WA8LMF Roadtrip Tracker(Close-Up Zoomable View on APRS.fi)This view, formerly plotted on Google Maps, shows past-history "breadcrumb" tracks, and can be zoomed in and out Since Google started demanding tens of thousands of dollars a month for serving maps, the operator of APRS.fi switched to OpenStreets.org (non-profit organization) as a map source. The information is the same, but the appearance is not as nicely presented. Particularly, the highway route-number shields are no longer shown. These used to distinguish between Interstate highways, older US-numbered highways, and state/local route numbers. Unfortunately, since the map source is no longer Google Maps, the Street View option is also no longer available. |
"Route 66" was composed in 1946 by Bobby Troup, and become a big hit for Nat King Cole the same year. Since then, dozens of singers and bands have "covered" (re-recorded) this iconic standard. Here are a few of the best ones. |
