Welcome / open talk

Are you trying to keep track of all the touchdowns by tornados?

If so what is your source for data?

Didn't see Anadarko, OK in the list, which was just hit by an F2. Actually there were 4 other hits in Oklahoma on the same night.

Was looking over some of the info in my GPS today like I do on a rare occasion and it appears that my unit somehow messed up... see image below (if it loads)

Below is a rather interesting article to read in the spare time.

Has anyone tried this before?

Navteq today launched a beta showcase of its latest road navigation technology and a future rival to the Google Maps website.

The new site, at http://navteq.com allows users to plan road routes worldwide in 77 countries using draggable interactive 3D maps.

The May 3, 1999 F5+ Tornado in Oklahoma was on the ground for 100 miles, and was anywhere from 1/3 mile to over 1/2 mile wide. That's a long strike.

How do I create a file for others to use? I would like to do a few things if possible.

A little off the subject about a gps but we all need our computer for the gps.I was reading this article in the paper this morning about the Novatel MiFi 2200 available from Verizon and found it to be interesting. See http://www.mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Id=7019 .

This week we are recognizing Hernt and Talikarni.

Hernt, You have been instrumental in keeping me up to date on all the towns in IL that are implementing red light camera systems over the last few weeks. I really appreciate all the help you have been providing.

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.

Can't do this in Canada... I think this Wisconsin decision might be challenged.

" MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin police can attach GPS to cars to secretly track anybody's movements without obtaining search warrants, an appeals court ruled Thursday. "

I thought maybe someone with the knowledge of how to create and edit POI's could update the location of the Walmart in Hayward, Wisconsin. It is currently about 7 or 8 miles south of the true location. I don't know how to make this change to POI's or I would attempt to do the change myself. I don't know what the lon/lat positions are, but here is the current address.

Hello,
we are in USA (TN and other states arround TN) for holidays in May/June and in the manual of our garmin nuvi we read something about usage of gps in cars in USA.
So, we want to ask, if it´s legal to put our gps on the front window of our rental car or if it is illegal???

This is the day where we wish Happy Mother's Day to all the patient mothers of the World.

May they enjoy this day and all the other days of the year (with or without their GPS!!)

Haven't figured out why there are two types of files for Garmin the csv and gpx both do the same thing I.ve looked at them both in POI editor and see no difference. Both work actually the same way do the same things. What was the point?

I uploaded several POIs for Gas stations TimHortons Rerd Light Camera and speed zones updates.I don't see them on here.Where did they go?

There are factory refurb Nuvi 660 models being sold on Ebay which do NOT have the expected FM transmitter. This may not be a big deal, since the transmitter is weak, and not very useful on many vehicles, but you should know before you buy. Some of the auction items neglect to mention this. Still, not a bad deal. I paid less than $150.

I have uploaded a new Low Clearance File. It is not complete nor 100% accurate. I have been cleaning it, adding locations and descriptions. Any input from the community will be greatly appreciated.
