![]() ![]() ![]() This new feature will be built into Mail, Safari, and iCloud settings, letting you set up as many faux addresses as you want and delete them at will. Hide My Email lets you create and delete email aliases rather than revealing your real address. ![]() Private Relay will not be available in Belarus, China, Colombia, Egypt, Kazakhstan, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkmenistan, and Uganda due to strict censorship regulations in those countries. Apple hopes its developers will support the system so that eventually, Private Relay will not be limited to just Safari. Private Relay is designed to be flexible, so you may be able to disable the feature for specific sites. Whereas iCloud Private Relay is designed specifically for Safari, at least at the outset, classic VPNs shield all your online activities. VPNs are often used to hide location to access geo-restricted content, but Private Relay won’t do that. Ideally, this will work without a speed hit, but that remains to be seen. With the second channel, the third party knows where you are and have gone, but not who you are, as your IP address is anonymous. Apple will know who you are but not where you’re going since the destination is encrypted. With all traffic encrypted, if someone were to intercept traffic on a public wireless network, they would still need to decrypt the data to invade your privacy. After encryption, content flows through two separate relays where even Apple cannot see it. Private Relay is kind of like a VPN, but what distinguishes it from classic VPNs is its double-server approach - one server is Apple, and the other is a third party not yet identified to anonymize your online activities. Private Relay is Apple’s version of a quasi- VPN, which is designed to protect your online identity by encrypting all outgoing traffic from your device, thus hiding your online activity from internet service providers, governments, and criminal snoops.

![]() ![]() Don't put them into sub folders within here. With regards to the different folders (mine kept putting tham all in 1 until I sussed it out), but now they are all within sub folders.ġ) Download the lastest version of POI Loader.Ģ) Create a "master folder" into which you will put all your custom POI`s. I received my Garmin 7200 today and have been "playing with it" all day to get it set up how I want it (have to say its a SUPERB bit of kit). My next task is how to make the device read my custom POI's from the SD card instead of its internal memory So the answer is dont just erase the contents of the folder erase the folder itself which has to be done manually Leaving this empty folder on the device caused absolute havoc with future uploads. If you then want to upload an amended file it erases the contents of the POI-GPI file but does not actually remove the folder itself. and your data is contained within the file. ![]() However, when you do your very first upload it place a file on your device called POI-GPI. You cannot then add to the data on the device you have to erase it using the uploader program then reload you new files in one go. The garmin works like an ipod in that you create the daa in a folder on your PC and then, via the garmin POI loader you transfer the data to the device. Having looked at the screen shots of older garmins it would appear to be much easier as you can create folders and move data between them.Īnyway for those who might have the same frustrations i had, this is wher it went wrong. I have one file at 1.I have just worked out where i was it was going wrong. Up to about 1,000kb seems fine, and the files are very compact. Not sure what the precise size is, but one of my files came out at about 1,400kb and I had to split it to get it to open. In MapSource there is a limit to the maximum size of file that it can read. Using either program you can then create your own POIs from scratch. ![]() Your saved POIs can also be opened as files from either program, so you can view them at reasonable size and, cherry on the cake, open Google Earth at the same location as you are viewing on screen, to verify and, as necessary adjust, the POI position. I find MapSource the better program to work with (though I wouldn't call it intuitive!), but it is no longer supported and will only run on PC. You may also find it useful to download either BaseCamp or MapSource from the Garmin website, both of which allow you to install the mapping onto a Mac (BaseCamp only) or PC, and both will run under Win10. Depending on your Garmin, you may then need to further organise the groups into folders (or directories), such as, for example, Supermarkets, etc. The starting point is to organise the files (if not already done) into recognisable groups, such as, for example, French supermarkets, and so on for each main category. How you need to organise the POIs for loading onto the Garmin will depend what model you have. Also claims to run under Mac operating systems. I'd suggest first making copies of your POI files, and converting those, rather than trying to convert the originals - just in case! :-) Haven't tried it under Win10, but it claims to run under Win8, so I would imagine it will be OK. GPSBabel is not that intuitive, but if you follow the instructions you should get there. You'll then need to download and install Garmin POI loader (free) from the Garmin website. I think all you'll need to do is convert your POI files from either. It's free, and it translates GPS formats between dozens of different manufacturer's file formats. Haven't tried it to convert TomTom files to Garmin, but have used it to convert from other formats to Garmin and it has so far worked perfectly. I have loaded copilot satnav software and added csv files to that as well.easy once you know how !!!. Poi files for things like Britstops, are not provided but once you get the book, you can create your own if you are computer savvy, by entering the postcodes on line to a conversion software, to generate the lat and long coordinates, I have done this thanks to Steve giving me permission, but I am not permitted to pass them on.Īs you already have tomtom files, these can be converted on line to csv format, and the added to garmin camper very easily.īoth ccc and cmc also provide apps which work off line if you have a suitable tablet. You should also do a search for any relevant csv files, such as Archies camping info. The same applies to the camping caravan club.īoth clubs provide poi files in the form of csv format, which is the format required by Garmin poi loader software. Hi, if you are carava motorhome club member you can access poi from the members might be worth a quicl message to the club to get the relevant address to access it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Breaking your leg on the beach isn’t a fun way to end your extended vacation. As we’ve already mentioned, exposed seaweed and other green plant life can be slick (and I mean SLICK, like stepping on a verdantly green ice skating rink). Keep to bare rocks and try not to tread on barnacles, mussels, or closed-up sea anemones. Without care, humans can easily kill the gentle marine life that exists within one of these micro-ecosystems. If you’ve ever kept a home aquarium, you know just how important and delicate the balance of life can be within one. Check out our Oregon Coast Tide Tables which covers not only Newport, but many other popular towns on the Oregon Coast.Ĥ. This gives you plenty of time to explore before the tide starts to come back in. The BEST TIME to go tide-pooling is two hours before low tide. Always know your tide tables! / Image via / The Author / thePDXphotographer The Devil’s Punchbowl is one massive tide pool when the water retreats, making it both beautiful and dangerous to explore. Each calendar month is broken down by exact dates and times (each day has two high and two low tides, AM and PM). You can also Google “Tide Table ” to bring up a dozen or more sites with accurate information. Tide tables can be found in the form of little booklets, usually distributed at the front counters of local businesses and chambers of commerce. At this point in the cycle, pools will be completely covered by the waves, resulting in well, nothing. I’ve gotten really excited about looking for tide pools, only to realize I showed up to the beach at high tide. Better to land on your posterior than your head, but still…You’ve been warned. Falling isn’t pretty, and more so dangerous. I’ve landed hard on my butt more than a few times by Devil’s Punch Bowl because the exploration was impromptu and I was in my Vans slip-ons. The point here is that wet rocks are slippery, made so much more so by seaweed and algae clinging to them. Waterproof boots are great as long as they have decent soles with good tread. In fact, it’s your feet that may end up cut if you aren’t outfitted in the proper footwear. Wear Good Shoesįlip flops aren’t going to cut it, folks. One way to make sure they remain that way is to bring a bag along with you, both for your trash and for junk that others may have left behind. Oregon beaches are unique in the fact that they are free and accessible to the public (thank you, Governor Tom McCall). Leave No TraceĮach tide-pool adventurer (and beach-goer, for that matter) has an ethical responsibility.

One may be filled with beautiful waving anemones, while another will be home to tiny coastal crustaceans and fish.īefore you strap on your waterproof shoes and grab your Google marine life encyclopedia, check out these tide-pooling tips for safety and fun. Nothing ever stays completely the same in one, and none are absolutely alike. Tide pools are always full of unique surprises. This is when the small pools of seawater are exposed and accessible, enabling you to observe all the marine habitats previously hidden by the churning waves. Tide-pooling is an outdoor activity that involves heading out to explore these mini-ecosystems during low tide. ![]() Tide pools happen when the ocean tide retreats and leaves seawater trapped in indentations in the sand or rocks. Image via / The Author / thePDXphotographer So, what are tide pools anyway? Two sea stars huddle together at low tide. When observing these microcosms of marine life, certain rules must be exercised. However, beachcombing is a totally different beast from tide-pooling. I’m a huge collector (some may say “hoarder”) of small things beach agates, tiny shells, unique pieces of driftwood. In fact, take me with you for a long walk on the beach and I’ll be doing less walking and more crouching as I search for all the hidden treasures that the seaside has to offer. Tide pools are one of my absolute favorite things about the Oregon Coast (right behind all the beachcombing).

While this is a learning process, playing chess often can help players reinforce these skills faster and then apply them to everyday life. All of this together means players develop the ability to analyze lots of information and then come up with the best decisions. Playing Chess consistently will help players learn to prioritize certain information and keep track of many moving pieces. To land a checkmate, you’ll need to get your opponent’s King into a position where it can be captured, and cannot be freed by the opponent’s next move.Ĭhess is one of the best games for developing critical thinking and decision-making skills. ![]() Your objective in Chess is to get a checkmate. Use your mouse to move your Chess pieces across the board. Keep on playing and maybe someday you’ll be a Chess master, too! It takes years of hard work and practice. Chess isn’t meant to be mastered after the first game. Practice makes perfect!Īs with any game, the more you play, the more you’ll learn. Watch this video to learn more about the point system. When deciding which pieces to sacrifice, it can help to count the points. An experienced Chess player will sometimes sacrifice lower-ranking pieces in order to save those that are more useful. In any game, you will lose some of your pieces to your opponent. You can even have "extra" Queens or other pieces! Don’t be afraid to make sacrifices If you can manage to get one of your pawns across the board to your opponent's back row, you can "promote" them into any other piece except a King. Simply choose the new piece you'd like them to become. Pawns can become Queens (or most any other piece) Note: Castling can only be done if neither your King and Rook have moved. To castle, you must first clear all of the space between your King and one of your Rooks. This will open up special move options for your King. Protecting your King is your number one objective, so as soon as you see an opportunity to castle, you should. With enough practice, you’ll be able to predict your opponent's moves based on how the board is set up each turn. Don't move into squares where they can capture your pieces, unless you see a potential advantage. Use their movements to come up with your own strategy for taking down each of their pieces. Stay focused and keep an eye on what kind of moves your opponent makes. It’s ideal to move to a spot that puts any of your opponent’s pieces under attack, but be careful you don’t set yourself up for a loss! Watch your opponent’s moves carefully Take a moment to consider your options before making your move. You’ve got to get those mental muscles moving if you want to best your opponent! Chess Tips & Tricks The Queen can move in any direction and move as many squares as possible - as long as it doesn’t move through any of its own pieces.ĭon’t forget: Chess is a game of logical thinking and strategic planning.However, you won't be able to move your King into a position where it'll be in check. The King can move one square at a time in any direction.Knights are the only pieces that can move over other ones on the board. Knights move in an “L” shape: two squares in one direction then another at a 90 degree angle.Note: a Bishop will remain on squares of the same color it started on. Bishops can also move any amount of squares, but only diagonally.Rooks can move any amount of squares, but only forward, backwards or sideways.Instead, they capture by moving diagonally forward one tile. ![]() However, they cannot move forward into a square that is occupied by another piece. Pawns can only move forward one square at a time, except on the first turn when they can move ahead two.When your piece moves into a square that is currently occupied by an opponent's piece, you will capture that piece. Your objective is to capture your opponent's pieces from the board and get a checkmate, where the King can be captured and the opponent is unable to prevent the King from being captured with their next move.Įach piece on the board moves differently. ![]() ![]()
