Marietta Madness - Saturday, September 17

Tuesday, September 20 - GPS Party
I have had several Miata peeps ask about how I create and share my GPS routes. There seems to be a lot of questions regarding GPS nav with phones in areas without cell service, what app to use, how to create the route and get the route on their phone. A lot of confusion, basically.
So, I’ll host a session to share how I create my own complicated routes and nav with my phone. It won’t be an overly techie session about GPS overall. I’ll just share how I do it.
My method solves the below issues that I’ve had during many years driving, riding, backpacking, sailing:
1) I want to follow MY route; not one recalculated for me. If I deviate from my route, recalc to get me back on MY route - do NOT recalc a brand new route.
2) I was tired of having to import, export, convert files between PC’s and devices. I was tired of overly complicated PC mapping software and GPS Nav devices (Garmins) that still didn’t behave per 1) above.
3) Phone nav software like Google maps work great for quick, automatic routing around town & on freeways. But they have problem 1) and die when out of cell service.
4) So, what routing software and phone nav app solves 1) & 2) & 3) above?
5) How can I create an event and share the event routes with club members? Without complicated import, export etc - see problem 2.
Contact us if you have any questions or if you plan to attend.

West Virginia Overnight - October 12 through October 15
This is an overnight trip to Lewisburg, West Virginia from Wednesday, October 12 through Saturday, October 15. I have several motorcycle routes already in my GPS that leave and return to Lewisburg for our Thursday and Friday drives through the hills of West Virginia. The area is beautiful with epic Miata roads. We will drive down together on Wednesday on both four-lane roads and backroads. You’re on your own for Saturday and the weekend. I’ll share all of the routes if you want to try some more.
The hotel is a boutique, 24-room, historic Inn with ‘charm’. It is located next to the Osteopathic Medical College, and the area has that small, college town feel. The area is safe for the Porsche / Range Rover residents. They still have 15 of their 24 rooms available. Rates are $157 to $300. There are several nice restaurants within a short walk.
This trip combines a historic Inn and great restaurants in a quaint small town with epic Miata roads. All experienced with your very own club members. It sounds like a memorable few days to me. Let me know if you have booked a room so we can make more detailed plans together.
Club members who need to get back to town more quickly are free to head home on Friday. Just make your reservations accordingly.
Contact us to RSVP or to ask any questions.
