Hi All,

If a diagnostic screen exists on the Nuvi 880, how do I access it?

Thanks for your time.

Turboccc, You just keep pumping out the programs and making thing so much easier around here. We really appreciate your skills and energy. Thanks for all that you do for this community.

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.

Does anyone have any experience with a GPS for tracking dogs? If so, then it would be good to get your input on brands and reliability. Thank you in advance for your information.

It's 15% off everything in the store but they sell GPS mounts for most brands. I've bought from them six times with no problems.

Just a FYI for those shopping.

Ok, so I haven't played around with my GPSr for awhile. Can anyone tell me the best way to suck in a POI file into something so that I can see where all the POIs are on a map.

I want to check a few of my "attractions" POI files to see if we will be going close to any of them while traveling up to Rochester, NY tomorrow.

I was successful downloading poi files and have them working on my garmin 465t.

I just can't download the mp3 files,every time i double click on the attachment,all it does is play the sound without downloading the file.

Also I've heard of a TourGuide file,where do i find it.

Thanks in advance for your help

PS this site is awesome

Buried in the Virginia Tech study stating a 23-fold increase in collision risk while texting is a negligible risk in talking on a cell phone while driving.

Here's a link to a column in Denver Post discussing the finding. http://www.denverpost.com/carroll/ci_12969052?source=rsshome...

I am trying to find a website that could possibly give me speed limits for streets within a city. I have gone to the city websites and none of them have any information on speed limits.

If you could direct me to some information, I'd appreciate it!

MrKen, would you check your email re: Rest Area file and get back to me please?

Heard this on the news this morning and had to post it. What won't the gps world think of next.

Looking for the ultimate POI. Of course, it must be in Lower Alabama which leaves most places out. Hardee's, McDonald's, Golden Corral, Cracker Barrel's and the like are out of the question. Red Lobster? Outback Steak House? Some Seafood restaurant in Panama City or Panama City Beach, FL.

I am trying my darnest to make it to 50, but it sure is difficult.

How good is the POI file for Low Clearance? I know that it should be only used as a guide and not all bridges are on there, but how many people actually think its an accurate file?

Hey

Ive been tinkering with the Extra POI Editor tool, its amazing.

i want to use it though, to submit my poi files in a different formats. I see some poi files are indeed in at least 2 formats. TomTom, Garmin CSV, Garmin's extended GPX...

Whats not clear to me is how exactly to submit the different formats so they're all there... It looks like submiting a csv will replace the gpx....

Hi,

As my moniker indicates, I no little re GPS. I see Costco sells the Magellan 1340 for $100 (and saw the thread here about it, very helpful) and the Garmen nuvi 1265 for $219.

As best as I can see, the Garmen is larger, bluetooth compatible and has lifetime traffic - those seem to be the primary differences - are there others.

I don't know if any of the POI Factory members really care what chip is in their GPS device, but SiRF has just released a new chip with some interesting sounding features. Here is the URL:

Hi everyone.

Was trawling the net trying to find materials for my own POI files when I came across this entry on www.localsearch.com:
