Ever been driving down a road and see something that the location of would be useful to someone here at POI Factory or for your personal use and you were unable to write it down due to to safety reasons or the lack of a pen and paper?

Anyone killing travel due to Covid-19?
I won the lottery for a trip to The Wave this summer. I will be going! I am driving though, so my chance of exposure should be lower than those flying or riding in a tin tube with the general public. Let's hear from the crowd.

issue with my Nuvi 2595
Hello all, I've had an issue with my Nuvi 2595 for some time now, comes and goes.
While plugged in and GPSing, it will sometimes switch off, then come back on in computer mode then back to normal and repeat. Sometimes it takes a few miles before it starts doing the above but it's frustrating.
I've tried different cords.

do you ever learn something new, where you didn't know it for decades?
Example, with the coronavirus panic, my wife bought some stuff at Costco last week.
Since it was all food, prepared food, and one other item, toilet paper, I said hmmmmmm......I see that there's a big "A" next to the prepared food, other than that, no sales tax. And this is PA.
There is no sales tax on toilet paper in Pennsylvania. I did not know that and have lived here since 1999.

Keeping The Windmill Alive - Your Last Trip? – March 2020
In danger of losing your windmill?
Maybe you can share the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you used it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.).
Anything to keep your windmill alive.

is there a strategy / parking authority
I have always heard of this concept of "chalking" tires. Never actually saw it, sounds primitive. I mean we have zebra scanners with OCR and smartphones, etc.
But I saw a vehicle yesterday in W Phila with very clear marks on the front tire--one at 5 o'clock, one at 7, and one at 10. Does getting one at 2 somehow mean tow?
The street is not metered, maybe there is a time limit.

Subaru Owners - Software Update Available
I received an email that there is a Subaru software update available. This appears to be a spurious email message, as my car says that the maps are up-to-date.
If you don't already have your Subaru map updater installed, this is the starting point: http://www.subarumapupdates.com/index-en-gb.html. You will be subsequently asked to install the Subaru map updater.
Good-Luck!!!

We've appreciated his initiative in starting discussions on a wide variety of subjects. I think it's fair to say our community members tend to be above average in many ways and I enjoy reading about the different experiences and perspectives we're able to explore together.

Spot the station.
Spot the station.
Anyone else go out and watch the space station whiz by? Wifey and I do, not sure what the fascination is but we catch it whenever it's clear enough to see.

RLC and funerals
While at work the other day I noticed interesting thing as a funeral procession was going down the road.
Each car in the procession had a large bright orange "FUNERAL" sign covering the license plate.
I'm guessing doing that has something to do with processions that end up going through a RLC controlled intersection.
Anyone else see something like that?
