I don't know if any of you have been paying attention to many of the Avatars used here, but I owe mine to two different users.

Rayzers animated it for me and BobDee modified it so it shows "POI-FACTORY." If you are having problems with getting your avatar "just right" I suggest you drop a note to these two.

Thanks guys!

After a year in Baghdad with the Army, I have now returned. I have also changed duty stations. I left Fort Hood, TX and am now assigned to the Norfolk Naval Station. Imagine that, an Army guy on the Navy base. This will be interesting. I look forward to catching up on all the discussion posts that I have missed for the past year.

I was looking at walmarts website and noticed they no longer have garmin 265wt, also noticed the price of the garmin 265t was $125.54 I thought they were under a hundred before like around $70-$80.

I don't know if this has been discussed before ,but what are the pros and cons of Streets and Trips to Garmin Mobile PC on a net book for a passenger to use,any help?

I am a new user and just starting to look at some POI files, where do I suggest updates to specific POI files?

Thanks to all for responses yesterday about RoadMate Tools software. Magellan tech support today said the 1700 will not allow POI uploads to the unit. Wish I knew that before I bought it! Sorry I won't be able to use all the wonderful stuff from this site. Thanks anyway...

I just found out about this site as well.
And yes, I just came from under a rock
I have the GPS nuvi 650 for 3-4 yrs now and I just start to adding POI.
Thanks

I've just received a response from NAVTEQ regarding a map error report I submitted. Unfortunately the report was from February 2008, but it is nice to know I could help. Recently I sent a map error report to Garmin and received a response in two days.

I just purchased a Magellan RoadMate 1700 7inch screen.It did not come with a software disk and this site says to uae RoadMate Tools to download poi data to the gps. Does anyone know where I can get it?

Thanks

Hi
Any chance of a United Kingdom specific area for POI's that relate to that part of the world please?

I notice that unless the country that the POI relates to isn't specifically included in the file description then its hard to search for (obviously).

Any help or suggestions most welcome from this COW

I would like to suggest updates to a list (http://www.poi-factory.com/node/16277), however the contributor does not have Contact tab. Is there a trick?
Thanks, Alex

Hi All!

While I have read the FAQ " How Do I Update A File That Is Already On The Site?", when I contact the kind person who has already established a POI file, what information is required?

Is the address enough or are the GPS coordinates also required ?

I'm sorry if this has already been covered. When I use the "additions and corrections" search term, I get 80 pages of hits...

I just found out about this site. Thanks for creating such cool sharing site.

The latest in the saga of Toyota, the California incident, the runaway Prius....a hoax?

Toyota spokesman John Hanson would not comment on what the company would say at the news conference, but said Toyota and investigators for NHTSA were able to pull data off the Prius' control computer.

This week we are recognizing Catholic_Chris: http://www.poi-factory.com/user/176263 for his outstanding contribution of RC Diocese of the UK. Great Job!!!

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.
