Welcome / open talk

I purchaged my Garmin about 3-4 years ago but didn't register the device. Do I still eligible for Lifetime maps update or I screw up with having free updates?
Thank you.

This week we are recognizing Trigon!

Trigon has been a POI Factory member for over 5 years.
I look forward to his weekly check-ins as they are always thoughtful. He takes time to congratulate other COW’s and to add his experience here and there in the forums.
His contributions help make POI Factory a positive and friendly community.

Thank you, Trigon!

Greetings,

Is anyone familiar with or an actual user of State Farm's Drive Safe & Save program which uses either OnStar or SYNCH--or for those like me with neither, the separate In-Drive.com device?

It seems to offer much besides potential insurance rate reductions including much of the info offered by Garmin's EcoRoute HD device.

Lockheed Martin powers up its first GPS III satellite, stays on track for 2014

Flicking the switch clears it for testing and keeps the GPS III program's 2014 launch window within view. More importantly, the activation takes us one step closer to improved GPS accuracy for civilians and soldiers alike.

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.

New traffic light with color-illuminated light posts, now being tested to see if it improves safety and holds up under real-world use.

I'm sorry, I haven't seen where this test is being conducted.

At the present I have only 3MB of free internal memory on my 1450LMT. Is this enough free space for the unit to function properly?

Have been otherwise occupied (health issues) for the last couple of years. Didn't realise how much I missed this site!. Have just got a new Garmin Nuvi 2495, so will probably be downloading several files.

This may bring back memories. It did for me.
