Wireless Phones | Comments Off on Q & A: Off-Roading With Mobile Geo | April 22nd, 2010
[Sent To Mark]
Hello Mark
I am interested in knowing about some of the non-traditional features of Mobile Geo and you are the first person I thought of asking.
I’m an outdoor enthusiast, hiking, running, biking, mountaineering… I am wondering what capabilities Mobile Geo would have for those kind of activities. Is Mobile Geo capable of creating tracks and allowing me to retrace my steps? For example, if my wife and I go on a 40 mile bike ride, can Mobile Geo help us retrace our steps to get home? Also, does Mobile Geo do altitudes, and how accurate is it? Can MG give your speed and mileage, such as for long runs or bike rides? Finally, is it possible to load tracks created by other GPS users and have Mobile Geo follow them (such as a bike ride or hike that someone else has done)?
Thanks for any help, and keep up all of the great work with your podcasts and blogs.

HOW TO FORCE YOUR iPAD TO RESTART
This brief tutorial will explain how to force your iPad to restart if it gets stuck or freezes up.
Just to ease your mind – forcing your iPad to restart will not cause any loss of data – with the possible exception of any work you were doing at the time the iPad and/or App froze, forcing you to reboot it.
It’s actually very easy, once you know how to do it. Click and hold down the Sleep/Wake button (located on the upper-right corner of your iPad). While you’re holding down the Sleep/Wake button, hold down the Home button as well (located on the front of your iPad at the bottom).
Hold down both buttons until your iPad powers off. It will reboot and start again with a small silver Apple image on the screen. It takes about 30 seconds for the iPad to completely startup.
