Quoted message said:The number of GPS threads on uk.rec.walking has increased to the point
where some have complained.How about a new newsgroup uk.rec.gps? To cover all recreational uses of
GPS, walking, sailing, car navigation, geocaching.Checking google groups, I find that in uk.* newsgroups there have been 930
threads mentioning GPS this year, so it would be a medium traffic group
from the start.I have crossposted to those UK groups where I have found a number of
threads mentioning GPS
uk.rec.walking, uk.rec.climbing, uk.rec.sailing, uk.sci.astronomy
uk.telecom.mobile, uk.rec.fishing.sea, uk.rec.cycling, uk.rec.audio.car
uk.rec.cars.modifications, uk.rec.cars.maintenance, uk.telecom.mobile
uk.rec.waterways, uk.rec.scuba, uk.rec.motorcaravans, uk.rec.caravanning
in four groups because news.individual.net only allows a small number of
crossposts.<follow up set to uk.rec.walking>
which has the greatest number of GPS posts
sounds like a good idea - we have started using it for car navigation
(motorhome), although our use will be as much on the continent as in uk,
so a euro flavour might be useful? The recent garmin offering has a
credit card size 2Gb HD (!) and contains detail road maps of UK, and
most of the continent too........
