Welcome / open talk

Just found this site and am overwhelmed with info...

Was looking for downloadable campgrounds poi's and found this

The Ultimate RV Parks & Campgrounds Directory
http://www.coolrvtoyz.com/content/ultimate-rv-parks-campgrou...

It's $49.95, do any of you have experience with it?

Any other recommendations?

Thanks,

Andrew

Like most, I was having a real hard time enjoying satellite radio (and GPS announcements) from the fm transmitter in my StreetPilot 7200. FM stations were constantly washing out the garmin’s transmitter.

I drive hundreds (sometimes over 1000) miles a week and greatly rely on my Garmin.

If one checks a route on Google Earth along the Trans Canada Hwy entering Manitoba from Ontario, it shows two restaurants right at the border. Smitty's Pancake House and a McDonald's.

Don't plan on eating there although there is a friendly Tourist info centre and truck scales at that location.

I have to say,, I have not really looked at some of my older messages from when I 1st started on this site ( around 3/5/07) and read some of my old messages.. I sure learned alot and also helped out many users here.. i see users names at use to be new users like me but now have all the great awards..

Hi All,

Does anyone know of a "Mac" software app. to customize TTS voices?

Thanks for your time.

Where is Dog Poop?
Did he succumb to the pressure to change his name?

Hi All: I am leaving on a 4 week driving trip to the mid west and thanks to all of you who helped me set things up. I believe I have all the custom poi's loaded properly and working properly in my new garmin 760. I am anxious to ust it on the long trip. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks again for all the help I received.

In my travels around the US I have seen a lot of windmills. I checked the list and I don't see a POI file for windmills.
I am now retired as a long haul trucker but am willing to help on such a file.

Is there anyway the Tele Atlas maps can be used in a Garmin. I thought maybe someone may have come up with a work around.
I have begged and pleaded for 3 years to get my Garmin maps updated with my neighborhood streets shown and they still have not even in the latest update.

I've had my Garmin 660 for about 6 weeks now. Just came across this site. Read tons of posts, etc. Very informative!

Hello everyone. Been lurking for awhile. I finally got my Nuvi 750 the other day and can't put it down.. Thanks for everyones input. I was able to find answers to every question I have had.

I did a quick search, didnt see this anywhere in the forums. I originally got an email telling me about a free google 411 service. I was skeptical. However, i graduated with a few people who work for google.

Recently bought a 260W, first GPS. Has helped numerous times when we are out cruising on the bike looking for gas stations in the countryside.

Spent a couple hours on this site and learned a lot about POIs. Have successfully downloaded a number of useful ones with help and advice from having read a number of informative postings. Great site, great bunch of users.

Thanks to all.

Think I may have posted incorrectly a few minutes ago. I just found this site and joined. Fairly new to GPS (currently have garmin nuvi 260) and the thought of adding points of interests that are not in they current unit intregues me!!
I apologize to Major as I did not intend to hi-jack his thread, so I am posting here to make sure I get to the right place?

a new era of GPS is about to be introduced in September by Blaupunkt

Good Evening,
Just wanted to say hi!

I am impressed with the site and I hope to be a contibutor real soon.

I live in Yuma Arizona and I own a Garmin 660.

Thanks
