Garmin GPS software update
Garmin recently updated two of its software, the MapSource and nRoute. We considered these two software very important as they complement the GPS receiver that we're using.
MapSource enables a user to view and transfer maps, routes, tracks and waypoints. nRoute allows laptop computer user to use their laptop like a GPS receiver by reading the data transmitted from a Garmin GPS receiver output. Unfortunately for Mac user, these software is still not available on the Mac platform. Currently, we can only run this using an Intel Mac or a wintel PC.

New Year resolution?
A new year a new beginning, it is time to set a new resolution. This year will be different, instead of setting a resolution for ourselves, we would like to urge friends of ours who smoke to consider quitting.
Reason? It is for your own, your family as well as our health, not to mention the strong irritation that the smoke caused while we interact. Please consider our plead and have a great and enjoyable year. :-)
