I sent a message off over the weekend to have them change my
location. When I went on the map I got it down to the top of my roof. Its
amazing the map showed my house in the picture when I zoom in.
My Lat: 36:27:15N
Lon: 76:04:51
I think what happen is when I first sign up I went to a site they mention
gave zip 27958. Once signed up I saw the map on web site and saw it was
off. So I change setting and zoom into my house and the above is my exact
location within a few fee. Anyhow I sent a message off over weekend as
stated in report to have it changed to above.
Thanks for replies it just bother me when I get these reports. I was under
the understanding you only get them if there's a problem. If things look
good then you don't see them. I get them all the time.
Any how everyone have a nice week and better weather coming <grin>. I see
it all I travel all 49 states and Canada weekly.
