I have no idea was Waze looks like in a residential area. Trying to find screens shots of people using any kind of maps in a residential area is next to impossible.

It's looking like if I want the resolution I'm looking for, I'll have to get an iPhone with Apple Maps and GPS capability. I'm familiar with Apple Maps but have never owned a cell phone in my life.

Thanks bdcardinal. :)

For a lower ball joint cotter pin, does 3.2mm x 45mm sound about right to you? That equates to 1/8" x 1-3/4" American size.

How detailed is the map? Does it show the little silhouettes of the houses next to the residential streets? This would be good but it doesn't show the street names or the houses:

What I'm trying to do is put my car on the map in real time as I drive without a destination. If I had an actual destination, it would be so much easier keeping track of where I'm at compared to driving around without a destination. I spend a lot of time driving in residential neighborhoods and...

When I find a police officer that works traffic enforcement, I'll stop and ask him what he wants me to do. If he says I have to be within 5 miles per hour of the speed limit, that's what I'll do.

When you're driving the speed limit, you have to brake harder before reaching the red light. When I'm driving 30 in a 40 mile per hour zone, I let off the gas pedal immediately when seeing the light turn red and then coast a long ways before applying the brakes. Meanwhile, people are passing me...

On the freeway I set my cruise control to 55 miles per hour and stay in the far right lane. It used to be the federally mandated freeway speed limit between 1974 and 1995. To my amazement, I see people with adaptive cruise control setting their speed to match mine.

The rough roads do increase the wear on the vehicle's chassis and driving the speed limit does increase the wear on the vehicle's brakes. Given the way the traffic lights are set up currently, I fail to see the logic in driving the speed limit. If driving the speed limit meant I would hit...

I have people on a regular basis pass me up when the light has already turned red, and 9 times out of 10, are at the red light waiting when I get there. Where's the logic in that?

Yes I have two reasons: 1. Some of the roads are too tore up to drive a full 40 miles per hour. 2. The faster a person drives, the longer they wait at the red light.

You would not believe how angry people get with me. What I do on a regular basis is pull over to the far right into the bike lane and let people go by if I can, but sometimes there's no bike lane and nowhere to go.
