Has anybody here ever done this?

Mozilla released Firefox version 48, which includes the long-awaited and much-delayed Electrolysis multi-process and sandboxing architecture. It also includes expanded protection against unwanted and uncommon downloads as well as some user experience improvements.

For those of you that just can't wait!

It’s already been a year since Microsoft launched Windows 10, and we have had a couple of updates since release. The biggest update yet though is the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, which was codenamed Redstone throughout its development. It’s the first major branch from the launch codebase, which was codenamed Threshold.

This week we’re recognizing, jgermann!

John has been a member of POI Factory for over 6 years. He maintains files, helps with troubleshooting in the discussion forums and written a ton of FAQ’s & reference pages (in his own words, so we won’t get dinged for copied text in search engines).

Mozilla, as well as Chrome and Safari, use Google’s “Safe Browsing” service, which warns users about potentially dangerous software on the web. Mozilla announced that starting with the next version of Firefox (48), its browser will be able to block both “potentially unwanted software” and “uncommon downloads.”

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.

Another tale of a driver not thinking and just doing what the GPS says - in this case immediately.

I am interesting in hearing from anybody that has used cup holder mounts for their GPS or other mobile electronics. Until now, I have never seriously considered anything like this. However, with fewer places to mount devices in newer vehicles, I am reconsidering my choices. I was looking at the RAM Mounts RAM-A-CAN.

This week we're recognizing Melaqueman.

Back in June, he started a thread seeking information about how to add POI files to the built-in nav system in his Volkswagen. (http://www.poi-factory.com/node/46284)

Even though the initial suggestions didn't work out, Melaqueman continued looking for an answer and finally found one, which he shared this week.

This week we’re recognizing, rthibodaux!

Last Monday he started a thread describing an issue he was having in locating his FAVORITES/Saved Places.

As usual our member community asked questions, offered suggestions, and helped run him through some trouble shooting steps.

Hi everybody
Yesterday i was driving through the intersection and there was a red light camera
When I enterd the intersection the traffic was jaamed and then i changed the line to avoid obstruction
Will i be penalised ?

I am re-doing my vehicle with radio, GPS, mount, etc. One of the things that I am re-examining is what to do for additional 12 volt and USB power ports. Some of the brands that I have used in the past are Anker, Scosche, and Wagan.
