Maemo Mapper would be GREAT for the Snowmobiles, just like it is for yachts
cruising the Intercoastal Waterway. Connect it to Virtual Earth
Satellite/road composite, so it will show you the upcoming roads to cross,
and you can see EVERY TREE over your path! With the overhead view of the
entire woodlands, from before the snow covered up all the bogs, wetlands,
etc. that would be a disaster with that expensive machine sinking into the
muck, it will be invaluable! The massive suction cup force mount WILL hold
the tablet FIRMLY to the Snowmobile's little windshield, especially if you
put a tiny bit of veggie oil on it to get a good hydraulic lock to clean
plexiglas. It holds firmly in a runabout boat, too.
Snow.....geez.....Now I'm COLD! I live in coastal SC...It's cold today,
51F at the moment....Brrr.....(c;
BTW, I was born and raised in Moravia, NY on the S end of Owasco Lake.
When I was a kid, it froze over so hard we drove the town's snowplow out on
the lake to clean off a racetrack for the local dragsters.....but no more.
Global Warming - Bad for energy companies and waterfront
millionaires....GREAT for the REST OF US!
Man it's cold in Rochester....oh, oh, is that Rochester NY or MN?? I
forgot about MN....??
