Google Maps & RWGPS problems

Submitted by CWaaser on Wed, 01/11/2017 - 6:36pm

Can anyone tell me what's going on with Google Street View? It keeps coming up with a black screen instead of the street image. If no one else is having trouble with it, I'll assume it's some setting in Chrome on my computer.

Also, as of today, RWGPS seems to have decided the Port Authority has already made the GW Bridge north path the cyclist path and the south path for pedestrians only. I had to set it for walking in order to route over the south path. When set for cycling, it would only route me over the north path.  Very odd!

Tomorrow's (1/11) CP Community Council meeting was canceled following the passing of Detective McDonald.

He was shot, while questioning three boys regarding bicycle thefts in CP in 1986, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. He died today following a heart attack a few days ago. (Wikipedia)

Club member Alex Ostroy will be having a show of his cycling-related art work at the Rapha store, 159 Prince Street, on February 2. The show is appropriately titled "Somebody's Always Faster Than You."
