Welcome / open talk

May everyone have a Happy and Prosperous 2011.

Happy new year to all of you !

I'm a newbie here and have a stupid question:
I convert GPX files into POI but I'd like to be able to have the elevations with the coordinates !
Do you think it's possible ?

What I wan to do is create a 3D cad file from the GPX data, then I do need the elevations

Kind regards

Dume

Be Happy; be Healthy,and be Sober so we can all do this again next year. Happy New Year!

Hello, Im kind of a newbie as this is my first time posting but Ive actually been using the site for POI's for quite some time and Im hoping Im getting to the point that I can maybe contribute to some of the projects.

Im running a Garmin Oregon 550 & Colorado 400t for field use in Geocaching and Waymarking. Ive also got a Tom Tom 130 for in the car.

Just for the heck of it, I set my 205W to show me the satellite view while driving to customer's today. With a good lock on 10 to 11 sats I was seeing between 11 & 20 feet. What's your best?

They should have checked here before writing this column. We could have contributed to it....

All of the forum posts are from oldest to newest. Some of the older threads are a couple of years old and you have to, at the very least, scroll to the bottom and take the highest page number (each time) to get to the new posts.

Miss POI

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.

MaryAnn Melby AKA Miss POI

i just got the 3790t..... and its great ...need help i can load poi's in the sd card and read them but the icons do not show up ..... i renamed the icons to match the poi's and still nothing could someone help please...... i loaded over 300 poi files on this unit 200000+.......... thanks to thoese whove helped

Miss POI - I would like to suggest a new forum called "Smartphone Talk". We currently have dedicated forums for Garmin & TomTom, but I would think that in a very short time the number of members with smartphones will eclipse those with dedicated gps devices. So it would make sense to have a dedicated forum for us to discuss smartphone issues without being "attacked" by Garmin/TomTom fanboys.

Its another Winter and again we are ready to get hammered by a Blizzard. Here in New York we are expected to get around 12 - 16 inches +.
Hows the weather in your area?

I JUST INSTALLED Red Light and Speed Cameras onto my nuvi 465t but all the other poi files i had disapeared. any one know any thing about this tell me why

Merry Christmas to everyone. May you have a happy, safe, and blessed day!

I've created a POI GPX file of Ranger Boat dealerships. I have jpg images of the Google Street View that I've created and a wav and bmp file, but I don't see any way to upload them.

I put them altogether in a zip file but the upload wants only gpx or csv extensions.

It looks like Smartphones are taking a toll on stand-alone GPS units. "USA Today" offered this update: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2010-12-21-gps21_ST_N.htm

Short time ago there was topic about TSA at airports. And some users advice was to use other means of transportation to avoid checks. In light of this I'd like to say that you can't use DC Metro as well. Because Last Thursday, DC Metro officials announced that "anti-terrorism teams" will immediately begin conducting random bag searches.

I'm a seasoned traveler, but new to using a GPS device to guide me, and help find points of interest. We have a fairly large rig consisting of a 34' fifth wheel trailer and an F350 Ford diesel dual wheel truck.

Two problems commonly arise traveling with this type rig.

Finding easily accessible service stations having diesel fuel.

Happy Solstice!
