"Campgrounds" aren't always campgrounds.
Having recently downloaded the POI file "Oregon Campgrounds (434)" I find the majority of the listed sites are RV parks—not campgrounds. There is a difference. Try boondocking in a RV park.These categories should be separated into two files.

Enhancement - Weather Info
I gotta say, the traffic info, at least in the KC area is pretty sketchy, BUT I would really LOVE to see them use that capability to interface with National Weather Service weather data. All weather watches/warnings include GPS coordinates.

BoA File corrupt
Sorry guys.
If you just downloaded the BofA POI file - Try again.
I forgot to delete the extra column I use for sorting by Zip Code. It came up short a couple of hundred places.
It's complete now and uploads to my Garmin with no error and 10109 locations.

What was the price of regular gasoline when you started driving?
My first vehicle was a used 1950 Chevy that cost me $50 of which I had to borrow from a friend and the gallon of gas was 25¢
Can you guess the year? 1963

Update my car DVD for $149 or not
I have a 2006 Odyssey and I received a letter asking if I wanted to buy the GPS DVD update for $149. The car navi is not as easy to use as my handheld but I know I always have it in that car if I do need it. Any pros and cons would be helpful. Thanks.

Bell System Technical Journal Archives
For the techies in the group.
Bell Labs was the birthplace of many technologies and scientific discoveries that virtually define our understanding of the modern world and The Bell System Technical Journal (BSTJ) was the record of those achievements.
The entire archives of the BSTJ were placed online by Alcatel-Lucent and can now be accessed here.

Will you use your GPS more now, with higher gas prices for a "cheaper" route?
I think I will start using a little more my Garmin when driving locally and running errands. So far I just used it when making long trips or driving to unfamiliar areas. I have the feature for making routes so I will start planning a little more before leaving the house to make sure I'm using the best shorter or faster route depending on the destination.

The Garmin 465T side by side with the Rand McNally TND 510 for OTR Driver The Winner is
Last Oct I got the Garmin 465T for 450.00 + 25.00 shiping from Garmin. As a OTR Driver I need a good GPS for my job. I have been with Garmin sence the Street Pilot they have a good rep an a good CS. saying that the 465T is a pice of junk. It takes me. off route on to roads I should not be on. it will not let me go on roads I should on. It will takes me 15-20 miles out of the way per run.
Southern CA Temp 76 and Sunny. Running around with my Nuvi 465T. Getting lost around the country and loving it.
