I accidently

I accidently deleted my maps from my gps unit. This occurred while downloading the maps, the USB cable was knocked off and the unit now read No detailed maps found etc... yes I did have a back up for the maps, but it was on my had drive which was lost through a system upgrade. I just don't know why the computer will not recognize the unit.

New UMPC that has GPS functionality

Here's the blurb from Navigadget's site:

If you’ve been following Navigadget you should have an idea what Viliv X70 is. In case you don’t; Viliv X70 is a communication MID, or a UMPC if you prefer to call it that. The device has a built in GPS, suction cup window mount, and cigarette lighter adapter that makes a suitable to use in your car – as a GPS navigation system.

Yellow means?

So for those of you that live in areas with redlight cameras does the yellow now mean something different?

Green = GO.
Yellow = Stop.
Red = Hold until green.

Other usages Nobody Does It Better

Air New Zealand adopted the song's title as an advertising slogan, but removed it following the Erebus disaster in 1979.

A small element of the tune makes an appearance in a later Bond film For Your Eyes Only, as an audio lock to the Indentigraph in Q branch.

In the 1980s, KDBC-TV, a local CBS affiliate in El Paso, Texas, used the song in a few of their station idents.

Easy way to see different forums

I know this might be a complete newbie question, but can anyone tell me how to go and find the forum overview homepage?

I can't seem to find it anywhere... i want to be able to search by different forums and I haven't found out this interface at all.

Thanks!

"My discussions" button on POI

Has the "My discussions" feature on POI, where you click it on this page
http://www.poi-factory.com/forum
and it lists out the threads in which you've added a post, stopped working for everybody? It's not been working for me on either FF3 or IE8 for the past week or so, but I'm wondering if it might be a setting in my security software that's blocking it from working.

Worth thinking about?

Here's a thought for discussion.

Tom Tom and now Navigon (remember them?) have both announced navigation software for the iPhone. Garmin is supposed to release the much anticipated Nuviphone (or whatever they are going to call it) sometime this year after delay upon delay.
