Welcome / open talk

I recently noticed that using Here maps offline with bluetooth activated on my cell phone, the voice prompts disappear. Turning off bluetooth will bring it back to life. Does anybody experience the same?

Has anyone attempted to replace the battery in their GPS?

How long has your original battery lasted?

I searched and found an old gps and csv file from I think '08.
I contacted Triumph USA and asked them about gettting a gpx file, they sent me a current dealer list in PDF.
I am working on making a GPX file from the US.

Anyone want to check it and tell me what I have done wrong?
I am using a spreadsheet to edit the CSV and then check it with the Extra POI Editor.

Well, another fing GPS nuvi with a dead battery!

We were planning on buy a new 2016 Ford Edge SEL with the navigation package... BUT THAT PACKAGE COMES WITH LEATHER SEATS!

NFW!

Does some brand have an automobile GPS with user replaceable batteries?

I have done a lot of googling and looks like all the brands say, "Please contact Support.........."

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.
