Long distance riding of course! anyone handy with computers wanna give this stuff a try? Its a program that can entirely replace the operating system on a tomtom and you can load your own maps, track your trips, etc etc.. so what i am proposing is we start a group on here, load this program on a gps and start tracking trails and share info. we have enough folks around to make some really nice maps. http://jrepetto.free.fr/ttmaps/en/ is the website for the program. as im typing this am making a copy of all the stuff on my tomtom on my laptop so if I completely make it fubar, I can copy it all back to stock. anyone else down to play?

U can.. I am about 4 hours into it and still don't have all the required programs installed on my computer to run the generation software.. the best part is all it takes is a cheapo tomtom gps.. all the development stuff is free.. gonna share this with some more folks round here to try and tackle a simple small area first.. say one small park like jericho or whatever.. then start branching out when and if I get some more support.. its called the wheels anywhere project if anyone is interested....
