But I didn't stop at any places on the way down, I just went right here to my bro-in-law's in Chester, and we've been drinking out of my cooler -- Sly Fox Ofest, Bud American Ale and Michelob Dunkel Weisse, Sam Adams Imperial Pilsner -- and Carl's fridge: Paulaner Ofest and Redhook Harvest.<BR/>Oh yeah.Lew Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084380741402026573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-80835097411312324662008-10-02T15:12:00.000-04:002008-10-02T15:12:00.000-04:00Well, you won't need a GPS for finding the best sp...Well, you won't need a GPS for finding the best spots in Richmond, seeing as how they are few but extraordinary. I live half a block from one of them, and maybe a mile or so from another; so if you stop to hit Legend, Capital Ale, or one of the other good spots in the Downtown/Fan area on your way down, shoot me an email!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-35897709682430346942008-10-02T13:32:00.000-04:002008-10-02T13:32:00.000-04:00Spencer,One of the beermapping moderators is using...Spencer,<BR/><BR/>One of the beermapping moderators is using a Tom Tom Navigator as his primary GPS device. He has to run the file through a free converter (POIedit) first.<BR/><BR/>What isn't mentioned here is that a subscriber can access two types of files. One is the "simple" csv that can be dropped straight into a Garmin or similar device with little effort. <BR/><BR/>But we also provide a "complex" csv file that users can download and sort/organize in the way that they are most interested in. Here are the columns for that file:<BR/><BR/>lat | lng | name | street | city | state | phone | loctype | score<BR/><BR/>So you can download this file for any search and then build your own type of csv from that.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the press Lew!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-63278079313757419682008-10-02T10:34:00.000-04:002008-10-02T10:34:00.000-04:00Has anyone tried this with a TomTom?Has anyone tried this with a TomTom?Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884188052527454989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-77969543349408838242008-10-02T10:31:00.000-04:002008-10-02T10:31:00.000-04:00I want the Wingman!

Now go on the Garmin website, go to Extras and access the Garmin Garage - you'll want to download the Spitfire (called the Wingman). Failing that, there's always the Commander.

One of the most valuable things about beer festivals was meeting people from other towns who could tell you where good beer could be found. The Internet has made sharing that knowledge so easy it boggles the beer-drinking mind. Adding it to navigation electronics...I'd say it makes it <I>too</I> easy, but that would be ridiculous!Lew Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084380741402026573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-47748426946651626922008-10-02T07:48:00.000-04:002008-10-02T07:48:00.000-04:00Beermapping.com is also great for those of use who...Beermapping.com is also great for those of use who don't have a GPS unit but do have a pda. Unlike BeerAdvocate, it's much more friendly with my BlackBerry and also unlike BeerAdvocate it gives me a map of nearby breweries so I can figure out how close and/or convenient various bars/breweries/beer stores are to where I am (especially handy when I'm somewhere new and I have no idea which towns are nearby and which are clear across the state).Chibehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00255790557381362058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-88571712421799853792008-10-02T06:41:00.000-04:002008-10-02T06:41:00.000-04:00I live to serve.
