Need a new mod Stand, this site is new to me but they have lots of neat plans for 3D printing:

That made me think about a saying an old boss of mine liked to use,
"Sometimes you eat the bar, sometimes the bar eats you."
Anyone use the iphone for a GPS and have any input on a good app, if there is one? I got my wife's hand me down iphone 5s, I see it has a cool compass and looks like, with a good app, I may be able to use it as a GPS for marking locations I want to go back to?
This phone is a big jump from the "smart" phone I use now, it wasn't that long ago I was still using a flip phone and to be honest I miss it. I haven't switched over to this iphone yet, not sure I will, I don't like the deeper loss of privacy I'll have to give up if I do use it. If I can use it as a GPS for marking locations while metal detecting and fishing hot spots on a lake I may activate it as a second phone and use it just for the GPS, it's through tracfone and it's cheap to use, under $30 for three months. I assume if I use it for GPS I'll need to have the wireless working for map data? Unless I can download the maps on wifi at home and use them later offline? I rather not activate it unless needed in order to use the GPS, and that is if the GPS will do what I'm looking for. I need an iphone for dummies book.... maybe a "for idiots" book....

Let me see if I can answer some of these, I use the Maps app that comes with the phone.
You can mark a location on the map
I have used the GPS in places there is no cell service, some how it maps the corse a head of time & just keeps going even if cell service is lost.I'm at home on Wifi right now, I can choose a location & the GPS will map out the route, So I guess the GPS will work on WiFi
If you can work the GPS 100% off just Wifi (unactivated Phone) IDK for sure.I would do a trial, next time you go out for a trip some were set the GPS from home on Wifi & see what it does

Pardon the drive-by post ... for $1.99 on the App Store, you may want to check this one out. You can download maps while connected to Wifi ... then don't need cellular service or Wifi while using it 'off network'. It even has a capability for NOAA Marine Charts.

My fav thread to 'lurk' to keep up on Evolv and TC vaping. I'm one of 'those' that just never got beyond the 'finicky' part of TC vaping. Would tinker for a month, give up. Come back tinker for a month, give. Repeat a few times and just went back to watts and kanthal. I figured if I couldn't get it fool proof and simple I couldn't get my wife switched over as if'n the time comes I not around I want her to be able to do and maintain her own builds.
But this 'Replay' has perked my interest once again.
I found it way easier in the 'old days' to make my own ceramic wicks then get a stable / repeatable TC vape. We've got 1/2 doz DNA 75 mods in the house all running happily in power mode.

o GAWD, I did those wicks too, this was a much easier learning curve. Albeit maybe not wife proof, but AO wicks werent exactly wife proof either, do you think she would make those?
Replay can take a lot a of the fiddly out of TC. But.... as with any new feature, there is still a learning curve.
I did some wick tweaking when I refilled that tank with the claptons. Jury is still out, but performance has come WAY up. I'm running at 40 watts and the temp hovers right around 400F. Tons of vapor, too. I tried it at 50 watts and it still hovered around 400-410, depending on how enthusiastic my draw was. I suspect at 75 it would actually reach the 440 it's set at. I think I left the tails a little too long, trimmed them about an eighth of an inch, even with the silicon O ring on the coil base section, before tucking them inside and screwing that back onto the tank base, No leaks and much better performance.
Life is a learning curve.
I flat out refuse to get stuck in the Apple Crate. My wife has an iPhone7 I tried setting up VPN on. I felt like I had been transported to another planet that thinks backwards. When I got done I kept looking over my shoulder for three days, thinking I was being followed.

Very cool! I thank you for stopping by and posting the link, it's appreciated! Stick around, we have fun here and the morning "coffee" pics posted will wake you up.
Thanks again Mike!
Yeah, I looked at all the way's they grab and share your and track you, not something I'm interested in. Then I found the phone has built in ibeacon, when I read what that is my attitude is anyone using an iphone should be paid for letting advertisers access your phone. Read this--> What is iBeacon? A Guide to iBeacons and this--> Apple Can Track You in Its Stores, and That Might Not Be Bad
Not only does it beam advertisements to your phone while walking around a store, the store can track where you are, where you stopped, how long you paused and your entire path while in the store. When I go to lowes or walmart and use my debit card, they keep a record of everything I buy, when I get emails from them they have things I purchased showing in the email, when I go to their websites it shows me a list of all my past in store purchases. So using an iphone and a debit card, they can tell a ton about you, then they have the right to sell that information, like to health insurance companies that want to know what over the counter meds you buy and what you eat.... And you know damn well the NSA has all that info as well. I've gone back to paying with cash and I won't be using an iphone in the stores.
It's bad enough what can be done with a smartphone by "outsiders" but what gets me is that everyone went nuts when we found out the NSA was collecting everyone's metadata. How about all the specific stuff that PRIVATE COMPANIES are collecting and SELLING? People haven't got a clue and, worse yet, don't seem to care that Big Brother is with them tracking everything they do and profiting from it.
Pardon me, I have to re-wrap my hat with tin foil. But in all seriousness, the amount of privacy that is being surrendered is mind boggling.

People use to laugh when you talked about it, now it's coming out that yes the NSA and these companies do track and gather all the info they can, not as many laughing now but your also correct in saying few seem to care which is shocking to me.
