Hmmm, I just found out that the Garmin NUVI 500 will run Wherigo cartridges. In fact, the unit seems to be set up for biking, walking, geocaching, wherigo, and turn by turn driving! Whoa! So, I guess my TomTom is for sale. My TomTom works great, but I need to get a device that has the third digit accuracy if I am gonna play any geogames.

Right now ( Read more... )

I caved in and bought a driving specific GPS, the Tom Tom One v3.o.
It was too good a deal to pass up. I had been trying to hold out to get a super slick multi-use model that would be as good in the woods as it would doing turn by turn, but man those suckers are expensive. The Tom Tom allows me to see latitude and longitude, so I -could- use it for ( Read more... )

Today, during my post class napvision, I traded my car to some girl for her PT Cruiser, because it had a DISH Network satellite dish on top of it, and mounted in the back was one of those old school integrated Amp/Reciever/Turntable/8Track stereos from the 70's with the wood grain sides and ( Read more... )

This whole Wherigo thing has me very interested. It's sort of like a combination of Grafedia and Geocaching. The first thing I thought when looking at the Wherigo beta site is "man this would have been AWESOME to have around when I used to do hallucinogens". In my early days of dosing, I always seemed to turn the whole experience into some sort of ( Read more... )

Wired magazine can SUCK IT for printing a nice little column called "GPS Pranks" on page 48 of the new issue. The "pranks" encourage people to -move someones geocache, then stake out the original location and laugh while folks try to find it-. They also encourage you to -create fake waypoints- on waymarking.com.

Neither of these is funny, fake ( Read more... )

In the -giving credit where credit is due- dept, I have to say I was really suprised to come home from school today and find that the AC Adapter for my new lapotron5000 had arrived! I think that is the fastest I have EVER been shipped ANYTHING> I didn't even call in my complaint about not receiving the adapter with my original order til like 4pm ( Read more... )

Today I have to do a Powerpoint presentation in front of my class. The assignment is called Powerpoint of Interest, and the instructor didn't really explain it very much other than "come up with a presentation of anything you want that has at least 10 slides, a custom animation, a sound, and some transitions".  I'm doing mine on a fictional bike ( Read more... )

Well, we had a good long successful time together, Garmin GPS V. I didn't mean to leave you on the trunk of my car as I was leaving the park today. Believe me, I came back and looked for you as soon as I noticed you were gone, but by then you had either been run over by a truck, or someone saw you and adopted you as their own. I'm gonna miss you ( Read more... )
