Installed with no apparent issues.

Why is it so difficult to create clean POI files

I modify POI files for the way I want to see them. The problem I find is that 80% of the ones I use are from 20% to 50% messed up because of extra spaces, commas, colons, missing data, bad data, brackets, mis-spellings.....
Why is it so hard to get clean files?

Older versions of maps

Hi all,
I have GPSMAP 478 with the Russian 2GB card and have determined that Map 2019.2 is the latest coverage I want. Is there a site where I can download older versions of the maps?

Low Clearances (PDF)

There is a downloadable pdf file for low cleareances for all the states. There was an android app from O'Mecha Online but it doesn't work any more. The file is from the following:
member.coach-net.com No membership required. Gives state routes and interstate and the clearances. Hope this helps.

toilet paper

I found all the articles interesting, first hoarding, then not really, people are home and not somewhere else, need more of it actually, and mills can't simply switch from commercial to private, etc.

CVS Pharmacy

I have just completed the latest update of the file. During the update, I noticed that the website locator also had the locations listed that have a Clinic available. There are over 1050 CVS locations along with Clinic's at some of the Target locations. I decided to list these Clinic locations in this latest update. See Column C

Happy Easter

May your life be blessed with the love of Christ and you find happiness in this love. He is risen! He is risen, indeed!

it's a bad century to be a hugger

Seriously, although I am American born, my culture, and my wife's, it I think is what we referred to in HS as the romance languages whatever.

School's out for (spring &) summer .... or the latest COVID-19 victim.

Latest COVID-19 victim, all Pennsylvania schools.

PA Governor Wolf orders all schools closed for the rest of the year.

My wife is a school teacher, teaches strings (orchestra). Very hard to teach music to elementary students via the computer but that's what they have her doing. Fun fun fun.

Current Covid-19 Data

I have found the definitive .csv source for daily COVID-19 updates if anyone is interested. They're being stored on GitHub in daily sequential files. Here's my PHP code to access the latest:

$date = date('Y-m-d');

$pdate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date .' -1 day'));

do you notice skims?

I knew casinos did it, but today, I was looking at online groceries (never used them before), and orange juice is now 52 oz.?

I knew of course it was 64 oz. almost my entire life, then reduced to 59, but now 52?

When will we as Americans push back? Certainly we shouldn't be taken advantage of just for having poor math skills!

Freedom (spotted a bald eagle)

Wifey, Zeke (my dog) and I made our usual trip to a place Zeke can stretch his legs early this morning. As more and more places are "closed" it's getting tougher to find a spot away from everyone else. At least not many folks are out early in the AM.

PANDEMIC - Coronavirus Movie

This movie was shot in 2007. It is absolutely chilling, more than creepy, how the coronavirus we face today is like this movie shot 13 years ago. They nailed it!

This is remarkable, uncanny, spooky how 'Event 201' is so much like what is going on right now with the coronavirus.
