Playgrounds on the road

Here is a summary of good, well constructed public playgrounds that we've sought out on our travels with young children.  They are split into 6month-2yr, and 2yr+.  Each pin has a brief description and may have some photos.


The purpose of this collection of playgrounds is to help provide a useful resource to other parents who may have a 2 year old shouting "Park" every 5 minutes of a 14 hour drive.  The parents (or children) have no affliation or association with the parks listed.  They appear to all be public accessible play grounds provided by the municipalities.

If you would like to contribute to this map of playgrounds, please forward an email to playgrounds [at] dtmc [dot] ca with a description and photographs.

Garmin 60SCx, Mint 16 and qlandkarte

Garmin 60CSx used to just work... but as of U12.04/Mint 16 it isn't recognised without some tinkering...

1) Create file: /etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules  and add:
  ATTR{idVendor}=="091e", ATTR{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
2) Restart udev :
 sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
3) replug the Garmin
4) start qlandkarte

(If you mucked about with the qlandkarte device settings, select "Garmin" and remove anything from the "Serial Port" parameter box.)
