My wife and I are taking a trip to Florida from KC, and will be spending an afternoon/evening in Memphis on our way back next weekend. We're staying at the Peabody, and have heard that Beale Street is the place to go, but it looks a bit overwhelming to say the least.

Heading down to Fort Walton Beach on Friday, and looking for some suggestions for places to visit, eat, drink, etc.

Hi All,

Just saw a notice that the newest GPS spacecraft will be entering service, 1st of 12. Mid to late August 2010.

Launch back in late May, has undergone 3 months of in orbit testing.

Has anyone read a review or seen this new auto mirror from Escort. It has a built in GPS, Blue Tooth & Backup Camera

Here's an article about GPS tracking of consumers by a promotions agency: http://adage.com/globalnews/article?article_id=145183

This week we are recognizing D-Moo70 for all of his work on the Royal Canadian Legion Branches project.

I know this has been a huge undertaking and I appreciate having this project in our community.

Great Job!!!

Here is an interesting story about the use of GPS to track criminals.

In the US, you're gonna need a search warrant first:

Navteq classify roads in five different categories:

Main Road
First Class
Second Class
Third Class
Fourth Class

Does anyone know what these road definitions mean?

I'm guessing that 4th class is unpaved and main road is probably a paved divided limited access highway, but that's just a wild guess.

Newb saying hi, just upgraded to a Garmin Nuvi 1390T from the C330 that was stolen at Komoka Provincial Park in Ontario. Take your goodies when you hike

Lot of cool POI's here never used them on the 330, this is going to be fun.

Red light cameras gain traction in New Port Richey

NEW PORT RICHEY — The City Council has taken the first step toward installing red-light cameras across New Port Richey.

Council members voted 3-2 on Tuesday night to proceed with researching how, where and when to install the cameras, with Mayor Scott McPherson and Judy DeBella Thomas dissenting.

hey guys im having trouble deciding on where to go . i can leave thurday night and i can be back preferrably saturday late night or sunday morning. i live in queens so i guess anything maybe no more than 4 away would be nice that way i dont waste to much of my time driving.
im not picky and im open to all suggestion

some one suggested montaulk they sed there was nice beaches there.

Some of the members may already know about this and use it.I just started trying it out.It is one of the best editing programs I have came up on for photos and so user friendly.The best part is the GEO-Tag feature that connects to Google Earth for tagging or adding photos.Really simple.Just select the pictures and line up on the Google Earth map and tag them.See http://picasa.google.com/ .

This week we are recognizing one of our very first members. Kch50428 has been with us since the very beginning. He is number 2340, and it is always a pleasure to have him active in the forums.

It is nice to have been around so long that you get nostalgic when older members come back home after being silent for a while.
