Thanks for the app idea, Nest trip I may p;ay with it,. I also have GPS
in the car, and that is more convenient. I did make some of the key way
points, such as the Post Office at Malden Bridge, in the car, though few
images were actually tagged. What I really should do, i indicate which
images would be better shot, at what time of day, or under what lighting
conditions. Remember though the location is a over 130 miles from my home.
