Welcome / open talk

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.

Link to the major GPS related announcements from CES 2009 show that started today:

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

Who do I notify about a Home Depot location that is not correct??

This week we are recognizing Bentbiker, Tupdegrove and Eagleone.

Bentbiker, You were one busy poster this week, I really appreciate all the assistance you provided new members. It is great to have you around, thanks.

Tupdegrove, I love having your input in the site, you are always contributing to the Mom & Pop files and this week you submitted the Holiday Station file;)

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

I would like to get some recommendations on the best way to create a playlist on my PC for use on my nuvi 765T.

I sometimes like to listen to multi-part radio programs and audiobooks (in mp3 format not .aa) on long trips, and find that it is pretty difficult to do so without a playlist, due to the way the nuvi imports the mp3 files.

i was driving with my friend and we passed by a road where he said used to be homes that had to be demolished because of the road theyre building. what is your opinion on the techway??

Check with your state to see if they have a similar deduction program.

Can someone make a FILE for States that band the use of

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