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?

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 do too actually! Which one did you get? I got a Garmin c330.


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.

on mine, you go into "Where To?" then "Address" , then "Show Map", then "Save"

Same here, but grove 4 doesn't have an address!

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.
