    I got a tingling sensation, when I saw the news about this video. It will have to wait a little longer, since I am on parental leave at the moment, but once I return to the office, this will be closely watched. Current gas prices make it harder for you and your fellow colleagues to record these videos, so I am twice as grateful for the quality content you deliver

    • @unclecoolie
      @unclecoolie  2 роки тому

      Thanks. The gas prices did cost me a lot more than I was expecting. Normally, a trip like this would cost about $150 or so, but I spent well above $300 for this trip.

    I have a few suggestions for some future road trips:
    -A straight up northbound road trip from Texas to North Dakota.
    -A series of short driving trips around the US territories
    - A full Route 66 road trip
    - A trip starting at Washington DC, and then going all the way around close to the perimeter of the continental United States, and then ending back at Washington DC. So maybe something like Washington DC, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, lower New Hampshire, Maine, upper New Hampshire, Vermont, upper New York, upper Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, upper part of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and then finally back to Washington DC.

Lastly, why did you go through New Orleans instead of taking 12 directly to Baton Rouge? Thanks for sharing these with us!

    I like the 7:05am start. There is something to be said for the scenery of a drive starting early in the day, closer to dawn the better. Google says dawn was at 6:46am & sunrise at 7:13am so you beat the sunrise.
    Edit: Around 3 hours in, I see you beat dawn on the second day.

    • @unclecoolie
      @unclecoolie  2 роки тому +1

      I like to get an early start when I do long road trips. I tried timing it so that it is already starting to get light out when I begin my drives. I had made a mistake in planning the 2nd day of this trip in that I underestimated how long it would take me to drive from Montgomery to San Antonio, which is why I left much earlier than sunrise that day.
      An another note: the spring equinox was at 11:33AM EDT on the first day of this drive.

    I'd like to see you drive to Boston again, but don't take i95 north all the way, only take it upto new york past Bronx and then get on Merritt/Wilbur cross parkway and head on to i84 east until u reach i90 east/mass pike and head 50ish miles for Boston. Much more scenic drive this way and alot shorter than if u head there via Providence. Also the road is 3 lanes all the way on each side totaling 6 except for Merritt parkway but that's 4 total lanes for 30ish miles. If u have Waze u can use that to also go to Boston, Waze recommends that route, I used it to go to Boston a week ago.

      I can't put the total distance covered because, for some reason, each time the camera is shut off (at pit stops usually), it resets the distance counter back to zero. I used to still show the current distance, and then added a text box below showing the total distance covered up until the last reset. But I also discovered that sometimes the accuracy of the distance covered is off. That's why I don't show distance anymore.

    How Do You Put That Map On There.

    • @unclecoolie
      @unclecoolie  2 роки тому

      The white route line is generated by the camera's software, and I create the map overlay separately based on the routing of the white line.

    What kind of setup do you use to overlay the navigation related information on the video?

    • @unclecoolie
      @unclecoolie  2 роки тому +1

      I do all of the editing with Final Cut Pro. The GPS information comes from the Virb software that the Garmin Virb Ultra 30 uses. I create the graphic overlays, including the skeletal map overlay for the route line (which is generated by Virb). I will eventually make a how-to video of how I create these.

      I have it plugged into the USB port of the car for power, or into a portable cigarette light-to-USB charger that I always bring on my road trips. The battery would die within 2 hours without external power.

    • @unclecoolie
      @unclecoolie  2 роки тому

      The map size is determined by Virb and the white route line that it produces, and is always the same size on my videos. I make the map overlay based on that route line. I could enlarge the map in future videos, but I've already started editing the 2nd day of this one, and I also don't want to take up too much of the screen with the map overlay.
