Hi all
Thanks for the help in advance.
I'm a feild service technician and am wondering if anyone can direct me to find a download for UPS stores in Ontario?
Cheers

Can someone make a FILE for States that band the use of
Radars, and those that mandate helmets at
the state line? HELP ME PLEASE

There are some POI's where I live, well POI's to me at least. Can I post them, are they worthwhile? Thanks!

This is a snip from a net story. Maybe the Brits aren't as focused as we.

New Study Reveals GPS Navigation Systems Often Give Poor Directions

I have a Garmin colorado 400T. My question is: Can you add maps to it..say like the 2009 north america nt series and still keep the units original topo maps? I have an unused north america 2009 cd.

I have compiled a list of Blue Beacon Truck & RV Wash locations.

Blue Beacon has also been kind enough to list nearby dump stations for rv's and trucks with holding tanks.

This file is now available at the link listed below.

When I download a GPX file it ask me what program do I want to open the file with. By default MS word is the program. However POI loader does not load the GPX in this format. What do I do?

I've been using Garmin's topos, for the U.S. and Canada for a few years. They're 1:100K, and relatively inexpensive,and easy to use.

Well here is my issue. First off, I have a Mac and I have downloaded the POI's from this site and downloaded the newest version of Garmin POI Loader (2.0.1) and downloaded Garmin RoadTrip.

On the news yesterday, I learned that the town of West Paterson, NJ officially changed its name to Woodland Park - effective as of Jan. 1, 2009

You don't think that will create problems for the GPS community do you?? How long until Navteq fixes this one?

I don't know how to add a POI as I am not very computer literate. That being said, we had breakfast at a restaurant on our way south for the worst part of the winter and stopped at Triple R Homecooking in Winslow Arizona, 1308 E. 3rd St in Winslow Az 86047. Their is a empity field to the east of the restaurent in which to park your RV while you eat.

Hi. I'm looking to build a POI file. The local government agency that I'm getting addresses from has links to MapQuest for all of it's offices . However, I can't see any easy way on MapQuest to get GPS coordinates.

So I couldn't find a link for the download of MapSource. I just found the update on Garmin's website. For future reference I am using a Mac. So I downloaded bobcat.
My problem with bobcat is that the maps arn't detailed enough.

I downloaded this POI file and it seems that some local National Recreatioanl Areas that are part or the NPS are not on there.

Is this because they are not officially parks?

Thanks!

Yeahhh! (We all do it anyways...)

At least they have a new California law that allows GPS's to be placed either the right or left corner window/side of a car.

New guy here, just to say hello and Happy 2009. Glad to have found the site , new to GPS, hoping to learn and eventually contribute. Safe travels...

January 1 is a day many people resolve to achieve goals. I suggest we POI Factory folks resolve to make a backup of their GPS. It is very handy if there is a problem with an update, you need a copy of you POI files, or you decide to buy another GPS and would like to transfer favorites or POI files.

Several times now I've seen my GPS report multiple instances of a POI at almost the same location. This seems to be an error, but in some cases I'm having trouble figuring out how to report it. In my current case I'm looking at 2 Wendy's restaurant locations on the same intersection.
