Welcome / open talk

There are a couple of minor problems in the Raleigh NC speed traps POI file, but they can be a real pain in you are in manual mode, setting proximity settings for dozens of files, and then hit this error in the process.

there once was a man with a nuvi,
who try as he might, was a newbie,
so he searched low and high,
found miss poi,
and now all his trips are just groovy.

Hello everyone, I just moved to Brandon Florida just outside ot Tampa. I am trying to figure out how to update my Florida POI's. Is there a specific way to search just in the state of Florida? Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks -Rob

after having so much fun, and learning so much, but reading almost EVERY post here, today I stumbled upon the Forum Preferences (Favorite / Hide) option when I clicked on unread posts.

nice touch.

yet another example of the great organization, and feature set of this site.

just thought I would pass it along to my fellow newbies.

I had a TomTom 920 and loved it but thought I would "upgrade" to a Garmin 765t. What a mistake! The TomTom has the Garmin beat all the way around.

Hi Folks,

Just my way of giving back to the community so without further adew, I now present you with:

Hoooooooo Hoooooooooo Hoooooooooo!!

I've talked to a few GPS owners about downloading POIs from this site and usually get the same reaction. They don't realize this is possible, don't know how to do it, think it is too complicated, etc. I'm wondering if we can make it easier for owners of any brand GPS to use POIs from this site.

Most of the poi factory posts are naturally directed to motoring and new technology. I am sure that I am not favorably impressed with some of these. Toyota, for example, is developing a brake system that will stop your car at stop signs if you don't.
This is not for me; I want to choose when and where I stop.

We have added a new search feature. If you go to the POI Files tab located here http://www.poi-factory.com/poifiles you can now use our new "Search for POI Files" link to find things more quickly. http://www.poi-factory.com/search/pfc

Try it out and let us know how you like it. POI Packages will always be at the top of the list.

AS I was driving home tonight enjoying some of the Christmas lights, I began to wonder if anybody has seen any down loadable routes for Christmas lights anywhere?

I have been playing around with the "send" feature in google maps to send addresses to my garmin nuvi.
This seems to work well but I like Google Earth much better than Google maps (I know google maps has all the info I just like the look and feel of google earth better).
So...... I was wondering if anyone knows if/how you can export an address from google earth to a garmin device.

This week we are recognizing Jim8650, DorkusNimrod, and WorldDrknss.

Jim8650, You have jumped into the waters and have become a new favorite in the forums. I appreciate your insight and assistance. You ask great questions and are very appreciative of the feedback that you inspire. It is nice to have you as one of my top posters this last week.

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.

This morning someone else got the worm and started the weekly discussion. I have merged the two together;)

i'm going to hawaii next week and spending a week there. Will be leaving form LAX to HNL. I've rented a car x7 days (arggh...I was stupid cuz no refunds...) via priceline. Just thought about going to maui or big island too. Saw a poi file w/ someone's hawaii trip. Will be carrying around nuvi. Are list minute flights from hnl to maui in the $180's range?

I am new to the gps scene and wanted to know if this site has much support for the Chattanooga area. This is a vary cool community I really glad that I found it!
