I have recently joined this forum and it is interesting to read that others have been there, done that on my problem!

I have obtained a large file in text.csv format.

Hyundai On Board Navigation System Updates

I'm buying a slightly used Hyundai Sonata with on-board navigation. I was curious if there's a way to update the maps or software without paying a large fee to the Hyundai Service Department. I'm especially interested in adding red light camera and speed camera poi's. Anyone with information on these systems (e.g.

Car navigation systems

Does anyone know of any cars that one can download a poi file? I checked Toyota/Lexus and Honda/Acura and none of their cars can do it.

Also, I want to be able to download to the car navigation system the addresses from my phone contact list. They all seem to download only the phone numbers and keep them in a separate database than the navigation system.

Thanks.

Volvo In-Dash Navigation System

I recently rented a Volvo C70 with the in-dash navigation system while traveling in Europe. Other than needing assistance to change the language to English, I did not have any problems using it as it was similar to my in-dash BMW unit, (which addmittedly is not easy for first-time users). Volvo uses NAVTEQ maps and (according to their website) offers two free map upgrades, a very nice feature.

Microsoft Streets and Trips

Microsoft Streets and Trips loves GPX files. I do all the trip planning for my group using using Streets and Trips. Can we start a forum for Streets and Trips and can we have an Upload / Download section devoted to Streets and Trips POI files?

Kia GPS

Got the new Kia Optima with Navigation. I'm very pleasantly surprised by the ease of use and quality of navigation.

I've used navigation before on Nissans, GM vehicles, etc., and they all had UI issues. This is a lot better. Still not as good as Garmin, but much much better.

ONSTAR FMV

For non GM cars. After buying it for around $80,
You get to pay $18.99 a month for basic, or $28.99 a month for the works.

I think I'll keep my Garmin and buy some flares in case of accident. Or join AAA.

NAVMATE AND CUSTOM POI

I'm considering an Advent HU. The unit comes with Navmate GPS software.

Does anyone know if it will accept traffic camera POI files?

The maps are on a 4 Gig SD card but the manual doesn't mention removing the card and using a computer to add anything.

GPS Pet Tracker - Are they worth it?

A company called Snaptracs makes a pet tracking system that uses advanced GPS technology to allow you to keep tabs on your dog. The product is called Tagg - The Pet Tracker. The lightweight tracker attaches to your dog's existing collar and is designed to be worn at all times, even while swimming. Other companies make similar devices and they range anywhere from $140 to $350.

Cydle T43H GPS Receiver With HD Radio

This is interesting. I do like my Garmins, but it is interesting to see what else is out there from time to time. Just out of curiosity, would anybody here even like to see FM or HD radio added to other GPS devices? Is FM even very relevant any longer? Is Digital Traffic really up to 10 times faster than FM RDS?

Loading POI's in a Pioneer AVIC F700 BT

I have been trying to download Poi's into my Pioneer AVIV F700 BT car Navigation head unit and I am about to pull my hair out.
I start by downloading a Poi using the Garmon button. Then use AVIC FEEDS from Pioneer to convert. I have set it using 1.Long.then 2.Lat. then 3.name,and last,4.address.
When I put the SD card into the unit nothing comes up.
Any advice?
Thanks,Jeff

7 inch Screen (that accepts custom POI files)

I'm looking for a GPS with a 7 inch screen to use in my RV. I bought a Magellan Roadmate but it cannot use my custom POI files which makes it useless to me so I took it back to Costco for a refund.

If anyone has or knows of a brand which has a 7 inch model and it accepts custom POI files, I'd appreciate your comments

Can't Import Large .cvs files into Delrome SA

Delorme says I cannot import .cvs files >250 records into SA 2010.

I am a RVer and need the Combined Campgrounds and RV parks POI loaded into my computers' Street Atlas app. I see no easy way to do it except to break the huge POI file into 250 record chunks.

Any advice or workarounds?

TIA for your assistance.

Beware of Lowrance

This is a warning to all about the extremely poor regard that Lowrance has for standing by and supporting its products and its customers. There is something very wrong at that company - I can't for the life of me understand why they would leave so many loyal customers in such a lurch.
