    Oh, I know......

    No matter where you live, you live there ON PURPOSE, and someone, somewhere, has a problem with that.


    Regarding the panhandler meme, that corner is an Official Panhandler Station.

    I don't watch TV news if I can help it, but one of the stations did a story about a white van dropping these people off, then collecting them back up. The van rotates them around in hot weather, too, so they all get a turn at a shady spot, like Wayne Ave and Keowee Street, or the I-75 off-ramp at Wagner Ford Road.

    Waffle House currently has something like 1200 units.
    They have some in AZ, NM, and CO.

    Well I finally broke down and bought a new GPS... I have been using an RM 740 about 2.5 years. About 8 months ago it started shutting off randomly, andbhas been doing so more frequently as of late.

    Because of the poor things I have been hearing about newer RM products I had already decided that my next one would be a Garmin. The other day in Laramie I noticed that the J had the Garmin Dezl 580 on sale for $249.99 so I pulled the trigger and used all my points to get one. So far in liking it... I was a little worried about the smaller screen, but I can see wverything very easily. Ive started all my addresses into it, but still have alot more to add.

    Do any of y'all have any tips or tricks on using the Dezl 580 (or 780) that you have figured out to make thing easier? You know, the kind of things that took you awhile to discover but once you did you use it that way alot. Thanks Y'all.

    Same in Austin, TX. But rotated to allow equal opportunity at the more lucrative corners. Strong union format.. Seniority, time on corner, etc.

    Have used Garmin products for some time. They have a few things that are not well documented.

    You can easily overload the screen by displaying all the variations of notifications.

    Garmin units all have lifetime map updates.
    Always a good idea to update a new unit. You can also do a backup of your unit. Garmin has an app that you will use for these things.

    I have found that I don’t care for all the overlays, so I have that all turned off. I don’t care that a Wally-World is at the next exit.
