Learned Something New
I have been a regular visitor to this site for over a year and always wondered what the symbols stood for next to the user ID. Some had more and others had none.
I was going to ask Miss POI but felt embarrassed to ask. Today I happened to move my mouse over a symbol and paused a few seconds "whal-la" there it was the meaning of the symbol.
Nice to know what I am.

Gel pads
One of my cars has quite a sloping dash and my sandbag mount doesn't want to stay put, works fine in my other car. Anyway a friend has a couple of sticky gel pads that were given to him that he sits his 750 on because he was having the same problem in his truck. He says they work great.

Very elementary POI question
Sorry to even bring this up...
What is the purpose of creating a POI file for a particular named organization? For example, why would I want to create a list of all WalMarts? It seems that wherever I am, if I wanted to find the closest WalMart I would just do a standard lookup.

Enforcing the License Plate law in Mass.
FYI
We were stopped the other afternoon by a Mass. State Trooper.
He advised that our license plate covers were no longer legal. Unfortunately, the auto part shops in Mass. don't know about this. We stopped in and told the C.A.P. store we bought our covers from.

Factory installed POI
Hey
I was wondering if when you update the maps does it update the factory installed POIs? Or are the ones installed the only ones you get? (Of course not counting the great ones we can download here).

Using Two GPSs Devices At Once
Last night I made a trip and used two GPS devices at the same time. I have a Garmin Nuvi 500 and a Pharos GPS Phone 600 with Garmin Mobile XT. I really didn't originally intend to use two at once, but I bought the Nuvi 500 recently and I put it in my pickup, but I already had the Pharos in the pickup, so I put in the address that I was heading to.

Has anybody ever converted their family members or friends to use a GPS completely and forget about maps/printing directions??
My Story:
1.) I bought a brand new Garmin Nuvi 760 GPS during black friday last year for $151.
2.) Mother still uses googlemaps/mapquest paper directions in addition to GPS today.

Dead Quiet!
Hi Folks,
I don't know about your town but it's scary dead around these parts! I know so many of my friends that have been laid-off as well as my wife having her hours cut that it's not pretty. Combine that with the cost of fuel and groceries going up, I feel like I'm on a sinking ship here.

Newbie Questions
My Garmin Nuvi 780 is coming in a couple days. This is my firs GPS unit, and while I've used them a little, I don't know all that much about their more advanced features. I have several questions that will seem ridiculous to some, but here they are:

No addresses or phone numbers when importing POI's on 265wt
on my "old" nuvi 750 I would see the address and phone numbers for most POI's I imported, however on my new 265wt I don't have any of the address or phone number information when I access the custom POI's from the extra's menu...any ideas? Also, as I am a newer to the forum, please let me know if I have posted this in the wrong forum...

General Maintainer Status
I'm so sorry if this is a repeat post. It seems like it would have already been covered by someone, but I just can't find the answer. I promise I've read the faq's and searched quite a few posts, but can't find the answer I'm looking for. I think my question is a simple one. My question is:
What is "general maintainer status?"

Screen Protector's
Does anyone have an idea what type of screen protector is best for a widescreen 4x3 I think they are? I bought one before and it did not cover the whole thing the way I thought it would.

Netbook with GPS function
Thought that folks here would find this of more than passing interest. I did a search of the POI Factory site and found that nothing had been posted about it:
Asus just announced ASUS Eee PC T91 - a netbook with 8.9″ swivel touchscreen and a GPS receiver.

How do I download a poi?
I located a great Poi for Wineries.
I downloaded the csv but wasn't sure if I open or save it to my designated file.
I see bmp and mp3 files. I assume they download, but have not discovered how.
Wino needs help!!
