On all Philadelphia IntelliStars:

Summer:
Pocono Mtns, Pennsylvania (sponsored location)
Atlantic City, NJ
Ocean City, MD

Winter:
Pocono Mtns, Pennsylvania (sponsored location)
Catskill Mtns, NY
Atlantic City, NJ

Prior to late 2007, IntelliStars that did have the getaway here had Atlantic City, Gettysburg, and Washington, DC. My Mount Holly IntelliStar didn't have a getaway until it became a nationwide product in late 2007. Others, such as my Lower Bucks unit, have had it since it came here in the Spring of 2004.

I just noticed, that my getaway cities are arranged differently than they were last summer. It used to be Atlantic City, Ocean City, Pocono Mtns; now it's Pocono Mtns, Ocean City, Atlantic City.

Weird. You're in the Philly DMA so you're getaways should be the same.

I have yet another new Getaway Town, this one is called SauteeNacoochee, Ga. Talk about a wacky name I never even heard of this place and it's in my state! :blink: :wacko: Here's a video, the weather data is unavailable probably because it's just recently been booted into the STAR.

Wow, mine's been the same here since the getaway was introduced to my STAR in late 2007.

My cities used to be
Niagara Falls
Toronto, Canada
and Mackinac Island

before they were changed by 2008 to what they are now. I would rather Niagara Falls replace Frankenmuth.

Basically everyone who does not live near the edge of the state (Alpena, Port Huron, south Detroit, and Grand Rapids down to Benton Harbor) or in the UP has these sites:

Winter:
Gaylord, MI
Orlando, FL
Frankenmuth, MI

Summer:
Sandusky, OH
Mackinac Island, MI
Frankenmuth, MI

Prior to 2008, Toronto was on the Getaway. It was then replaced with Frankenmuth. South Detroit and Port Huron still have it though.
