has anybody created a file containing all the agricultural inspection stations?
that will be really helpful for truck drivers, specially for distracted ones like me. passing by a agricultural inspection station without entering can cost you a lot of money in tickets and court and ruining your license.

if already exist con u guys post the link for it thanks.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers has introduced a new bill, known as the Geolocation Privacy and Surveillance Act, to force law enforcement to obtain a warrant to track suspects with GPS devices.

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

Have fun...

You guys and gals have created an awesome site with tons of great information! Hopefully one day I can learn enough to contribute some.

Just heard if passed will be installing up to 40 speed cameras, looks like on local streets shopping areas and schools.

I don't understand why my account has been locked just because I haven't logged in for a while. I still have about 18 weeks left. What's going on?

hi i just joined

We are going to Italy next month and just ordered the Garmin Europe maps on DVD (yes I know they are almost a year old). I was planning on putting the the maps on my SD card. Has anyone experienced any problems with maps on both the unit (nuvi in my case) and the SD card?

We need to give thanks to Jon for adding the FAQ we are responsible for to our My Account page. Makes it easier to keep up with them and update changes as needed.

It's suprising how many aren't used to the notion that all of your actions are videoed, everything you say recorded, and your actions tracked. So what, technology makes it so?!

For example, when I visit a vendor, my pic is taken, my index finger is scanned, and I'm asked if I'm a US Citizen. If any of the above is not done, then I will not gain entry.

This week we are recognizing David King!

David King has been a member for a little under a year.

He’s been helpful in sending us some wav files and has helped several members update locations.
He pops into the forums on occasion, when he has experience to share, and he recently updated several of the POI files he maintains.

I do not travel much that I need to use my GPS unit for, so it pretty much sits on a shelf slowly loosing it charge. So when I do decide to use it I have to charge it up from a low battery status. Seeing that Lithium batteries only have so many full charging cycles would it be better to keep it attached to my USB port on my computer all the time to keep it fully charged?
