http://www.nj.com/southjersey/index.ssf/2008/07/olgas_seized_by_state.html I wonder how this will impact the plan to rebuild the Marlton Circle?

Evidently the specs on a new line of Garmin handheld GPS'es were accidently leaked on Amazon's site. They sound like an update to the Colorado series. Will be interesting to see what develops. However, the Colorado has been called a "work in progress" in the reviews I've seen, and although it...

Just came across this: http://www.ibycus.com/ibycususa/ They are actually pretty nice and work with Mapsource just like the Topo and City Navigator products from Garmin. Haven't installed on my GPS yet, but here are some screenshots from Mapsource. The first is the free ibycus map, the other...

Will be very interesting to see if this new unit delivers on all they're promising... http://blog.delorme.com/2008/06/25/announcing-the-delorme-earthmate-pn-40/

If you have a Garmin Nuvi or StreetPilot GPS you may already be aware that you can change the triangle cursor pointer to a "custom vehicle". I was just looking at the new ones today, and Garmin has the perfect one for us... "Pine Power" (see attached). :dance: You can download it and other...

Now this sounds very impressive - will have to try it out. I wouldn't have believed it was possible, but evidently you can put USGS Topos and Satellite photos into a format that will work on Garmin handheld units like the 60csx: http://moagu.com/

Very interesting article from today's Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120813155330311577.html?mod=todays_us_nonsub_page_one This link may expire, so in a nutshell, the article describes the German "Waldkindergärten" ("forest kindergarten") movement, where kids attend...

I was looking for a site with free topo maps as discussed in another thread, and stumbled on this along the way: http://www.HistoricAerials.com/ It won't take the place of topozone, but it's kind of cool. In the screenshot below I am comparing Forked River Mountain photos from 2006 and 1956...

Today I was driving North on 563 when a big, unmarked black SUV came roaring up behind me and flashed police lights which were hidden behind the grill as it passed. He was followed immediately by an unmarked tan Crown Vic with similar flashing lights. A few miles up ahead I saw them pulled over...

Driving home on the Atlantic City Expressway today there was a lot of smoke coming from the Winslow WMA (just East of exit 33) which went on for several miles: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=39.659231,-74.887147&spn=0.01718,0.03768&t=h&z=15 It was quite a cloud - easily...

See: http://www.gpscity.com/cp?&s=00001&cr=022108GU&it=cnusa8ntm It should be very interesting to see how well this works. Garmin pledged to bring their software to the mac several years ago, and has fallen way behind schedule. Beta versions with limited features have gradually trickled out...

Looks like the High Definition DVD war is over... much sooner than most people expected. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080216/tc_nm/toshiba_hd_dvd_exit_dc_2

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120277561232960623.html?mod=opinion_main_review_and_outlooks Editorial in today's Wall Street Journal cites data from United Van Lines on migration patterns in the US. NJ is #3 on the list of departure states. But New York and Pennsylvania don't have any reason...

Looks like Garmin is branching out into new territory: http://www8.garmin.com/nuvifone/ http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/01/30/garmin.nuviphone/

I made the mistake of stopping by the going out of business sale at the Mt. Laurel CompUSA on Friday since I was in the area... and left with an HP iPaq 310. I've been reading about this unit at the GPSpassSion forums recently and it's rather unique. It has a pretty powerful chipset with...

Maybe some of you are already familiar with OziExplorer which lets you make maps, plot routes, etc on your PC: http://www.oziexplorer.com/ Well they now also have a version of the program which runs on the "Pocket PC" platform, including Windows CE. I recently picked up a Mio c520 which is an...

I hope nobody here got an HD DVD player for Christmas... :bang: http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/jan2008/tc2008014_928006.htm

See the review here: http://www.gpsmagazine.com/2008/01/garmin_colorado_400t_review.php?page=1 I'm glad I got the 60csx. This new model has some interesting features, but I wonder why they don't just go with a touchscreen? After using a touchscreen unit it seems very awkward to use the cursor...
