How did you find the POI factory?

I think I was probably looking for a Red Light Camera database when I first came here. I may have heard of such a thing on the geocaching.com forums. I'm really not sure how I ended up here - it was too long ago and I don't have enough remaining brain cells to remember..........

garmin.com . . . looking for software updates and stumbled on this "new" (to me) software called POI Loader. did some looking, got hooked, here i am!

Garmin.com linked me to you

when I got my 650. I went on a hunt for a good site and found this one.

I was on the search for a srf file for my nuvi of a trailblazer. another member replied to my post directing me here to the post with all the srf files in it. While there was not a trailblazer i did find many cool poi files, the redlight camera poi file was what pushed me over the edge enough to join in on the forums

I was searching online for a new GPS,I found this site. I had never heard of POI's that you could install to your device!! Much Knowledge here..Awesome site I come here often!!!!!

I was cruising hot babes on the 'net and I saw Miss POI's pic, hit the site and bought a GPS soon after in hopes she would notice my pimped rig. Alas, she's hooked to JM and my dream was trashed. But now in love with my rig...a happy ending!

That's my story, sad but true.

I too found this site through Google. I was looking for some custom POI files and I'm so glad I found POI Factory. On top of all the custom POI files I have learned a great more about my Nuvi from all the wonderful members contributing, Thank You all!!

Seeing it on Garmin age. they had some goods sites and went tru them all until i came to this one.. Best site I ever saw and hope it doent change to much.

I like the way it is set up.. you can find info very easy (much easyer than the "other" sites.

And the people! what a great bunch.. No real ragging and other talk. i like it.

Thanks to everyone that mzkes it like home and we are all family (maybe should break out in song? We are family, all my brother, siters and me! ... na..) hehe

ok lets keep it up!

Ran across the POI Factory on garmin.com, and can say I haven't been sorry about becoming a member and learning alot of valuable information.

Simple google search for poi. Best find ever. Wonderful site.

I found this site through a link at the POI forum at GPSReview.net. I was looking for a rest area POI and the link took me to this wonderful site.

Found it when I was doing a search for various POI files.

I was reading about the new PN-40 gps coming out. Saw on that news page a section on neat tips and tricks for Topo7 USA. Love this site, keep up the great work.

I found this site at Garmin.com.

I do not remember. It has been so long ago. Maybe I heard Larry King on CNN say something about the POI Factory. I Google it and there it was. I have been here ever since.

i did a google search for gamin poi and here i am .

I googled POI

Found it on the Garmin website.

I was doing a google search for Custom POI and found POI factory. It's the best!

As I remember I saw POI mentioned on the Garmin site and then used Google to learn more and found the POI Factory. I have certainly learned a lot since then. The highlights have been the red light camera data and ability to change voice responses.

don't rememeber.

...Red Light Camera POI websearching on Yahoo!

He found a poi factory in Hawaii.....

Found it on the garmin website...

Hi,

I actually found this site while searching for POI's. Although I've only been here a short period of time, I can see this site is loaded with an abundance of GPS information.

So far POI-Factory seems to be a warm and friendly site made up of a great group of people. I find that refreshing, given all the other sites I've been on that seem to have lost that personal touch.

I'm glad I found POI-Factory and I hope to be a Member, User, Contributor for a long time.

The link on the Garmin site.

For a list of light houses (1 year and 21 weeks ago, apparently, based on my account information)

I can say that I did not use the site that rhyme's with oogle, but that's another story.

My (now, 9 year old) has been into light houses, pirates, ships, treasure or any combination thereof since he could articulate any of them. I wanted to find a couple along the lake and let him see them close up.

That's why, back in October, when I drove around the lake with a friend / co-worker, I had to stop at a few to take pictures.

I got here through garmin.com close to a year ago. I like the HUGE community involvement and interaction.

I love knowing that many of the POIs are contributed by everyone's favorites (as in mom and pop POIs), and real world knowledge (as in red lights, new/closed businesses).

The tidbits and troubleshooting are also fantastic.

I know I will keep learning and contributing here.

I googled for POI files and wound up here.

redirected from garmin.com

Did a google search for POI after I bought my Garmin to try to learn something about the POIs. Been a "happy camper" since.

A little on the WELL DONE side.

A truck driver on the drivers daily log message board website.

I think it was a google search that got me here

mark

me, too!

I was looking on Garmin.com for POI's and there was the link!

I also got from Garmin.com link.

After receiving a Nuvi 660 for X-Mas, I decided to do a Google search for poi's. I checked out several sites but once I got here, there was no need to go any further!

By accident. I was using my Nuvi750 with the Ver4.00 update. When it told me to turn left on 1st St I was already past the intersection. So I went to the nest intersection and turned left. And WOW there it was on my right, "Kip Youngs POI Factory". I was so overjoyed I almost cried. There it was my very first POI Factory. Their specialty was one finger POI, although they do sell some two finger POI.

I am glad to see you all must feel the same as I did when you found the POI Factory. It certainly was a great day in my life. As I see it was in yours.

God Bless You ALL!!!

Can't remember if it was a google search or from garmin.

I too was searching for garmin poi

I am new to GPS use and found a link to this site on the Garmin website.

Great content here.

Guess that says it all. But why stop just because I said it already......

I continue to explore other websites, and some are quite interesting technically. In fact, so highly technical that I become lost. Right here at POIFactory I find a nice balance of explanation and information, and a real sense of community. My skills are a work in progress, for sure. I'm never going to be the "guru" of GPS like many at the factory are....but I am one of the many foot soldiers who can applaud accomplishments.

I just found poi-factory on Garmin's Web Site.

I've only been here a little while, but I'm learning fast.

Thanks Guys.

I found the link on GPSPassion.

Motorcycle Mama sent me here from the Zumo forum!! Glad she did!!!!
