No I sure didn't bud, but I find it hard to try to show support when they won't take the time to reply to any emails or posts sent by the folks who could be supporters of the park. I'll show support when they show me something worth supporting ;)

Louisiana Off-Road Park We are still in the finance stage, it takes quite a chunk of money to bankroll over 800 acres. Stay tuned for more developments.

I got it too and I agree Larry!

guess they need to sell a LOT of T,s to get T notes:)
 
There were a few links in the page where you order the shirts. One of them is to facebook. It seems that they have started responding again to posts on there, not that they have given up a bunch of info other than it's supposed to be somewhere on Greenwell Springs Rd in BR.
 
those where all the same thoughts i had, im not going to buy a shirt then have someone stop me and say "hey whats that about?" and i cant give them any info cause it doesnt really exist.
 
Anyone using microsoft streets and trips? Or have other reconditions for a system to be used with a laptop? For travel in the US ?

I have a program on my netbook, I think by delorm.

Yes it is the DeLORME Street Atlas 2010. Cost me I tink 60 dollars, came with a usb GPS dongle with a cord that can sit on the dash.

The good: It can do some very neat things, trip logging, you can look back see what speed you where doing, what time you where at a certain point. Voice comands. on paper it should rock. But I cant stand it.

I have had the windshild mounted GPS units for years. Trying to navigate and enter stuff on the laptop sucks while driving. touch screen is easy, typing and using a mouse is not. I have had it for 6 months and i still dont know how to propperly use the search function on it. Like if you search for Walmart it comes up with Walmart IL. Search for wal-mart and it shows shopping centers way the hell up in the northern states.

A big part of the problem is everything is menu driven rather than icon driven.

So as not to sound like a complete idiot I have been working on it for the last 20 min or so trying to figure out the search better:
you have three different search options: Quick search, POI, and advanced.


First off you have quick search: seems mostly effective for town names aparently. I have the map centered on jennings right now, searched for walmart, and it is giving me results in Oklahoma.

but if you quick search jennings, then go one tab down to Points of intrest and search walmart THEN it will show you the local walmart (you can actually set it to search a set radius from the center of the map, anything from 1 mile to 100 miles)

Advanced is used for finding street adresses and navigating to them.

I think the problem is that it just does too much, if I could sit down and figure it out I would probably love it if not for the lack of touch screen, but it is way to easy to just unbox a garmin and have it be 100% intuitive. Voice commands are useless in the cummins though. Absolutely useless.

All in all best advice I can give is to just get a decent garmin.

I traveled up and down the East/West coasts when I was with MCI building the infrastructure for their optical network. I had a delorme GPS centered on my dash run to my laptop mounted over the center console and it worked out great. It synced with streets and trips. We still use that software here at the office and in conjuntion with Google Earth. This is probably the modern version of what I used. I'd go with the USB version

Marty reporting Usama Bin Laden is dead :cheers: props to all our service men and women who's been fighting terrorism around the globe. I'm sure there will be a wave of retaliation to deal with but certainly a blow to those that try to terrorize our freedoms and to those that try you will pay the cost :cheers:

At least he had good taste in vehicles :D

"Neighbors said large Landcruisers and other expensive cars were seen driving into the compound, but they had no indication that foreigners were living inside. Salman Riaz, a film actor, said that five months ago he and a crew tried to do some filming next to the house, but were told to stop by two men who came out."

I think that is awesome, I would love an air bagged street cruiser to slam and through some sparks with. Its not like they just put the body on a GM frame that has all kind of after market bolt on kits. Someone built their dream ride with almost all Toyota parts, but I hear you Larry would be nice to flex a tire across low riders truck bed in traffic one day.:eek:
