I must be getting old, because I completely forgot that I made this map back in 1882. :D https://www.loc.gov/item/88693457/

I'm finishing up a new historical map that has been a fun (but complicated) project. It's based on the 19th century George H. Cook / C.C. Vermeule topo maps from Rutgers (these are the same maps available here at NJPB: https://www.njpinebarrens.com/historic-maps/topos/george-cook-1889-topo-maps/...

This morning, somewhere around here - @Spung-Man country! :) https://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.47933394843349&lng=-74.87697220529208&z=15&type=topo&gpx= There was a car stopped in front of me and the deer was standing right next to it, so maybe it's tame and people have been feeding it...

The writing is on the wall. There has been a widespread rumor that Garmin stopped developing Basecamp, and now they have officially stated it - see this: https://support.garmin.com/en-CA/?faq=cmo7YxRdRB1DDl1JAWuEV8 "BaseCamp development has been discontinued." It appears they will begin...

Tried to use my Amex card at Lowes this morning and it was declined twice, had to write a check. Called them right away and the automated system said to expect a long wait so I hung up. Made me wonder if it was a problem with their system... Called back just now, and sure enough, they were...

I have seen this phenomenon on the weather radar in different locations several times recently and finally got a screenshot this morning. Don't remember seeing anything like this in the past, but maybe I just missed it? Perhaps it's a change in the radar that shows this kind of thing now...

https://apnews.com/828aefab64d4411bac257a07c1af0ecb "An AP investigation found that Google saves your location history even if you’ve paused “Location History” on mobile devices. This map shows where Princeton privacy researcher Gunes Acar travelled over several days, from data saved to his...

Another reason not to like YouTube (not that I needed one). Now you can buy fake views of your fake news. Apparently $14 will buy 1000 fake views of your video, plus a bonus of 100 "likes". But how do you find people who sell fake YouTube views? It's simple, because their ads appear on...

Maybe some good news for NJ? :) http://www.noaa.gov/media-release/noaa-forecasters-lower-atlantic-hurricane-season-prediction Conditions in the ocean and the atmosphere are conspiring to produce a less active Atlantic hurricane season than initially predicted in May, though NOAA and FEMA are...

I hadn't heard about this before.... https://nyti.ms/2KIWYLQ "Last week, New Jersey Transit announced that it would temporarily shut down its southernmost rail line, which runs between Atlantic City and Philadelphia, in September, and redeploy crews to other lines. Mr. Corbett called that a...

My newest map package is now available for download here: _______________________________________________________________________ [edit 6/10/25] Sorry, boydsmaps stopped supporting Mobile Atlas Creator about 5 years ago and the files in this original post no longer exist. But you can access...

Just had a quick look at MOBAC 2.1.0 which was recently released. http://sourceforge.net/projects/mobac/files/Mobile Atlas Creator/MOBAC 2.0/Mobile Atlas Creator 2.1.0.zip/download The biggest attraction here is that they have removed all the built-in mapsources that don't work and replaced...

Apparently the Basecamp 4.70 upgrade for Windows does not work correctly. There have been multiple reports at GPSFileDepot that the new version of MapInstall included in this package cannot send maps to the GPS. If you are getting a message to upgrade Basecamp, you might want to skip this...

Really heavy around here today, was driving through Peaslee this morning and there was a yellow haze in the air. When a gust of wind came along, it looked like smoke blowing from the pine trees. Heavy rain forecast for tonight - that should help.

I guess I'm just getting old, but this really is "Electronics Insanity". You give Amazon access to your home and car via internet connected smart locks (not to mention the ability to snoop with video and audio)... what could possibly go wrong with that? Sounds like a hacker's holy grail. :dance...
