Briansue, using the app gets you a heap of extra info just by tapping an icon and then tapping the text box again.
Tony,
Unfortunately we are not smart enough to use a smart phone. We barely use flip phones. Not into phones at all. So no tapping going on here. We do use computers and do understand that smart phones can be useful and that we will eventually have to get with the program. But for now we continue to resist.
As far as downloading programs - we pay for our internet use by the GB and therefore by the MB and the KB - which means we have learned to be careful with how much we use. A couple of years ago we thought we would use the cloud so signed up but as we took pictures and put them on our computer our months worth of access was gone in a week and we had to pay for each additional GB. We have friends who take pictures with their phones and send them all to the cloud before any editing so they have huge monthly bills. Not having a steady and inexhaustible flow of funds we watch what we spend and save for fuel and food. For many years my method has been to Copy & Paste relevant info to files so I now have many years worth of info for all areas of Mexico I can access directly from our computer without going online - I can do the same with info I find useful on Overlander and keep adding to our files for each area. That way all our info is edited down to our needs and not everything someone has to say. We just have to find the time to keep going through the available info. I do take the info found on this forum and add it in the appropriate files we save.
