• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Best GPS value/quality/price/features. Which one do you use and why?

I just need it to follow DS routes and record tracks for laying out race courses. If I wanna follow a course at high speed, I prefer to chase ribbon.
 
At the end, I finally got a Garmin eTrex20, mostly because of price.. However, the screen is very small. Have to scroll down a lot and cannot follow trace while driving
 
My 62s is doing double duty on my Multistrada. I found an open source national city map that works on the garmin. I was not into paying 500+ for their new moto specific units when I already own 3 Garmin devices. While it is rudimentary it is easily pocketed and does not obscure my dash. The new 64s replaces it and will charge batteries internally. My problem is I cannot really look a a nav for long. I am easily distracted so I am safer just riding like the old days w/o a lot of gadgets and concentrating on my riding. As long as I have a directional arrow near an exit and can see my route I am OK. Worked well for my trip from the coast to Kernville today. I am on a shakedown trip for a few days seeing how all works on the mts.While it does not have the ability to search as well as other units I can create a route ahead of time with basecamp or on my cell and then enter the address and input that.

Just returned as heat and pollution from Springville was bad. Lockwood Valley Road from the grapevine and 33 made for a very cool 2nd day. Both days full of twistees and no traffic. A photo from The Western Divide Highway between Kernville and Springville. The 62s worked well for me even as a road navigator. Just not good for searching.
