Welcome / open talk

There is a launch for tomorrow around 9:30PM from the Kennedy Space Center. I live in Hollywood FL and would like to drive to a location to see the launch. I don't want to drive all the way up to view. I am looking for a location that would be about 2 hours from me and would have a view. A local park on the beach or a parking lot would work. I am told that you can see the flame from far away.

Wasn't sure where to put this question. I just bought a Nuvi 765T and would like to move the addresses from my Maestro 4050 to my Garmin unit. Will Extra POI Editor allow me to do this? (I do have the Magellan POI Editor on my PC.) If not, has anyone developed software which will allow me to do this?
Thanks a million-ronboman

Hey what a great site. Loads of info and easy to use. Thanks to all who have worked on, posted on and gave ideas here. I have breathed some new life into my Nuvi!

This week we are recognizing Poppywhite and Dockster as our contributors of the week.

Poppywhite, This week you worked on the La Quinta Inn's project located here: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/21192. Great job on this project it turned out really nice.

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

For some reason when I remove the old red light alerts and installed the new ones I lost the voice on my unit that alerts instead of the beep. It still shows it and I can play it on the computer in the garmin voice section. any help would be greatly appreciated.

We are about to get the red light and speed camera's in Quebec and I was wondering if they were set very accurate. By that I mean if a police officer was there with a manual radar gun he would usually not pull you over if you were only marginally over the speed limit, usually 5 - 10%. Do the speed cameras cut you any slack or is it 1km over the limit and your picture is taken?

I have a new Nuvi 265WT and I noticed that the amp light on the receiver that plugs into the cigarette lighter, always shows RED. It never turns green or yellow. I still get traffic and my 265 charges and works fine but I am concerned because I have never had a receiver the stayed red, they all have an amber or green light when functioning correctly.

I have a TomTom voice file vif and chk. Can I change it some how to work on my Garmin

I just bought a Nuvi 885T, and I can't pair my LG Voyager with it. I received a message on screen a couple of times when plugging it in to my CPU that says BLUETOOTH FIRMWARE UPDATING. Unfortunately every time I get this message the screen freezes at about one percent and my CPU USB port recognizing the Nuvi interrupts and seems to cancel the update.

I just moved into the new millennium and finally bought a GPS. I recently got a red light camera ticket and I just wanted some feedback about how useful the red light POI's are. By the way Im in NY.

I went to a restaurant tonight for a quick bite. As I leave, I notice the car parked next to me has the GPS on the dash. Worse still, the GPS is still plugged into the car charger and turned on.

It was a Magellan or a TomTom unit, mounted on a bean bag, and hooked up to the AC charger. The display was really bright in the dim parking lot.

I was surfing on the web over the weekend and I found some info saying that the NGS was going to issue some new maps and/or aerial photos (digital) that would work with the GEOPDFTool bar for pdf files.

Tried to find it again and couldn't find it. I even went through the browser history, page by page with no luck.
