Abstract: A computing device includes a display, a logic machine, and a storage machine holding instructions executable to display a map via the display, and associate a note with location data defining a geographic location. The note is associated with an annotation displayable on the map. The annotation is associated with a location parameter defining a map location at which the annotation is displayed on the map corresponding to the geographic location associated with the note. The annotation is associated with a zoom parameter defining one or more map zoom levels at which the annotation is displayed on the map. The annotation is associated with a context parameter defining one or more computing device contexts with which the annotation is displayed on the map. A notification corresponding to the note is presented based on the computing device being located within a threshold distance of the geographic location.

Abstract: A hand-held apparatus for projecting a line across an intermediate span includes a launching tube having one end connected to a source of propellant gas energy for launching a projectile, the other end forming an open muzzle adapted to receive and fire a line deploying projectile. The projectile is releasably attached to one end of the line attached to a source of line connected to the launch tube and containing a supply of line to be payed out during the flight of the projectile. An axially-mounted laser sighting device connected to the launch tube for sighting the tube in on a remote target for the projectile is also provided.
