Ok, here is another Open Talk topic that I would like to get some information about. I have been thinking about getting a personal weather station, not because I need it, but just because I am a gadget geek and like to follow the weather. It seems like it would be an interesting hobby.

Well again, we're getting snow on Long Island, and again, I can't enjoy it. Have to go into work and just be there. Why did I start in tech support?

Just downloaded the Dunkin Donut custom POI file. But why? I just have to ask it to "find place" and then Dunkin Donut. I see direct advantages to red light alerts, but not much so in the DD poi. What am I missing?

This week we’re recognizing, Metricman!

Metricman has been with POI Factory for over 8 years!

A couple of weeks ago he uploaded the new Virginia Fresh Water Trout Waters POI file and a couple of companion files that go with it. If you're planning to visit that area you should definitely check them out.

I do enough travel across time zones every year that I easily adjust to the new time. That said, I personally would rather not change.

What is your opinion about Daylight Savings Time (for those who have to change)?

I had an SD card that would not read and could not be formatted. I found a Panasonic utility that can read and reformat an "unreadable" card. Info and a download link for the utility can be found here:

Is there a way to import Basecamp waypoint symbol into the 60LMTHD instead of the standardized symbol of the 60LMTHD

Yesterday, Gander Mountain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, not for the purpose of reorganization but for the purpose of selling itself. They anticipate auctioning themselves off by the end of April and completing the sale by mid-May. Pretty aggressive schedule. In the meantime, they'll be closing 32 stores in the next several weeks:

This week we’re recognizing VersatileGuy for his WiFi "Lite", US & Canada file updates.

This file can be particularly helpful for those of us who have limited data on our phone. See this discussion for more on that: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/47102

Thanks for you continued file maintenance work, VersatileGuy!

In danger of losing your windmill?

Maybe you can share the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you used it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.).

Anything to keep your windmill alive.
