Gladwin and I are excited to attend the 2010 Florida RV SuperShow (Jan 13th-17th) in Tampa again this year.
For details check out the official website: FRVTA
If you are from the area, we invite you to come and meet with us and bring your questions and comments. We love to meet everyone who uses Streets & Trips.
This is a real highlight for us to showcase the new features of S&T 2010 to all who attend.
We're coming all the way from warm and sunny Seattle to brave the cold and frigid temperatures of Florida Well? Who's coming?

I am in Odessa - about 25 or so miles from the fairgrounds. I met Gladwin last year or the year before, and look forward to knowing that the two of you will be there. I will try to make it - if I can get my construction updates to work , otherwise, you might not want me around.
Dress warm [seriously] we are getting freeze warnings in the Tampa area for Sunday night - not sure what next week will bring. We have already had some nights at 28° here this week.

Tom - come early and bring your laptop. Gladwin would love to debug it. .
I'm looking forward to it - regardless of the weather (although I'm leaving my sunscreen at home this year).

I'm going to be there. Where are you going to be located in the show. It's BIG and I don't want to miss you.

Hi Joe,
That is a good point - the show is huge! And I can at least count on a couple forum folks stopping by. See you soon.
We will be located in building 'B' - booth B535.

This is Tim. I'll be coming Wednesday from Treasure Island about 30 miles away. I have been using Streets & Trips for about 5 years. Now the current version 2010.
Welcome to the forum Tim!
I look forward to meeting you in Tampa! I'll try to bring some of the warm Pacific NW weather with me :-)

If anyone of you there has a camera handy, take a picture if you have a moment, and post it here for the rest of us to enjoy.
Joe and I did get a chance to meet yesterday but sorry no picture. I thought of it too late. Maybe one of us could sketch something out on a napkin and scan it in to share.
Hey, there is still plenty of time for taking photos till the show ends on the 17th.
Camera in hand as I walk out today to go to the show. Will post them when I return home.

Tom, Thanks for stopping by. It was great experience for us to see someone from the forum. And it was also fun exchanging tips and tricks.
Gladwin,
It was good to see both Larry and you, and put faces to our conversations in the future. There were some really good exchanges of ideas and hopefully I will see them in the 2011 or 2012 version [smile].
I will post the pictures from today once I figure out how to attach them.

Here are the pictures from the show. Sorry for the clarity, I need someone to remind me to check the settings on the camera after I change batteries, throw it around the car, and then get bumped several times at the show before trying to take some good photos. The two of Larry are just OK, but the one of both Gladwin and Larry needs to be re-shot.
Really enjoyed the interaction at the S&T booth and got a solution from Gladwin on my age-old problem of a "runaway" POI search [e.g. 50 mile radius, but on the entire route] - the [Esc] key is your friend!
Larry also showed a group of us the Bing integration, and reminded me of a problem I had months ago but couldn't solve, and that was when you have the My Pushpins group hidden and you try to add a point, the new pushpin just disappears [of course]. Hopefully in the next release, the project team can "stupid proof" that for us by opening the My Pushpins group when you try to set up a new point. Please don't open all the pushpin groups though - I wouldn't want to wait for the megafile to open all the groups! [smile]
Hope more can make the show, and bring new tricks / tips to the group.
BTW, this is the second try at the message - I also need someone to remind me not close the window after I click on one of the pictures and look at them enlarged - it shut IE down [I know that - smile]

Tom, thanks for taking the time to take & post the pictures. It's nice to see Larry & Gladwin, but next time the photos have to include also you.

Wow, this Supershow has been awesome. Tom was a huge help today at the booth. He was fielding questions from the crowds and helping Gladwin and I tell people about S&T.
A guy who goes by the name of Animal won a copy of S&T. He was pretty excited about that...it was good to keep him happy.
I met "Crazy Chris" and his wife today. He said he'd be joining the forum within the next few days.
One couple came to the booth with the greatest shirts that had road signs all over them. We begged and pleaded but she nor her husband would give us the shirts of their back!
And lastly, here is the requested photo of Tom and Gladwin.

I just wanted to say how much fun it was to meet Larry, Gladwin and Tom Bernardi at the RV Show today. My wife (Cori) and I are fulltime RVers (originally from Edmonton, Alberta Canada). We have been avid S&T users since 2003, so it was great to meet some of the folks behind the scenes. Thanks, Larry, for the free goodies (MS pen and demo disk to give to our DeLorme-loving RVer friends), and thanks for pointing us to this forum and to the POI mega file. FABULOUS stuff!
Btw, Larry, Cori and I still expect that commission check for passing out demo disks and telling other folks what great software S&T is while we were visiting the booth. Yeah, I know... the check is in the mail! LOL!
Anyway, thanks to *everyone* at MS for S&T. Thanks, too, to everyone on laptopgpsworld for all the great info!
See ya down the road someday!
Regards,
Chris & Cori O'Neill

Hi Chris & Cori,
:welcome: to Laptop GPS World.
I envy the great time everyone has been having at the show! I enjoy the pictures. Larry & Gladwin, you guys should have been more persistent in asking for the shirts, they look fabulous .

Marvin,
OK, I was taking those shots, but Larry took some too - with me in them, so hopefully he will post those also at some point!
Hint, Hint Larry!

Larry just did, post #17 on this page.
Hey Crazy Chris!
Welcome to the forum. It is great to have you among us here.
Thanks again for all your help today during the show. Obviously having 'real S&T users' giving their S&T testimonials to others stopping by our booth was a real treat.
At one point Chris was grabbing our visual aids from our booth and explaining features to people. I had to snap a photo:

Hey Larry!
Now we have the PROOF that Cori and I are deserving of that commission check! And everyone here on laptopGPSworld is our witness! LOL!
Anyway, we're REALLY loving the Mega POI file.... it's an absolutely FABULOUS resource for anyone who's on the road alot. I also found POI-factory (POI Factory | new & interesting places for your GPS) and downloaded some special interest POIs we're interested in (lighthouses, covered bridges, offbeat attractions). My gosh! I think I'm hooked! We're planning our trip west (starts monday), so this info couldn't have come at a better time.
Again, thanks for the fun time at the RV show! Happy travels!

Another busy day at the RV show. We have given out 1000's of trial DVDs and are running extremely low. Tomorrow is the last day and we have saved a couple dozen DVDs to hand out but they will likely go quickly.
Today we met an avid S&T user who has been using the product for 15 years!!!! He started when it was called AutoMap. We gave him a special blue Microsoft pen as his 15 year award.

Larry,
Hopefully, lots of the people will activate the product now! Great to meet Gladwin and you, and hope you had a good time in Tampa.
BTW, What were you doing up at 12:24 AM? [in the morning] - smile!
