Welcome / open talk

I used to be a student and bought a gps to facilitate interviews, etc. I don't wokr in the transportation industry or anything. Could I use nuvi purchase as a tax deduction?

Hi, sorry if I missed the answer to this somewhere, but I couldn't find in the FAQs or forum history.

Is there a way to monitor a POI file for changes and be notified (either via email or when I log in here) to download the updated file? Or how does everyone keep up with changes when they're made?

Thanks

Hi just wondering if anybody has ever used a gpx in store malls to fined stores like sport shop, food places that do not have addresses on them do you have to use the coordinates. thank you lucky

Where on this site do I upload a sound file, do I use the "upload and share a csv or gpx file" link?

Howdy All,

I'm new to this forum, and my Maestro 4040. I have used Garmin, mainly with my work rentals.

I really like the 4040, and have started to create and load POI.

The one qustion I do have though, is can you edit or modifiy the categories. I document covered bridges photographically, and would like to have a "Covered Bridge" category, if possile.

Did anyone see the Today show today? It was about GPSrs and how good they are. Of course, their testing methods are much to be desired. Testing in Boston has to be the worse place to test GPSrs.

The final conclusion was that all models got you where you needed to go within 5-10 minutes of each other.

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.

I am only recognizing one person this week. Mrkenfl is our contributor of the week this week.

Mrkenfl, Your continued dedication to making the rest areas file fabulous is wonderful. You have made some really great additions to the file and I am so excited whenever you come back to update us on the latest and greatest.

You are an inspiration to us all.

I'm new here, but I was wondering... is there a way to find the coordinates of a known location online using satellite imagery or something like that? That way you could create poi files without actually traveling to a specific location. Thanks.

I know that the admins are busy getting the new site up, but I thought perhaps at some point, it would be nice to have an advance search.

Such as by author, subject, body, or all. It would also be nice to be able to have it where you could use such as "and", "or"

Is there a file for all the Wal-marts in the US. That place is so useful. It works for me cuz we travel in an RV and it is grat for parking in their lot and closing the blinds and sleepingplus they got food

Saying hello. I'm new to this forum, but I have used automotive GPS for years. My first was a Garmin Street Pilot that cost a fortune. (Recently sold that on eBay) And have only used factory GPS systems since (both in Infinitys). The 2005 infinity was poor, the 2007 is a lot better.

I recently purchased a Magellan 3225 for $150 and I'm pretty impressed with the tiny thing.

I did a search in the POI factory base and there seem to be different opinions regarding deleting built in POI's. I have several POI's in the FOOD section that are out of business and I would like to delete them. I opened the Garmin folder and coule not open the POI file to get at the list. Suggestions. Thanks

Just wanted everyone to know that a new version is available for the Garmin C330 (online).
