1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 maps are now online. I also changed the name of the 1975 map to make it clear that it's different from others in the series. And here's something interesting that I just noticed... we have maps of what "they" don't want you to see! :D...

Has been a long hot spell with no relief, that is really rough for people who need to work outside. Looks like we might finally get a little break with temps dropping to the mid 80's this weekend and (maybe) a little lower early next week. In the meantime, it's a good excuse not to do all the...

And that's how it actually worked out. Looks like less than 1/4 inch at my place, which is confirmed by the NJDEP data. Some places got over two inches. https://njdep.rutgers.edu/rainfall/

The 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 Landscape of the US maps are now available. Hoping to have the whole series completed by the end of next weekend. Once I get a map all setup, it takes about 22 hours of computer time just to render the final version, then around two more hours to export and package...

I was thinking the same. But they have increased the rainfall predictions for tonight and tomorrow now. There's a substantial variation in the forecast across Southern NJ however. [edit]They have now posted a new map Also, a full briefing here...

This seems odd. If you look at the actual forecast, so far they are only predicting between 1/10 to 1/4 inch rain in the yellow area and just 1/10 inch in the green...

FYI: have now added maps for 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. More on the way...

Was looking for something else and stumbled on these pix that I took two years ago, comparing a cheap rugged Android phone that I use for testing with my Montana 600. There's just something very cool about this size and form factor for a GPS, it has a 5-inch screen just like the Montana 700 (the...

Five more maps are now available: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and then there's 1975, which is an interesting one as I mentioned above. I suspect the date depends on exactly which part of the map you're looking at. But my sense is the same, this is 1970's data that was only re-formatted in the 1980's...

The problem is (IIRC) that Birdseye needs to be authorized before it will work on a GPS (it works in Basecamp without authorization). But Garmin no longer authorizes the legacy version of Birdseye that we all have. So, any imagery that's already authorized should work, but you can't download new...

I also have Birdseye files from two old devices. Those will work on the computer in Basecamp (or at least they did last time I tried) and they will work on the devices they were originally registered for. But I don't think they will work anywhere else now, because Birdseye is completely...

I think the premium units all include birdseye - don't they? And I think you can download directly on the gps with wifi or maybe through an app on your phone. But that will just get you whatever currently passes for "Birdseye" which might be different from the maps you're using now. But (AFAIK)...

If it's a Montana 6xx, I don't think they will refurbish that, it was discontinued long ago. They might offer you a discount on what they consider to be a comparable new(er) model. But, of course, there is nothing comparable because the only touchscreen handheld they make now is the Montana 700...

I went to their site, it didn't work with the password my browser had saved, had to go through the procedure to get a temporary one, then change it. Interesting that they only showed two old automotive GPS units in my registered devices, not my newer DriveSmart, DriveTrack (which used to have a...
