�?Ideal GPS usage scenario��1. Always on route tracking in the background.
2. track info can be published to web into kml format directly without going through the hotsync process.
3. A shortcut to record point info and a name.
The love of nightOn the bus to a hiking trip. People seems to care about sex and money. Laugh loudly and pay no attention to other's feeling. Bad experience.

But when the night goes deeper, it slowly gets quiet. Voices became softer and topics switched to more interesting topics like astronomy and the hiking trip itself.

It's the darkness and the stars above make the change.

The love of night.
On mind switchingWeekdays are always busy, tense and on-a-rush. The brain is thinking about things in 5 minutes. It feels like driving a race car. What's in front of you has deprived of all the attentioon and time.

And then comes a four hour bus riding in the dark. There is notying you could do but to think.

In the past week, what makes you happy? Unhappy? How can I make myself even happier.

That's the amazing nature of break.��
