It is with great saddness that today I discovered my trusty eMap is no more This little gadget has been everywhere with me in the last 6 years ... from the Sieras in California, to the deserts of Arizona, high plains of Utah, the top of the Rockies in Colorado, under sea level in New Orleans, close to the arctic in Alaska, plowing through the buggs in Nebraska, up and down the West Coast, up and down the north east states, the heart of the capital in DC, the top of the Empire State Building, all around the Midwest in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota ... and even into the hearts of the European cultural centers in Rome and Paris ...
Unfortunately when I saw it working last, it was floating in 6" of water ... in all the 110F+ sun, wind, dust, dirt, sub zero temperatures and the abuse throughout the years, this thing had NEVER missed a beat. It was always there to tell me where I was and where I was going.
But I think it's time to say goodbye ... may the saved way points and tracks, along with all the amazing moments we shared, stay burned in the compact flash of my eMap for eternity. It will surely be missed!
On a better note, I've got a much better one on order that is waterproof this time. It will not be an eMap but life must go on.
