The best way to learn is to read the FAQS
Link is located on top of page and then do a search with the subjects you want to learn about . There is a wealth of info here at POI Factory for everything involving POIs, POI Icons, making your own POI files !

There is a lot of info under "getting started" and "FAQ" sections. Start there first!

I have turned this tread into the new member says hi to the group so that we don't have a number of the same threads.

Great Idea,
I think Asianfire was about to suggest that.

Hello
Hi,
New member here. Recently purchased a Garmin Nuvi 350 and I like it a lot. I'm hoping to add my local red light cameras to the main POI file for those. That is, if they are not already there.

Welcome Chip
Don't be a stranger, and don't be afraid to ask questions...however a lot of the beginning questions are easily answered by reading the "getting started" and "faq" sections. You can probably get by w/o reading all the posts..lol

Note to Newbies
I know when I registered my C330 with Garmin at MyGarmin.com I got an Email from them thanking me and giving me a 10% discount from the Garmin Store..to get Accessories. It is also a great Idea to Register your Garmin, Just in case it is Stolen it is registered to you.

discount
I know I'll be using my discount, I want to get the cord for the comp and a couple of other items.

I just got a c340 for my bike and car, used it for a trip from LI,NY to Mass on sat, it worked great, I found this site when I was trying to figure out this whole POI thing, I was able to create and download a couple of test ones. Thanks
I see other riders here how do you guys tie the unit down, I plan on getting a ram-mount and they seem to recommend a tether but I didn't see them for sale?

Geez, I now know that I live in a small town. By looking at all the poi's and not finding too much for my area I've come to realize I'll have to move to a big city to utilize the full potential of this high tootin gizmo gps thing-a-ma-gig--:}

Hi
Hi and welcome to our really nice group of people!!!

I'm a newbie, too. I bought a Garmin C530 in June and then, just a couple of weeks ago, found this site. Lots of helpful information. I'm not much of a computer whiz, but I managed to put my Airedale's picture in as the splash screen.

I'm now in a small town, but my 350 demands for Starbucks, curses at the red light cameras, and begs for tasting at a winery.

I bet your "small" town has lots to offer!

Maybe your town has more to offer then you know. GPS manufacturers typically only include about 25% of all available POI's. NavTeq and TeleAtlas know of them all, so they ARE out there. But typically, a given GPS won't show them all.
Happy driving!
