Ah yes, because what we truly need in 2023 is a #DIY guide to turn our beloved e-readers into high-contrast 🧭 #GPS devices. Why use an actual GPS when you can awkwardly fumble with your Kindle’s browser and a cascade of apps on your phone? 🙄📚 It's like trying to navigate using a magnifying glass and a sundial.

I am testing alternatives to Google Maps (or Apple Maps) at the moment.

To be honest, the usability of the open source software available is rather horrible, so I heard from an old friend: Here WeGo. Old friend, because it was #nokia here long ago.

I downloaded the app for my #iphone and registered on the webpage for my browser.

The usability is very good! One time, the app hang up on me but overall this could become my daily driver

The feature in the mapy.cz (online & app) offering that is missing, is that one cannot put arbitrary waypoints when building a route.

But then I found out that there is gpxmapy.cz/

Discovery of the day!

It allows all sorts of waypoint layouts and integrates directly with mapy.cz.

#Vögel nutzen ihren #Geruchssinn stärker als bisher angenommen – von der #Navigation bis zur #Futtersuche spielt er eine wichtige Rolle für ihr Überleben. Manche Vögel setzen Gerüche sogar als Waffe ein, um Feinde abzuwehren und ihre Nester zu schützen: @ThomasKrumenacker riffreporter.de/de/wissen/voge

Our tent in a winter storm. High winds are especially dangerous during winter hikes, as they efficiently remove body heat, which can lead to frostbite or even hypothermia. They can also affect visibility, making navigation and movement difficult. If the winds get too strong, pitching a tent might become impossible, so it's important to be aware of the situation.
