Welcome / open talk

How do I open GPX files, my computer doesn't recognize that file extension. I searched on line, but got junk sites.I'm trying to load them to my gps.

Is there any way on POI-F to jump to the newest post in a thread that is over one page long? I am able to just click on the word new in a post and it will work and jump to the newest posting as long as the post is no longer than one page. Now after the thread reaches one page it will jump to the page but you then have to scroll down to through the messages and just pick one to start reading.

We’ve had a lot more Rand McNally users visiting the site, so Jon and I setup a forum for them -- the “Rand McNally Talk” discussion group.
Yesterday, we moved all the topics that seemed to pertain to Rand McNally GPSs to that area.

This is the official POI Factory Joke thread.

It will be closed on the last day of the month and a new one will be opened.

Have fun....

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.

Don't know if this was asked and answered.

Greetings,

The 2012 discussion of the existence of (and need for) Motor Vehicle Use Maps has been discussed in the thread:

http://www.poi-factory.com/node/36274

The older thread discusses why the Forests are now coming up with Motor Vehicle Use maps rather than the old standard "all forest" maps.

I have recently become a scooter rider (a Honda Helix clone to match my lady friend's Helix) Both are 250 cc bikes. We have matching helmets with Bluetooth intercom capability (Sena SMH10). The bike to bike and telephone features work great. I have mounted our older Garmin GPS's, mine is a 760 and hers is a 350.

Interesting take on Flo's (Progressive) Snapshot device.
