UConnect Navigation: Are your maps updated?
Hey everybody, it’s Preston Flaniken with Stanley Dodge in Gatesville, TX. I’m going to do a quick tutorial on how to find out if your navigation system is the most up-to-date.
What we want to do first is get online and go to driveuconnect.com. Once we've opened up that page we need to look in the upper right hand corner for where it says help and support. Then we are going to click on that and then scroll over or move the cursor over to select a brand. At this point it doesn't matter which brand which choose. So what I'm going to do is choose the Dodge brand. Now we go to the lower right-hand corner on this page and we find map updates. We want to click on map updates. once you're finished loading we get to choose our brand. Now we need to be specific about which brand we're looking for here. I'm going to click on Dodge and we're going to look for a Dodge Durango. There's a Durango. Now it's going for to prompt for the year we're going to choose a 2014 Durango. We get the message indicating that there is a map update available. All we need to do now is follow the instructions to download the update.
Going back we're going to choose a different vehicle this time a Dodge Charger. I'm going to find a 2015 Charger and we get a message it indicates that we have the most recent Map update. As you can see it's a very easy process to find out if your maps are the most recent ones for your navigation system.
Checking to see if you have the most recent maps for your vehicle's navigation system is simple. This tutorial shows you how to check for map updates.

How to Pass a Driver's License Road Test First Time
Do you want to pass a driver's license road test first time? Watch the video to learn how. PASS YOUR ROAD TEST FIRST TIME CHECKLIST: SUBSCRIBE TODAY! ►
#driverstest #smartdrivetest #passfirsttime
On road test day, your job is to take away the driving examiner's right to fail you - nothing more, nothing less. If you've practiced, that job is a simple task.
Driving is NOT a spectator sport, and you must practice to be prepared for road test day. Remember, we do what we practice, so the more you drive in preparation for your road test, the higher probability of success you are going to have on your driver's license road test day.
If you haven’t taken driver training with a driving school, be sure to hire a driving school to take you out on a practice road test.
A driving instructor will identify the gaps in your driving abilities, skills, and knowledge so you will be better prepared. Keep in mind, driving schools teach drivers how to pass a road test every day!
Importantly, if you make a mistake on the road test, move on quickly - do not dwell on the mistake. If you dwell on the mistake, your distraction will cause you to make more mistakes. And some times the driving examiner may not have even seen the mistake.
Speed and space management are the 2 biggest components of a driver's license road test. Be sure to drive the posted speed limit for the speed of the traffic flow - whichever is less. As well, stay away from other traffic, vehicles, road users, pedestrians and fixed objects.
In addition to speed and space management, observation and communication are the other two fundamental components that make up a road test. You must demonstrate to the examiner that you have a scanning pattern that allows you to interpret and predict traffic patterns.
As well, the scanning pattern is looking in the mirrors and monitoring the gauges on the dash of your vehicle.
And for the purposes of observing, you must shoulder check at least twice for every turn and lateral movement. You must shoulder check two times when making lane changes.
When communicating with other traffic, you must activate your turn signal approximately 1/2 block before making a turn.
And it is suggested that you have three flashes on the turn signal before making any lateral movement or lane changes.
To review...the 4 fundamental components of any road test are:
1) speed management
2) space management
3) observation
4) communication
Demonstrate competency in these 4 basic components of the road test, and you will have taken away the examiner's right to fail you.
Good luck on your road test.

Dragnet: Big Escape / Big Man Part 1 / Big Man Part 2
Dragnet is a radio and television crime drama about the cases of a dedicated Los Angeles police detective, Sergeant Joe Friday, and his partners. The show takes its name from an actual police term, a dragnet, meaning a system of coordinated measures for apprehending criminals or suspects.
Dragnet debuted inauspiciously. The first several months were bumpy, as Webb and company worked out the program's format and eventually became comfortable with their characters (Friday was originally portrayed as more brash and forceful than his later usually relaxed demeanor). Gradually, Friday's deadpan, fast-talking persona emerged, described by John Dunning as a cop's cop, tough but not hard, conservative but caring. (Dunning, 210) Friday's first partner was Sergeant Ben Romero, portrayed by Barton Yarborough, a longtime radio actor. After Yarborough's death in 1951 (and therefore Romero's, who also died of a heart attack, as acknowledged on the December 27, 1951 episode The Big Sorrow), Friday was partnered with Sergeant Ed Jacobs (December 27, 1951 - April 10, 1952, subsequently transferred to the Police Academy as an instructor), played by Barney Phillips; Officer Bill Lockwood (Ben Romero's nephew, April 17, 1952 - May 8, 1952), played by Martin Milner (with Ken Peters taking the role for the June 12, 1952 episode The Big Donation); and finally Frank Smith, played first by Herb Ellis (1952), then Ben Alexander (September 21, 1952-1959). Raymond Burr was on board to play the Chief of Detectives. When Dragnet hit its stride, it became one of radio's top-rated shows.
Webb insisted on realism in every aspect of the show. The dialogue was clipped, understated and sparse, influenced by the hardboiled school of crime fiction. Scripts were fast moving but didn't seem rushed. Every aspect of police work was chronicled, step by step: From patrols and paperwork, to crime scene investigation, lab work and questioning witnesses or suspects. The detectives' personal lives were mentioned but rarely took center stage. (Friday was a bachelor who lived with his mother; Romero, a Mexican-American from Texas, was an ever fretful husband and father.) Underplaying is still acting, Webb told Time. We try to make it as real as a guy pouring a cup of coffee. (Dunning, 209) Los Angeles police chiefs C.B. Horrall, William A. Worton, and (later) William H. Parker were credited as consultants, and many police officers were fans.
Most of the later episodes were entitled The Big _____, where the key word denoted a person or thing in the plot. In numerous episodes, this would the principal suspect, victim, or physical target of the crime, but in others was often a seemingly inconsequential detail eventually revealed to be key evidence in solving the crime. For example, in The Big Streetcar the background noise of a passing streetcar helps to establish the location of a phone booth used by the suspect.
Throughout the series' radio years, one can find interesting glimpses of pre-renewal Downtown L.A., still full of working class residents and the cheap bars, cafes, hotels and boarding houses which served them. At the climax of the early episode James Vickers, the chase leads to the Subway Terminal Building, where the robber flees into one of the tunnels only to be killed by an oncoming train. Meanwhile, by contrast, in other episodes set in outlying areas, it is clear that the locations in question are far less built up than they are today. Today, the Imperial Highway, extending 40 miles east from El Segundo to Anaheim, is a heavily used boulevard lined almost entirely with low-rise commercial development. In an early Dragnet episode scenes along the Highway, at the road to San Pedro, clearly indicate that it still retained much the character of a country highway at that time.
