Welcome / open talk

hi everyone.

i finally got my double stars.. but i was curious.. when the double stars were pinned on me.. something happened to my profile photo .. the one with the pyramid at the louvre... it was replaced by the double star badge..

was this because the moderators here dont want me to have the pyramid as my profile pic?

I have automatic headlights in my car and I leave it on auto. It's great, I never ever have to worry about whether the headlight is on or off, and never have to manually turn it on or off.

However, my parents, in-laws, friends who have auto-headlights in their cars, never use them.

Hello, this is my first post and I want introduce myself with a question, does Connecticut has any red light cameras, does patrols with radar guns are considered.

It sounds like the POI Factory's Rest Areas Combined file may have lots of scheduled work ahead of it as its locations shrink to 0:

Hello I'm new, Names William and i had a question was wondering if there is an option on the site for email updates of POI's there are so many great POI's here *much better then most sites i've been too* but a few i've downloaded are admittedly in the description as uncomplete and was wondering if there was an option to receive an email when these are updated so i can download the updated files.

Not sure how good a deal this is. Nice to get the Europe maps included but if you don't need Europe maps, maybe not so cheap.

My favorite drive is the "Million Dollar Highway", Durango to Ouray Colorado. Fantastic views. Waterfalls. It is a narrow paved road that's on a ledge most of the time. If you don't like ledge roads with few barriers, than this isn't the road for you, but if you can the scenery is amazing.

Look forward to seeing other drives.

HI. I GUESS I CAN BE CALLED A NEWBIE. MY FATHER AND I PURCHASED A GARMIN AND WE'RE STILL TRYING TO GET USED TO THIS UNIT. THE 205 SERIES NUVI. JUST WONDERING IF A COMPLETE DETAILED MAP OF THE PHILIPPINES IS AVAILABLE.

Although I love the new BETA Red Light Camera file, I have trouble seeing some of the addresses on my Nuvi 4.3 inch screen. If I had a Nuvi 3 inch screen the problem would be even much more apparent.

While speaking with Garmin T/S, today, I was told that they had gotten advance notice that the Nu Map updates would be out next week.

What do you think?

I picked up a 2009 GMC Sierra truck that's a flex-fuel vehicle, so it can run on gasoline or E85 ethenol. Is there a POI file that lists the locations where E85 fuel can be bought...or is it changing too often to keep up with? There is a website that tracks locations and prices, but I'm not always able to get online when traveling.

This week we are recognizing SKYKINGC and Donaldb530.

Both of these members have been busy helping our POI File Managers keep their files up to date by submitting lots of new updates.

We really appreciate the contributions that you two have been making to improve the files in our community.

Great Job!!!

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.

MaryAnn Melby AKA Miss POI

I just received a TT1 v2 and have been busy at work customizing it to my taste. New navcore and maps were just a start and now I'm looking for POI's and icons.

I'm glad to have found this site since most of the other POI sites I've been on were unorganized and unmaintained.

Please be patient while I figure stuff out. Hopefully, I'll learn quick enough to start contributing.

When I go near and through a certain redlight intersection with my Kna_g510 it will not tell me of a red light at that intersection most of the time.It will once a week or so,All my other local alerts work consistently.
Has anyone else noticed this or had this happen?

I've tried to download an alert sound for Caribou coffee and when I click on the mp3 file I get a IE page that says unable to load that file.

I've tried a few others and get the same error.

Is the alert sound library down or am I doing something wrong?

thanks

Where else but Florida could a place like Jimbo's exist?

Iam just starting to learn how to download these POI files. I can't get the POI loader to download the bmp files to the Garmin. I have renamed all the bpm files exactly the same as the cvs files. Do the files have to be downloaded together? Do they have to be in the same file and if so how do you do that?

for those of you who may be wondering,

the skuttlebutt on twitter is that the geocaching.com website, and apparently all the groundspeak sites, are down due to a datacenter fire in seattle. no idea when it will be back up.
