I have found Windows 10 built-in maps pretty much useless. Not completely useless, but compared to my iPhone or Android, both of which have a GPS chip and can import way-points or favorites, Windows is very lacking. I have paid for and tried maps from the Microsoft store, but they didn't work...

Like the idea, but always wondered; how do people on the water know where to get food, water and supplies? Is there a marine GPS or maps - charts that tell you this? Or do just put the boat back on the trailer and go to Walmart? If not are you stuck going to expensive marina?

awner81, I'm rated 100 percent disabled, I say that because only you understand your disabilities completely. That's the way it is for me, and suspect as much you may try to explain what you have going on, no one can completely understand. So this is just an idea, because I don't pretend to...

I get it, I've been to 48 states and Canada but didn't see anything until I stop driving trucks. Saw one guy that manage to keep a small motorcycle behind the sleeper, added a couple hundred pounds to the drive wheels I'm sure. Temps where paid by the hour, the company I knew about used all...

wcurtin1962, I think that a tough one. Most companies want a CDL, DOT Physical and so on from the state you operate in, though I wouldn't say impossible. That makes it difficult if you travel. Sadly the National CDL that was rumored decades ago never came through. There are temp companies for...

pour-over system works great. you can google "pour over coffee" works with store bought ground coffee, or grind the beans yourself with a manual coffee bean grinder. if you're grinding beans yourself you do a "French Press",,, the best cup of coffee I've ever had, my opinion of course. yes, I'm...

Thank you Spaceman Spiff - very useful insight, especially on the inReach. I'm with you, I couldn't care less about Facebook, Twitter or any of the others in that type of apps. I'll be taking a harder look at the inReach. Someone tell me if I'm wrong: HAM Radio I don't do and don't want to be...

Just reviewed today on gear junkie. The SPOT X 2-Way Satellite Messenger Send and receive text messages without a cellphone or cell coverage starting at $20.00 a month,,, just 25 messages a month. But unlimited messages for $30.00. Interestingly you are assigned a cell phone number so people...

Wow - had no idea FTA had radio. I've checked with Dish Network and I don't see any music,,, unless I'm missing something. I agree with you on the motorize dish to move it across the sky for more channels,,, I think that's the only way to go. Thanks again

Thanks, JD GUMBEE That really answers the question. Many of the locations I've been and plan for in the future don't have any reception, nothing. No TV, no radio, no internet, but out of all of those; cell is available in some locations, but not all. I'd be willing to keep paying for Dish...

Is anyone trying this satellite TV?  http://ftalist.com/ FTL List stands for Free to Air Television List. But I asked because it doesn't seem worth it. First the dish, that you buy, is about twice the size of a Direct or Dish Network dish. And two, it doesn't seem like there is anything (or...

Thanks JD GUMBEE - I knew about this from years ago during the dial-up days,,, back when 14.4 mbps was as fast as it gets, but I had completely forgotten. Thanks for the refresher.

Yup, I get it. My wife doesn't watch videos on the company lap top. For that she has an iPhone and iPad. We'll be checking to see if Apple O/S was doing any updates on her lap top during the connection to the JetPack. For those interested, I saw that you can turn that off much like a metered...

:huh:  I too would like to know of a better solution if anyone knows of one. My wife used just over 13 GB of data on a Verizon JetPack for work (lap top) this past week,,, cost $160.00 on the pay as you go plan, we won't need again for 3 or 4 months. trish420, the JetPack works but it is very...

HDHomeRun - I ran accost this in Best Buy the other day, but according to their website it's also available at Amazon and Walmart among others. I found it interesting and so I email their support. I got the answer I suspected fast, in less then a day. In short, it will work over a network...

I've always been curious about living on the water. How do you know and plan where you can come ashore to get supplies? :huh:  Are there GPS navigation systems for coming ashore near a Walmart? Obviously this isn't like pulling into the Walmart parking lot in a van and picking up a week or two...

I still have hope, and the comments express here reinforce that hope. Hopefully we haven't gotten off too far topic vanman2300 and your able to gain some insight by reading between some of the lines. I am incredibly fortunate in my wreck, they found me unconscious and woke a week later in the...

Motruckdriver brings up all the points and is spot on. Don't forget about log books and insurance. Have you considered a shipping container? A shipping container is just a box, doesn't even have to be registered, inspected or insured,,, and they are much stronger then a trailer. Then all the...

Hey - CatCaretaker, just few ideas come to mind. There are "Gate Guards" that are needed at oil rigs and cattle farms, some are posted in these forms. There might be other jobs that simply want someone on their property in remote locations. What about house or boat sitting? With or without...

Hey Goshawk; there might some that "game" the system," however I can assure you first hand there are "controls" in place. My application for disability was more then 100 pages. They check your work and medical history. You give up every ounce of privacy with regard to your health and medical...
