Welcome / open talk

Hi, anybody lives or familiar with the DuPont Circle area of D.C.? I'll be in D.C. for a business conference in mid-July. My wife and I enjoy Thai and Malaysia cuisines. We would like some recommendations about that near DuPont Circle. If it is really good, we don't even mind driving a little. There will be time to kill after all day meetings and so on.

Thanks in advance

Miss. POI I was wondering if the software for this site had the capability for the standard user to flag topics that need to be merged?

Although from the UK, I found this article rather interesting. I know some people out in Colorado Springs that keep these satellites aligned correctly, and will check the validity of the story.

This week we are recognizing Bilson and Ghayman.

Bilson, You put Brainerd MN on the map this week with all of your files located here: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/22508
Great Job!!!

Ghayman, you just keep writing articles that are very helpful to all Nuvi lovers out there. It is really fantastic to have you as one of our site celebrities.

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.

Miss POI

Anyone familiar with these in dash GPS units in new vehicles? Are they any better than my portable Garmin unit or not worth the price upgrade to the new vehicle price?

I have downloaded the Walmart, Sam's, and Super Center for Walmart POI file and have tried to load it into DeLorme' Street Atlas 2006. It loads from the Excel spreadsheet but places the POI's down at the South Pole.

Any help will be much appreciated from this newbie.
Thanks

Hello to everyone. Just got my first GPS last week, a Garmin 750 and have been getting use to using it. Happened to stumble on this site and what a find. I have a lot of questions but will do some searching first, I am sure others have had the same questions.

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 .
