Itchy Boots - New Season

[Hairy]

She has lost a bit of weight already on this trip, it makes you wonder if she was bulking up before the trip knowing she would be loosing weight along the way. Could be a lesson from previous trip experiences.

If this is the case, I am currently ready to do two trips around the world.

Something else that is very peculiar is her tablet. The big one fell and broke, and she hasn't bothered to replace it, even though she must have had the opportunity to do so (it could have been sent together with the new wiring loom).
Her phone (and most probably Google Maps) is doing duty, without real complaints, which makes me think....
Maybe the big tablet is just too big, and a phone or Garmin (Circa S.7) is actually the best solution?
(the only issue I have with a phone is that one would lose connection. Garmin keeps on tracking...

The software she runs on her tablet, she can run on her phone.

All (Vastly most) modern smartphones have GPS built into the unit. That combined with her preloaded maps on the software she is using can certainly do the trick.

Google maps / cell phones though can also fail. Left Sunday morning on a quick exploratory loop I set up on google maps. Not 10km from home the cellphone lost GPS signal and it did not pick up the signal again till later when I got home. So the whole mapped out route could not be followed.

With a Garmin, what is the chance of loosing a GPS signal?

Garmin Instinct 2 horlosie. Ek het een, en dis die beste, gemaklikkste horlosie wat ek nog gehad het. Jy kan apps vir hom laai soos jy nodig het. Enige iets van hartklop tot km/h, en alles tussenin - elke Whatsapp wat ek ontvang, of as iemand die kantoor se alarm afsit wys op hom. Battery hou 28 dae.

Nope, she has referred to a previous boyfriend,

No, not Noraly, those other two on the Triumph.

Unfortunately she is not attracted to your kind Bart.

Tongue & groove?

Correct - and thanks for calling me kind

I thought he was a breed?

Almost Chris, but you confuse my hobby I think.....
