Every so often we get an email indicating that our Car (2011 Ford Escape) has the distinct pleasure of a GPS Map Update, and if we ACT FAST, We can get it without paying the Mailing and Distribution Charge!!

As Usual, I replied that when The Update is a LIFETIME Update, with User POI's supported, that I would be interested....

I have been giving some thought to taking a trip from Saint Paul MN to Chicago IL via Amtrak. At first glance it seems to be:

-A less expensive travel option, in some cases, and

-You spend much more time in transit.

It seems to be delayed, except for the Verrazano and Tappan Zee (new NY Bridge), from my own experience. Grand Island took over 3 weeks, and MD 200 took over a week.

Now I used the Express lanes on 95 south in MD, and nothing 10 days later. Normal E-ZPass shows up same day, and no longer than 2 days.

Just bought my first motorhome last year, albeit she's an old one, but got it cheap and it's a clean well maintained model, the prior owner had every record, of every oil change, and part they had to replace, 1995 Fleetwood Southwind.
I was wondering how many on here travel with their home in tow, and how you like it?

where can i get Loves trucks stops POI files?

Something happened to my phone, and have been without for 3 days (imagine that--I would have laughed 5 yrs. ago saying so what, today? Very stressful around work).

Popular e-commerce website Newegg is the latest victim of cyber attacking by Magecart, according to Volexity, a cyberthreat monitoring firm. Newegg is one in a string of high profile cyber attacks making use of the card skimming code which recently compromised British Airways, Ticketmaster, and Feedify.

The Window 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809) is now available for download, but along with the new features and improvements, it appears that some users are not having a smooth upgrade experience.
