Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link, I learned a few things...never hurts to be more informed. Does the 20 min. under an open sky really help??

Thanks for the link, interesting stuff

the free maps for international travel will be cool to try on mynext rrip to China to see where i am going. looking forward to seeing how it works

Helpful site. But I guess that they never heard about us, at the POI Factory. They mention two other sites to find POIs but not us. I thought everybody has heard of Miss POI and all their hard work on POI files.

I haven't tried it yet but in the past I looked for topo maps for Colorado for hiking and couldn't find any so I'll give this site a try.

It's indirectly listed twice. Go to the 'POI Resource Page' link under 7. Look under 'forums' and 'online sources of POIs'. I checked this before I posted it.

Thanks very much for the post. I am a semi-newbie to GPS, and am trying to get up to speed on all of the available features on these GPS units. The article was very informative.

Thanks for the link to the gps tips

I went in and looked at some of the Interstate Rest Areas locations - the coordinates are identical to the revised coordinates (entrance ramps) in the POI Factory Rest Areas Combined locations and even have the exact Names and Facilities structure !
Well, at least they know where the best is !

I have researched this and have taken steps to get that removed.

Thank you Ken for bringing this to my attention.

Miss POI

this is, in by far the best POI website available on the net. I looked at those on the aforementioned site, and immediately came back to this one, they are very, very small, compared to "POIfactory" and it should have been mentioned!

Lets keep this site a secret!

I think with over 86000 users there is no secret anymore.

Thanks for the information. As a newbie, I need all the help I can find. This site is great. Thanks to all the veteran users who share what they've learned. Heaven knows the manual is about worthless.

Thanks, one can never have too much information.

Yes it does on the first almanac load, then when ever you see your GPSr is locking slowly. With a slow satellite lock you have to reload the data from minimum of three satellite. with your GPSr looking at an open spot (no trees or obstuctions)for 20 minutes sitting motionless. You can also tell that you need to do this while driving and the roads are not quit synced.
