![]() Better even than the NOAA, ENC in my opinion, but I’ll detail that in a future entry.Īs for Homeport, note how it’s able to profile the log’s collected depth soundings, even zoom in on individual points and pinpoint them on the charted track. But the log says different and actually comparing this chart to several others indicates that Garmin may have done the best job of representing the underlying NOAA data for this particular spot. In fact, though he took responsibility in the proper captain fashion, he kinda sorta thought the Garmin had misguided him about the “Obs rep” and the correct side to leave that bouy 68a. After running over the apparently sunken “crib” he’d had to limp the boat back to the ramp with a badly damaged lower unit and hadn’t investigated the track detail. ![]() I was with Anon when he first saw this track zoomed in on his plotter and then even better detailed on my big PC screen. Clicking once on that particular track point got Homeport to put that orange circle mark on the chart spot, clicking twice zoomed into the tragic image below. Methinks it was all that navigational focus at speed that largely accounts for what went wrong at track point #1,867, when Anon was within sight of the launch ramp and running a little bit further up river to burn the gas out his outboard. So Anon drove some 64 nm of complex river (the skinny Sasanoa is famous for its whirlpools!), and his Garmin tracked every bit of it in some detail, as you can see in the bottom middle window. Clicking on Active Log #16 would show the 25 nm he’d run down river before lunching in Bath. At any rate, I’ve clicked on Anon’s last automatically made Active Log (track) and Homeport has zoomed out to show part of a neat trip he took down and back up the Kennebec and Sasanoa Rivers from the launch ramp in Hallowell. Note that I’ve also opened the 5212 base map from the SD card you can see under Devices (I also have the Vision SD card in the PC, and can switch to that added cartography detail if desired). Thus all the data in the lower left window is his. At upper left on the screen you can see that I’ve opened the user file that we downloaded off his Garmin and that I imported into my Homeport Library. We’ll call him Anon so the Google won’t forever pin this very uncharacteristic mistake to his real name. Click to enlarge the screen above and I’ll explain after the break… But today’s look at some deeper Homeport features gets the benefit of a friend’s embarrassing navigation error. I stowed away some memorable tracks, quickly cleaned up some extraneous waypoints (careful with that track-to-route feature), polished some favorite routes, and then overwrote the user data on the 5212 with a much more useful set. I was able to easily copy the 5212’s embedded charts - plus the mess of tracks, routes, and waypoints I put on it last season - and then review/manage all on my home computer. They are pretty much alone in having this sort of user community the other GPS manufacturers haven't diversified the way Garmin have, so there isn't a big enough user base to support reverse-engineering the formats and creating software to reproduce it.I can’t imagine why anyone with a Garmin plotter, a Windows PC, and a bit of ability to use both wouldn’t find Garmin Homeport more than worth the $30 charge. I'm way out of touch with it now, and the software I used is no longer supported. As the area I created a chart for was at 68S, that meant we couldn't install the chart I'd spent weeks creating! As the instrument was installed in a commercially coded RIB customized for use in Antarctic waters, we couldn't just replace the plotter, either.īecause Garmin are widely used in many different sports, there's an active community out there modifying and creating maps for them. However, Garmin DID introduce a nasty trick that placed their equipment in chocolate teapot territory for us - you could only install a chart that lay within the area covered by the built-in low-resolution global map. For those creating maps (using non-Garmin code), you could ignore the security mechanisms as long as you didn't mind creating maps that could be installed on any device (which we didn't). Click to expand.It's nearly 10 years since I was creating maps for Garmin devices, but back then, the format itself changed very little but the security mechanisms did.

For more help on that side of the game you can also find a couple of guides I co-wrote with Alwyn over on Total War Center here and here. In both cases politics are a bit easier than Rome as you don't start as a republic, so don't have that loyalty penalty. You start at war with the Seleucids, but they have problems of their own which usually keep them busy. Their roster is also decent without too much in the way of gimmicks or units needing special strategies, except for chariots, which can be a bit finnicky but also fun.Įgypt are a solid faction with a decent sized unit roster, easy access to food (which makes it easier to build and upgrade buildings,) a central location with different ways you can choose to expand, and their nearest opponents aren't too difficult. Once you have the isles secured, you have a solid base to then expand into Gaul and beyond. Iceni start in a corner of the map and you can essentially play a short campaign with them just conquering the British Isles.

Recruiting one Scythian Hoplite instead of one Holite makes very little difference, I admit. The upkeep for Scythian Hoplites is slightly less. If you're expanding against (some) eastern factions, ordinary hoplites are overkill against units such as Young Axes and Persian Hoplites. I had that reaction to Steppe Hoplites (I think they're called Scythian Hoplites) too. I never understood why their Steppe Hoplites were from a Tier 4 building while their Greek Hoplite which if I remember is on par if not better armour and defense wise from a tier 1 building.

However, each extension uses valuable resources and takes up RAM, which will eventually slow down your browsing speed. Chrome comes with the benefit of many extensions to tailor your browsing experience to your needs. RAM holds all the necessary data to allow apps and programs to open quickly and run smoothly. When many downloads and additional applications are running, you will have less random access memory (RAM), and Chrome will load very slowly. Downloads and apps running in the background.If you have accidentally left an update running in the background while surfing the web on Chrome, your browsing speed may be slow because the update is using up all the bandwidth. Program and software updates use a lot of bandwidth. When your local storage is full, it will slow down your browser. Local storage is usually 5MB and can fill up fast. The Chrome application stockpiles all data gathered in the local storage. A widespread reason for slow browsing speed is limited local storage in Google Chrome. If you do not have WiFi, you won’t be able to access any web pages. A stable Internet connection is essential for browsing the web. The most frequent issue related to slow loading times on Chrome is an unstable Internet connection. This section will discuss five main reasons web pages have a slow load time. In these times, the browsing experience can be very frustrating.

At the conclusion of the session, the applicant should be provided an applicant transaction identifier (ATI) number, a number used to identify the transaction. The live scan operator checks the applicant’s identification, inputs the applicant’s personal descriptor information, captures the applicant’s fingerprints electronically, and transmits the data to the DOJ. In California, fingerprinting must be performed by a certified fingerprint roller or qualified law enforcement personnel. The applicant completes the form with his/her personal information and takes the form to a live scan operator where the applicant must provide the appropriate identification. The background check process begins when an applicant agency provides an applicant with a BCIA 8016, REQUEST FOR LIVE SCAN SERVICE form. Employment and licensing authorities may also face legal liability if applicants with specified active arrests or convictions are employed or licensed when statute prohibits such action based on the successful completion of a criminal background check. Entrusting applicants with the responsibility of the position prior to a criminal background check potentially jeopardizes the safety and integrity of the workplace and may leave some individuals exposed to unnecessary harm. As such, it is vital for the hiring or licensing authority to be aware of specified active arrests or convictions. These applicants are often candidates for positions that place them in a position of trust for some of California’s most vulnerable citizenry, elderly, and dependent adults and children. ![]() Securing a criminal background check prior to employment, licensure, or certification provides a hiring or licensing authority an important resource, which aids in the evaluation of the applicant. DOJ technicians process approximately 2 million state level background checks and 1.2 million federal level background checks annually. Today there are over 45,000 agencies authorized to perform background checks. Consequently, the number of requests for criminal background checks continues to increase exponentially. In the past few years there has been a heightened awareness of the availability of criminal background checks to aid in regulatory hiring decisions. While all criminal background check requests must be authorized by statute, some are mandatory while others are permissive. RAP sheets are based upon fingerprint submissions, and therefore positively identified biometrically a process by which a person's unique identity is confirmed.Īuthorized by California statute, the DOJ has processed State of California and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) fingerprint-based background checks for decades. The DOJ uses this information to compile records of arrest and prosecution, known as “RAP sheets,” for individuals and disseminates the information for law enforcement and regulatory (employment and licensing) purposes. In this capacity, sheriff, police and probation departments, district attorney offices, and courts submit arrest and corresponding disposition information. The California Department of Justice (DOJ) is mandated to maintain the statewide criminal record repository for the State of California. |
