GPS TRACKING

OK, I THINK I HAVE THE BUGS WORKED OUT FOR LOGGING IN.  BY CLICKING THE LINK BELOW IT SHOULD ALLOW YOU TO GET "REAL TIME" UPDATES AS I RIDE ACROSS ALASKA.  IF IT DOES ASK FOR A PASSWORD, IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE:  RICK

ONCE THE MAP OPENS OVER TO THE LEFT ABOVE THE "DONATE" BUTTON IS THE OPTION TO GO "FULL MAP."  CLICK ON THAT.

IF YOU GO TO UPPER RIGHT CORNER AND HIT "SATELLITE" YOU WILL GET A TRUE EARTH VIEW OF THE ROADS.
