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.

Hi Everyone! 1st time here. Having an issue. I have the Garmin Nuvi 605. I've never had a problem with it, until now. It seems as though the touchscreen has just stopped. I can see the screen. Audio works. It just won't respond to my touch. Any ideas?

Since so many new cars have the option of having a GPS unit built-in I wonder if we should have a discussion about the pros and cons of these units?

Hello everyone new to forum just like to say hello. Looking forward to learning more on this site.

Thanks Rob

I would not normaly write this to open forum.I just downloaded The Ethanol Free Gas POI and it has a mistake on line 13 a data format error.I would write to the person who updates the file but there is no contact link for this person.

I was in Jordan last week on business and read an article in the local paper that said they now estimate there are 2000 people who own a PND.

The article went on to give the typical PND versus cell phone navigation pro/con debate.

Makes you realize how blessed we are as a country and makes me realize how blessed I am personally (I have two PNDs plus my cell phone!).

Hello to everyone. I am just joining and wanted to say hello and that I am a new Garmin user. Will talk more later.

I am new to the site and I am glad I found this site, lots of great information here and I hope at some point I can contribute also.

I was given a laptop with Microsoft Millennium. It does not have the M/S Office Picture Manager. Is there a freeware program that works very similar? I want to download the software to a thumbdrive & then install it on the laptop.

Cannot get Blueridge Parkway and Skyline Drive.gpx.htl to work on Garmin 3790LMT. I load it into my POIs with loader but nothing is there.

I tried opening the file (I am a Mac user) to look at it but it looks very different than my regular .cvs files.

What am I doing wrong??

We are planning on doing this trip in April and this would have been a godsend for us but??

Please help!

There comes a time when you should just hand over the keys to someone else--permanently.

Edit - apparently the site is being inundated, so if you can't get it to work give it a couple of days.

Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, red light cameras new Report out 2/1/2011

It's a common complaint, I hear and yes, have even lodged myself: red light cameras are ridiculous and a tool cities use just to rake in money through tickets. We like to portray ourselves as victims. After all, our driving is never the problem right?

I'm not sure if this has been discussed but if it has please let me apologize for bringing it up.

This week we are recognizing Pwohlrab.

Thank you for the fire in the pants that motivated me to really start doing some major site cleanup last week. I will continue to clean up over the next few weeks.

I really appreciate the support that you have provided during the process.
