Doesn’t need Lifetime Traffic. When he heads down a road traffic parts before him, just to see him pass.

Doesn’t dl POIs. Wherever he goes that becomes the most interesting place to be.

When he calls Garmin, Garmin picks up the phone. After all he just might launch his own GPS Satellite system.

Rather than having multiple threads, like these:

http://www.poi-factory.com/node/39232
http://www.monstercable.com/screenclean/monster_screenclean....

We thought we would merge the monthly GPS Deals/ Bargains and add recommendations.

Please feel free to share any legitimate recommendations for products that might be helpful to our user community.

Remember, sharing is caring!

This is the official POI Factory Joke thread.

It will be closed on the last day of the month and a new one will be opened.

Please read the forum rules before posting.
Have fun....

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.

Looks like threats to GPS navigation are more susceptible to spoofing than from jamming the signals. Drones and vessels at sea are certainly targets, as the article describes, but of more immediate potential impact IMO might be Google's driverless mapping vehicles roaming our streets and highways.

This week we are recognizing, Juggernaut!

Juggernaut has been a member of POI Factory for over five years.
He’s a frequent contributor to a variety of forum discussions and, as I’ve mentioned before, I just love his bouncing elephant avatar.

Hope the elephant doesn’t get jealous of your COW.

I will very shortly be using Alandb cloning method because of the lack of space on my unit’s internal memory. My computer unfortunately doesn’t have an SD card reader so I started looking for an external / portable model.

POI Factory was running slowly and sometimes unreachable for a little while this evening due to network troubles at our web hosting company.

The problem lasted about a half hour and was resolved around 9:15pm Eastern (6:15pm Pacific).

For those of you who had troubles reaching the site, I appreciate your patience.

Thanks,

Jonathan (aka JM)

... a car is not a simple machine of glass and steel but a hackable network of computers, is what Miller and Valasek have spent the last year trying to demonstrate.

Anybody ever went on long trip with android navigation? what's the best android navigation software? is it possible to add poi's into android?

I live in New York City and most of the red light camera intersections I encounter have only 1 camera pointed at a slight angle toward the intersection in question.

Does this 1 camera able to take photos of cars speeding past a red light in all four directions?
