Welcome / open talk

This week we are recognizing Bakroder for his contribution of Football Stadium files over the last few months. I can imagine that it is very helpful for you sports fans when you are traveling to cities to support your home team.

Thank you so much for all your hard work on these projects. To see the list go to this link: http://www.poi-factory.com/user/237802

Okay, this is interesting...

Have your in-dash GPS stolen, then reinstalled by a car dealership....

Heads up. Woot is offering a Motorola GPS for $45. Probably a discontinued item but the price is hard to beat. http://www.woot.com/

For those not familiar with Woot, the company offers one item for sale each day (unless there's a special Woot-Off going on) and it's only available until sold out.

Cheers

The Act Of Remembrance

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.

And may we ever pray

" Lord God of Hosts,
Be with us yet,
Lest we forget,
Lest we forget."

I recently went to Myrtle Beach and we ran into several, unusually slow speed limits, when it did not seem warranted. We figured it was done to generate money for the local police.

Does anyone know of a website that would should the speeds of any particular stretch of highway? My NUVI 350 does not show this info.

This should raise the collective POI Factory blood pressure. It's called ASSET (Advanced Safety and driver Support for Essential road Transit.) A trailer equipped with multiple cameras, radar etc. that could bust a motorist for five or more infractions at a time. Details here: http://dvice.com/archives/2010/11/big-brother-tra.php

I was about to purchase a Garmin Nulink 1695 and read a review that said the 1695 was ad supported,I couldn't believe this since #1 they are so expensive and #2 you have to pay for the service after the first year and the premium features weather etc is a paid for feature from the first year.I called Garmin and I spoke to a rep and he checked and found out it is indeed ad supported the traffic,I

I have a Garmin 1450 and I was wondering if instead of changing the recalculating to something cute etc,can it be changed to just recalculate the course with out saying anything like the Magellan GPS do.

Just curious. I wonder how many POI Factory members there are!

I have a question for the GPS community. I've got a Garmin 255W and I've recently been told that I shouldn't leave the GPS in the car (even in a case inside the console) because the screen can freeze and break.

I haven't heard this before and I would like to leave the GPS in the car so it is always available, but I don't want any problems either.

Map updates should be cheaper.

"INRIX has packed existing and new traffic information technology under this new premium, real-time and predictive traffic service that rolls out now in the United States, Canada, and six European countries with 12 additional markets expected in 2011."

Does anyone know if there is a site that posts map software for other countries ie. Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad or any of the other Carribean countries?

This week we are recognizing ScotW for his outstanding work on the Subway Restaurant project file.

What a huge undertaking this is. Thank you so much for adding this to our catalog.

Hey all. Just looking at replacing a new GPS that has failed me too many times the past month. Anyhow, I came across this site in my searches. Didn't even know you could customize and add POI files. Good stuff!
