Hi all,
I have spent the last week and a half with Civil Air Patrol on
the Massachusetts Military Reserve, Camp Edwards specifically. I
was Public Affairs for the activity, and part of what I had to do
was get the parents of all our cadets to the base for our
graduation ceremony Wednesday. I kept trying to use my GPS, v6
trial, to figure out landmarks, addresses, streets, and so on,
but it would not work; it was like the base almost did not exist.
Is there a problem with pois and streets on military bases? If
so, is this fixable by Teleatlas? It was really frustrating to
not have anything to go on; finally I just stood out in the
parking lot, got our coordinates, and left it to people to type
them into Google. Any info would be great, though it is now just
for my curiosity as I am home from the activity. Thanks.
Have a great day,
Alex
