Rather than having multiple threads, like these:

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!

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.

I tried down loading gpx files in firefox that I have successfully downloaded before. Some down loaded as normal. Others just open in the browser screen. Is there a fix or do I need to change browsers?

I had not noticed until today, but both my 2455 and 2595 give me a visual indication of the fact that they are in MS mode.

I maintain the file for the Ontario 400 and 401 Rest Areas, but I do not travel on Hwy 400.

I am looking for some assistance from someone that travels up towards Barrie, Ontario.

does anybody know if there is a poi for what hotels have parking for big rigs

I made a post and never received a credit for my membership

Heads up folks. Despite the label saying the redlight & speed cameras are still for 9/11/2013, they really have been updated to 9/18/2013.

No problem, but you can download them now.

I have considered taking my family on a vacation and traveling via Amtrak. Is there any GPS or app that will route via the railroad? I assume that all will try to route via the regular roads. It would be sort of nice if one of them did do routing via the railroad tracks because it would show the next stop(s) on the rail line.

My car radio died, so I bought a new radio that has bluetooth capability. My GPS unit does NOT have bluetooth, but should I get a new GPS; I will get one with bluetooth.

Here is my concern. Normally, you have the car radio on and listen to the music. If the GPS and the radio are paired, I get the feeling that the radio won't play the music, but would only "play" the GPS directions.

Watch the video to see how many times the E-ZPass RFID tag was getting polled:

I recently purchased a 2012 Dodge Journey with an 8.4A
video screen. AS I ALREADY HAVE TWO GARMIN NUVI UNITS I DO NOT WISH TO PURCHASE THROUGH DODGE THEIR SOFTWARE UPGRADE.
I would like to interface my Garmin to the 8.4A video screen. My GIG puts out an interface that I am very interested in as I also use a camera on the rear of my trailer. The My GIG C8 unit has RCA inputs for video.
