Welcome / open talk

According to:

"Sec. 547.613. RESTRICTIONS ON WINDOWS. (a) Except as provided by Subsection (b), a person commits an offense that is a misdemeanor:

(1) if the person operates a motor vehicle that has an object or material that is placed on or attached to the windshield or side or rear window and that obstructs or reduces the operator's clear view; or"

Mapteq used to have the maps and a place to request corrections that eventually went to Garmin. The site no longer works

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

Have fun...

APPLE POSTS Q4 EARNINGS, MISS DESPITE IPHONE 5 LAUNCH; $8.2 BILLION PROFIT ON $36 BILLION IN REVENUE

8.2 Billion dollar profit and it's not enough for wall street:

Google and its street-view cameras already have taken users to narrow cobblestone alleys in Spain using a tricycle, inside the Smithsonian with a push cart and to British Columbia's snow-covered slopes by snowmobile.

I guess I am confused. Can someone please tell me what makes the iphone any better than all the new Android phones out there. My son and daughter in law both have the new iphone and I cannot see where it is any better than their sons Android phone.

This week our contributor of the week is Ajasaro!

As a veteran member of POI Factory he has a great deal of experience which he shares with the community in the forums. Over the last year he has helped significantly by picking up some of the "orphaned" POI files and bringing them up-to-date.

Thanks for everything you have done and continue to do for our community, Ajasaro!

I noticed this feature today, then saw an ad for BMW about this feature.

Has anyone sent a POI to their car yet?

Here is an article regarding red light camera revenue in Marietta, Georgia (A suburb in NW Atlanta). Interesting.

Since some of the same people post on here, I am wondering if anyone know what happened to laptopgpsworld.com because except for the the main page, the website has been inaccessible for several weeks.

About a week ago I saw a link on the main page about server problems, but that link would not open.

Attempts to log in result in a perpetual spinning wheel.

This week we are recognizing Garmin_geek!

Garmin_geek has been a member of the site for about 2.5 years and has built quite a few files based on his own hobbies and interests. His most recent addition is Epic Car Campsites based on an article in Backpacker Magazine.

Thank you for your continued contributions to our community!

Hi,

I am a person who sews. I don't quilt. Does anyone have a lead on a poi for fabric stores? I saw the one for quilting stores, but they often don't carry garment or home decorating fabrics. I am specifically looking for New England and the Northeast down to Mid-Atlantic areas.

Thanks.

Joanne

I am forwarding this new list of speed cameras in MD. Not sure which ones we've got already or whether there are new ones in the list.

we are currently on a road trip. Went to take a picture and realized that I did not know how to modify the camera configuration. After getting back to the motel I was able to download the camera manual!

Also, as an amateur radio operator, I also have my radio manuals on the tablet. Having manuals on the tablet as PDF documents is very helpful.

I just want to let everyone known the Gilsson UBM / UBM-1 beanbag mounts are becoming hard to find. Tonight I bought one for a friend at Frys.com for $20 and feel lucky to have found it. I've had one for a couple years and would highly recommend it.

See link.
