Welcome / open talk

I have emailed brott, but he must not be working on the file.
Anyone out there want a few updates for the file?

Dear Ms. POI: Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your thoughtful words when I posted about my mother falling. She passed on February 1, 2009, regaining conciousness long enough to tell me & my sister she loved us.

Again, thanks for your kind words.

What do you think about programing navigation units to avoid Enforcement Camera locations?

I believe that could only be done by the manufacturer, and would be an option like avoiding toll roads or freeways.

Hello All,

Newbie here trying to figure out the custom POI's. It doesn't seem like its possible to load more than 1 .csv file unless I'm doing something wrong. Everytime I try to upload it overwrites the previous .csv file????

Anyone know of a Google Map applet where you enter the latitude and longitude, and Google maps displays the location?

Google maps, does have "Place Finder", but I noticed that it is NOT suitable for double checking your GPS readings. It "converts" you data entry to certain nearby predefined locations. Clearly not suitable for double checking your work.

A lawyer got one of the Red Light camera tickets..and took it to court. The law says that the Owner of the Vehicle will get the ticket. Well they " lease" all there cars. So they don;t own them. They also said anyone else could win even if they do own their car. Due to an unequal enforcement rule..So if you get a red light ticket in Cleveland it may be worth fighting it..

Thank you so much, M A for your help insetting things.
Great work.

Thank you,
Ken

What are my locations exactly? Just wanted to know because when I click on it, it wants me to download a my locations file and I do not know what it is going to be.

I decided to make a thread with all the comments regarding the interview on Computer America.

Miss POI

At 7:30 Pacific time tonight I will be on the Computer America radio talk show with Craig Crossman and Carey Holzman.

Here is a link to the site: http://www.computeramerica.com/

There were a couple of great deals today on a 3.5" and a widescreen GPS for around $60.

It's astounding how quickly GPS prices have dropped. I knew I was paying a lot when I got my C320 a few years ago for around $350 or so. But to get a GPS with similar capabilities for around $60 is mind-boggling.

Well after 3 years my cell went dead now I am looking at a new one. I want one that will pair up with my 660. Have been looking at the samsung touch phone. Has any one useds these phomes? I have a motorola E815 now and it worked great with my 660.

Just checking out the updates for red light cameras and noticed Illinois comes in first with adding cameras in six of the seven updates done this year followed by California with five. Lucky us if you live there.

HI everyone,

I downloaded the Rest Areas POI and installed it using the POI Loader but I can't get the locations to appear on my map when plotting out a route. This is the first POI I've installed so I might be doing something wrong without realizing it. Other than loading it with the POI Loader, is there something else I need to do to activate the POI?

Hi guys,
I just picked up a Garmin Nuvi 760 today and I am having fun learning how to use it. What is the coolest feature you find with your GPS?

The site was down a few minutes ago for software upgrades?

What kind of upgrades? Nice to see it back up.

Just noticed something on my Nuvi 265.Usually I put all my favorites in using google send to gps.Using that method they all show up under favorites.Today I went to points of interest,selected food,all food and used the spell to locate a restaurant we wanted to try.After typing in name and finding the location.Touched save and went to favorites and noticed I now have a category for food listed.Afte

I have a NUVI 760, my computer has Vista and I use Internet Explorer. Last week for the very first time I downloaded/installed the Garmin POI Loader s/w plus I downloaded/installed the Redlight & Speed camera POI's from POI Factory.
Here are my questions:

do an honest (1 vote per GPS owned) on-line survey of reliability among different brands of GPS'? I'm dismayed over the poor quality of one of mine, which has now had both of the battery terminal springs break while it was simply sitting on a shelf.

Hello everybody I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to change the ringtone for my garmin 680, when I have my phone hooked to the bluetooth and I get a call it rings with a hideous sound, the boring old ring,ring,ring, any ideas, thanks
Jim

I searched and checked the FAQ, couldn't find it.

Is there a way to see all the POI files I have contributed to the POI Factory?

In my account info I see "Maintainer for these POI files:" but there is nothing under it.

Any ideas?

Thanks,Chuck
