Cuyamaca Rancho State Park

Cuyamaca Rancho State Park is a state park in California, USA, located 40 miles (64 km) east of San Diego in the Laguna Mountains of the Peninsular Ranges. The park's 26,000 acres (11,000 ha) feature pine, fir, and oak forests, with meadows and streams that exist due to the relatively high elevation of the area compared to its surroundings.

The park includes 6,512-foot (1,985 m) Cuyamaca Peak, the second-highest point in San Diego County. (Map / Trip route Card created with #Triptagger)

Park amenities include trails for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking, as well as campgrounds for family, group, equestrian, and primitive trail camping; as well as an exhibit at a former gold mine, the Stonewall Mine.

Tax deduction for moving expenses

Federal tax laws allow you to deduct your moving expenses if your relocation relates to starting a new job or a transfer to a new location for your present employer. The biggest moving hurdle, practically and tax-wise, is the distance test. Not everyone will qualify for this type of tax deduction, but the Internal Revenue Service has basic rules.

One is what it calls the “distance test,” which is a requirement that your new home is located at least 50 miles further than your prior work location was from your old home. How can you show that? Trip Tagger!

Trip Tagger App

TripTagger automatically records drives and shows cost per trip & tax refund values. View & tag trips in the app and export a Mileage Record Log for tax, private or business expenses.  + Keep a precise mileage log for tax deductions (IRS compliant)  + Track your miles for private or business reimbursement.  + Record how much time you spend driving for the neighborhood carpool.  + Share your drives with friends and family.  + Save the new route you discovered

Keeping track of your mileage is not worth the time and effort? We think so too. That’s why we automated it! Let your smart-phone do the work. If you’re smart, use TripTagger on your phone.

How did Trip-Tagger come up with the cost shown for each trip you take? Each vehicle category takes into account the average fuel consumption, vehicle maintenance costs, tires, full-coverage insurance, registration fees/taxes, vehicle depreciation (loss of value over time) and finance charges (interest) when calculating the total cost per trip.

Download TripTagger for FREE on the App Store and Google Play to start logging mileage & sharing adventures today!

Israeli firefighters use Google Maps to help save lives

Using Google Earth Enterprise as our main GIS mapping platform, each call center operator has two screens -- one displaying information from the national system, and the other displaying maps with Google Earth.

Google Earth maps, with customized data layers, are automatically updated in real-time to show exactly where fires are and which firefighters are the closest to them. What used to take minutes now takes seconds".
