Welcome / open talk

While we do have our regular monthly specials thread, the Black Friday thread is a tradition as well. So, here goes:

Post any specials for Back Friday you run across for GPS units or accessories.

Im looking for a new in-car sat-nav with a VERY specific requirment for it. Problem is, i dont know many related forums and was hoping to post on few atleast to get some different opinions...

Sooo... Any recommendations?

----------------

Also, may as well ask you guys too.

We've been hearing about Blockbuster going out of business in the last weeks on TV. If that's so, why do we have Blockbuster stores still listed for sites around the country?

Thanks.
Fred

This past weekend I head to & returned from Atlantic City, NJ for a family visit. I discovered that the Atlantic City Expressway had a speed trap designation for long distances on it. Well deserved, since I observed several police cars monitoring the traffic flow. I thought it was justified since I observed many cars driving way beyond the legal limit (+20-25 mph).

This week we are recognizing, Strephon_Alkhalikoi!

Not only is he a helpful regular in our forums, but he also wrote the
Laws | Windshield Law and the GPS Receiver FAQ.
A question regarding this topic was raised over the last week and we appreciate canuk for referring the OP to this link.

The following article by thenewspaper.com
http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/42/4250.asp#source
has the headline and byline

"Federal Court Upholds Overnight Jail Over $15 Parking Ticket
Federal appeals court rules woman can be jailed overnight over a $15, non-jailable parking offense."

A Parking Ticket! Really?

Of course, it caught my attention.

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

Have fun...

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has seen a Redbox (DVD video rental kiosks) POI anywhere. I am often on the road with a return on the seat and would like to know where the nearest kiosk is.

Thank you very much.

They have now figured a new use for GPS

They can now follow you without starting a chase.

In a CNN article today, technology is cited as helping break the record for the Cannonball coast-to-coast run:

These guys seem to have better luck with traffic reporting than I do. However, it says the first turn direction from the GPS was in error. Wonder what brand of GPS they used?

In danger of losing your windmill?

Maybe you can share with us the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you use it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.)
.
Anything to keep your windmill alive.

Rather than having multiple threads, like these:

http://www.poi-factory.com/node/39232
http://www.monstercable.com/screenclean/monster_screenclean....

We thought we would merge the monthly GPS Deals/ Bargains and add recommendations.

Please feel free to share any legitimate recommendations for products that might be helpful to our user community.
Remember, sharing is caring!
