    Yeah... it comes up for a few seconds, then says something like "Premium content exclusive for subscribers"

    HERE maps - possible changes coming

    A mobile version of the dark streetmaps is now available. Like the light version, you don't need to do anything, the mobile version is automatically used when your device is set to mobile mode. If you're using the app on a computer in desktop mode, you won't ever see this version. I tweaked some...

    Xfinity Cable Service Increase

    But you should be able to keep your existing Comcast hard-wired internet and just drop the cable TV part. I assume that's what others who posted here have done and not switched to wireless/5g. I pay $80/mo for 500mbit/sec Verizon FIOS, would think you can get something similar from Comcast...

    Xfinity Cable Service Increase

    I assume he was talking about wireless 5g internet, such as T-mobile, vs fiber like Comcast and Verizon. I suppose they might slow down at peak periods but really don't know. He was suggesting streaming video on your phone in the evening to simulate how fast that might be. My FIOS is...

    Xfinity Cable Service Increase

    With Sling, go to this link and scroll down to where it shows the different packages and click "view all channels" to see what they include. https://www.sling.com/programming/news I have the blue plus news extra plan. It also includes Philadelphia broadcast channels 6, 10 and 29 (maybe more)...

    Xfinity Cable Service Increase

    Should have mentioned, you will need a streaming device of some sort. I use an AppleTV but there are other options from Amazon and others that are really cheap, like $50 (one time purchase). Also, some streaming packages may include it in a promotion. All new TV's also have it built in, my old...

    Xfinity Cable Service Increase

    BTW, the car wifi is nonsense for most people. Maybe useful for a family where kids have their own ipads and want to stream different things while you drive? Otherwise, your phone should give you anything you need. You have an iPhone, right? Most new cars have Apple CarPlay that connects to your...

    Xfinity Cable Service Increase

    You can still get all of that from various streaming services. You would just cancel your cable plan with Comcast and only get internet from them. Then signup for a streaming package. I have Sling. Their software can be buggy, but generally happy with them and there are hundreds of channels...

    Xfinity Cable Service Increase

    All I can say is, "yeah it sucks". But everything is going up, Discovery Plus increased their ad-free subscription cost by 30%, which was outrageous. Actually I was glad, had been thinking I should cancel and that made it a no-brainer. In that case, apparently they were pushing people away from...

    Snow coming next week?

    Pretty sure the radar has been there for a long time, if you look at the aerials the tower first appears in 1995. Was it ever in Mount Holly? That's where the NWS forecast office for the Philadelphia area is located. https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/39.947033/-74.410602/pines1995/0.00/0.00 That...

    Snow coming next week?

    I have the coordinates for all of the US NEXRAD stations. Could export them as a .gpx file and post here if you'd like.

    Nationwide Public Lands Interactive Map

    Got ya. But my point was, that site may not show all public openspace in any given area. Trying to understand the pattern in the screenshot above. The Great Egg Harbor River WMA is only partially shown on the US map, for example. Maybe new acquisitions and/or consolidation of smaller properties...

    Snow coming next week?

    There's also KDOX which is supposed to be at Dover AFB in Delaware, but is actually South of there in Ellendale State Forest at the location shown below. I generally use that site for my part of NJ as it does a much better job of showing storms that approach from the South...

    Snow coming next week?

    That's the location of the KDIX weather radar station https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/39.947304/-74.410130/pines2023/0.00/0.00

    Snow coming next week?

    I would be fine with that, but it's Ben's call and we have not previously discussed. @Ben Ruset - what do you think?

    Nationwide Public Lands Interactive Map

    Looks pretty good. However, it does appear to be incomplete in some areas - for example, lots of public land around the Mays Landing area is missing. Maybe I missed some menu setting? Didn't spend any time looking at other areas, so this might just be a fluke. My maps use the NJDEP openspace...

    HERE maps - possible changes coming

    One of the things that I liked about the HERE street maps is they have both mobile and desktop versions. I had it setup to automatically choose the version based on your device preference. Was road-testing the new streetmaps the other day, and the labels were just too small for me to easily read...

    I can take a look, but you might have to wait awhile. These things aren't georeferenced, and that's a process that must be done "by hand".
