Keeping the Windmill Alive - Your last trip? – May 2013
In danger of losing your windmill?
Maybe you can share with us the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you use it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.)
Anything to keep your windmill alive.
This thread will be closed on the last day of the month and a new one will be opened.

GPS/Navigation feature built into your car?
I just took delivery of a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with UConnect 8.4AN--a gps system that appears, so far, to be a very good unit. Are there any other POI Factory folks who have/anticipate having such a system built into your car?

Mobile Hotspots
Does anyone have a suggestion for a mobile hotspot provider that isn't on a full service monthly basis or isn't using the Sprint Network for their service? The best one I found was TruConnect but it uses the Sprint Network. I have been a Sprint user for years but not impressed with their coverage.

New Message Question
Is there any way on POI-F to jump to the newest post in a thread that is over one page long? I am able to just click on the word new in a post and it will work and jump to the newest posting as long as the post is no longer than one page. Now after the thread reaches one page it will jump to the page but you then have to scroll down to through the messages and just pick one to start reading.

New Forum: Rand McNally Talk
We’ve had a lot more Rand McNally users visiting the site, so Jon and I setup a forum for them -- the “Rand McNally Talk” discussion group.
Yesterday, we moved all the topics that seemed to pertain to Rand McNally GPSs to that area.
