Morning Walk

Me and the little doggie had a nice walk this morning.----

The Garmin wristwatch GPS I was wearing tells me that we went 1.49 miles, that we were gone 49 minutes and 49 seconds, and that considering my speed and the elevation we gained and lost, that I burned 177 calories. It is just a coincidence, I'm sure, but that is a lot of 49's. I guess it must be because I was born in '49.

When we got home I just plugged the Garmin watch GPS into its cradle for recharging, and the computer automatically downloaded all the information from it. Including a new waypoint which I added today, our exact track this morning, and elevation. This information is then presented to you showing you on a map where you went. And also your speed, time, and elevation gain and loss, which is automatically graphed for you at the bottom.

If you wish you can easily import the tracks and waypoints into the Garmin Map Source software just like with any of the GPSs, or you can import them directly into Google Earth.

The waypoint I saved today is named SSHRDx4 because we found four more shards of ancient Indian pottery today. This little wrist watch GPS is so accurate that you can see on the Google Earth map that after I found the first 2 shards I wandered all around in the immediate area. You can also see that this one is in the northeast quadrant, and the north side of the dirt road named Brandywine Road.
