I proposed a idea to Peter about including a Garmin map file on our
site so it can be downloaded into a Garmin device. It would allow the
observer to get turn by turn directions from any where in the country to
the selected site.
I also will be adding way points for the Saddle Mt. map to include
the washes, cattle guard and dirt vs paved roads. I am also creating a
map to 5MM to include forest service numbered roads. This will include a
larger over all map from central Phoenix to the Lake Mary road.
PS I know you are tired of hearing it but I did listen in to a 911
call made from a ham radio in an area without cell coverage. I know that
Paul Lind, Wes Edens, Steve Rodgers and myself are hams. I think that
most of you can pass the test with just a few hours study from a book
that has all the questions and answers, and there is no Morse code. We
simplex to and from sites and we can stay in touch though we are many
miles apart. Newer ham mobile radios include GPS that transmit your
position to a website that displays a icon on a Google map.
