Welcome / open talk

Google and Audio are bringing google earth to vehicle GPS units. http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2009/12/google-audi-take-... From the pictures, this looks really impressive. I've been wondering when more detailed maps would be available for GPS units. Hopefully something like this will be available for hand held units soon.

Newark, NJ are getting a bunch and so will other locations

Hello to all lovers of the Olympic Winter Games, here is a bit of warmth in this cold winter`s day! You can follow live the Torch Relay across Canada!
I am putting the link here, but if this is not allowed you can take it down!

The link is: http://www.ctvolympics.ca/torch/follow-torch/index.html

You can see where the torch is on the map besides the screen!

Enjoy!

I was under the impression that the number of red light cameras in NYC was limited by government legislation. I cannot find any information on this and there seems to be a lot of new ones in Staten Island alone. Any information would be appreciated.

Anybody have a POI for good fishing location

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, to all poi members, & to the people that make this site possible, Miss POI, & Mr. Jon!!

Enjoy!

Here is a site for everone to enjoy for christmas. Does anyone have any other ones like it for us to view. Merry Christmas to All.

This week we are recognizing FredCallison and Dorkusnimrod.

Fredcallison has been plugging along on the 24 hour fitness project. You are doing a great job tracking down all these locations and making a complete file.

Dorkusnimrod, You are always the first to post new system updates and great tech support to users. We really appreciate having you in our community.

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.

Hello All,

Since this is my first post here I’ll try to make it worth your while. My name is Joseph Elfelt and I’m posting to let you know about an enhanced Google map viewer I have written that (1) can open and display data from GPX files and (2) includes the 7.5ʺ USGS/USFS topographic maps.

i just bought my third gps unit.
all three from different mfg.
all have the same local police listed as a police dept.
30 miles away, none listed for any in my county.
does anyone know how come???
thanks
geo

Will all of my XP programs and hardware work with the new OS or will i have to update the drivers?

Just stopped by after a long time away. Just wanted to see if things have changed with the Accuracy of some of the files.

In the past I left because people were focused on size of their files and points offered, rather then the accuracy of the files.

Looking through the files I see a lot of sub notes referring to increased accuracy.

As the Subject suggests per an email I received from ZAGG, they are offering "50% off everything" during a 1-day sale on Monday, December 14. So if you're planning to ZAGG your GPS but haven't done it yet, Monday's the time to buy:

http://www.zagg.com/

After download and check the POI location. While some POI location are missing, I add to file and double check for correctly.

When the original POI file create by submitter, can I upload the POI file or I have to notifiy the submitter to fix?

Can anybody upgrade it or only the submitter can do?

Which answer.

Thank
Ray

Can the Walmart POI's be loaded by state/province?

I found this interesting article that discusses the way GPS units calculate the fastest route. It's a rather interesting read:

http://www.gpsreview.net/when-is-the-fastest-route-not-the-f...

Has anyone noticed this happening? I don't get "updates" like this on my Garmin except if there is a traffic event en-route.

For all the discussion recently of cell phone carriers looking at ways to reduce data usage, maybe they ought to consider making more phones with GPS built in AND having the maps loaded onto the device rather than constantlu updating via the data plan. Maybe streaming music and downloading maps isn't a big part of data usage, but it definitely would be a way to reduce data usage somewhat.

Hello everybody
i am getting a "componant RICHTX32.ocx or on of its dependencies net correctly registered a file missing or invalid" error when i try to open extra poi editor. hellllppppp.........
