This KMZ should work...

Junior track in green, senior in red.

Awesome, ta.

Looks like a couple of spots the GPS got a bit lost - possibly under heavy tree cover. And/or you took a detour.

If I forget to put it into the secret logging mode (store 1 point every second) it tries to "correct" the saved track to conform to where it thinks it should be.

The Nuvi 500 has the high sensitivity chip so the Quest would have just shown blank sections anywhere near trees.

I'm impressed at the coverage it does get.

Hey Ryan.
Overlay this KMZ with the one of yours from the weekend.
Goes over Palmer Rd rather than Glenrae.

Sweet. Added to the collection of ideas.

Geez I hope he brings home some pics

I am baa-aack and fcukin knackered.

After me and bro in law got driven through Bangkok dressed in drag, hoping like hell the van didn't break down, and getting some strange looks from the locals we realised when we turned up at the 21st that there seemed to be a bit of a language barrier issue with the term "fancy dress".
Fortunately Thai people have a good sense of humour, and after a few wines we got over the fact that we were the only two there in any sort of costume.

Had a great time in Thailand. It is so incredibly cheap to stay over there. We did a road trip up to the hills in the north, and the roads there are like Takaka/Whangamoas, but go on for hundreds of kms. Next time it will be on a bike.
Got some relevant bike pics somewhere in th 5 gigs of pics that I will post soon.

i will put a pic up of me in drag and if you find me pretty, that may go some way in explaining the Klenere.

Actually I have just reviewed all my pics and there are none of me in drag (my camera) unless you count the one of me wearing fishnet stockings that I accidentally took with the smile detector on.

If anyone wants a pic please request one here and if there is enough interest I will email my bro in law and he will send one that he took.

PM's ok if you want to keep it secret.
