DelORME topo 8
When I tried opening some poi.cvs files I have been using for my Delorme Topo 8 for the last three years and they suddenly no longer even show up in the folder. In explorer I found files but with an X in their upper left corner. What the? Downloaded new files and they did not show up either. Any clues? Thanks.

RoadNinja
If you've used RoadNinja recently, and also have a dedicated GPS, are you happy with RoadNinja? Does it do things better than your GPS unit? Is RoadNinja accurate and complete?

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.

Is it legal to operate a GPS while driving?
In Florida it is now illegal to text while driving. It is also illegal to text someone who you know is driving. I wonder if it is illegal to program a GPS with a destination such as an address. It is similar to texting. You take your eyes off the road to enter data. My Garmin states that I should not program it while driving. I have to agree before it starts up. But is it illegal?

Unbelievable. Well, not really and that's the shame of it.
Amazing GPS: I once was lost but now am found.
