Welcome / open talk

Just wanted to say "Hi" and say this is a very cool site. I already created a POI for Washington Mutual ATM in the Sacramento area. I'll be uploading it shortly.

Looking forward to contribute more in the future.

ISLIP, N.Y. — GPS tracking devices installed on government-issue vehicles are helping communities around the country reduce waste and abuse, in part by catching employees shopping, working out at the gym or otherwise loafing while on the clock.

Kelly Pop Boom Bop Bang. Hi, even...

Let's say a person "waaaa" was to start traveling all over the US of A.

It might be to his advantage to have his money is a bank that would have the most branches all across the country just to have a somewhat easy access to it.

Anyone know which bank that might be?

I am thinking of two - Bank of America and Wachovia that might come close.

See link below for on update on the legal battle between the two.

This came to my inbox this morning and I thought it was really cool. http://headwayblog.com/2007/11/13/gtfs-to-gps/

It is fun to find our community featured in blogs and on other sites.

I at one time thought that I had seen additional voices available for the nuvi 660. For the life of me I can not find any mention of these on this forum or on the Garmin website. Can anyone help me in this endeavor. I want to try some voices other than Jill, as I really don't understand her too well.

I recently bought a Garmin 660, after purchasing and returning the $200 MOI, best return i ever made, anyways i do love the 660 and especially the fact that i can tie it in to my car stereo.

i just got the nuvi 200 w this week. i followed the poi loader instructions and saved it ok. i tried to save a file in my computer and it is there but when i browse with poi loader it is not there. i tried the e-85 file three times what am i doing wrong?

Hi all.

i want to know about garmin c320 update, i want know update is all is new design or just some address and area they change ????

I was driving yesterday to meet friends who were going to give me a ride to Ft Meyers to play in a senior softball tourn. I ran into a traffic jam on I-75 and lost my ride and now had no idea on how to get to the field. I then remembered someone saying the field was next to the minn. twins spring ball park. wow!

I was on vacation out of the country for 3 weeks. I lost my hard-earned windmill. Guess I must to crank up to gain it back.

Ok so I have been playing with Mapsource and have come up with 3 routes to get me home from Vegas. The route through CO is still the shortest. But I am think it is going to be the one to give me the most trouble if a storm comes in. Below is that option with the 2 others.

Vegas to HOME: 1755 mi 1 day 2:57:44 This is the Route through Colorado. Which we already said is a no go.

Can anyone make an icon of a forklift truck? Possibly a black background with a forklift outline or something like that.

I can't seem to find one anywhere and don't have the time or knowledge to make one.

Thanks

Is anyone still maintaining this file http://www.poi-factory.com/node/4307 ? I find it very useful and would like to see it updated once in awhile.

I am traveling to Italy and borrowed the marcopolo southern europe POI for my nuvi 350 from a friend. The unit will read the gpi file from the SD card, but does not ask if i want to load the file to the unit. I do not want to take the card with me for fear of losing it, but the only way it seems to work is using the original SD card.

Price is $499.99 plus S&H. I bought one.

Has anyone experienced a problem when using POI Loader. When I launch POI Loader it changes my screen resolution to a "fuzzy" look.

I'm a victum of GPS theft. I've even started a web site on this problem. My Garmin has a pin code. I know that if I keep it in the open, someone will steal it; Even though it's useless when they do.

I HATE having to keep taking the GPS down when I park. What could be done to keep thieves from stealing these? Let's brainstorm. Would be nice to lock it to the dash without it looking stupid.

Received my Nuvi 750 with the objective of using my existing GTM20 FM traffic and MSN direct receivers with it.

BUT the unit locks up when either the MSN Direct receiver or the FM traffic receiver is powered on.
Both receivers work on the respective Nuvi 6xx series. Unit (V2.2) and traffic receiver(s) microcode are current.

hi,
While giving direction, why does my Nuvi 350 just says, "Turn to Baltimore" instead of saying "Turn to Baltimore Washington Parkway?"
