Subject:Garmin GPS II+ in Vanagon
From:David Marshall (Fast Forward)

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?
