New police officer held photo enforcement dragon cam.

Since the cop cam move, a poi file will be tough for these.

Let me re-phrase that... Why is it that the CVS file that exists contains just a few locations? (I was looking at the csv file, not gpx)

????

Would love to swap out Wallgreens which is convienet, but we don't regularly use..... for CVS (which we use often)

This week we are recognizing, ralphy1!

Ralphy1 has been a member of POI for over 8 years.

We’ve seen a renewed interest in his North American Breweries POI file, most likely from these two Washington Post articles.

My friend shot this video in Carolina Beach, NC after the heavy rains. Three news outlets have used it already. It's amazing that someone would even think of eating fish from a dirty parking lot 'cause why else would you catch it? Pretty funny though!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends, hope you enjoy your day. Stay safe.

Just for info .Anyone traveling 95 south may have problems once they get to Florence SC. Not sure how long this will last. Web site gives this information Drivers should use the alternate route; I-20 Florence to I-77 around Columbia, then onto I-26 east to return to I-95. http://wspa.com/2015/10/04/70-miles-of-i-95-closed-due-to-re.... That is what we had to do today.

This week we are recognizing Gary A!

Gary A has been a member of POI Factory for over 7 and a half years.

His recent updates to the Tampa Bay Area Attractions file drew my attention back to his user account page. I am always amused by the interesting variety of POI files he maintains.

Thanks for your contributions to POI Factory Gary A and just for being you.

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.

How do I add a 2nd GPS unit to my POI account or delete the older one?

This week we are recognizing muell9k for his work on the Models With Power Mounts FAQ.

You can read the discussion of what went into creating this FAQ here:

Garmin Power Mount Survey Help

Thank you muell9k for the time and effort you put into developing this FAQ.

Basically, my wife and I attended an event yesterday, and I am not sure if there is an official attendance number, but I thought I heard 800,000.

The line to get in, that we used, took about 4 hours.

In that 4 hour procession, we witnessed dozens of people cut the line, it was very interesting. What was at stake was multiples of an hour wait.

Has anyone else had problems opening this site this morning?
I must have tried it 50 times before it went to the Prime Page.
All other sites have had no problems.
Thanks.

How many of our members are affected by the VW TDI diesel fiasco? I am glad I am not, but feel bad for those that are. The GM ignition, Toyota accelerator and multi-brand "air bag" controversies were bad enough, but this one seems to me to have the potential of even greater damage to the consumer who owns the product. How will the "fix" affect the product? Reduced economy? Poor performance?
