Welcome / open talk

That's 9/9/09

Have a very lucky day!

This week we are recognizing Moose135, Jeff1140, Dobs108 & Bluesubaru.

These 4 members did one great job in assisting me with the Nassau County New York red light camera updates over the last few weeks.

I just want to let you guys know that I really have felt like I had a top notch team making sure that I had the correct info.

Just a short note to wish everyone on the POI Factory a Happy Labor Day. Hope you are all having nice weather today.

This is the place to talk about things that are not gps related.

Have fun...

Intersting read http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/07/technology/07kindle.html?h... have any of you had Garmin or any other maker notify you when they have found a lost or stolen item?

I see POIedit is referenced on the main POI page for use in converting POI formats.

Extra_POI_Editor also works very well for that and is free and very well supported on this site.

Please also reference it.

Please let me know if I should direct this request someplace else.

Thanks.

Well, having the POIs for all the crossovers on the Interstate Highways in Virginia won't be much help from now on.

The VA State Troopers are all getting the new handheld Laser Speed detectors. Much more accurate and the beam is extremely narrow when compared to a Radar Unit. It's much harder to beat in court, because you can't claim that it was the vehicle beside you.

Changed nuvi voice to Australian English-Karen, originally it sounded quite pleasing, untill I noticed that she’s continuously mispronouncing commonly used words; specifically, “recalculating” or instead of I405, its “I four hundred and five”
Is this on purpose?

Thanks,

I was about to get rid of my old Streetpilot C580 for something a bit more modern, something that could do redlight cameras maybe? So after a brief internet search, a couple of downloads and ta-da, it looks like I will be keeping my faithful 580 just a little while longer. Thanks Poi-factory and I hope to make a contribution to the site.

With Labor Day weekend right in front of us, what trips are people planning? Is anyone planning to visit someplace new that was posted here?

Ticketing tiff ends with courtroom gunfire
Residents fed up with speed traps in tiny town that has seven officers

JERICHO, Ark. - It was just too much, having to return to court twice on the same day to contest yet another traffic ticket, and Fire Chief Don Payne didn't hesitate to tell the judge what he thought of the police and their speed traps.

Ok I am new to this so here is my question. I downloaded the restroom POI and I see it on the Garmin Nuvi 255W. Now I am going on a 200 mile ride and was wondering if those restrooms will show up on my new route. Is there anything I need to do besides create the route?

Thank you,
Rick

I thought it would be useful to have a thread listing all the software and applications that complement GPS users, that others may find handy.

If useful enough, this may be added to the FAQ thread for future reference.

I'll start with a couple of applications:

At least that's what Navteq is claiming in their press release:

I wonder if Navteq funded the study? The NuStats website doesn't appear to list Navteq as a client.

This week we are recognizing Frogger4me, Bwarden and Houleja.

Frogger4me, You have submitted some really fantastic files for the Michigan area. Thanks so much for that.

I do not see a button for reporting SPAM or other inappropriate threads to the moderators.

Is there a process that should be followed?
