I had the same issues the past 2 days, but not this morning.

Appreciate the elegance of this app. The design really shines, especially when viewed on a desktop computer, and the amount of detail is impressive. Would be excellent for planning purposes.
It was really difficult being away from my spouse when I first started hiking. When hiking, remember asking myself "what is my family doing now?" or "does she have any idea I'm getting hammered in...
Gave up on the idea of "trickle charging" lower power devices such as inReach and NU25 headlamps. A support person told me the inReach is not a candidate for trickle charge and to use the standard...

Well stated Traveler‼️
Illabelle, your experience is humbling. One day things are fine and now you have 3 fractures. Makes me appreciative of today.
Hope your recovery is speedy.

Gambit, thank you for your involvement in this project.
