This week we are recognizing, donaldb530!

Donaldb530 has been a member of POI Factory for over five years.
He maintains several files that are consistently in the top five POI files download, such as the WalMart files and Truck/RV fuel stations.
I’m more of a Costco person and donaldb530 maintains that file as well.

This is just a notice, so the comment setting has been disabled.

We will open up voting for Contributor of the Year on Friday!

At that time anyone with General Maintainer status will be able to vote or be voted for this award.

Those members who are new or without General Maintainer status can still participate by commenting in the discussion thread that will be opened.

The Weather Channel’s practice of naming winter storms is:

10. Stupid
9. A lot of attention seeking publicity
8. Better than the old school practice such as the Winter of 2010 or Blizzard of 1947.
7. A guaranteed money making idea.
6. Where are they getting these ‘new age’ names anyway?
5. A prelude to them naming heat waves in the summer.

This is the place to talk about things that are not gps related.

Have fun...

I have som trouble with poiloader and Extra poi editor.
When i try to convert the gpx file i made in EPE poiloader say it is a computor format error in line two in the file.

I used wordpad to open the file and i have some problem to show it here, i try again:

It is -38 degrees Celsius this morning, with a wind chill of -49 Celsius. That's around -56 Fahrenheit for those working in that measurement!

Earlier this week we had a blizzard go through and dump 20 - 30 centimeters of snow. It was so bad the Trans-Canada Highway was closed for almost two days.

Where I can find the poi for the RLC of the south of USA only.???

We are Snow Birds going from Buffalo, NY to Corona, CA for the winter. I want to stop in Tenn and tour a burbon distillary and in Demming MN at the hot springs.

My GOD drive in Houston is crazy, thank I be back in Central Florida. With my new North America 2014-3o map

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.

Hope every one have a nice Thankgiving day,.
safety road driving, use you GPS, be safety, eat your food and enjoy your family

The upgrade for, Garmin, North America 2014 is now for 19.95 because the Blak Friday, y all ready did, the only problem is I have to add a mini SD card, because is to big.

The GPX pages at POI Factory now include a button to download a converted file in CSV format for Rand McNally.

This means Rand McNally GPS users can use POI files that are maintained in GPX format without needing to go through an extra conversion step.

On pages with both GPX and the converted CSV formats, Garmin users should continue to use GPX format.

Technical Notes:
