today with trekker

[rdfreak]

Well, I was just amazed today, blown away by everything trekker! I am so glad I got it! I knew it would change my life, and I am definitely not thinking any differently.
I had me about seven satellites walking to station this morning. and sometimes it would tell me the intersections kinda pretty far away from them, but mostly I found it was accurate enough that I was pretty much about to step on the curb.
walking along, hearing all the names of the streets was just awesomige! :)
and I did mark blackburn station as a POI.
and I found, once I got on the platform, I had eleven satellites. Wasn't sure why I had so many then.
I switched it on to motorized mode (for the first time in its life) when I got on the train, and it told me all the streets I was passing. I still have nine or so satellites!
anyway, all was similar for the rest of me journey.
When I got to southyarra and was walking from station to work, it was overloaded with POIs; half I didn't even know were there!
At lunch time I marked Southyarra station cos that wasn't even on the maps obviously.
It was definitely "show and tell" today, as I showed D and RB the PDA and Royaltech, as well as D the olympus, finally! Lol
anyway on my way home, even though I asked the bus driver, I knew where my stop was with trekker. It made me laugh because it announced my home as we of course whizzed past it! Lol It's just soo cool; I can't get over it!
In other news, I am forever amazed at the people who I'm finding on facebook; and the ones finding me! It's like school all over again!
am off to parents tomorrow for Ang' b/day; Nan as well I think.
I'll walk from Mitcham station tomorrow I think, so I can hear what trekker tells me!
I'm kinda tiredish now; early to bed tonight I think.
Oh Neighbours is dramatic. Poor Susan (my favourite character) accidently hit Deej, so will she cop it even harder than she already has, if Deej dies! not susan!
til next time, RdFreak

scuse my ignorance, but what's a poi?

and omg about susan! she almost had me in tears when she told carl/etc that she hit her. I haven't been able to watch the last few nights, i really hope she doesn't go to jail (as that'll mean they're getting rid of her as a character I guess?)

no ignorance at all; it's fine. A POI stands for "point of interest" like a station or a restaurant, or something like that. and as I say not all of them are marked on the Aus maps, so we are fortunately able to mark them ourselves.
and man, if they get rid of Susan, I'm never watching neighbours again! Lol .. but they would probably show sceens of her in jail, as they had with past characters who were in there for a time, like poor old Skye.
Hope to catch up sometime; it's been a while! :)
Cheers!
