If you have ever tried to create a website then you know with desktops, tablets and phones and the different OS's out there it can drive you nuts. Here is a site that will help you at least see what each device is displaying.

Although I disagree with the author's comment about leaving older technology batteries like NiCD on their chargers (that's what causes the misnamed "Memory Effect" which was actually the result of drying out the electrolyte by overcharging), the bulk of the article is on point, especially as it pertains to today's Lithium-ion batteries.

I saw one of the Google Street View cars on the other side of I-64 today. They were in the far right lane (Slow Lane?) and being passed a lot.

Don't know if it was "Active" or not. Guess I'll find out in a month or 2.

This is the 3rd time I've seen one. All on the Interstate.

Anybody else ever seen one?

Did you wind up in the "Street View"?

This should bend someone out of shape

I just tried to contact another member (VinceCANuvi) thru POI Factory contacts. Yahoo rejected both the email to me as well as the other member. They are editing to see if the from address matches the from IP address. If it does not match it is rejected.

This week we are recognizing, Sirkull!

Sirkull has been a member of POI Factory for over seven years.

He’s part of the group of members we have who post frequent updates to their files throughout the year.

This year he’s made 13 updates to the Best Western file, 8 to his Dollar Tree file and most recently 10 updates to his Free Talk file.

I don't remember seeing it posted here yet, but the Europe 2016.10 map update has been released. Downloaded it the other day and everything seems to be working OK.

I have been using Campgrounds and RV Parks Combined for locating campgrounds and RV parks. This morning I noticed the COMBINED US Campgrounds (CSV) By Rivopom.

Has anyone used both of these.... and which is more complete?

I've been a big fan of the Garmin nuvi products over the years. I'm currently using a 2598 LMT enhanced by the garmin smartphone link for additional traffic.

This week we are recognizing, rvOutrider!

RvOutrider has been with POI Factory for over six years.

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.

This week we are recognizing, mahoney!

Mahoney has been with POI Factory for a VERY long time. He maintains A LOT of files and he helps us out by updating some of the orphaned files when he can.

This week, in the discussion Shell Gives Us POI Files, we were reminded of how fortunate we are to have mahoney maintain files for us.
