kingbunky 3 #4 May 16, 2007 you're probably one of the luck few whose wife can read a map. mine got confused with streets and trips on the laptop, with the auto-zoom and rotate map options on. it was worth the extra money on the new car to get the built in gps."Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

She can certainly read a map...but she's a pilot...so instead of 'turn right in 3 miles...' I get 'take a heading of 270 in 4 minutes...'If I can get a direction reference from the sun all is good, but if it's night, noon or a cloudy day...I'm Fucked! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scoop 0 #6 May 16, 2007 I've used it on a mapping system called GIS. Very impressive bit of kit, especially when trying to pin point people with mobile phones Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warpedskydiver 0 #7 May 16, 2007 I know what GIS is and when it has enough data densified in the area you're looking at, it is really nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scoop 0 #8 May 16, 2007 Yeah its a brilliant tool. Our personal radios are linked into it so our positions and vehicle positions are monitored which is great if we need assistance but cant talk, The downside is you can't ignore calls as they know where the nearest callsign is from their mapping system Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
