Not to get too far off topic, but I'm curious why you chose OpenTopoMap here. In my experience, it's arguably the worst topo map of the Pines. Low resolution (level 15) with many missing roads and other features. The hydro data is especially terrible, it only has minimal, low-resolution features...

Welcome to the site - great first post! Please re-size photos before posting here, Ben has limited space on the NJPB server and most of your pix are around 4MB at 4052x3024. There's really no reason to post an image this large, the forum software will just shrink it anyway. I suggest a width...

Think I'll just let them bill my expired credit card, then they can cancel my non-existent account when that fails. :)

So, here we are almost two years after discontinuing all the HERE maps and permanently closing my developer account. Today I got this bill for my non-existent account, payable immediately. :ninja: Good riddance to these guys, I sent a message using their contact form to just leave me...

No doubt some AI fans will celebrate this, but so far, it's not going over so well for Microsoft :D Microsoft's current head of Windows, Pavan Davuluri, has posted on X saying that the future of the platform is one that is "evolving into an agentic OS," weeks after the company reorganized the...

These maps are working again this morning. :dance:

Just noticed that the USGS-hosted topo and aerials are not loading. Not sure if the govt shutdown has finally caught up with them or if it's something else, they were definitely working yesterday. Interestingly, the US3DEP-hosted LIDAR does seem to be working however. Hopefully they'll clear...

"Across a 20-day period, Silent Push analysis alleged that activity linked to Lighthouse had targeted people in at least 121 countries and that 200,000 scam websites can be linked back to the network. It’s likely that the number of scam messages cybercriminals are sending each day is...

For me, this kind of sums it up: "The people might know but the people don't care". So, make the best of things while you're still alive because when you're gone, nobody will really care. Yeah, there will be a few close friends and loved ones, but not "the people". I have seen too many examples...

I got that album right after it was released and it's still one of my favorites. Gave the original vinyl (along with a bunch of others) to my son in law a number of years ago and he was over the moon. But I get my my music, lyrics and insights here, instead of from Google's servers. ;)

Another lost soul :ninja:

IIRC, they re-created that skit in the Three Stooges TV bio-pic from 25 years ago (which I thought was pretty good).

So, have you tried it since I made the fix?

I have never wished for that. Did you ever try the voice recognition features on their automotive GPS'es? That was always horrible in my experience. Good voice recognition just sends a clip of your voice to big servers where it is processed and sent back to the device. Garmin has always used...
