Thats why i just want to see my start and end points. I have been mis lead a few times vie the "get directions" features. I can read a map well enough to find my way, if i know were i'm going. Now, surveying with GPS, great idea, but i still don't trust it. Besides it eliminates the three man survey crew and its now a one man crew. See why i'm a bus driver now.:-) Dave > > My experience is about 25% of men can learn to read a map well enough to > navigate by it. > > Same for women, but it takes them longer to get beyond the "I'll never be > able to do this" stage. > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and > follow the directions. > -- Documenting Life in Rural Ontario. www.caughtinmotion.com http://brooksinthecountry.blogspot.com/ York Region, Ontario, Canada -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
