lights as Stop Signs

Because bikes and cycles are often too light to trip sensors at some lights, there is a bill on the Illinois governor's desk to allow motorcycles to treat red lights as stop signs. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2011/08/03/proposed-law-would-al...

New GPS accurate to the inch even without satellite ("LocataLites")

Here's a story about "LocataLites" or GPS units that are accurate to a few centimeters even in places where satellite signals are blocked. This could be the next generation of GPS.

Geocaching goes mainstream?

Well, I never thought that our small local paper would publish an article on GPSs, let alone Geocaching.

But there it was yesterday, on the front page no less.

August long weekend gas price increase

Gas went up 9 cents a liter here in 8 hours in 'celebration' (kak!) of the August 1st holiday. It's 1.339 per liter from 1.249.

How do these people get away with this year after year? I can only say GOOD as it keeps the Alberta tourists away!

Rest Area File

Prior to leaving on a 1500 mile trip with our RV, I updated my Rest Area POI. Prior to doing this, I was receiving a notification of a Rest Area two miles out. After downloading the updated version I received no alerts. When I went to "Extras" the Rest Area POI file was there and if I went to a specific RA, it did show that the POI did have an alert setting.

What did I do wrong?

Calculated distance to a POI

This topic has probably been discussed before.

If it has I apologize, if it has not, I hope someone finds it useful.

I've been on a quest...

The quest was on how to enhance the contents of POI csv files so the POI's descriptions would, in addition to name, address, phone etc, it would also have things like coordinates and distance between my house and each location.

Android tablets

Picked up the Android Toshiba Thrive Tablet a few days ago.Only has wifi.Been playing around with the navagation.It seems to work as long as you don't leave the route.Once you do you have to re-set from another wifi connection. See http://www.nothingbuttablets.com/2921 .Wondering if anyone else has any feed back on navagation on other tablets with wifi.Or using something other then Google.

Yet another map error headache

Seems that another map error is causing grief.

See:

http://www.dailypress.com/news/york-county/dp-nws-yorktown-p...

When an obvious error is causing problems, then why can't the map supplier give that a high priority?

Then you have the folks that don't have a clue that the maps can and should be updated every now and then.
