Hi,

does anyone here know a system with 2 (waterproof and night vision) cameras (front + rear) hard-wired to a monitor with a permanent split view of both cameras (not connected to the reverse lights)?

Here is a on line program I found http://citebite.com/ .Nice for linking directly to quotes in Web pages or POI Factory Forum. Pretty straight forward on how to use. Done a sample video here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_4P5GVPF44

Now found a problem with the LLBean file.
Anyone else had that problem?

Just tried to update my GPS & had the loader say that there was a problem with the file North American Campgrounds.
Anybody else have this problem???

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.

With the problems in different states about GPS's blocking the view and specific locations etc. is there the same thing going on with the backup camera? I've also read it's going to be mandatory by 2018 on cars. Anyone have any info?

POI Factory moved to a new server overnight. All of the content from the old server is now available here.

The move started at midnight Eastern time and was completed in about an hour.

Because Internet service providers sometimes save IP addresses for a while, it may take several hours before everyone is able to reach the web site on the new server.

Thank you for your patience.

I found this to be very interesting. Not sure what I think of this practice - although I think the country needs to be discussing this technology.

Had not used Bing Maps for some time. With discussion on another post about finding coordinates. I ran across this information that may be of use to some of our members. Plan to start using it more myself now that I see its advantage.

I am looking to purchase a new GPS mainly used for commercial motorcoach use. I am debating if a RV gps would be better than one for trucking. I would like the tools for CDL drivers but not an issue since we are using electronic logging. Anyone here use one for motorcoaches?

Trying to download several updates and file names are named csv?node=8700 or something similar. Never seen this before.

Thanks

I am trying to download POI files for truck stops and I wont let me. What will help?
