    GearheadsMiataClub.net is coordinating with SWFL Miata Club in Ft. Meyers to form a caravan because half our members are members there too. Still, nothing but crickets from Miami and there's something like 300 Miatas down there.

    I'm still the lone wolf leaving out on Thursday from NC. But I want rest before putting up with all of y'all in Adam's booth on Saturday. And told Randy that I would try to help out when I could with the parking detail.

    Anyone leaving out early PM me.

    Peace!
    ... Rick

    I have a USB socket that plugs into the lighter. It's $2-5. I have a few of them, some have one USB ports, some have 2. I usually plug in my phone to charge whenever I get in the car because I use it to play music, navigation, and comms via bluetooth. I have a clip on phone holder that accommodates a variety of widths, and I locked one of my centerstack eye vents with a screw from behind. Honestly, I use Google Maps 99.9% of the time. It has evolved better into monitoring traffic and suggesting bypasses around them. Waze can be a bit power and data hungry.

    I have one of those USB socket plugs, and I do use google maps a lot on my home computer, I am old school and print out maps of where things are when taking trips, never know when your GPS will not work and on some roads no cell service either.

    The only places I have experienced no GPS service is deep valleys in Western NC and in the SW/West Coast . If you are on a state or interstate highway, you will have GPS. The coverage compared to where it was 10 years ago is night and day.

    Sorry to any I had planned to meet and drive with. Been a hectic week and probably wont be making it down. I got the chance to buy a 240sx I have wanted for ages, and i couldn't pass it up. Again apologies to any and all that I had coordinated with.
