Welcome / open talk

A heads up for anyone that didn't already know. I wanted a hard copy of my manual so I took the PDF file to Staples and had them print in in black and white, color is way too high, and had them do a spiral binding. They put a clear plastic cover on the front and a black cover sheet on the back.

I have put together a POI in the Fuel and Truck stop section for Canadian Tire gas bars in Manitoba,Saskatchewan and Albeta. If any one finds any ones that I have missed or have the wrong coordinates please let me know and I will update the POI. This is a work in progress and thanks for any help that you give me.

Good evening everyone. I'm looking at purchasing a new 2010 GMC Terrain. They make this vehicle with a built in hard drive GPS (not a DVD unit, but actual hard drive with the GPS files on it).

I hope I am asking this in the appropriate place.
How do I download an icon to attach to a folder so when I download POI's the icon will appear?
This is a good forum and has helped me a great deal in understanding and using my new Garmin.

Thank you,
Ken

Our vessel is at Green Turtle Bay. We are back in Canada.I'm trying to get some idea as to marinas along the way.We do about 8 miles,speed over ground,,therefore could do 80 miles a day if 10 hr. days are possible?
Weather?

IS anyone able to direct me to such a list with mileage or distance between each Marina.

I am buying an SD card for my 750. If I buy a micro card and pop it into an SD card holder, do they work OK, or is there a down side to doing it that way?

I am considering a stand alone GPS and am looking for suggestions. It would be good to get something under $250. Thank you in advance for your information.

Running red lights and exceeding the speed limits are traffic offences in most jurisdictions. The penalty is generally a fine, and sometimes "penalty points". There are of course many other traffic laws we can break and be punished for. The punishment is also usually a minimum of a fine.

Today's local paper indicated that Staples would sell a $219 nuvi for $119. I checked online today and found where they would be selling the nuvi 255w for $120.

Garmin nuvi 225W Portable 4.3" GPS System - $119.99
TomTom Go 830 Portable 4.3" GPS System - $169.99
TomTom XL 330 Portable GPS System w/ Free Case MIR - $99.99
TomTom XXL 530S GPS System - $149.99

Hi!

I've been gone a while. It's time to replace my aged Nuvi 360. I've always used Garmin but this is 2009.

In the United States, which is the best choice for the money now; Garmin or TomTom?

I've heard TomTom's maps have significantly improved and I like the option of being to update my maps/download approved maps which TomTom now offers.

Have you visited the website listed below?
It is another source for POI's.

I just read a message stating that a file had the wrong coordinates for its POI. I also had this problem with the Homehardware canada file. its about a 1 km or more out of place.
