Volks, Bought a new toy over the weekend - a Garmin GPS II+ pretty neat! Now I know how fast I really am going with my oversized tires. Guess what - with 225/60-16" tires installed my speedometer is still reading high by about 2 to 3% - seems a little lower when it is cold (-5C) and a little higher at warmer temps (+20C)... Anyhow, somewhere I remember reading that there is a software program that you can load on your lap top that enables you to make maps. I remember reading that you can scan in a map, define (exactly) three points on the map and the computer will then know exactly where you are at (with the aid of the GPS). Does this sound familiar? Where can I get it? What other cool things can I do with a mobile GPS?
