Keeping The Windmill Alive - Your Last Trip? – November 2014

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.

POI Factory Search Question

Has anyone figured out a way to sort the results of a POI Factory search?

Search results aren’t listed alphabetically or by date. What algorithms are used to determine the order?

I’m sure this question has been asked before but when searching the topic, the answer (if any) is buried in 40 to 100+ pages of results depending on how I word the search.

My poi not available to others

I've uploaded a poi to poi factory, I can find it if I'm logged in, but others cant find it, it doesn't show up on my list of maintained files and it doesn't come up in a search. What am I/did I do wrong? It also doesn't come up when another member who is logged on searches.

Incredible StartPage

MSN changed the home page with the new and improved one.Not really what I want as a start page now. Found this extension for Chrome. Simple to set up and especially like the note taking part on home page.

Why Garmin POI Files do not work?

My wife has the Cyclops file USCanadaCyclopsSample.GPI on her Garmin 50LM GPS (she says it came with it) and it works - notifies us when approaching cameras. I downloaded the Garmin POI Loader (without the USCanadaCyclopsSample.gpi) for my GPS and it did not allow me to get notifications as hers does. Looks like Cyclops is the way to go???

NYC Long Island School Speed Cameras

Are they included? They are not showing after download?
