This is a little off topic, but a lot of us seem to like to have the latest maps and I thought that some of you would enjoy it.

Does anybody has badlands loop (240) lookout POIs

Thanks.

Just bought one. On my Nuvi 350 my SD card has a subdirectory Garmin\poi to put all the poi's I've downloaded here.

On my new Nuvi 1350, what's the directory structure to put poi's on my micro SD card?

I noted that the nuvi 1350 doesn't use the words "Custom POI's." It seems to use the word "Extras." I think that's where the poi's should show up when loaded.

Thanks for your help.

I want to buy another GPS, one that reliable, free traffic and free map update. Please give me some advices. Thanks

This week we are recognizing Charlesd45.

When January rolls around I am not going to have to do a lot of thinking about one of our Contributor of the year recipients, this guy already has it in the bag and we are not even halfway through the year yet.

You amaze me on a daily basis, we love having such happy helpful people around.

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.

This is the first I have heard of this.

I know there are a few of us motorcycle riders that have GPS so I thought I would share what I was told today by an lawyer and part time Judge for traffic volations. In the Phoenix area he said any PHOTO radar pictures of people with helmet and face shield that cant' be identified can't be prosocuted.

Hi,
Just getting started with adding POIs to my Garmin 765. I've already added the Rest Areas and I really like the idea of proximity alerts for things like that, but I'm curious about what kinds of POIs people are using proximity alerts for? Or, for that matter, when you might use the alert based on speed, as the option in POILoader allows you to configure.

One about 6 months old in southern Maryland. Just passed by it yesterday off route 301.

The coordinates are:
N 38 degrees 40.235 min
W 76 degrees 52.387 min

It doesn't exist in the databases I have for Costco. It includes a gas station.

Hope this helps.

Attention duffers - the Brooklyn, NY Attractions file has been updated with 2 new entries: Dyker Beach Golf Course and Marine Park Golf Course. Both locations are 18 hole facilities. Thanks go to ALANROBIN1 for the coordinates!

Just bought a Garmin 1350 at Costco for $129.99 (free shipping). That's a heck of a lot cheaper than what I paid $350 + shipping for my 3 year old Nuvi 350.

Hope this one works out as well, but if it doesn't, I very much like Costco's return policy.

Anything I need to on the look for???

I have been using nav systems since the late 70's (yes I am a dinosaur) remember Loran C? How about Loran A?

Springteq (springteq.com) has announced a HUD for GPS systems. Looks like it could be a nice feature.

Its time for the World Cup Soccer Again.
Its a long shot but my first choice -USA
2nd Is Italia.
Who do you think will win the Cup?

Yea. After 46 weeks I got a windmill! Now, the question.

To maintain active status one must "post". Does this mean creating a new "post" or simply responding to one that already exists?

From the WSOCTV website in SC. I wonder why they listed his home address:

[BELMONT, N.C. -- Our newspaper partner, The Gaston Gazette, is reporting that state troopers stopped a distracted driver who blazed through Belmont at 102 mph while a 4-year-old girl slept in the backseat of his sport utility vehicle early Saturday.

I searched the forum for information concerning Flying J providing a complete list of their travel plazas, but only found information concerning the evolution of the current file at POI factory.

This week we are recognizing Mbrun for his Counties and County Seats Project. Here is a link to his list of files: http://www.poi-factory.com/user/199150

In his description of all of his files he states the following:
