Welcome / open talk

I was just reading this article in Forbes and it was a real eye opener about how some areas are really suffering far worse then the rest of the Country.

Ohio has 5 of the top 20 most Miserable Cities in the list with Cleveland picked as the most miserable.

I always click Preview on my posts first before I click Submit. Just in the last day or two, when I click Preview, it just blanks the editor and starts over. Is anyone else seeing this? It only does with when I'm using Firefox. No problem with IE 8.

i am having a hard time instaling mi icons what file on the garmin do i need to find to install the icons i rename all my icons fles to bmp but still no working thank

I'll start off by saying that I love to drive. Many of our vacations over the recent years have been long distance driving trips between 4000 and 8000 miles, normally lasting just over a week. Our trips have "must see" POIs, optional ones depending on time and of course ones we find when we talk to locals.

I'd post this in the garmin but will ask here. I have a slightly older model, Garmin Nuvi 250W, the wide model. The USB mini jack is busted. Anyone know if they still sell the part? It used to be on ebay all the time but don't see any there. Me and a friend are going to attempt the replacement. Thanks.

I was away from POI Factory and Internet about 1 month due to a few difficulties. Well, I am back. Can't even remember where I put my GPS

It's a great place to be back.

Hello to ALL.

Wifey and I are headed out at the end of the month (from Houston) on a 7 day road trip with no set plans other than taking her to Carlsbad Caverns. Was wondering what there is to see in the mid to eastern half of NM.

Was somewhat planning on making a loop from Houston -> San Antonio ->Carlsbad NM -> Santa Fe NM ->Amarillo TX ->Abeline ->Houston.

Might entertain going across to Arizona.

Turns out Florida may have an issue here:

Who was giving away donuts on I-81 in Virginia on Sunday? There were at least 15 (Maybe more) troopers seen in just one hour. Stop the donut abuse.

Hello All,

I am brand new to the POI Factory and I just tried downloading my first POI files. It seemed as if everything went successfully and I got the message saying successful download of 14 new location but I don't see any new files on my Garmin. Where did I go wrong?

Tonight I lost the love of my life. My wife of 30 years passed away after complications from a brain operation. She had been suffering for several months now and is at peace. She was a very young 54 years old.

For those of you that have sent me updates to my files, please be patient with me as I will get back to this as soon as I am up to it. Please do keep sending any updates you may have.

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...

This thread will be closed on Monday and a new one will be opened.

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.
