I'm lost because Scott didn't make his usual post alerting us to the beginning of the six-day firearm season! :D Saw a bunch of trucks parked along the roads this morning and checked. Looks like it's this week - be careful out there! I'm wearing my orange hat and vest and staying on my own land...

Well, this could be the answer. :D "Some social media accounts also shared a Facebook post by the satirical site Jersey Coast Emergency News, which said state police was searching for a drone that had crashed in the Pine Barrens." Not to worry, Fox News is on the case! "One family told Fox...

If the forecast is right, we'll have a few rainy days this week, starting tomorrow...

I really haven't followed this story, skimmed through an article the other day but (IIRC) all the drone sightings were in North Jersey and the NYC Metro area. Are there credible reports of the same kind of thing in the Pines? Who is "Jersey Coast Emergency News"? Did a search and aside from...

Wow. Don't see anything in the news, except the same stories about the mystery drone sightings...

( Putting on my admin hat to be a party-pooper :clint: ) All this family history is fascinating, I'm tempted to post some of mine. But stop for a moment and think about how much of this very personal stuff you want viewable by the public. I know this feels like a friendly place with good...

I don't see the links... did you forget something? :)

They seem to like that approach for some reason. I mentioned it when I georeferenced the new MAP (or whatever they call it now) about a year ago...

For ownership and other data, use my PinesXT app... https://boydsmaps.com/pines/#15/39.778713/-74.376425/darkstreets/0/0/ You can choose another map, like the 2002 aerials if you prefer. https://boydsmaps.com/pines/#15/39.778713/-74.376425/pines2002/0/0/ Or parcel boundaries overlaid on...

Just click the crosshairs (or tap on a phone) to create a new waypoint at the current location, enter any name you want. The Save and Edit button lets you enter more information, choose symbols, etc

Was thinking about that, and should have mentioned GPS Visualizer, which is the online version of the GPSBabel app. Don't have any .gdb files handy, but think this will convert them. https://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert_input?convert_format=gpx

The only way I know would be to save each waypoint file in .gpx format using Mapsource. I never bothered to install Mapsource when I changed computers in 2000, but saving as .gpx should be an option in the file menu. If you have a bunch of files, maybe consolidate them all into a single one...

I don't think so... although the "bombs" don't contain explosives. "Annually, approximately 1,000 sorties from fighter and helicopter users throughout the northeastern United States practice weapons delivery day and night at the range. Typical users seen at the range include the A-10...

Yeah, I meant Pan (and just as a general comment for anyone else who might be new to the site).

The previous location we marked was correct in that case. In the position format you used, each degree is divided into 60 minutes. FWIW, the calculation would be 39° + (45.317 / 60) = 39.75528° - this is a positive number because it's North 74° + (26.544 / 60) = -74.4424° - this is a negative...

Right. But seconds are not part of the calculation, the decimal shows 1/1000's of a minute in his example. Degrees-minutes-seconds is another format and you might use 1/100's of a second there. Really, I don't think any of that makes sense in 2024 (unless for compatibility with some legacy maps...

Those are the coordinates Pan posted https://boydsmaps.com/#16.00/39.755280/-74.442400/legacy24k/0.00/0.00 The format he used was degrees and decimal minutes, so for example: 39 + (45.317 / 60) = 39.85528

I think there were little gauges ("gages" :D ) built right into the camera, with little lenses for each that projected an image on the same big 9-inch film plate. Of course, in our digital world today, this would all be metadata that was captured to a file. Here's an example of a full plate...

Some heavy rain woke me up last night. I grabbed this screenshot and dozed back off. That long skinny front was almost 100 miles long! It was moving really fast and passed over me in only about 10 minutes. Didn't hear anything else overnight, but it was raining lightly at 6:00 AM.

A new map is now online featuring complete New Jersey 1980's aerials along with the tri-state area, including Philadelphia, New York City and Long Island. https://boydsmaps.com/#15.00/40.548115/-75.210790/nhap80/0.00/0.00 These aerials were acquired by the USGS National High Altitude...
