    270 deg awning which side?

    I am giving some serious consideration to a 270 deg awning. For years I have just hooked, clamped and draped tarps where I needed them. It has worked ok but is definitely not ideal or quick to deploy/stow. So I was wondering those of you with a side or 270 deg awning could you help me pick a...

    GAIA won't delete saved maps

    On Android GAIA won't let me delete maps. If I go to the "maps" page, pick the saved map I want to delete and click delete I get a pop-up window that says"deleting map downloads" and a circle icon spinning but that is it.

    Best grill/stove combo

    Like the title says I am looking for the best, within reason, grill stove/combo. I would prefer white gas but am open to propane fueled ones as well. I am looking to consolidate from two units to one for truck travel so it would need to be somewhat compact. That is to say not the size of a...

    NateGeo real time trcking going black

    I understand this isn't a tech support forum but since we use this equipment a lot someone might be able to help. Neither Garmin nor NatGeo TOPO tech support can help. Each one says the others equipment is to blame. Garmin GPS 60 CSX and NatGao TOPO state series V4.5.Toshiba laptop running...
