Hi All,

I'm experiencing a problem on my Nuvi 880, with dual song entries, in some of the song lists, on my 8gb micro SDHC card.

When I browse by artist and look through the songs (for that artist) I'm seeing double entries for some of the songs, in the list.

I can't seem to figure out how to correct the "double song entries" in the list.

The C-Net awards have been handed out at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The Tom Tom 740 is their #1 choice in the GPS category. Garmin's new 885T gets prominent mention too. Info on those and some new MIO offerings here: http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2009/01/the-best-gps-te.h...

Ok, my wife tells me that I don't visit my mother-in-law often enough.

I told my wife I entered her mother's address into my GPS once and for some reason, the GPS couldn't find it.

So I'm thinking that it might make a good project for someone on POI FACTORY to start a new POI project, listing all our mother-in-law's addresses.

Just something to ponder.....I remember a few years ago a friend of mine designed GPS' We were telling him that GPS' should have this and that (BLUETOOTH to SD Card to MP3 Players). Sure enough it's standard now.

So what would you add to new GPS'?

I Downloaded the file from Poi Factory in December I Would like to know What the Numbers in 3'rd column are:

Redlight & Speed Camera .02633

The .02633 What is the use of this number

Thanks

Ron

I am looking for POI's for the Kum & Go gas stations in Nebraska. Please advise.

Rather than saying where we've been on our last GPS-guided trip, I think it would be more instructive and fun to post inquiries to where future trips are to take us, and get locals from those regions to offer some input as to things to do and places to see.

Hello guys:

I don't know about you...but I find this site to be highly addictive, at this point I really don't know if I play more with this site or with my Nuvi, I was thinking that @ least I check for new comments about 3 times a day although I don't participate on all the discussion topics, most of the times at least I take a pick to see what’s going on.

Greetings everyone,

Just taking a moment to introduce myself. I've had a handheld GPS for a number of years and more recently a chartplotter for my fishing boat, but all of this "on the road" jargon has me on a bit of a learning curve.

This year’s Contributor of the Year awards go to:
ScottK and Motorcycle Mama.

ScottK, I don't know where you found the time to make the 61 files that you did over the last year.
Your files are beautifully created, with all the info that should be included. It is easy to edit your files, I can always find the city and address info.

PROBLEM: Performing a Screen Shot on my Nuvi 750 requires that I first go to “TOOLS”, then “DISPLAY” and press Screen Shot (which is disabled). I then have to “ENABLE” the screen shot which will remain active (I guess) for as long as the unit is on (once turned off, the Screen Shot defaults to “DISABLED”).

OK, just wondering here. Is it just me, or do all credit cards have the payment addresses on the other side of the country from where you live? Possibly in hopes of collecting more late fees? I think it will be safe to give minimal credit card info, such as type(Amex, Visa, MC), state in which you live, and state where you have to mail your payments? Here's mine:

I live in California.

Hi everyone I was looking for A Gps forum and this 1 looks gr88
