Welcome / open talk

For my fellow Applephiles, IOS 10 is due out today, presumably around 9 am PST, 12 EST,

This week we’re recognizing, Bob.Sedona!

Bob.Sedona has been a member of POI Factory for over seven years.
He appreciates a quality “Chicago Style” pizza and maintains a couple of POI files dedicated to such. He’s also recently adopted the Quiznos file and is currently working on consolidating and updating that file.

Thanks for contributions to our community, Bob.Sedona!

The Taco Bell USA and Canada file will not load in MS Street & Trips 2013. I have also tried to make a *.gpx file and it will not do that either. Any suggestions?

This week we are recognizing, Bobkz!

Bobkz is a veteran of POI Factory, having been a member for over nine and a half years. He’s created icons, helped troubleshoot in the discussion forums and is the maintainer for the fun Offbeat Tourist Attractions files. He’s also just an all-around nice guy!

I came across this neat little map while browsing FDOT's website. I had no idea that there were so many traffic counting devices installed.

Have a happy and safe Labor Day...

Yup. Those college decals (and anything else you have) in your rear window are illegal. My Nephew got stopped for speeding and the Trooper reduced the speeding to a illegal rear window decal. He removed the decal in front of the Trooper and had the ticket signed accordingly. He still needs to go to court. It sounds like he got very lucky.

And it's a stiff $150 plus surcharge.

Samsung To Issue A Global Galaxy S7 Recall

Discussion in 'Android News' started by Jeffrey, Today at 3:51 AM.

I'm new to custom POIs and am having a problem with "Campgrounds and RV Parks Combined". When I use the Garmin POI loader to load this CVS file to my 1450 Nuvi, I get an error message that there is a problem with the second line of the file. I've successfully loaded several other CVS and GPX files to my nuvi, but this great list of campgrounds just won't go.

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.

This week we’re recognizing, Ajasaro!

Ajasaro has been one of our most reliable and dedicated file maintainers for over 9 years!

I recently tried to update my Steetpilot c530 to the latest Garmin maps but was unable to. I contacted Garmin on the matter and they told me that my unit is not compatible with the new map updates. They told me that Garmin was offering a free update program for older units with had lifetime maps installed. All I had to do was send them my old unit.
