March was a work month! We were working In Arizona. With two major rallies (FMCA and Escapade), 3 local computer clubs, and one week at an RV resort, we did a lot of teaching! - 5 different
venues
- 8 different topics (Smartphones, Google Photos, Google Maps, Google Blogger, Smartphone photography, Technology for Travelers, Technology to Tell Your Stories, Android Tips/Tricks)
- 24 Class Sessions
- 3,000 attendees
More photos of our month are on our March Photo Album. Check out our latest news
in our personal blog post:
By the way, our pictures, Blogs, Web Albums, maps, and videos are all examples of what we teach. You can learn how to plan, preserve, and share your travels (or your life.) It makes the experience that much more enjoyable to get creative and share pictures, maps, stories, and movies with friends and family. Check out our Learning Library of Tutorial Videos, just go to GeeksOnTour.com and click the menu for Tutorial Videos. There are plenty of free videos in addition to our members only content to whet your appetite for learning. |

So Many Weather Apps! Pick One and Learn. |
I think having too many choices is bad. The best app (or software, or phone, or …) is the one you know how to use, and use it well. Just pick one! Then use it. Explore the settings, explore the menus, experiment, read the Help screens.
For example, I picked The Weather Channel as my app. It works the same on my iPhone as it does on my Android devices. When I first open it, I’ve learned to just
scroll down (swipe up on the screen) until I see what I want – Radar screen, for example. When I keep scrolling down, just below Radar & Maps is an option for Road Conditions. I tap on that and get a map, then I tapped on the Layers button image and see all sorts of choices. |

This article explains what is happening and how to override the default view. |
