Any Such Animal?
I'm looking for a GPS unit with both "Reality View" and Dead Reckoning. Does any such animal exist? If so, who makes it? Anyone have any experience with the features?

gps/radar detector
Is there a GPS unit that integrates a radar detector? My friend said he has one that even gives the officers name who is registered to the radar unit.

gulf south rest area versus restareascombined
I am not sure it is important. However, I compared some points in the gulf south rest areas.csv file with the identical point in the RestAreasCombined.csv.txt files. Unfortunately, they do not match.
For example,
-86.509479,30.726753,"REST AREA EB I-10 MM58","RR, PT, VM, Pet, HF, 24hr Security"

Estimated time of arrival (ETA)
Folks: The last several trips I have made with Jill (my GPS) she has been extremely accurate in her ETA. Like within minutes. Is this normal or was I just lucky? Hate to start depending on her predictions and have her let me down.

Custom pois (Garmin needs a POI site)
With all the custom pois on this site wouldn't it be nice if they were all included in the new Garmin release in April.I know it would not be practical since all of the coordinates could not be vertified but just thinking out loud.Maybe Garmin needs a poi site we could upload to.

Proximity Alerts
Does any of the POI files contain proximity alerts besides the red light camera locations? Rest stops along the highways would be nice to know ahead of time when traveling 70+ MPH in traffic along the nations highways. An alert might give one time to actually use the rest stop. Advance alerts of other locations would also be very helpful.

How to search for specific POI files
Sorry folks, but the search engine in this software is next to useless. I wanted to find out if there is a POI file for Borders and/or Barnes & Noble. Can anyone tell me how to construct a search or find a web page that will answer that question?

New Question about POI's
When people do poi's for the usa why do they leave the city and or state out of the address. I could understand for one's for a certain state, but I think it would be more helpful when that info is there for ones covering the whole USA.

Chatty Charley thread for the week of March 24th 2008
This is the place to talk about things that are not gps related, you can discuss whatever you would like, as long as it is clean. Remember we have families that have their children involved in the GPS fun and we don't want to make parents feel uncomfortable when their children ask what that word means.
Have fun...
This thread will be closed on Monday and a new one will be opened.
Motorcycle compatibility
I use my Garmin in my car all the time, but noticed in the manual it says it's not motorcycle friendly even though the software has a motorcycle option. I'm guessing it's not motorcycle friendly becasue of the size/mounting/weatherability. Can anyone who uses one with a motorcycle recommend a good one or give me tips you've learned?
Thanks!
