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.

Technology advances thereby affecting forum usage. Recently I ran across a "Civil War Trails" Android application put out by the State of Maryland that conceptually "wipes out" my North Carolina "Civil War Trails" POI project.

NOW in NYC they've installed bus lane cameras. if you in a designated bus lane you will get a $90 ticket

The St. Louis county police chief agreed most speed camera are for profit. I'm in favor speed camera in school and work zone. Go Chief Finch. I'm 100% behind you.

“On Tuesday, during a visit to Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation to allow autonomous vehicles to operate on the state’s roads. The tools that the car uses to drive, including radar and GPS tracking, help manage traffic flow by maintaining a constant speed and can even help reduce the necessary gap between cars.”

This round-about is new. Traffic proceeds as if it is an intersection. Through traffic encounters 2 intersections and later a merge point. An opportunity exists for T-Bone crashes. I was southbound. A W/B motorist zipped straight through ahead of me at about 45 mph.

I notice today while coming back from Miami on I-75 Northbound at some entry and exit ramps between Naples and Punta Gorda cameras mounted very low and close to the ramp.

This week, we're recognizing pmhennessey and nv_ham!

Pmhennessey has been a user for several years and maintains the Ohio Wineries & Vineyards file. He also recently offered to assist a newer member by sending him a GTM20 cord and cradle that he was no longer using. Many of us were touched by this act of generosity. Thanks Pmhennessey!

This is the place to talk about things that are not gps related.

Have fun...

This week, we're recognizing jgermann.

Over the past couple of weeks, he's been reading through all of the FAQ pages and helping spot out-dated information and other things that needed a little attention.

In particular, there were a lot of references to the way old versions of POI Loader functioned that are no longer true with more recent versions.

Thanks jgermann!

I am a new user and I have a few questions I hope someone can help me with. 1, is this the only way to post. 2 what exactly is red light camera. And 3 I have tried to down load a file but see no place on POI that lets me download I am using a iPhone at the moment.
Thanks for your help

I just got a Garmin 3590LMT, and I hope to add something to the community. Dunno what it could be though.

Just joined, and am new to GPS's and POI's; any tips are appreciated.

Thanks!

I've been looking at this new Canon point and shoot. It's not perfect but it might be handy when I didn't feel like dragging the big camera along. One nice feature is the GPS. One bad feature is no viewfinder.
