    Will any of the Garmins have better GPS than phone?

    One other thing I will say about Garmin GPS in general is that they are very sensitive without being overly so. What I mean by that they are very reliable in receiving a GPS signal from 12,500 miles above the earth, but they don't get confused with bad signals, which in turn would give you a...

    Will any of the Garmins have better GPS than phone?

    This is almost entirely incorrect. Modern GPS use at a minimum 3 GPS satellites to get a Lat/Long fix, called 2D. It needs 4 to get a 3D fix, which gives altitude as well. However, most modern receivers are 12 channel, which means they continuously calculate position based on 12 satellites at...

    Tips for stuck fuel filter?

    If you have to do that, go with this flaring tool. I used it on brake lines I made for my CJ5 I had last year. It works sooooooooo much better than the ones most people use: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ttn-51515 Just make sure you get the correct size as they don't come with adaptors.

    ICECO JP40 external temp test with thermal imagery

    My earlier video will give you some insight to that.

    ICECO JP40 external temp test with thermal imagery

    Yeah. I may revisit this test again on the future and modify the test in a few ways. Fun anyway. I always like tearing stuff like this. Results are what they are. So it’s a good learning process.

    USA - Scenic Byways GPX files needed

    Not down at the phone? You have too much faith my friend haha! The files so far that I have found are part of a much larger database. I'm not trying to sound evasive, but I am not terribly sure you can actually get to them from a general search engine. Additionally, to the best of knowledge...

    Lets talk shovels

    I had some of the same experiences. I was enlisted but tried to act like the officers when it came to interactions, such as, I kept the yelling at people for screwing up at a minimum. Typically, if I had to address a screw up, I would pull them to the side and handle it like two adults and talk...

    USA - Scenic Byways GPX files needed

    Interesting topic. I looked at a couple of the native shapefiles* and it looks like something that I could covert into GPX for dissemination. The only issue is that we would have to trust that these files are accurate, or at least trust the end user is willing to stop if the gpx/gps takes them...

    Printing Avenza TOPO maps

    I use a 24" HP that is no longer in production. Printers are a odd purchase for most owners. They are very, and I mean very, expensive option. Generally, you need to purchase the type that takes more than the standard CMYK inks. Mine, for instance, takes 8. CMYK and a few "photo" colors as well...

    Tips for stuck fuel filter?

    I've had lots of great results with Kroil in the past. Is that mount easy to find a new one? If so, I would cut the mount off and then go to work on the remainder.

    ICECO JP40 external temp test with thermal imagery

    As the owner of a Thermal Imagery Device, I thought this would be a cool little test to see if the JP40 had any funky temperature issues outside of the fridge. Video is about 20 minutes long. In true scientific method, I predicted my hypothesis and was absolutely confused by the end of the...

    Printing Avenza TOPO maps

    I have one customer that runs a guide service that has his maps printed though me. Some maps he buys directly though me. Other maps, he creates though CalTopo and then sends me the pdf link though the purchase option. I then download the map link, print and ship. He typically wants the maps...

    Iceco JP40 or VL45?

    I did when I was comparing. And again for me, like other purchases, it came down to price. The 12% code did not work on the 42. Pitty too as it is the same desert color as my Jeep and that would have been cool! But I also seem to remember that dimensions were a little bigger on the 42 so that...
