Congratulations to the 2016 NBA champions, the Cleveland Cavaliers. For us Clevelanders who live and die with our sports teams - man, it's been a long time. Well done!

I have just attempted to update the Bruegger's file. Unfortunately it just can't be done from their web site.
They have gone to a map view which you need to minimize to get a State, then maximize to find a city. Click on the "BB" and you will get a location. Then you need to back out of it and try again on another location. Not very easy to update a list.

This week we’re recognizing, Box Car!

Hi,

Which is a better GPS System?

Garmin or Tom Tom when it comes to customized POI?

I used to be able to download pois for my garmin. I downloaded into the computer and then used poi downloader to load onto my garmin. now I get a csu and cannot download the poi's. Help?

Kid calls 9-1-1 on his dad for running a red light. Kid logic is great.

Link is to FAA Notice to Airmen about GPS Interfearance tests going on... might this bother ground based GPS reception? Who knows... If you're in the SW USA at the times specified in the link below...and your GPSr is hinky... This might explain.

If anyone is interest you should be able to update to android 6.0.1 on Verizon

Just a quick hello to the forum. New user of custom POIs and stumbled upon the POI Factory.

Long time GPS user...first one was TomTom software for an HP iPAQ personal data assistant with a BT connected GPS receiver. After many different models, today I use a BMW Navigator V on a K1600GTL.

I have the coordinates of an AM antenna array, and I would like to know how to obtain information on the FCC licensee, frequency, etc. It is a 3 tower array, and the coordinates of the center tower are: 39deg 27' 22.71"N, and 77deg 19' 25.17"W. This is in the Mt. Pleasant community in Frederick County, Maryland. Is there a way to get the info I want from the FCC website?

This is the official POI Factory Joke thread.

It will be closed on the last day of the month and a new one will be opened.

Please read the forum rules before posting.

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.
