Welcome / open talk

Looking for a place to get GPX. motorcycle routes of the Ozarks for my Garmin GPS. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Fellow member Bobkz had a great idea awhile back about creating a POI Factory bumper sticker & I would like to know if today amongst you all there’s still an interest out there.

by happenstance I clicked on "my account" just now...10 years and 13 hours...I'd like a new bicycle for my birthday

This week we’re recognizing, Sirkull!

Sirkull has been with us for over 8 years.
Last week he added 60 new locations to his Dollar Tree file. This is pretty busy file, with locations continuing to pop up all over the US.
We appreciate Sirkull’s dedication to keeping this file up-to-date.

Thanks, Sirkull!

I figured since I'm err...frugal and won't let a car die until I have too, I wanted to see who else here shares the passion of pushing a vehicle far beyond the manufacturer's recommended lifetime.

I feel that when compared to our parents' times when we were kids, society is very impersonal. Sometimes very abrasive and standoffish.

Me, I try to just tolerate bad customer service, as long as I'm not harmed or get what I paid for.

I've had this Surge Fitbit since April, looked like corrosion on one corner probably from sweat salts and air bubble on band. Called them up, explained answered a few questions, less then 5 minutes and they are sending a new one out to me. That's amazing Cust. Service, I thought I would have to pay shipping, wait till they veiled it, etc..

This week we’re recognizing, Donaldb530!

Donaldb530 maintains several of our more high maintenance POI files, such as WalMart, Sam's Clubs, And Super WalMart Centers In The United States & Canada, Truck/RV fuel Stations, Costco US and Canada and Flying J/Pilot Travel Plazas.
These files require lots changes and frequent interaction with other members in order to keep up-to-date.

This thread should be closed when the official one opens up, but starting an "unofficial" one has been a thought of mine for a while.

Have fun!!

When I post on the forum, I have no way of knowing when or if someone has replied. On other forums, I can opt to receive an email notification when a reply has been posted.

Is there a way of signing up for reply notifications on POI?

Just a note regarding my responses/inputs to the files that I maintain. I have had to evacuate my home in Florida and don't know when I will be able to return. I just hope that our home will not be damaged, but with the power of this storm, that maybe too much to ask.
I will respond as quickly as I can.

This week we’re recognizing, Eaglesft!

Still a relative newcomer having been a part of the factory for a little over 2 years, Eaglesft has created 95 new POI files!
He joined in May 2014 and contributed his first file the following September. He’s uploaded an average of 2 files and/or bmp’s a week since then.

I was visiting a friend of mine over the past couple of days. They told me their system hadn't done any updates in a while. I took a look at their update settings and it indicated

it would check for updtes but let me choose whether to download and install them

When I inspected the update transaction log it revealed no updates had been applied to the system since Feb, 9, 2016.

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.
