   I would love all of that, but I don't want it connecting back to the cloud. And understanding some of the inherent necessities these things have with the cloud, I understand I am not the target market. Which is a shame. If there&#x27

   No I know how you feel, completely. I'm in the middle of transitioning back to my hometown of Indianapolis. Worse roads, less of a music scene, but the cost of living is much more tolerable...and it's my home. It's where I wa

   Hrm. This sounds a lot like a certain city I just got away from. By chance, did your state legislation come down pretty much immediately and strip away the power of cities to regulate TNC's in their city limits? That was a real fun ses

   I can kind of see where your head's at, but it's hard to really know where the value is because what you're describing hits on so many different points. What would this 'database' (which seems in context so loosely

   Oh it's you! I love the monokai scheme to the point where it's part of my ritualistic backup of ~ and has it's own dotdir. Thank you! :)

    Good question. I'm only a hobbyist with GIS, so I can't really say or speak to how practical of a format KML/KMZ are in production. But that's a really good question.
