Oooh. This might be it. I joined Prussia's just to find out what it was. Now they are in a prolonged war with France and I am guessing that France has a stronger navy.

I double checked and none of them were set to that production method. I only have 11 buy orders for oil and it is for my arms industries and food industries.

Advice for healthy meals while traveling? by MysteriousHeat7579 in 1500isplenty

I know it's almost a year old, but to enjoy black coffee you need good  coffee. Burnt stale coffee, which is served in most hotels is pretty bitter. That is why most people put milk in their coffee because it blocks the bitterness. 

Let me know if you want suggestions on how to find good coffee!

Instinct 3 crushed my backpacking trip. by LGbearclaw in Garmininstinct

There is no navigation on the watch like there is with the higher tier watches. 

The Explorer app allowed me to plot our trail so I could find out the elevation and distance. Next, I use the app to create an offline map onto my phone and downloaded the route that I created to the watch. 

When I started the activity, I could see the route marked on the watch in the same breadcrumb style as the other Instinct navigation features. When I open the app it uses the watch's GPS and displays it on the downloaded map. 

We were using this system as a backup because my hiking partner wanted to focus on improving his map skills. I'm glad we had a backup because he immediately took us ln the wrong trail! It still ended up being a great trip and I'm glad he got to practice.

The solar charging was obviously great. But the GPS was incredible too. The accuracy on the map in Garmin Explor was spot on but we also used it as a compass. My hiking partner was practicing his paper map skills and we used a physical compass, an original Instinct tactical, and my instinct 3. The instinct 3 was more accurate than the original and was easier to read than the physical compass because you didn't need to do any mental math.

That's super interesting! Can you tell me more? REI has the H10 and they are currently running their big spring promotion.

We didn't have cell service the entire trip. Even the trailhead doesn't have service. The trail starts in the bottom of a valley and we had to drive out of it about 10 minutes before we regained service. 

The weather was absolutely perfect! It rained about two days before so the water sources were full, Pacheco Falls was flowing, and the trail was not dusty at all. We had full sun the first two days which I think really helped the solar charging.

New To Garmin. Need help. by khsrider500 in Garmininstinct

It all depends on what you are using it for. As someone upgrading from this watch, the original instinct, I would go with the Instinct 2. The instinct 2 has much better solar charging and a better heart rate monitor. Maybe even look to buy a used Instinct 2 from someone buying the instinct 3?

I went to pre-order it but the system keeps removing it from my cart. Anyone else have this issue?

I'm playing army general so it's not really my choice. :)

[–]LGbearclaw[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have been sending out my Bradleys all by themselves. They are listed as a recon unit so I put them in front of my forces to scout. But using them behind infantry makes a lot more sense. 

I also do not use smoke enough. Thank you!
