Welcome / open talk

We are taking a grip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. When we arrive at Cape Hatteras Light house we will proceed south to Myrtle Beach SC. Will my GPS know I might want to take the two ferries enroute?

This week we are recognizing MaRa & Sirkull.

MaRa, http://www.poi-factory.com/user/206702 in the short time that you have been here you have made improvements to our Canadian collection of files. You also send me an icon for each file, which is very appreciated.

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

Have fun...

How do you go about installing voices or different cars onto your GPS. I havea garmin 285 with a usb cable and figured I could hook it up through the computer some how to install. Does anyone know how?

are now under legal challenge. Stay tuned!

Of particular interest (Miss POI) is the map locating the cameras around the area:

I have just changed my “WaterFalls of the U.S.A” http://www.poi-factory.com/node/27960 to CSV file because the GPX file was damaged. Please let me know if there is a problem with this new file!!
thanks.

Some people have a built-in compass, and others have a marked lack of a sense of direction, says this article:

Why is it that the same folks who don't obey speed limits/red lights also feel they don't have to follow the forum rules?

I'm referring to the group of people who insist on posting red light/speed camera topics in the Open Talk forum rather than posting such topics in the designated Ticket Cameras forum.

Regarding the traffic cameras, how do the cities get around the 6th amendment that gives us the right to confront our accuser?

I had wondered about this before but this thought was reawakened when it was brought up in one of my favorite TV shows, "The Big Bang Theory"

I imagine that the answer will contain a bunch of legal mum-bo-jumbo. LOL

I will drive my car from Ottawa to Toronto coming Sat. I searched my GPS and Google Map, but they both have two suggestions. 1st hwy 15 and hwy 401, 2nd hwy 416 and hwy 401. Which one is better? Thanks.

Just heard that the 8.8 quake moved the Earth 3" on it's axis. Amazing the power of the planet.

Hi, just got a Zumo 550 for my KLR650 and was wondering what some good POIs would be to download for it and if anyone has any tips/ suggestions with working with the Zumo. Thank you!

I have a suction cup mount that isn't staying on a windshield. What are the best suggestions of readers here to keep it on? Should I clean the windshield with Windex or alcohol? Does something else work better? I even saw a post somewhere that suggested a bit of Vaseline to help keep a seal.

Hope no one has family or friends in Chile. If so they are ok. Looks like Hawaii is getting ready for some bad weather also.

I just bought a Garmin 285W and was wondering if anyone had any cool tips for it.
