Strange isn't it? https://www.name-doctor.com/name-Cha...alo-46764.html germanic / latin NAME ROOT: *GUNTHO / *GUNşIZ SALVUS / SAIWALA GUNDISALVUS MEANING: This name derives from the Medieval Latin and Germanic (Visigoth) name "Gundisalvus", composed of two elements: the Germanic element "guntho / *gunşiz\u201d (battle, fight, act of killing, blow, to strike) plus the Latin word \u201csalvus\u201d (safe, well, unharmed, untouched, saved, healthy, intact). The second element, however, could also be attributed to the Germanic (Gothic) "saiwala", meaning "soul, spirit". The popular meaning is "one who assists in battle". Saint Gonzalo (or Gundisalvus) (~1040\u20131108), a medieval Galician nobleman and clergyman, was the long-serving Bishop of Mondoñedo from 1071. Do you suppose those E. Indians are speaking Latin? -- cheers, John B. |

Even when I have a GPS going, unless I'm mindlessly following the instructions of the electronic lady inside the thing, it's sometimes nice to know which direction I'm pointing. Google Maps makes a guess, but it's plus or minus about 60 degrees. The compass on the dash of my car has been quite handy at times, and the ones on each bike have been even more useful. -- - Frank Krygowski |

Once I'd gotten around to knotting the string. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ I use dividers on my topographical maps. The only problem sometimes is that the maps don't show newer roads or disused roads are overgrown and not really visible from the road I'm on. That's where I want a very accurate bicycle computer. ABck in the 1980s I loved my Cateye computer (either the Cateye Solar or the Cateye Micro depending on which bike I was using) as they were so accurate measuring distance traveled. The Cateye Solar even had an alarm function that could be set for distance. Thus, I could set the alarm for the distance to the next road and the computer would beep when that distance was covered. It sure made it easier to find those overgrown roads. Usually it was just the entrance to the road that was overgrown and once past that and on the road it wasn't too bad if you had wide tires such as the 26" x 2.125" knobby tires I used and use on logging/mining roads in Northern Ontario Canada.

It is one datafield on my GPS based cycling computer.In the map screen there is always an arrow visible pointing to the north: https://photos.app.goo.gl/U81c9afmiqmHeBkr7 Lou |
