ho ho ho! merry Christmas WD investors! oh, and a big fat stinking lump in your face customers! haha, suckas!
I seem to remember WD was the one manufacturer that actually upped their warranties from 3 years to 5 when Seagate and the others dropped theirs down to 3 years standard.
lol, sad but true it could also just be a way for them to save costs of RMA during this period of hardship saved money is made money
dont ssds only have 2-3 years? and it seems that cheaper drives and low power drives has shorter warranty than the more performance orientations ones, makes sense as they are cheaper! btw after law in norway you have 2 years mandatory rma on all electronics and on mobile phones and cars we have 5 years
Consumer-grade SSDs usually have a 3-year warranty, 50% longer than WD's new, "improved" warranty. When a company shortens the warranty on their products, it means two things to me: their quality control stinks, and the company is too cheap to fix/replace them. The really bad part is that alternative choices for hard drive vendors are getting very thin.
Yeah, it's really annoying to be going backwards with technological progress, isn't it? It looks like the reason MM said below could be at least part of the answer. Given the timiing of this announcement though, I can't help feeling that WD are taking advantage of the impact of the flood, somehow. Oh yeah, don't you get me started on the negative impact that "green" f* policies have on us and the products we buy. :shadedshu Tell you what, it sounds like you know a bit about this, so if you're up for writing an editorial on it, I think that you'd do a fantastic job on it. How times change, huh? :shadedshu There's probably a TPU news article supporting your post, if we look for it.
Well, SOAB. This is why I moved from Seagate to WD after Seagate started gimping their warranty lengths. Really bad stupid time for them to be doing this.
IMO, lowering the warranty on their lower end drives isn't a real big deal. I think the point that a lot of the people that want to rag on WD for doing this are missing is the fact that they are still offering 5 year warranties on their higher end drives. You'd be hard pressed to find another manufacturer that does that consistently. Also, while lowering the warranty on lower end drives does suck, I don't think we should single out WD here, or try to find some malicious reasoning behind it. Seagate dropped their standard warranty on most of their drives to 2 years a few months ago. WD is just following suit. And sadly because there is no real competition in the HDD market anymore, thanks to there only being 2 real players, if one lowers their quality of service the other will do the same.
I thought led-free was a harder alloy? It would be fine to lower the price as well for the "secondary" Blue line.
Yup, agree with everything, NT - especially with the highlighted bit. When competition is weak or not enough players, you inevitably get a form of "cartel"-like behaviour, even if they're not deliberately setting out to play that way.
There are alternatives that function just as well: http://www.ameslab.gov/files/LeadFreeSolder_Foundation.pdf Companies just use it as an excuse to go cheap. If they had factories in less dangerous locations like the USA or Germany where our standards are higher they wouldn't have run into these issues and wouldn't have had such a flood risk. Then there wouldn't have even been a HD shortage. They would have longer lasting drives built to better standards. Modern international corporations just prefer to go cheaper no matter what it ends up costing the consumer in the long run. Lead is dangerous and doesn't really need to be used. RoHS is a good thing in my opinion.
I had a pair of WD3200AAKS's that were about 2.5 years old when they both failed. I bought them in retail boxes, which had a 3 year warranty at the time. Western Digital cut that down to just 1 year not long after I bought the drives. When I tried to make a warranty claim to get them both replaced, WD said the warranty was only 1 year and 3 months. How strange! Good thing I had the boxes still laying around, along with the receipts. By the time I got that information over to them and got a response, the 6 months had passed and I didn't qualify any longer. That's how Western Digital lost my business in the future. Not anything like what they did with my old 120gb. The drive died just a month after the warranty expired, and they offered to replace it anyway. That's what got me to buy them exclusively. I'm going the SSD route when I have any other issues.
I just want to get this straight, you just RMA'd a 2TB drive that you had for 4 years? May I ask where you got the time machine?
It's 2011 and few people want to pay for quality products, hence the market is flooded with low quality, low price and low margin crap that everyone wants. Also, lead-free solder gets tin whiskers easier, it is nothing new.
WD lacks confidence in their products. Fine by me WD, I'll just buy and recommend peeps to alternative HDD brands that don't try to shirk customers from decent after sales service (a shorter warranty period does not inspire consumer confidence in your products). :shadedshu
As I pointed out, good luck. Seagate, the only other player in the game offers a either a 1 year or a 2 year on their cheaper products, and a 3 year on their higher end and maybe a 5 year on a very select few products. WD still at least offers a 5 year standard on all their high end drives.
That is exactly what I think of the mobile network market in the US. If AT&T ends up swallowing T-Mobile USA, AT&T and Verizon would end up the same way WD and Seagate are, with a bunch of other little guys on the side. Sprint would be in deep crap.
There's a load of rubbish being talked in this thread by idiots. They lower the warranty and they can lower prices. That's how simple it is. You don't get anything for free. If they upped the warranty they would up the cost. Everybody is chasing cheaper products which means there's a drive downwards on price, something has to give and it's the warranty. Grow up kids.
Neither company has said anything about reducing prices and the price of hard discs has actually gone way up recently due to the floods... So your argument doesn't hold. No, they're screwing the customer, pure and simple. This is what happens when there isn't enough competition in the marketplace.

The world wants Syria's chemical arsenal destroyed. But so far, no country has offered to do the dirty work on its soil. Over the past week, an alternative has gained ground: Carry out the destruction at sea. The plan taking shape is complicated and untested, but it just might work.
It was 1966, and a ship called the Daniel J. Morrell was making its last run of the season, hauling steel across Lake Huron. The crew was eager to head home for Christmas. But one night, caught in a severe storm, the ship broke apart and sank.
Only a few of the crew members made it to a life raft, and only one of them, watchman Dennis Hale, survived.
"There's our ship!" says Officer Lisa Sacco.
We're standing at the Port of Miami, where Sacco works for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Our ship, the Hansa Kirkenes, left Cartagena, Colombia, about a week earlier carrying all 6,078 of the Planet Money women's T-shirts.

For the past three years, there's been a shortfall in the payroll taxes collected for Social Security. And as more baby boomers join the ranks of the 57 million people already receiving benefits, that deficit is bound to keep growing.
At the same time, the overall share of wages being taxed for Social Security is shrinking as the higher wages that are exempt have soared. The Social Security Board of Trustees predicts a nearly $3 trillion trust fund built up over decades will vanish within 20 years.

Nelson Mandela, who was born in a country that viewed him as a second-class citizen, died Thursday as one of the most respected statesmen in the world. He was 95.
President Jacob Zuma announced the death in a televised speech.
Vice President Biden hasn't announced his 2016 presidential plans. It's far too early for that; we haven't even hit the first anniversary of President Obama's second inaugural, after all.
But as Biden traveled this week to Japan, China and South Korea where he met top leaders, he certainly gave the impression of a man doing a full dress rehearsal for the presidency.
Of course, if Hillary Clinton decides to run for president, rehearsing for the presidency may be as close as Biden gets to the Democratic nomination.

There are many examples of triumphant liberation leaders and successful political leaders, but it's rare to find someone who has managed the transition from one to the other.
George Washington did it in the 18th century. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk of Turkey did it after World War I. And Nelson Mandela also belongs to this exclusive club.
"It is hard enough to find someone courageous enough to lead a revolution, rarer still for them to have remarkable leadership skills," says Jack Goldstone, director of the Center for Global Policy at George Mason University.

When you think of the world's great cuisines, Brazilian food doesn't spring to mind. But that is about to change.
Outside of Brazil,the South American nation is most famous for its BBQ, or churrascarria. But inside the country, a new movement celebrating regional foods is booming. And ahead of the World Cup and the Olympics, Brazilians are hoping the world will get a new taste of Brazil.

Conservation, solar, wind, and hydro are all great but what we need in addition is:
1. A project similar to the Manhattan Project, established by the administration, that develops 100 new, safe, clean nuclear power plants across the US. (much like in France where nuclear provides 80% of their electricity). Now we would have all the electricity we need to heat and light our buildings and homes and power industry. In addition there would be plenty of electricity to charge all the green battery powered cars.
2. Since the US has all the natural gas we need, the feds and the states need to set a policy that in the future all the cars and light trucks they purchase for their fleets are either electric, hybrid, or natural gas powered.
Although GM no longer sells natural gas vehicles in the US, they used to and they still sell them in Europe, so they know how to do it. Some of the rigs they sell that run on compressed natural gas also run on gasoline to keep you from being stranded somewhere, when compressed natural gas is not available.
As soon as the feds and the states start buying fleet quantities of CNG powered rigs the infrastructure for CNG stations would rapidly expand.
This combination of plenty of nuclear generated electricity and CNG would begin weaning us off oil and gasoline. And for those of you who still believe in man caused "Global Warming" I suggest you watch "The Great Global Warming Swindle". Its available on line, on Amazon, and at Netflix.
Doing the above would significantly clean up air pollution in this country, reduce the cost of oil and gasoline, and take us our from under the thumb of the middle east oil producers. And regardless of what the EPA says, Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant!
Carbon Neutral is sooo like the 70's show !
Whenever I see it anymore, it has become soo old hat, over used to apply the BULL !!
In light of the intentional negligence and criminal incompetence of BP and the Obama administration, it is actually becoming the HIGHT of INSULTS !!!
They tells us they MUST tax and over charge us for products to save the environment, then THEY intentionally destroy the environment to tax us even MORE -- CARBON NEUTRAL HAS BECOME A SICK JOKE !!!!!!
Hopefully the people of Maldives don't read the article about the neutrino hunting telescope that is melting ice on purpose! Where are the pictures of the floating polar bear on mini iceburgs for that article? (Did you know that Polar bear can swim?)
About nuclear power, I have to agree with Norman Goldman that if nuclear power were such a great way to generate electricity, big companies ought to be able to pay for it themselves and would be all over it without being encouraged. The fact is, Yucca Mountain is still not approved, and nobody wants the waste in their backyard. ("Clean" nuclear energy is about as clean as "clean" coal technology.) Can anybody tell me what France does with their nuclear waste? I know they don't shoot it into the sun...
I do remember compressed gas tanks for tractors many years ago. They took up more space on the tractors, but seemed to work OK. I had no experience with them. It does seem a waste to see natural gas being burned off at oil drilling sites.
Chevy took their EV-1 off the market, and in fact, never sold it at all, just leased it. It is worth noting that the Nissan Leaf is going to be an affordable vehicle based on the "EV-11" which is supposed to go up to 100 mi on a charge, and with battery technology still evolving, like the Lithium-Air battery project at M.I.T., who knows where this can go? Also, Tesla is going to market a second vehicle, priced more for the public. Their existing vehicle gets some 200 miles per charge.
Regarding Carbon dioxide: whether or not it is a "pollutant", I learned when I was a kid that too much of it was hard to take, when I stuck my head under a blanket. There are more and more people, and deforestation is proceeding rapidly, so the rate of CO2 is going up, up, up. I wonder at what percentage of CO2 some of us would have to start using oxygen tanks?

Higher Education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Subjects
HL 37, Second Report of Session 2012-13: Report
- Author:
- House of Lords - Select Committee on Science and Technology
- Publisher:
- TSO (The Stationery Office)
'Higher Education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Subjects (HL 37)' calls for immediate action to ensure enough young people study STEM subjects at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. Without this the Government risks failing to meet its objectives to drive economic growth through education and hi-tech industries as identified in its Plan for Growth.
A high level of numeracy is of increasing importance to employers, particularly in hi-tech industries. The Committee were shocked to discover that many students starting STEM degrees, even those with A-Level maths qualifications, lack the maths skills required to undertake their studies.
The Committee recommends:
maths should be compulsory for all students after post-16;
universities should toughen-up their maths requirements for entry in STEM courses;
the Government should work with stakeholders to define STEM by producing a statement of competencies and skills;
a single body should be appointed to provide real time data analysis and a commentary of where STEM shortages exist; and
recent higher education reforms should put students at the heart of the system to drive up quality.

Hunter and I were on our way to the gym to film some of the phenomenal booties that frequent the gym when a M.I.L.F walked passed us that broke our necks. She was wearing white yoga pants that accentuated her colossal ass and a white top that her huge tits were popping out of. We admired her perfect figure for a few minutes before proceeding with the hunt. When we caught up with Vanesa, she initially refused to talk to us but eventually we managed soften her up. We mentioned that we were looking for models to star in a commercial that we were filming for the gym and she was all ears. We managed to persuade her go back to Hunter's place for a test shoot. Vanessa was proud of her booty so we filmed her bouncing it all over the living room. After worshipping her magnificent ass, Hunter ferociously bannged her pussy and then busted his jizz all over her ass.

Several serious diseases and infections can be treated or brought under control by the help of used machines but these machines are not cheap. Doctors or surgeons can either buy new machines which are so expensive ultimately the treatment becomes expensive that cannot affordable by poor people. Doctors can lease new machines but again it will not feasible for poor patients and doctors can purchase used medical equipment. EKGs machines can be a good choice for used medical equipment because this machinery has been around for so many years and every machine is manufactured to last for a long period of time. If a hospital or health care is getting close, it would be a waste to throw away this useful medical apparatus. Thus, technicians make all required repairs and this apparatus enter in the market for a second time as used medical equipment for sale.

UpdatePros: As previously stated, plus one more... Works great as earmuff replacements too. (keeps them warm when it's cool out, but not hot when it's warm out) Cons: None.

Excellent budget headphonePros: Cheap. Cons: Sound is on par with cost. Other Thoughts: This is a really comfortable headset for long periods of use. I can game for a few hours and not even notice them. Not as good as my $200 set. But nice for a second machine. Did you find this review helpful? |
Love Hate RelationshipPros: Excellent sound for the price. loves it with my MP3 player and PC. Cons: I have never seen a cheaper or just poorly crafted cords ever. Heck My old Koss cords from the 70's still are intact but sennsi's one little tug and goodbye I will never recommend them again that's for sure Other Thoughts: I was a senns head for years until I had two pair die the same way, I've made my last recommendations Did you find this review helpful? |

Pretty good for the pricePros: They have good audio quality. They are very light, comfortable, and provide good bass. They seem to be designed for the average user, as they can probably take a good amount of abuse. I'm not audiophile but I know these headphones are good for what they cost. Cons: The cord seems too thin. This makes me want to be more careful with them. I'm also thinking about wrapping it with some electrical tape or something to make sure they last longer. Also, the cup material isn't that fake leather but it is some nice fabric. Other Thoughts: They're a good buy, though I think other websites have them for cheaper, but here on the Egg you get the extended warranty, so that's a plus, and will very likely come in handy, since these days people go through headphones so quickly.

- Working with programmed multi-point routes
Using pre-programmed routes with multiple stops is one of the more complex aspects of using a GPS and since this is something I had to figure out how to do on a nuvi 760 during the
Scooter Cannonball 2008
across the United States, I thought I would share my experience in this guide. The original discussion is
and please excuse some repetition from that, and introductory info, as it makes it easier to understand the answers to the routing questions.
A Route with Checkpoints
The race followed a pre-determined route, with checkpoints, meaning that the scooter riders had to prove (via time-stamped photos or track logs) when they had arrived at each checkpoint on each days route, which mostly followed US 50 from San Francisco to Ocean City, MD. Everyone spent each night at the same location, so each day was its own race, counting toward the total. Sort of the Tour de France method, without the drugs [g].
I drove a support truck, so I was not required to follow the exact route, but in many cases chose to do so to provide a sweep function, looking for folks with breakdowns or other problems. I was using a nuvi 760, as was another of the support vehicles. The scooters were using mostly Zumos, but also an assortment of all kinds of GPSes, including nuvis, a StreetPilot, and Garmins Mobile X10.
Using the GMapToGPX plugin/java app
The official routes were created in Google maps and I used the excellent GMap to GPX web-based converter to get them into a format the 760 could read. They required a lot of editing. I used RoadTrip (now BaseCamp), the Mac equivalent of MapSource. This was very important, especially when it comes to answering gpspassions questions about recalculation, because proper placement of shaping points, vias and waypoints has a big influence on the outcome.
Editing the route
You want enough points to force the nuvi to conform to the pre-planned route, but you also want to be careful placing and naming them so you dont get driven crazy by announcements of arriving at GRTP-0071 or by that announcement overriding and masking an important turn. For example, if the next turn is at Main Street, placing a route point too close to that intersection would be bad. Better to insert the point (if one is needed to enforce the route) a mile or so back and label it Main St. Next.
File organization
The first big decision was how to organize the route files. The three choices were as follows. 1) One huge file from SF to MD: bad idea for a number of reasons that should be obvious. 2) One file for each day of the race: this is what most people did, but in my opinion it needlessly raised a lot of the recalc and arrival notice issues explained below. Its main advantages were eliminating the need to push buttons during the day (dont forget, these guys were on scooters), and lack of confusion about which segment of which day was active. 3) One file for each segment, meaning that each files final destination was one of the checkpoints.
Day 6, segment 1, from Garden City to Greensburg, KS.
The plan was to follow the official route to each checkpoint (though I did opt not to in some cases). Above is an example of a segment from Day 6, which in its entirety went from Garden City KS to Fort Scott, KS, a distance of 364 miles. The first segment went from Garden City to a checkpoint in Greensburg, covering 94 miles. Note the two orange flag waypoints which show a dogleg in Dodge City to stay on Rt. 400. There were four segments in all on Day 6.
Heres why I liked this approach: A smaller file imports faster and there was no problem putting the roughly 50 files needed (10 days times 4-5 checkpoints per day) into the 760 all at once from my computer. Then it was easy to delete the days segments each night and import the next days, all on the 760. I left my laptop at home. But I should have used better labeling. Calling them things like Day 8 Segment Two was dumb after 3 days on the road I had no idea what day or segment it was and should have labeled them like this: Cedar City to Bryce Canyon.
Preventing recalc disasters
But the most important advantage was that it created a kind of firewall against bad recalculations. In other words, no matter what the 760 decided to do if I went off-route (or even if it merely thought I did), the final destination for each loaded route was the next checkpoint.
As a safety net I also created a Custom POI file of nothing but checkpoints. That way no matter how badly the nuvi got confused (or I did), I could cancel the route and navigate directly to the next checkpoint using the fastest route pref on my 760. A further safety net was a POI file of all the event motels, meaning I could also navigate directly to them.
The end of segment 1. Segment 2 (next route) starts where 1 ends.
OK, so how did this all work in the real world? Pretty well, but not flawlessly. Its a little hard to tell how much to blame firmware 4.0 and how much is due to quirks of the 760 and its routing engine. It is possible to preview the worst of the recalculation problems using BaseCamp or MapSource (force them to recalc your route before transferring it to the GPS), but those programs use different preferences and avoidances than many Garmin models, so you may only be able to detect gross errors.
When you first import the route, it should be identical to what you mapped on your computer. In most cases it was, but one route file, for reasons I have not been able to discover, would load but not begin routing until/unless I changed a routing pref on the 760, forcing it to recalculate.
Thats the bad news. The good news is that for the most part, recalculations did not ruin the routes, sometimes inserting no changes, sometimes inserting small, insignificant ones. But several times it did cause problems with directions that varied too much from the assigned route.
The difficult part was guessing how to set prefs and avoidances to keep this process under control. Shortest seemed to produce the worst changes; fastest was OK, but bear in mind that we were far enough from major roads that routing to an interstate was often out of the question, so this wasnt a proper test of prefs in that sense.
I ended up un-checking the U-turn avoidance because it made a big difference during recalcs. With it checked, the GPS would often try a wacky route (again we were in the boonies; avoiding U-turns was not a simple question of jogging right three times through a handy subdivision). Leaving it free to call for a U-turn alerted me that I had gone off-route as opposed to the 760 just losing its mind.
What happens if you go off-route?
Does it :
_a. recalculate the whole route and risk make you use different roads ?
_b. take you back to the next "waypoint" ?
It appears to sort of do b. It recalcs the whole route, but picks up where it left off and navigates to the next waypoint or trip point. If this results in a wacky, illogical route (rarely), you can delete the route and re-import it.
I don't know of any way to turn off recalc on the nuvi 760, or I would definitely have done it. The only times I had to "abandon" a route and then re-load it were 1) when the 760 wigged out (perhaps due to FW 4.0) and 2) when I had to backtrack to rescue a broken scooter.
Reloading the route works, but good planning with trip points, vias and shaping points (all ways of forcing the desired route in BaseCamp/MapSource) are also very effective when done in advance.
When you've reached a waypoint, any tolerance?
The 760 appears to treat every possible type of point in your pre-planned route the same way it deals with vias, so it announces arrival at all of them (see above for how this can be both good and bad). The computer software lets you set proximity alerts, but unless its a Custom POI in its own file, the 760 ignores this, unfortunately, so tolerance seems to be the same as for a via, meaning if you are way off it may try to make you backtrack to reach it.
Can you choose to jump to the next waypoint?
No, not unless you manually edit the route to eliminate the waypoint, which I did not try. But it will eventually give up and stop trying to send you back if you drive around one on purpose. Under 4.0 this function was too aggressive in the 760, compared to my 350 or 680, which will gracefully yield to my new route choices a lot more politely [g]. It behaves better under 4.2. This is partly why I created the Custom POI list of checkpoints as explained above.
I hope this is helpful and feel free to ask questions and continue the discussion in this forum topic.

Thanks for the kind words and the info.
On the zumo 660, if you turn off the GPS with a route active, that route remains active when you power up, with (I think) no changes and no options offered. I'm guessing your 765 recalcs the route when you choose Resume?
Also, on those occasions that a route does get munged by a recalc, I have found it is often not enough to Stop and re-activate because the new, recalculated version is what you'll get. Instead, I need to delete the route from active memory (using My Data) and reload it from my stored GPX files on my SD card.
However, that is a rare occurrence, made even more rare by use of the "ask me first" option the zumo offers under recalc preferences. Saying no displays the purple stripe and makes it easy to rejoin the route, at which point the voice directions resume and life is good.
Posted - 12 août 2013 : 16:34:51
Dan this is a great guide. One topic you may choose to add is what happens if you TURN OFF your GPS during the route, for example at an unplanned rest stop, and then power it back on. We see the "RESUME CURRENT ROUTE" option, but in our recent rides we found a problem with this. In both my 765T and friend's Zumo 550 we have found that the results differ between choosing to RESUME, vs STOPping the route and reloading it. Stopping and reloading the route will put us back on the planned route to the next viapoint, while resuming will generally route us in ways we would not expect.
Posted - 23 févr. 2012 : 11:06:00
Thanks Dan. I went for the 2595 because it scored the same features on the "Compare" function list as the Zumo but had the 5" screen that I must have.
It seems to me that one of the big problems here is that you cannot get accurate information from the Garmin advisers. I suspect that what happens is that the 'phone support people answer questions based partly on the info on the Garmin website; thus if that gen is incomplete or wrong (as I have found) you will receive bad advice. I was told yesterday, categorically, that NO Garmin units are compatible with Mapsource, yet you Dan and sussamb have units that do work with it.
Dan, I believe you're right to say the unit uses the "Trip Planner" function to handle journeys uploaded via Basecamp. Certainly that's where you have to look to find the uploaded file in the unit when you come to use it - you go "Apps" -> "Trip Planner" to get to it. You can then scan the list of way/viapoints and compare it with the Route Properties in Basecamp which is useful because you can detect any that have been missed out.
In this latter aspect, scrutiny of the file in Basecamp reveals that on a sample Route comprising 24 waypoints of which only 22 made it into the 2595LMT the missing two points were both located at junctions. When I edited the Route in Basecamp to move each of those two points onto a single stretch of road, then reloaded the data into the 2595LMT, all the 24 points were transferred.
This is at least a potential improvement for me. It still leaves the risk of the device choosing a stupid path to get between one point and the next but I guess avoiding that will be down to careful composition and point placement. I'd still rather have a breadcrumb trail and if Garmin have the technology to do this in the handheld range I don't see why they don't do it in the satnavs; not enough consumer demand, I guess!
Posted - 23 févr. 2012 : 08:45:12
Dan, it was probably the 2495, there isn't a 1495
. In fact the 14xx series (Pedro, I live in UK and have one) accepts 'routes' from both Mapsource and Basecamp, I used to use Mapsource but have now moved to Basecamp. I've heard of the problems with Trip Planner on the later nuvis, which is why I'm hanging on to my 1490 as long as possible
Posted - 23 févr. 2012 : 00:18:40
Welcome to the forum. I'm not up to speed on the 2595, but I suspect it uses the new Trip Planner function instead of routes, and the unit I road tested that used Trip Planner (I think it was a 1495) was a nightmare for the reasons you describe. This is why I bought a zumo 660. It accepts routes from BaseCamp (or MapSource, though that program will no longer be supported) and for the most part does not butcher them when you import them to the GPS.
Posted - 22 févr. 2012 : 23:44:16
I'm looking for a facility that I suspect many others would welcome. I frequently find that the most acceptable route from A to D is not via B and C and is neither the "fastest" nor the "shortest" but is a mixture of A and B roads, short stretches of motorways and a few "yellow" unclassified roads. Just the sort of thing I am accustomed to composing on my desktop In MemoryMap or similar and downloading as a .gpx file into my handheld GPS unit and using on my bicycle. (Well, OK, not motorways on the bike, but you get the idea). The unit displays a rolling OS raster map with my route visible as a highlit line and I simply follow the map, just like the good old days.
I spoke to Garmin and yes, you can do this with a number of our models. I checked some Owner Manuals, downloaded from their website and sure enough, they say: "The device supports the following file types:
JPEG and JPG image files
Maps and GPX waypoint files from
MapSource® ...."
So I buy a nuvi 2595LMT
I can't connect it to Mapsource. A couple of long tedious conversations later, it turns out that the previous adviser and the manual are wrong - you can transfer files (and only Routes not Tracks) only by using Basecamp.
A frustrating couple of hours later I have finally got a small route loaded into the nuvi. Scrutiny reveals that it's taken only some of my user defined waypoints. I try it in the car anyway, twice. The first time the routing goes around in circles; the second time it just stops halfway through the journey.
I know from my experience with handheld Garmins that their "satnav" autorouting is pants but I expected the in-car units to be workable.
Is there anyone out there who has cracked this?
Posted - 06 oct. 2009 : 20:17:35
Glad I could help. As noted earlier in this topic, when converting from other maps, such as Google, this can happen even when the original waypoint has been placed very accurately, just due to map differences.
Posted - 05 oct. 2009 : 02:42:16
Thank you! I experimented again and this time I carefully aimed between exits (not a piece of cake on CA91 where exits are only blocks away) and everything transferred to Nuvi as is.
Thanks again for your advice.
Posted - 04 oct. 2009 : 16:35:39
The only time my 760 did this was if the intermediate point was too close to an on or off-ramp. Zoom way in while looking at your route in MapSource and see if it thinks you are calling for an exit. Also, how are your navigation prefs set in your nuvi?
Posted - 04 oct. 2009 : 06:59:59
Can anyone explain crazy behavior of pre-programmed multipoint route with intermediate points placed on freeways (California)?
I have Nuvi 760, software version 4.8.
Often two-point route that MapSource offers does not sit well with me so I am bending the route placing fictitious intermediate points along the route. After making the route to my taste I transfer it to Nuvi. When I look at the final route recalculated by Nuvi I see ugly loops on freeways around my points.
Points that sit in streets have no problems, points located onto freeway where no street exits are nearby also work as intended. However, for every point having street exit within mile or two Nuvi plans exit to street, some nonsensical street traveling and return back to freeway. I place these points very accurately, say; if I drive on I605 north I place the point as I605-N etc.
Interesting that neglect of those loops around abnormal waypoint does not result in any Recalculating remarks, Nuvi silently agrees with my choice and continues just as if nothing had happened.
Looks as Nuvi considers every freeway waypoint as user error and tries to fix this error by going to the nearest street location.
Has anyone ever observed that erratic behavior of Nuvi 760? If yes, can you advise how to fix this?
Posted - 27 sept. 2009 : 15:13:34
My experience was that most of the time the nuvi would properly send me to the next via or shaping point if I was off-route and it recalculated. I only had to reload once or twice, and that may have been due to flaky firmware behavior as much as routing.
Posted - 27 sept. 2009 : 11:50:23
Yes, in the "off-route" mode it would be "manual" guidance only so not terribly practical but still handy in some situations.
I thought larelr2003 had mentioned this method in the
Routing challenge: Coast to coast on a Vespa
topic but can't see it now. He does say that in case of a recalc after getting off course you can always reload the original route, assuming you're back on it.
Posted - 26 sept. 2009 : 23:18:08
No, I could not find any way to prevent recalc. Instead, I made sure to have enough "forcing" points that the route would not be destroyed when it recalcs.
I did not, however, try the off-road setting. My guess is that it would have caused trouble when I deviated from the route, either on purpose (some of the roads were totally unsuitable for a medium-size truck) or to go back and fetch a broken-down scooter. At that point, I =wanted= recalc to get me back on track.
Posted - 26 sept. 2009 : 23:02:12
I was puzzled about multi-point routes so I came back to the guide ;-) One thing I thought I remembered reading is that you could prevent any recalc by switching to the "off-road" routing, obviously you would lose guidance so you'd need to look at the map to see where to turn, is that something you'd tried on your trip last year?

Ford buys Ferndale-based Livio in move to fine-tune car-to-smartphone connectivityBy Crain's Detroit Business
and wire reports Related links
Jake Sigal, Livio's founder and CEO.
Ferndale-based Livio, a 5-year-old developer of in-vehicle connectivity software, has been acquired by Ford Motor Co., the automaker announced today. The deal was for less than $10 million and will make Livio a wholly owned Ford subsidiary. The automaker plans to retain all 11 full-time employees at Livio, Paul Mascarenas, Ford's chief technical officer, said during a media conference call today. "Livio has solutions which are largely software-based that allow our customers to bring their content into the vehicle through their mobile device," said Mascarenas, who added that Ford and Livio will work toward developing an industry standard for smartphone-to-vehicle communications. Ford CEO Alan Mulally has made in-car technology a pillar of the automaker's vehicles with features including Sync voice commands and MyFord Touch controls. Systems that integrate cars with mobile phones will be used in 21 million vehicles by 2018, from just 1.9 million last year, according to researchers GSMA and SBD. Livio will report to Ford's electrical and electronics systems engineering division. Livio CEO Jake Sigal said joining with Ford will help his company's efforts to promote a single standard for in-vehicle connectivity. Car companies are now using a variety of software, which makes it harder for app developers to get their apps into cars, he said. Livio sells vehicle Internet apps for iPhone and Android phones, a Bluetooth Internet kit for cars and devices that allow drivers to access Internet radio accounts from their cars. In June, Livio launched Livio Keys, a service designed to connect developers and programmers with automakers and suppliers in using standard protocols and services, Sigal told Crain's for a report in the 2013 Music Issue. Sigal called Livio Keys a "one-stop shop for developers looking to enter the automotive market." Last year, Livio announced its first contract with an automaker — General Motors Co. — for software designed to integrate mobile apps into vehicles. Livio, founded in 2008 with a $10,000 loan from Sigal's parents, in 2010 attracted an equity investment of undisclosed size from the $185 million InvestMichigan Growth Capital Fund that Beringea LLC co-manages with Credit Suisse on behalf of the state of Michigan. During the transition, revenue dropped from $2 million in 2011 to $1 million in 2012, according to information submitted to Crain's. Sigal did not disclose financial performance data and did not say whether Livio is profitable today. The deal with Livio marks Ford's first acquisition of a technology company in about 13 years, Mascarenas said. Related Content:

Herald Sun Article
Long article is HERE. I have skipped the parts that are repetition of what we already know :-)
"Once you're becoming the 'hot thing' or whatever, magazines say 'Oh we want to do a feature' and I've just started to say 'No', because as soon as you start putting yourself out there -- especially if you've only really done one American job -- people want to tear you down," he says.
"And I don't want to tempt anybody to want to tear me down."
In trademark self-deprecating fashion, Pattinson can't even cope with praise from his family.
"My parents are always saying 'Oh we're so proud of you' and I'm always like 'Why? It's just luck -- I haven't done anything'," he says.
For Pattinson, who used to sleep on his agent's couch when travelling to LA for auditions, fame does have its benefits.
"It's good for work," he says.
"I've been coming to LA for a few years and when you go to auditions where you know you have done the best audition, but you're not famous enough, you know you're not going to get it, just because of that.
"It's nice when something is commercially viable -- you are on more of a level playing field with other people."
Not so good is being part of the big movie marketing machine, particularly when it comes to studio requests about his trademark hair.
Pattinson, who you get the feeling doesn't like to play by anyone else's rules, nods when asked about rumours the studio demanded he keep his golden-hued quiff out of sight while on the promotional trail.
"And I cut it yesterday," he says.
"It wasn't in the contract, it was just one of those silly things where they said 'Oh people aren't going to like you looking messy', and then as soon as fans start saying 'Oh we like him looking messy', they're like 'You have to look messy all the time'.
"It's annoying. It's all dictated by what they think the fans want, but no one knows what anybody wants."
P ATTINSON says his concerns about being tied to a studio franchise made him consider not signing on for the career-making role, which will likely span three films, with the novel's sequels New Moon and Eclipse.
"I did hesitate, but there were two things that made me go ahead," he says. "I (in character) had to be 17 the whole time so they can't suddenly decide when I'm 28, 'Let's do another one', so the time period was limited.
"Also, I liked what happened to the character in the second one where he's not really in it, but he's this ominous presence and has this dramatic comeback at the end. It's like you wait the whole book for his reappearance.
"I'm barely in the second one and not in the third that much either. Plus I wanted to have a box-set as well."
Gozde: Way to play it down Rob, you are barely in Eclipse? Sure sure....

I love tha he is turning down magazines and such. Although I love new pics of him I understand that he doesnt want the overexposure and it invites people to make judgements. He does so well in Interviews but central pieces can help and hurt sometimes.
I adore how frank he is with his words about the industry. He knows wharf going on, he isn't fooled by the glitter and glam of Hollywood. Makes me happy to know that he understands a lot more at 22 in the industry than his peers. He has quite a career ahead of him. - December 6, 2008 at 12:30 PM
Barely in Eclipse? Dont we get the famous dry humping bed scene in that one?
LoL @ wanting the box set

AJ - that was hilarious! How did you find it?
Ahhhh - felt good to laugh so hard... - December 6, 2008 at 12:35 PM
- bella's mom said...
My favorite part in Eclipse is the tent scene.. they HAVE to do that part, it's essential to the storyline between Edward and Jacob.
- December 6, 2008 at 12:39 PM
- Ellie said...
He's so showing his vulnerable side in this one. And his wisdom at only 22.
Oh, and great lower lip in that pic... I want to nibble on it. - December 6, 2008 at 12:41 PM
- Ellie said...
I'm hoping that the writer (probably Rosenberg?) writes scenes verbatim to the book, for the tent and said dry-humping scenes...And the same moves... gaahhhh!
- December 6, 2008 at 12:43 PM
- bella's mom said...
LOL Ellie, I'll block fangirls while you nibble a while but you have to be willing to trade out! hahahaha
- December 6, 2008 at 12:43 PM
- bella's mom said...
I agree, the camping was where they agreed to disagree as long as it was for Bella's sake. And they finally saw they other's point of view and realized that they both loved her.
- December 6, 2008 at 12:45 PM
- Ellie said...
Mona--Of COURSE, I'll trade out. We girls gotta stick together, where our babe's concerned!

Ellie- Ha ha, I had to check mapquest to see where White Pigeon is :P It's about 3.5 hours from where I am at. - December 6, 2008 at 12:47 PM
- dana_1779 said...
Barely in Eclipse. Pshhh...
They better include the scene where Bella is trying to do the nasty with Edward. Or at the end where Edward wants to do it. - December 6, 2008 at 12:49 PM

Kewl Ellie! We can wear our t-shirts that say..

Dana--Wow, I forgot that Michigan was such a long state. My step sister lives in WI, it's SO cold where you ladies live!!
We're cold here, too, but don't get as much snow as you. You've got the lake effect going for you. - December 6, 2008 at 12:51 PM
- Ellie said...
Dana--I want ALL of those scenes. It's going to have to be a 3 hour movie... :)
- December 6, 2008 at 12:52 PM
Im i the only one who hated the whole camping scene then? In fact the whole book was for me was just - meh!
I only remember the bed scenes because i totally picture Rob in them. My mind has expanded them beyond Meyers little abstinence world into full on gutter material.

Ellie- Yes it's so cold here, especially today. As my husband would say "It's ball-shrinking cold". It's 25F right now and snowing like a mother f*cker. Gonna have to get out the snowblower :[
- December 6, 2008 at 12:53 PM
- dana_1779 said...
Katie- Eclipse was my fav book I think, or BD but I hated the kiss part with Jacob and Bella in the woods, but I understand why SM wrote it.
- December 6, 2008 at 12:55 PM
- bella's mom said...
I dunno Katie, I just liked it because the 2 boys were finally able to talk it out without interuptions and tell each other how they felt about her, it opened up their eyes.
- December 6, 2008 at 12:55 PM
- Ellie said...
Dana--It's about 28 here, no snow, but it's coming tomorrow, probably from you guys . We usually get it after you.
Mona--No one's asked about the "Zip" tote, yet.No Robsessed girls around, I guess. - December 6, 2008 at 12:56 PM
- bella's mom said...
LMAOOOO I can just see you wagging that to school and grinning the whole way!!!
- December 6, 2008 at 12:58 PM
- Amy said...
Oh Rob, 'barely in Eclipse' ???
He needs to re-read the whole series again! lol
I have to say, Eclipse was probably my favorite out of all of them! - December 6, 2008 at 12:59 PM
- Ellie said...
I feel the way you do, Mona. The two guys finally understood where the other was coming from; a real heart to, well, you know...(being it's Edward). and dana, I wasn't too keen on the Jacob and Bella thing, either. I hated him for tricking her like that. Such an ass. but it's Jacob. I guess SM wanted to show how desperate he was.
Okay, I do know it's not real...LOL - December 6, 2008 at 1:01 PM
- Amy said...
yeah book 3 and 4 were my favs. I couldn't wait to finish New Moon and get to the end of it. Everyone kept telling me 'just keep reading it get's better and better', lol so I suffered through the prolonging Jacob parts!
- December 6, 2008 at 1:01 PM
- Betsy said...
Good afternoon girls!
Love the Rob overload again - love when he does these promos as we get to see the gorgeous photos and videos of him! - December 6, 2008 at 1:02 PM

Wooo Hoooo girl represent the Robkats!!!
- December 6, 2008 at 1:05 PM
Must be just me about Eclipse then. Jacob and Bella annoy me throughout it. I do see why the camping scene was pretty important for getting all the feelings out there and stuff.

Mona__We need a new shirt, with silk-screened suspenders and tiny holes in it.
- December 6, 2008 at 1:10 PM
- bella's mom said...
Katie just think of it like, fate was keeping Jacob close, NOT close enough to imprint on Bella but close enough for Resesme. You had to see the lengths he would go to be with someone and how devoted he could be in order to accept the imprint thing.
- December 6, 2008 at 1:11 PM

Dani I agree with your comment (no surprise there) above. You're so right on all the time.

EEEPS!!! Forgive the missprint... *Renesme*
- December 6, 2008 at 1:13 PM

I liked Jacob, but I never see him as a Taylor type of guy, but a super cool huge warm compelling guy....a warm Viggo. Viggo is cool, Jacob is warm....
- December 6, 2008 at 1:13 PM
- Ellie said...
Kaite--I felt that way about New Moon, at first. The first time I read it, I just skimmed through until each time Edward's name came up.
The second time, I really got into it more, knowing that it really explained Bella's need for Edward and what her mind was doing to cope with the loss. - December 6, 2008 at 1:14 PM
- bella's mom said...
I dunno.. I love me some Viggo but as Jacob?
- December 6, 2008 at 1:15 PM

Okay, Mona, go back to BD, girl: Renesmee! LOL
- December 6, 2008 at 1:15 PM

Ellie, I guess I loved new Moon because B&E's relationship had to go thru separation...they had to earn that love....

Ellie- I forgot to mention I love your new avatar. Now Rob is staring at me everytime you post :)

Hi Mona, no Viggo couldnt play Jacob, no way, but, someone that great...as a counterpart to Edward....
- December 6, 2008 at 1:17 PM
- Li said...
Is all Im sayin'...that Jacob is a force too...represents something so important...
- December 6, 2008 at 1:18 PM
- Ellie said...
Dana--thanks, babe; you know I did that just for you!
Li--I agree with you. Separation really makes you realize just what or who you can or can't live without. I love New Moon for that. - December 6, 2008 at 1:19 PM
- bella's mom said...
Oh ok I get what you are saying Li.
Someone who can match Rob's charisma on screen. - December 6, 2008 at 1:22 PM

Yeah....I really appreciated she took the book there.
- December 6, 2008 at 1:22 PM
- Li said...
YES!!! Exactly!!!1 Matches Rob!!! That may be impossible, but you know, someone great could be out there...
- December 6, 2008 at 1:23 PM
- bella's mom said...
I understand what you are saying but I have to give Taylor respect. He did a good job. Better than alot of us were expecting.
- December 6, 2008 at 1:30 PM
- estrellas! said...
I haven't been able to read New Moon for the second time. It's too hard for me (and I hate SM for it).. and BD sucks sooo bad. I just have to think about Demon Child to start rocking myself in a corner. Gaaah!
- December 6, 2008 at 1:30 PM
- Amy said...
I agree with you Li, the books wouldn't be the same without Jacob of course. He is the 'other man' which makes for a good love triangle & a good story.
Funny story, I had a friend text me the other day (she is on book 3 right now) and she sent this message "Are they going to get it on sometime soon? I can't take it anymore!" and the message was all in CAPS and then she called me a few minutes later talking about how addictive it is and can't put it down and yada yada the usual series reaction...lol. I didn't spoil it for her either and just said 'Keep reading' haha like everyone has said to me. - December 6, 2008 at 1:32 PM
- bella's mom said...
LOL Amy the torturer!!!!!
- December 6, 2008 at 1:34 PM
- Li said...
That's funny Amy, my friend who is in the first book said she cant take it if they don't have sex till book 4.
Mona, agreed, Taylor is a terrific kid, but, guess I am guilty of being too idealized about this aspect of the books.
I'll watch whatever they do, even with Taylor, cuz turnin the books into movies is fun stuff.
Vampires and Wolves have a great mythic rivalry...and the survival of the entire human race hangs on the balance of these two powers ...kidding. - December 6, 2008 at 1:41 PM

"and the survival of the entire human race hangs on the balance of these two powers ..."
LMAO, Li!! - December 6, 2008 at 1:58 PM
- Kate said...
LOL @ Li!
Everyone knows how much I disliked NM,I think I told ye enough of times LOL but I'm looking forward to reading it again. I really liked Eclipse and I'm still reading BD. I'm not gettting through it as quickly as the others, I haven't actually picked it up the last few days (which is not a good sign with me) must get back into again.
And ya I was thinking the same thing when Rob said he wasn't in Eclipse that much. Um, ya you are!!
Also I too loved the tent scene, I thought Jacob was so funny in it, I actually LOL at parts of that! - December 6, 2008 at 2:27 PM
- Li said...
There's so much going on in this blog, go to another thread, and the comments are raging there and never get to finish a conversation here! Leave it Dani and Goz to have a hopping hot spot. *scratches head.* I must have blacked out the tent scene...uh oh, am I gonna go back and read something that changes my mind about the whole series??? I cant remember the tent scene!

Stars of Charlotte's wrestling past are back in town this weekend. They have names like Tully Blanchard, Magnam TA, The Russian Bear Ivan Koloff. And then there's Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson, better known as The Rock N Roll Express, and their arch rival, Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express. They're here as well.
From late 50s through the 80s, Charlotte was huge in the world of professional wrestling when the sport was dominated by Charlotte's Jim Crockett Promotions. That era will be celebrated at the Mid-Atlantic Legends Fanfest at the University Hilton. You may remember Jim Cornette as the loud-mouthed, tennis racket-toting manager of the Midnight Express. He joined us to talk about wrestling in Charlotte.

Apparently This Matters: Chicks dig skinny guys
Televangelist Pat Robertson challenged the idea that Earth is 6,000 years old this week, saying the man who many credit with conceiving the idea, former Archbishop of Ireland James Ussher, "wasn't inspired by the Lord when he said that it all took 6,000 years." The statement was in response to a question Robertson fielded Tuesday from a viewer on his Christian Broadcasting Network show "The 700 Club." In a submitted question, the viewer wrote that one of her biggest fears was that her children and husband would not go to heaven "because they question why the Bible could not explain the existence of dinosaurs."

Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- Authorities say a bomb threat to the Dougherty County Courthouse Friday was a false alarm.
Albany Police Department Spokesperson Phyllis Banks said Monday a bomb threat was received by a 911 dispatcher at approximately 10:56 p.m. Friday.
Police reports indicated the caller was a female and told the dispatcher that the building should be evacuated.
Banks said APD investigators thoroughly searched the courthouse building and the area around Pine Avenue but did not locate an explosive device.
Authorities said Monday that Bubi, APD's bomb dog, was used during the search but did not pick-up any odors that of a possible bomb or bomb-making materials.
APD is still investigating the incident and are trying to positively trace the phone number that called in the bomb threat.

Walk THAT Way
Writing a book has forced me into more stillness than I'd like, so I'm taking a temporary break from blogging (as you can see, HAHA). I've also been walking more. More walking and more writing mean, you guessed it, I'm doing less laundry. My house is a total disaster. But the good news is, I feel great, despite my work…read more →

A couple of ppl were searching patents sent in by Nintendo and stumbled across this:
This is all speculation, but just some info I fell upon...
the link is found here:
the plug-in to view the images is here:
If this turns out to be real then this is a big blow for Nintendo!
hm. well, it doesn't look like it reveals the 'revolutionary' aspect of the controller. and besides, that's not even what the controller will look like, just a diagram of how this microphone/speaker/video/whatever 'expansion' would work.

As long as Sony or Microsoft don't go stealing any of their ideas.
True or not I'm just too damn excited. What if it really is something we all know about to begin with but how they use it is just fo frickin awesome!? Its pure can of kickass. It just takes Reggie to get it out to those boneheaded casuals. I'm just bursting with joy right now.
Its from Nyko technologies you goof!
The assignee is not Nintendo but Nyko.
Nyko Technologies is a manufacturer and retailer of accessories for all consoles. Basically, this is just a 3rd party controller.
I heard there was a patent by them for a glove controller too.
is thsi anything important?#

Run of the mill
By TimmyH (256 reviews) from Burnham-on-Crouch , 20 May 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
There's a cop killer out on the streets of London and he's a fruit cake and its up to Brant (Statham) (No holds barred copper) and Nash (Considine) (By the book gay copper) to find him, whilst a journalist (Morrissey) tries to get vital information on the killer from another source. Statham plays his usual macho role with the occasional good one liner thrown in but obviously obtains his acting skills from Phil Mitchell. Quite gritty but script is rather poor with some side distractions which have nothing to do with the killer and just a 'filler'.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Wardinho (4 reviews) , 08 Jan 2013What's not to like?! Humour, gore, action and a reasonable script. Statham is on top form doing what he does best. After a couple of mediorce efforts from him it's nice to see him back in the kind of role that has made him our favourite tough guy. Forget the Expendables clap trap, stick with this home grown bit of gory fun!- Was this review helpful to you?

By mad4films (155 reviews) from Benfleet , 04 Jan 2013Rather disappointing to be honest, low budget film, very predictable with some supporting wooden actors. Not sure why JS did this film as he is made of better stuff but I guess its another to add to the list!- Was this review helpful to you?

The Loving Stitches Ministry of Our Lady of the Angles Catholic Community has been keeping their fingers busy.
The ladies meet once a week to make quilts, blankets, baby sweater sets, scarves, hats and prayer shawls, among other items for organizations such as the Healthy Start Coalition, Manatee Memorial Hospital's nursery, hospice, local cancer treatment centers, among others.
The group recently presented Corky Arkovic, assistant coordinator for the Linus Project, with blankets for children who are victims of domestic violence or have a life-threatening illness or other needs for a security blanket.
