Hack to Get Google Maps Back in Garmin Connect

Someone did an extension for Chrome that changes maps back to Google
while in GC. https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/fbeiifjiimghhaijicmdphhpockpbldc
It works, but not in the Player Mode or in maps that you embed in
other websites.
I'm hoping someone will make one a Firefox extension that replaces
Bing Map with Google Map in any open page on any site.

Disappointed with Garmin Connect update

I wondered why the maps looked browner all of a sudden.  I also hate that the track is red--just like all the other roads around the track.  Most of all I miss the "Terrain View".  See the other Garmin Bing Map Haters comments here.

Go back to Google Maps, Garmin, please!

Black Saturday Fixie Morning


1128101005


Met Baler at 8:20 in order to get to the CCBC tennis courts by 9 for a
fixie off road morning ride. Made it there on time but had to bail
around 9:10 cuz ride organizer wasn't there yet and dudes were still
wrenching and getting dressed anyway. Ahhhh, to be young and put the
"single" in Single Speed.

Me?? I had to be home at 10:15 to make it to church with the family.

Cleaned the triple log on the Santee Branch Nun's Trail on the fixie,
but no one was with me to see it;-( Felt good to fix
around in the woods again.

Highlights...



  • Hikers smoking pot on trolley path

  • Riding thru the park in the dark

  • Top of Bonnie Branch. Me, Baler, and Matt pushing even with each other. No one attacking though. Just when there coulda been an attack for the summit there's a sound from behind. "On your left, on your left" over public address system. Expected it to be a cop, but it was a pickup truck full of twigs.

  • Bevvies and snax
