    New Garmin GPSMAP 66i

    Congratulations on your retirement and 66i. All I got was a Mickey Mouse watch. Anyway, I’m very close to pulling the trigger on a 66s for when I go mountain biking. The one concern I have is will I have a problem with sun glare. Whenever it’s convenient could you share your experience? Thanks

    Had the same question a few years ago when I wanted to take my grandson. Ultimately found out the best source of information were the waitresses at Lucille's. They found out from customers or gave me contact info for people connected to the bombing range.

    Just talked to the folks at Delaware Veteran's Memorial Cemetery. Flags are being installed today, same as in prior years. Not putting up flags was deemed to be a suggestion, not a requirement.

    Offline Maps - Handheld vs. App GPS

    Boyd, you brought up a good point that I never considered. In the winter with no leaves on the trees even if I have power it may be difficult to read an iphone screen without stopping. I'm not stopping. Unfortunately I'm at the point in l;ife where I need a 3.5 to 4 inch screen. I assume...

    Guest Opinion: Devise a user-friendly vision for the Pinelands (Albert Horner)

    Went for a ride on Bailey Rd. in F. Parker Preserve off of Chatsworth-Barnegat Rd. Saw at least a dozen deer, a bald eagle, too many squirrels to count, and I think a small pack of coyotes that ran away before I could ID them. In three hours over 17+ miles I didn't encounter one fellow human...
