Post by: thumbs on October 10, 2011, 08:41:37 am

FOR THOSE THAT USE GPS FOR TRAVELING THIS SHOULD REALLY AMAZE YOU
 
Check The Link Below. I was Shocked to Find my location on Earth so very EASILY!


It uses your IPS address and finds the exact location of any internet user in seconds.


Your location will pop up in a new window in about 10 seconds or so.

One thing about both of them, they will never be wrong.  That's amazing in this day and age.

Makes me think of when I first started hunting,my brother-in-law took me.
We would hunt the old logging roads.
He would say you go that way & I'll go this way the roads meet up on top.
If I get there first I'll make an X if you get there first you rub it out.

JP,

That reminds me of the time Dad and I got lost while we were hunting.  To call for help, he'd fire three shots in the air, wait a few minutes, then do it again.  I remember him looking at me, all serious, and saying, "I hope they find us soon, I'm running out of arrows."

I was a bit hesitant to try it cuz I am so worried about invasive computer stuff but that is one I can definitely live with.
