You gotta love puters.......... I'm Just Saying

#1 Post by orphanlr »

Forgot to post this the other day and found it this morning.

Lately working my assigned CF-31 till it seizes, with some new CAD P1 software THEY JUST ROLLED OUT, when I see an active call close to my location, I'm talking A BLOCK AWAY, so I hit the "GET DIRECTIONS" button. just to see how accurate it is

Well, from the picture I took of the screen, Please look at what it returned as a route, and then the readout on the left side showing the time to arrive and the miles travelled. red pin to blue pin

YUP, that's arrival in .01 minutes, and a distance of 150.95 miles for a destination a block away. :wtf:

Sorry rob, feel free to size it down.

I wonder how the "fire, police, safety" software GPS programs compare to the discontinued Garmin mobile PC that I use?
I would love to get a version and try it on my cf30. Google here I come....Someone has to have an old version on the net....
Anyone recommend some package names for me to search for?

That software must be made for cab drivers, to help get extra from their fares LOL
