Where did you see that "screenconnect"? At the Garmin link? It worked fine for me, that is really weird. Did you ever contact Garmin support and share your screen with them maybe? On your phone, you could just go to boydsmaps.com in Safari and use it that way. But I suggest installing the app...

Tax parcel shapefiles are available from NJGIN open data https://njogis-newjersey.opendata.arcgis.com/search?collection=Document&q=Parcels%20and%20MOD-IV%2C%20County Of course, you would need to know how to turn these into a Garmin-compatible map. But it's certainly possible to make a Garmin...

I don't know what "most people" have for liability, but would think twice before paring that down too much. God forbid!... what if you hit a school bus, or just a car full of people? In today's world, I think you would be looking at millions of dollars in potential liability. Of course, that's a...

A new map is now available for your amusement! :dance: 2017 USDA/NAIP aerials with mid-atlantic coverage. I will be upgrading all the NJ NAIP aerials to this larger area in the coming weeks. A bit of trivia.... my maps of the Pines are about 500,000 tiles. Full New Jersey maps are about a...

If (for the sake of argument) the blue book value of your vehicle is $1000 and it needs a $2000 repair, I think the insurance company will just take it, "total it out" and send you $1000. I suppose it depends on the policy though. This was over 30 years ago, when I was on the faculty at SUNY, a...

I don't know anything about trucks, but isn't one that is 18 years old with over 200k miles worth almost nothing today? What happens if you total it? Would they send you a check for a couple hundred bucks? Seems like you would only want liability and the other stuff that protects you in that case.

Forget the gps... after reading that, I was wondering how many motorcycles he's been through! :D

There were no pictures, just links and graphic descriptions of what you would find on the site(s). That was outrageous enough, all by itself.

Bumping this old thread since I just noticed it was linked to in this article. https://medium.com/@Richlv/a-public-letter-to-garmin-cce36f919c71 Their plea is sincere, but I suspect it will fall on deaf ears. IMO, Garmin has decided their touchscreen devices just can't compete with smartphones...

I have had State Farm for 40 years or so, we had a big increase (20% maybe?) several months ago and from what I've read, all the companies have had big increases. "Car insurance rates are up almost 21% for the 12 months ended in February, according to new Consumer Price Index data released...

Will probably do better than me. I filled it out online and it took a long time with all the confusing questions and the requirement to create an account at id.me. But... whatever, last year I got a surprisingly large check for property tax relief, so it was worth the effort.

From the NJ 2024 Property Tax Relief booklet I received the other day. Even dead people need to follow the instructions. :D

In some states, all the drivers licenses are real ID compliant but NJ is not one of them. The whole thing is ridiculous, having to make an appointment to get this thing which everybody should have. I can renew my drivers license by mail or online, that's what I'm going to do; anything to save a...

That would be around here then?
