G3 geomagnetic storm in progress
We've had the first big storm in a long time.. It's classed as a G3.
The reason we should care is that there is the possibility of GPS accuracy being greatly degraded during the solar event. If you've experienced an unusual loss of accuracy today, then this might be the reason.

Got aTicket for Registration Plate Cover
As I mentioned in the Topic, I got a ticket for $65 yesterday.
The car was PARKED.
I think it's ridiculous because it's not a smoke color, it's a clear see-through plastic.
It's one like this on my rear plate http://tinyurl.com/yfxqkds
Any ideas? Pay the $65 or fight back?
Thanks.

Can Russia sell home-grown satellite navigation to a country reliant on American GPS?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8595704.stm
With the Glonass satellite-navigation constellation nearly complete, Russia's plan to wean itself off the US Global Positioning System (GPS) appears to be coming to fruition.
But Moscow now says it wants the Russian system to work hand-in-hand with GPS rather than being a direct competitor.

Speeders no longer getting 'cushion' of 5 mph
http://www.azcentral.com/business/consumer/articles/2010/03/...
The recession may be claiming a new victim: the 5-10-mph "cushion" police and state troopers across the USA have routinely given motorists exceeding the speed limit.

Forum Navigation
So I've started to contribute to the conversations and noted that if I post a comment, I'm returned to the first post of the thread...
Why not to the end (and most recent post) of the thread so I can proof read my post and any subsequent or simultaneous posts?
Or is that an option in my account I haven't realized?
Thanx in advance

Icon's galore
Hi all, was wondering I used a GPS from a friend of mine after my GPS was stolen, I couldn't help but notice that his gps was loaded with icons showing what type of business or service was close to where the gps is / was located. When I got my new Garmin I wanted to see if it would do the same thing.. so I turned on maximum detail.. and there still seems to be no icons for business's and such..

Greater Edmonton Alberta Canada Area POI Updates...
As a new GPS enthusiast I have noticed a severe lack of POI's (especially Traffic Camera and Speed Trap related) for the greater Edmonton area.
Would anyone be interested in getting together to create a specific POI file for the area targeting Red Light & Intersection Speed Camera locations for the Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Ft Saskatchewan, St Albert, Camrose, Beaumont, Leduc Areas???
If your into remote control models. lets create a POI for flying Clubs and Strips
If your into remote control models and either have a RC or have a fantasy wish list show what you have.
Mine is a wish list SR71 Black bird with twin jet engines, and of course mine would have a modified camera bay.
Check out this flight, it's awesome!
