Welcome / open talk

The Orange County Register had this video on-line today-- The driver in the white car, following the truck, got a ticket for running a red light. He claims he did not run the light and plans to fight it in court.

Pretty close to really call.

OK, so in several months my wife and I will be in Ecuador. We'll be heading to Mitad del Mundo, or Center of the World. Now here's the question. What cool things can we do at latitude 0.0 that we can't do anywhere else on earth? I've heard of balancing an egg on a nail at the equator, but does anyone else have any other suggestions that we can do and take pictures of.

Here's an article on the recent collision between two satellites. DON'T freak out, they weren't GPS!, but something to think about. There is getting to be quite a bit of junk up there.

I own a nuvi750 a guy I work with has a TomTom720
we are always fighting over which is best and it
always ends with him saying the TomTom does the
recalculations faster then Garmin.I have never
had a problem with recalculating missed turns
it does it within seconds So what do you all think
I need some ammo. I love to agervate this guy so
please help

is there a mapupdate for life time maps? i can't download it again yet my nuvi broke and garmin had to replace it so now they are sending me a new code so they can trans my lifetime maps from my broken nuvi 5000 to my new nuvi 5000 its going to take a week to get it so i am stuck with 2009 maps and not the update

new nuvi 5000 and nuvi 200w
( lifetime maps )

I found this article rather interesting ...

I was searching the forums. No body here has ever posted any thing about Event_Logger. I have installed in my TomTom One. I have taken the code and modified it a bit. Also removed all its custom menus. It works great. It is fun to come back from long drive and upload the logged way points into maps and re-live the journey online.

It turned out that I posted to this forum for the week of Feb 2nd and thought it qualified as activity for that week...since the new week Feb 9th had not been activated yet.

I love this site but I was thinking, how do I know if I am not just doubling up on POI that are already in my Nuvi 760, like McDonalds etc?

Hi I am sorry that I have not been on the sight in a while but just wondering if any body can help me with a list of gps that I might be able to use to down load the red light cameras and how I would be able to go about it. Thank You.

This week we are recognizing Kcgpsfan.

Kcgpsfan, I have been blown away by all the great exciting sounds you have been creating for the site. Everyone needs to go check out these sounds, they are fantastic. Thank you so much for putting in the time, effort and creativity.

Here are links to the sounds.

Miss POI

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.

The wife and I RV for 4 to 6 months a year. Our rig is 145 inches tall, and 8ft 6in wide and carries about 10 gallons of propane. Having road notifications of limitations would extremely helpful. Is there anything out there short of buying another GPS? We have 4 Garmins now with the latest being a 760.
Thanks
Bill

I have a stupid question and i did search around for it but do we have a Chipolte Combined POI file

hey guys I havent been on in a while and in a way i do regret that. I am heading down to texas in our little winnebago for a fewdays next weekend and week. This will be my nuvi's first true test in the rv. our destination is Wichita Falls. my routes send me I76 to I70 to I44. I would like to advoid I44due in part to the whole I64 reconstruction project. I would truly like to just bypass st.

I'm looking for a preferred unit set up defined. Is there some standard? There are many different formats and I'd like to find out what they are intended for in a typical usage. The reason being is that besides from being a typical drive to here/there, I'm also a hiker... and in an emergency what is preferred?
So in the US, typical use that I see are:
lat/long
decimal degrees

i was traveling from the bay area to sonora and noticed at least one red light camera. unfortunately i was unaware of the process for noting the area and then introducing it to the poi factory.

will someone give me directions on doing this.
