Welcome / open talk

As of recently, I have been creating my own POI's for a "Travel Guide to the USA" collection. My basic standpoint would be a collection of POI's and then subcategorize them by individual databases. EX: Fastfood, historical spots, museums, toll roads, rest stops, major gas stations, shopping centers, and so forth.

Think the traffic in your area is heavy? See how it compares with this scorecard.

The INRIX Traffic Scorecard provides a comprehensive analysis of the state of traffic congestion across the U.S.

Just wondering how this site is funded? I did a search but came up short.

As I filled my gas tank today at $3.23.9 cents a gallon I wondered what happened to the $5 "DOOM & GLOOM" prophesy to come?.
As you GPS people transverse the USA today I want to inform you of how much in federal and state taxes you pay in each state for each gallon not effected by the Wall Street Speculators. This is cents per gallon.

Alabama 39.3
Alaska 26.4
Arizona 37.4
Arkansas 40.2

I just uploaded the Penny Machine loctions for Tennessee. I think I am missing an address for the Elvis Presley Automobile Museum. All others were entered with geocoding.

There was no contact tab for me to click on. Was wondering if the Tennessee Squished Penny POI made it in?

Some humour for geocachers in the forums. A friend of mine asked "So did SWAT get to claim the FTF?"

Suspected pipe bomb actually a ‘geocache’
For more than three hours, Toronto emergency units investigated a suspected pipe bomb taped to a lamppost in an exclusive west-end neighbourhood...

Hi everyone,

I would like some information, my family and I will be traveling from Ottawa, Ontario to Lorton Virginia to catch the auto train to Florida in July. I was wondering what would be best route to take, something that I can program into my Garmin GPS.

Thanks

Smartphones are getting smarter these days. Too bad we can't say the same about the users.

Avid texters beware: Fort Lee, N.J. police said they will begin issuing $85 jaywalking tickets to pedestrians who are caught texting while walking.

Does anyone know how to unfreeze my unit. My unit is froze during sartup and says your device needs tobe restarted to increase performance.

A week or so ago, s4v8 posted that he was in the middle of doing a backup using ImgBurn. see http://www.poi-factory.com/node/36307.

That got me to thinking about the several backups I have that are taking up space. Did I really need that many on my PC or would only the latest one do? But, what if I wanted to check out something like the various sizes of JCV files.

For anyone looking for a manual.
