Tornado Strikes
The May 3, 1999 F5+ Tornado in Oklahoma was on the ground for 100 miles, and was anywhere from 1/3 mile to over 1/2 mile wide. That's a long strike.

A little off the subject about a gps but we all need our computer for the gps.I was reading this article in the paper this morning about the Novatel MiFi 2200 available from Verizon and found it to be interesting. See http://www.mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Id=7019 .

Wisconsin police may track people without warrant using GPS
Can't do this in Canada... I think this Wisconsin decision might be challenged.

" MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin police can attach GPS to cars to secretly track anybody's movements without obtaining search warrants, an appeals court ruled Thursday. "

Wrong Walmart Location
I thought maybe someone with the knowledge of how to create and edit POI's could update the location of the Walmart in Hayward, Wisconsin. It is currently about 7 or 8 miles south of the true location. I don't know how to make this change to POI's or I would attempt to do the change myself. I don't know what the lon/lat positions are, but here is the current address.

Buyer Beware
There are factory refurb Nuvi 660 models being sold on Ebay which do NOT have the expected FM transmitter. This may not be a big deal, since the transmitter is weak, and not very useful on many vehicles, but you should know before you buy. Some of the auction items neglect to mention this. Still, not a bad deal. I paid less than $150.

Stolen GPS units.
Always Turn Off Stolen GPS Units
It was only a matter of time before some numbskull criminal stole a GPS-equipped car or phone, but we didn't expect someone to steal live GPS units. A group of crooks in Lindenhurst, NY swiped 14 functioning GPS devices from the Town of Babylon Public Works. Understandably, authorities had no trouble tracking them down.

A question on a topic unrelated to GPS
Since I have found that everyone on this GPS web site is very tech savy, and since I really do value your ideas, I would like to ask a question to the group that is un related to a GPS and see what you think. I am planning on purchasing a surrond sound theater and am trying to determine whether to buy an up-convert DVD unit or a Blu-ray unit.
