Thanks from me also. Your site really helped get me going. I knew diddley about custom POI before being introduced to same on your site. Your redlight alert for home is in and ready to be tested.

I appreciate all the Welcomes and Thanks.
The Garmin nuvi Tricks, Tips, Work Arounds ... etc. is a work in process with lots more information to be posted. I may have another article up this week but the rest will have to wait until I get back from Alaska. I'm leaving on Friday. Of course, I'm gonna take my Garmin nuvi 650 with me.
I'm hoping that "Trick & Tips" WEB site will be of value to users -- especially the new owners of nuvi GPSrs and the owners who want to take their useage up a notch.

Very good tips...
I liked the one that use off-road option to find your car in the parking lot. Very nice indeed...and thanks.
Sound file replaced. Articles added
I got an e-mail from a POI fan who said that was enjoying the Garmin Tricks and Tips web site but he couldn't get one of the sound files to download from the 'OH, GIVE ME A HOME - Fun Use of a Proximity Alert' article in the POI area.
I did a quick check and discovered that the file was corrupted and I uploaded a fresh file to the server.
If anyone has had trouble with that file, please try again. It's fun for your sound playing nüvi.
I've also uploaded two other POI articles of interest.
