    Default what is the exact location for the Chicago meet?

    I know it must be hidden in one of the posts here but I couldn't find it.

    I want to enter it in my GPS. (that I just bought for this trip)

    I don't need the exact lat/long. but some cross roads would help.

    Is the location somewhere on the map shown here?

    Thanks

    Here's what i found from the old meet site, it's at the same location. Which one did you get? I got a Garmin c330.

    SR-72, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007

    It's the circle drive farthest to the east on the northside of higgins road.

    I got a refurb Garmin Nuvi 350 for $399 CDN.
    It looks like it's brand new. Probably some guy bought it for one road trip and returned it.

    I located where we have to meet, it appears to be GROVE 4 in Ned Brown Meadow.

    Have a look at lasy year's info: http://www.bimmer.info/~events/

    Now I have to figure out how to add that unknown spot as a FAVOURITE.

    yeah i noticed that, i just need it to take me to 60007, then i'll remember it. I'm sure either me or someone else will have a common (easy) meeting spot off the main road to meet at and then caravan there. I think there's a shell station down the road about a mile or so.
