'Goops'

I've been playing around with a cool little application for some time now called 'Goops', a software program which allows one to see themselves in 'real-time' on a laptop PC, or in my case, a portable Tablet PC.

Very cool - as long as one has batteries (I keep spares for the tablet PC), they can see their actual, 'live' position in real-time on Google Earth as they move - played out in full-3D on the PC! Its like a GPS device on steroids... Talk about never getting lost - (within reason, keep the batteries scenario in mind). This has helped me a few times when it comes to trails - especially in locations where there are hundred and one trails going off in every direction - which describes a lot of areas in this neck of the woods.

If you want to see a sample of Goops in action, I'll bring it along to the Bike Club meeting on the third and you can see it in action.
