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.

Greetings,

On another thread, I posted my Favorite Files:

and thought this may be an interesting thread for folks willing to share their Favorites (sort of along the lines of the What's Your Avatar? thread).

Here is the latest from thenewspaper.com.

The title and headline of the article are
" Report Explores Speed Trap Towns In St Louis, Missouri
Half of the traffic ticket revenue in Missouri comes from the suburbs of St. Louis."

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.

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:

At the price this model is sold for do anyone knows the reason why Garmin added a school safety zone alert feature and not a red light camera feature???
