MSN Direct "lifetime" no longer available.
I am really bumbed. I just bought another 885T, thinking I would purchase another lifetime verion of MSN Direct but after calling MSN Direct, I learned that it was no longer offered. Only the free trial and the annual at $49.95. If I had known this a week ago, I could have purchased the lifetime version from them. Too late now. I am surprised that I didn't see this in any posts, here.

Navteq Map reporter test and help needed.
I would like to test the theory that the more reports/hits they get on a map update the sooner it gets into the database.

GPS causing truckers to crash into bridges!
Here's another reason you should be watching the road more than your GPS 
-----------

"ALBANY, N.Y. — New York state wants to crack down on truckers who rely on satellite devices to direct them onto faster but prohibited routes and end up crashing into overpasses that are too low for their rigs".

This is probably a dumb question, I have a Nuvi 1350, how can I tell what map update version I have on my machine

Really just a big thanks
I have had my nuvi 780 now for almost 3 months. If I had simply taken it out of the box and set it on my dash I think I would have been bored by it by now.
Sure it was absolutely great on my recent vacation, but daily around town it is more of a toy.
However, after finding The POI Factory, I have to say you all have changed a neat toy into a fun project.

iPhone GPS Hack
For those of us who forever love to tinker with stuff (I have a Nuvi 650 and just bought a 3GS iPhone), this link is about this:
Ever wish your iPod touch or older generation iPhone had GPS capability? Now it can by using a Bluetooth GPS module along with the roqyGPS app.

NYT Article on GPS App Gets Crowdsourced Traffic Updates
See here...
...for a NYT article on GPS App Gets Crowdsourced Traffic Updates.
From the article
There is a Texas cage grudge match between two navigation technologies that are vying for dashboard dominance. In one corner are GPS-equipped mobile phones with turn-by-turn software. In the other corner are portable dash-top GPS units.
