To me, it seems stupid to deliberately avoid a capability just because it does not work perfectly. In particular, real-time routefinding with turn-by-turn directions wins big in situations such the road I was planning on using is closed or I just missed my turn. It's not always feasible to stop and consult the map. (In Boston, it can be downright suicidal.) And even in situations where I can plan my route, the ability to listen for real-time updates, rather than peering around at street signs (instead of the street ahead of me) makes for safer driving.

When I used to ride Enduros and Turkey Runs (http://www.netra.org), you had a route sheet on your handlebars. It was a turn by turn description of the route with mileage. You'd advance it line by line as you rode. Your odometer needed to be resettable in tenths to recalibrate. Imagine doing that on a motocross track. The enduros also had times for a 24 mph average to be on your minute. You needed a watch or two for that. Eventually they came up with enduro clocks in the 80s to display your minute and milage that could be set forward or back as you lost time. Now you're riding a motocross track, scrolling the chart and doing time arithmetic all at the same time. Some checkpoints calculated to the second as timebreakers so riders would ride 15 seconds hot so they had some cushion. Nowadays, they might also have downloadable GPS routes to put on your bike's GPS. Or not. Sometimes they also collect the routesheets after to keep people from riding after the event. They might only have permission to ride on someone's property on event day. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Many years ago I was in Germany at CEBIT, the worlds largest computer and telephony show. CEBIT is so large, and the town it is in so small, that you typically have to stay many miles away from the show to get any room at all. A friend rented a van with a (then) new feature called GPS, and he even had one that talked. It was a female voice, but probably came from a retired high officer in the German army, because you could tell she was used to being obeyed. And of course the voice was in German, so although I was there and experienced this, I can only really relate what the driver told me was happening One day we were driving along and she told us to turn right. We looked to the right and all that existed was plowed fields...no road at all, not even a dirt one. We continued to drive straight along the road as the voice became more and more exasperated, finally sort of yelling: Biegen Sie rechts ab! BIEGEN SIE RECHTS AB! (Turn right! TURN RIGHT!) We continued along the road until the unit finally gave up, calculated another route and returned to its former quieter, but still firm, instructions. The next time I went to Germany the same unit apparently had been reprogrammed with a calmer, clearer voiceand more complete maps. md ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

As an ex military pilot, I learned how to read a map and find out where I am on the map. In Viet Nam we rarely had any nav aids, and had to find LZs given map coordinates and colored smoke. One of the most important things I was taught by my first flight instructor, David W. Ferry, was to look out of the cockpit. It is your ass in the aircraft, not the air traffic controller. In flight school I was vectored into the ground twice, and in Viet Nam, I was vectored into a mountain on one occasion, and secondly cleared for a left turn directly into the path of another aircraft. I've also had a complete electrical failure on a night flight in New Orleans where the only light I had was my knee pad. My Android phone had a GPS receiver, so when it can receive the GPS signals I get very good location, if not it uses the nearest cell tower. Basically, the issue with any mapping software is that it needs current maps and it needs to be adaptive. I am always amused that my car's GPS tells me correctly to get off of 128 at exit 22, but then tells me to take a left cross over 128, take the second right, then 2 more rights then a left and cross over 128 again rather than simply bear right off the exit. If I tell the GPS to use the short route, it gets it correct. Over time, the mapping software will improve, and GPS systems will also contain other real-time information. -- Jerry Feldman g...@blu.org Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
Re: OpenStreetMap compatible GPS?
As an ex military pilot, I learned how to read a map and find out where I am on the map. As a sailor I was told to learn how to use a sextant. I ordered one, and to my dismay instead of receiving a cover for the cockpit of my boat to give me some privacy for intimate gatherings, it turned out to be some type of stupid navigational instrument. :-) Unfortunately even sextants need technology in the form of a very accurate clock to determine longitude (latitude is easily read once per day), so you can't get away from the technology part. And GPS systems are much easier to use. Still, I agree with learning to read and interpret the map in any case, as well as learning to read aerial photographs if you fly a lot. I don't think that anyone will disagree with that. It is the same thing as learning how to add, subtract, multiply and divide before you start using a calculator. md ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Re: OpenStreetMap compatible GPS?
At college (1995 or so in specific) I noticed a definite correlation between engineering students whom I would actually trust to design something my life depended on (bridges, pacemakers, etc.) and the ability to do math without a fancy calculator. The newer graphing calculators doing all the systems of equations etc. for you just made the divide all the more apparent. Naturally, as a *nix geek, I had only a reg'lar old calculator (TI-35X 4-eva). I'm cutting-edge like that. I still think graphing calculators are dumb.

Maybe I am just blind and its been a LONG day. Regards, Jeff On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 10:17 AM, Ted Roche tedro...@tedroche.com wrote: DrupalCampNH will take place May 22nd at SNHU Manchester. Drupal is GPL licensed software, running a classic LAMP stack. Drupal Camp appears to be a locally-organized event. An admission ticket can be purchased online for $5. See details and register at http://drupalcampnh.org/ Attendance is limited and they're already down to 27 ^H^H 26 -- going fast! -- tickets this morning. From the site: Why DrupalCamp? This first DrupalCamp in NH has been structured to be a training day for new drupalers, and those interested in learning about Drupal. Our goal is to provide valuable information for those users, and help grow the New Hampshire Drupal community by making it more accessible to users with new and varied interest. Structured sessions will provide a start to finish overview of everything you should know when putting together a Drupal site from scratch. Topics include setting up infrastructure, Drupal Basics, CCK (Content types), Views and other important contributed modules, along with theming to round off the training. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/ ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
