There is that GPS reciever... the black cloth is not spread out properly on the dash...

We are riding along with you.....keep it coming...

Don't miss any road signs that will keep you from arriving on time at your reserved campground site for the night.:)

What model is that GPS that is interfacing with the Laptop??

Good morning Ken and the wonderful Mrs B Happy Holidays!

We stopped at DeLorme in Freeport, Maine on the way back to the States after our wonderful visit with you on the east coast of Nova Scotia. Does our parking spot have snow covering it?

While at DeLorme I bought Street Atlas 10 Plus...with the LT-40 reciever/antenna... the plus telephone number feature is darn near useless now, about everyone we know has cell phones and most have dumped their land lines.... then we don't have access to their addresses either.

Technology moves on as you know (after all, you have laid transatlantic communication cables from ships and operated huge Satellite communications systems dishes)

While on this trip I found that my iPhone5 has a very good mapping syatem... with GPS, and I can talk to Siri instead of typing when searching. I do miss the bigger screen of the Laptop... and Janet as navigator likes the Street Atlas 10 (I have a new Win 8.1 Laptop... but haven't used it for travel) I have a feeling that a apple iPad tablet is in our future.

I can ask Siri for the closest restuarant by name or type... she checks my gps, direction, and gives me the info. (Yes, I know... she is a robotic voice... but she thinks we are dating;>)
