Welcome / open talk

Canadians have a postal code, that's totally different than the American Zip Codes. eg: M2L 1Z8

Some gas pumps ask for your Zip code when you swipe at the pump and the Zip you enter must be the same as on the mailing address for your card.

One suggestion, was to use the numbers in the postal code and add two zeros on the end. I somehow recall that it worked many years ago, near Florida.

Shell has a Fuel Rewards Network (FRN) - http://www.fuelrewards.com/

Not a credit card - but a card you can pick up at paricipating Shell stations. Then go to the above site, spin to lock in you initial discount (per gallon, for the next fill up) - anywhere from $0.05 to $0.25 off per gallon.

I see that poi-factory now has more than 300,000 members.
Congrats to JM and Globe Turtle and all the members that make ths site the best.

After reading some of the posts here extolling the virtues of Notepad++, I decided to install it. I poked around in it a few times, but I didn't like it and want to uninstall it. But how do I that? It's not listed as an installed program in Control Panel. I probably could delete the folder where it lives, but that sounds a bit hairy. Any suggestions?

This week we are recognizing mgarledge!

Mgarledge is one of our pleasant regulars in the forums.

This thread is for people who are actually using Windows 8 to post their impressions (both good and bad), share discoveries (also both good and bad), and offer tips they've found.

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

Have fun...

This thread will be closed on Monday and a new one will be opened.

Just wanted to wish all the veterans and families of veterans a Happy Veterans Day. Without our veterans and the support of their families Poi-Factory might have been a totally different website.

before you do something stupid because a slower car gets in front of you, think of this

I got a bumper sticker layout, and even someone to print them for us .. I will also make the layout available to anyone for free.

What I need from you is a logo.. I have changed it so many times that I would like to see what other ideas would be. I want to hear it from other people here. I am struggling what message to tell people that read the Bumper Sticker

In the last two days the stock market has gone south, but has anyone noticed the drop in Apple stock that started soon after the mini iPad was released?

I need advice sell/hold/buy?

Just joined up, and am already a little confused about how this works exactly. Specifically, is posting to the forums absolutely required to be able to download the poi files and install them to my TND 720, or can I bypass that by becoming a paid subscriber? Obviously I'd prefer the latter ~ i.e. support the site and remove the posting requirement. Anyone care to respond? Thanks in advance.

This week we are recognizing jim407!

We picked Jim407 this week because makes a point to reach out to other users in friendly discussions, willingly shared his experience in surviving hurricanes both before and after Sandy hit and readily admitted he underestimated how familiar many of the members of our community are with the work of Mr. Torvalds.

When I bought my TomTom Start 55TM and started frequenting this web site I downloaded a bunch of POI files and added them to my GPS.

There are lots of very good icons for the files I downloaded but I thought I could improve on them or make different icons that were sharper.
