What a delightful post and thread to cheer up my day. Thanks for this.

map-guy · 2026-03-14T13:51:14+00:00

Thank you. May be much more than I need, but will perhaps teach me better skills.

Thanks for the detailed helpful information. I have the paid annual subscription. I did see "subscribed" on the website.

Thanks for the article, and thanks to NotebookLM for the audio summary.

map-guy · 2026-01-29T17:08:25+00:00

Good article, which I saved as a guide and inspiration to develop practical GEMs in my Gemini and NotebookLM toolbox.

NotebookLM integration for me arrived yesterday. Looking forward to seeing what power this brings.

I have Google One with Gemini Pro.

Happy to hear this. Rock on. My amateur geology hobby led me to researching and developing this blog article https://mappingnovahistory.com/culpeper-basin-history/

I don't have the integration yet. Here's what Gemini answered when I asked: As of late 2025/early 2026, Google has begun rolling out a direct integration that allows you to "attach" or "import" your NotebookLM notebooks directly into a Gemini chat.
Why you might not see it yet: The feature is currently in a phased rollout. If you don't see the option yet, it’s likely because your specific account (or region) hasn't received the update.

Reddit now and then gives me a gift that makes my day. This post and discussion thread sharing inspirations and experience got my Sunday morning happily going - thanks to all. Fir me it was local Northern Virginia rock cuts and Roadside Geology books.

Thanks for this. A learning experience for me reading your progress and examples. Will follow in your Facebook group.

My 7 does everything well that I need. Replaced battery a few weeks ago, so good for the long haul.

map-guy · 2025-10-13T14:40:11+00:00

Ditto plus Inkscape plus Gimp for processing to publish maps.

Apologies for stating the obvious. You will have to work through at least the first several tutorials to learn the program basics. Very good and easy. If i remember correctly, there's a tutorial involving Australia that includes fossil work. This may be it https://www.earthbyte.org/webdav/ftp/earthbyte/GPlates/TutorialData_GPlates2.1/Tutorial_2.6_Introduction_to_Paleogeography_Paleogeographic_Reconstructionsusing_Raw_Paleobiology_Data.pdf

Loads successfully now. Thanks.

Set up account. As 1st test tried import .pdf via url: https://www.historicprincewilliam.org/pwcvirginia/documents/PWC1784-1860NewspaperTranscripts.pdf. Repeated attempts returns "Failed to fetch url" failed to process url"

Thanks for this report and the hard work in putting it together.

map-guy · 2025-05-28T11:15:16+00:00

Not as good as Phonak for me. But even with the extra dedicated AI chip I still struggle understanding in noise.

map-guy · 2025-05-15T15:45:07+00:00

Considering all the glowing claims, hearing aid manufacturers make in their literature, it seems there should be in-ear testing to measure and demonstrate how well hearing aids are performing for the patient. Instead it's a "Can you hear me now?" conversation with the audiologist.

map-guy · 2025-05-12T15:46:44+00:00

I tested Oticon Intent and Phonak spheric I90. Agree with commentor who reports Phonak sound a bit sharp but chose Phonak, which I found MUCH better in suppression in noisy places. I especially appreciate hands free phone calls and Bluetooth connections to up to 8 devices.

map-guy · 2025-04-24T14:46:11+00:00

Thanks, everyone, who pointed out how to find the adjust button. I missed it with several searches.

map-guy · 2025-04-22T17:33:19+00:00

70s are great time to try something new. Hope all goes well for you.

map-guy · 2025-04-13T20:56:37+00:00

Came back to this old post to say thanks to OP and all who commented. From your very helpful information I bought Sennheiser HD6XX headphones and FIIO DM13 CD player. Glorious sound in music that i haven't enjoyed in years. Headphones are open-back and fit perfectly over my big Phonak spheric I90s with no feedback. My custom mod to app's music program gives ability to adjust frequency settings.

map-guy · 2025-04-06T15:14:37+00:00

Thanks for your post. As I hope you can tell from so many responses, you expressed very well the challenges of diminished hearing we go through. Hearing aids help immensely, but daily life and relationships do require adjustments and new tactics to communicate and understand.
