• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

GPS

I've been using a Garmin 60 with 24k Topo maps (which are routable). I'm saying it's the "best" but I've been happy with it - also use it for street riding, on my mountain bike, and as a handheld while hiking. Thinking about upgrading to the 64.
 
Garmin 276c for years and last year I dedicated my old Samsung S3 to GPS duty with Locus Pro loaded and offline vector maps installed. It rocks.
 
My very old Garmin Nuvi 215W on a standard handlebar mount, powered from waterproof USB socket works well enough for me.
Philippines OpenStreet Maps loaded directly to the SD Card, very accurate and regularly updated for free.

Garmin 478 is my go to when I want to zoom in on forest service roads and excruciating detail. I hold onto it as Garmin dumbs down the interface version after version. Riding my road bike and wanting to integrate a bunch of audio sources..it's a 590LM.

I wish the 26xx, 27xx, or 28xx interface was still around though. I miss it.
