Don't really know what to do with this info, but the location of the DQ in Elko, NV is off by about a mile. My Nuvi 765T had me headed down a dirt road to nowhere. The actual address for the DQ is 376 11th St, Elko, NV, 89801. When I looked up that address on Google maps, it is accurate, but I don't know how to get the GPS coordinates for it.
Is there a post somewhere on this forum or site that explains what to do with this type of information?

tsnetflyer,
Not sure what poi file that you are using. The location shown in the present file has the coordinates as
-115.757152w 40.837143n
This is essentially at the location of that DQ. Maybe you were using the built in poi's?
Looks right to me also

I have to agree, these coordinates when plugged into Google Earth put you on the intersection right in front of the DQ

Mahoney,

I checked the file with EPE for duplicates. The location is wrong for this entry.
