"POI Factory is not a forum for politically charged debate.

Perhaps you can post on a new book you're reading, a new hobby you're taking up or about random finds as you finally get around to cleaning out the..., or your most recent adventure?

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

…and likely its various “flavors”.

Concerning iOS 17.4.1, Apple released iOS 17.4.1 Thursday, more than two weeks after the company released iOS 17.4. While iOS 17.4 brought new features to your iPhone, like new Stolen Device Protection options and transcripts in Podcasts, iOS 17.4.1 includes a handful of security and bug fixes for your iPhone.

A friend called my a while ago. He is using a USB GPS receiver amd is looking for navigation software with maps for it. Does anybody here have any thoughts on what to use?

Is there a way to make Google Maps on the laptop get data from the GPS receiver and do navigation?

I own some rural undeveloped acreage, and I'm constantly getting purchase offers. I get 2 or 3 per month, always from a different company. They always offer cash, but only a quarter to a third the assessed value. I questioned one caller who simply hung up abruptly when I said I wasn't interested.
