Welcome / open talk

Howdy all.

Here's the scenario:

I was at Chattanooga, Tn. and had to plan a route to Vernon, Ca.

From reading the forum, I discovered that the GPS would not automatically adjust as I crossed time zones.

Now, when I was close to my destination, and I had my GPS set to EST before I left and did not change the time setting, I found that I was going to arrive at my stop in 2 hours.

I was searching the internal POI file on my 1490T for a few local restaurants that I have already added manually. I did this so I could use the Feedback feature built into the unit.

Does anyone use conjunction with 9500 X50?

To my knowledge, technically loading RLC & speedcam database to the unit like what we do in here. Not sure how accurate it as unless someone comes with feedback.

Thanks in advance.

This week we are recognizing Johnm405 for his continued cheerful disposition in the forums.

You are such a delight to have around here;)

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

Have fun...

My Garmin, all of a sudden goes off!, sometimes it comes back on, but when it does, no sound, I then need to reset it 10 sec, voice comes back on, (most of the time),
BTW, this is my 3rd one.
TIA, for any help in this matter

Does anyone know what brands of GPS use the CSV File for the PIO'S Beside's Garmin Thanks for any input

Is anyone planning to give the Ipad 2 with GPS a try? I am wondering how it compares with my Garmin. I think it would be nice for the passenger/navigator to use in 3G mode to switch back and forth between the Internet and GPS to do research on POI's along the way.

WooHoo! My account status just changed to 3 years and 52 weeks. Guess that means I'm just minutes shy of membership in the Four Year Club.

See link. Interesting reading.

A big thanks to RAINSUX for quickly correcting a couple of location errors in my local area in the "Free Business WiFi POI.

A new high-speed wireless network given preliminary approval for installation nationwide could cause severe disruptions to GPS signals, rendering everything from car-navigation systems to jet-flight controls useless.

Hi guys, I recently purchased a Garmin GPS and looking forward to participating in the group!

I updated an existing POI file (Cactus_League_Baseball_Parks.csv) and submitted it via the Upload and share a CSV link.
The file never got posted and it's been around 5 or 6 days. It wasn't my file to begin with but was 2 years old and needed an update.
Was I wrong to update someone else's file?

TGdaily has just posted an article titled "World is too reliant on GPS, warns report"

Does anyone have a POI for the Loop in Daytona Beach, FL

I've been looking at new cars lately. Many of them have built-in GPS's as an option. Can the brand be specified, or are they subcontracted by the vehicle manufacturer? Are the map and red light/speed updates free?
