finding old site

Nothing like getting a NEW TomTom VIA after Christmas, and having to re-learn everything, to get it set-up like Garmin was.
At-Least I rememberd this site, and my log-in. Now I guess I get to play on this site again.
HELLO ALL, It's good to see some old faces on here, I guess I missed this place (A Little)

Remember me button

I would like to see a "Remember me button". Sometimes I have to close the site up and it would be nice to get back in without logging in.

Hope to help the cause

As i am new to this site, I have had some experience creating databases and map objects for first responders all over the country.

I am an EPA/NOAA CAMEO Instructor and currently work as an adjunct instructor for LSU.

We have a tremendous amont of data that gets generated for classes and would love to have a clearinghouse here amongst your sets.

Speed Cameras in Montgomery County, MD

If I heard correctly on the evening news today, speed cameras are expected to increase from 22 to 72 in early 2012. I guess the County needs more revenue. I also heard that some old cameras would be retrofitted to operated with Lidar rather than radar.

Can anybody confirm what I heard?

Ten Brands That Will Disappear In 2012

I sure hope you don't eat Kellogg’s Corn Pops or Nokia phones!

I don't eat or use either of them, so no sweat here!

Contributors of the Week 2011-12-19

This week we are recognizing Box Car. He's been a very active member since joining the site back in 2010. This month, he's been doing a great job in the forums, and he's also been maintaining a nice collection of files, many of which were previously orphaned.

Thank you Box Car !!

Noob POI question ... (McDonalds, etc.)

I understand what POI files have to offer for categories not already preloaded into my 265W, but what is the benefit of loading a POI for McDonald's when that chain is already loaded under the "food" section?

POI Factory's Speed/Red Light Cameras

Am i the only one that thinks this way? If im going to pay for the Speed/Red Light Cameras Poi's and I did... i think it should come without every poi stating poi-factory after all we are paying for it. What do you think?

Chit Chat Thread for the week of December 26th, 2011

Have fun...

What would you like to see integrated into a GPS in 2012?

Well, 2012 is almost here.

I'm sure that most of you would like to see some improvements or features to be in your next GPS.

Fortunately, the price of GPSs has dropped quite a bit from the early days and they continue to drop (so far).
