Welcome / open talk

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???

Are they included? They are not showing after download?

Happy Columbus Day to all. Hope everyone enjoys the day.

To all my fellow Canadians

I have some of these now, but I need at least one more. I want three, or more, USB ports and I want them to be at least 2 amps on 5 volts. What do you guys suggest?

Here is one I am considering:

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.

When I travel to the US, I am always amazed by the number of different license plate designs there are for some states. In Canada there is usually only one plate design for each province, but some of the western states seem to have dozens of different styles.

My wife and I, along with "Jack", the GPS, are planning a 5-6 day trip through the Finger Lakes District. We've never been before and would appreciate a few suggestions on where to go.

-Crossing border at Gananoque, Ontario going to Watertown for our first stop, for a little shopping and sight seeing.
