Welcome / open talk

Any one else either going or working the Jimmy Buffet concert in Gulf Shores, AL? I (and Jill) am working one of 130 bus shuttles tonight.

Michigan is not listed as one of the States in the Red Light & Speed Cameras POI list. Is the state list just not updated or is there no information yet for Michigan?

I see in the rest area POI file that some rest areas don't allow trucks (marked NT). Are these areas large enough for a pick up towing a travel trailer?

I'm at the very preliminary stage of planning out a road trip in September from Phoenix to Land between the Lakes in KY then to Chicago then to Boston then to Connecticut down to NC and back.

Any "must do" or "must sees" are welcome.

There must be no other sports news - An 1 hr "The Decision" show. I am so tired of hearing about Lebron and the team he is going to play for. Upwards of $100M is crazy money not only for Lebron but for other players like Wade, Bosh, Stoudemire, etc. Even Boozer picked up $80M.

For those into Genealogy and GPS, I found something neat. It's called "Map My Ancestors", and lets you link the individuals in your family tree to the mapping capabilities of Google Earth. It's only $20.00. http://download.cnet.com/Map-My-Ancestors/3000-2127_4-108547...

i came across this downloadable App for WAZE

it's realy cool

How can I send maps/ Address from mapquest and google map to garmin NUvi775t

Just downloaded the POI's for bigfoot sightings! Can't wait to check out on my Garmin Venture HC! Just happened on this site by luck looks great! Any help on loading poi's to gps would be great!

Just want to give a big thank you to this website and community. I've never owned a GPS, so when my dad wanted my help picking one and setting it up I had to get a 'crash course' in GPS info. This site's POI listings, FAQ's and the forum community we're extremely valuable.

We only have 9 days for our roadtrip from Phoenix, AZ to Yellowstone. We're leaving July 18 and have to be back by the 26th. This is our first ever roadtrip and we have 3 kids ages 13, 11 and 3 and we're taking our Sienna minivan (that means we need to stop in hotels to sleep).

When I downloaded "Rest Areas - Combined" I got all 2150 locations. How can I delete the ones I do not want before downloading to my Garmin? Or once downloaded, how can I erase specific ones from a Garmin 1390T?

This week we are recognizing T923347 as our star of the week.

You scoot through the forums in your cute little car helping where you can.

Thank you so much for all that you do for our community.

This is the place to talk about things that are not gps related.

Have fun...

I purchased the red light alerts and wish to use the use the Emily mp3. I have communicator and POI loader, I am able to load the POI files but not the mp3's (although I can drag it over into the mp3 section). Any suggestions on getting Emily to speak the alerts? Thanks

The reality is that most drivers move along at what they consider to be a safe speed for the conditions regardless of the posted limit. To minimize accidents, the limit should therefore be the speed at which 85 percent of the drivers are moving.

In 2006, the Michigan legislature passed a law requiring speed limits to be set based on such traffic studies.

Wishing all our southern neighbors a very happy and safe holiday.

I just do!

Happy Birthday America!!!!!

Taking my daughters up to Norfolk/Virginia Beach area next week. Any POI recommendations? Are there any good POIs that might show proported haunted sites in that area?

I am new to this site and to GPS. I recently bought a Gramin nuvi 205 and used it getting to/from Warren Pa. It worked very well, though it didn't take me the way I would have necessarily gone.
