Welcome / open talk

I’m going to try for a posting where I don’t get beaten down to a pulp.

I like this website
I like my GPS
I think the United States is a good place in which to live
I’‘m in favor of baseball, football, Mom and apple pie
I think world peace would be fine too

OK guys. take your best shot.

As a first-time POI Factory visitor, I just want to say thank you so much for this web site and the work people do to provide POI files. This stuff is way-cool and we are putting it to immediate use.

Does anybody happen to know if an XM antenna will work for a GPS? Are they the same antenna connector and are the frequencies close?

Got word this week that the Plus with its GPS interaction is being phased out. They will be supporting it for those who ask, over the next three months only. Meanwhile, the GPS features of Plus they say they will try to incorporate into the free Google Earth. I think that is a good move on their part.

Howdy,

Just got my Zumo 450 and looking forward to using it with this site I do a lot of motorcycle riding and I'm usually the leader. I love creating routes and taking people on roads they've never been on before.

I already contributed in the best burgers thread and plan on posting more stuff up.

HI, I got a nuvi 260 when they first came out but soon got rid of it and opted to use the gps on my phone. I had gotten tried of using the phone as it would not work in areas without service. So, when I saw a nuvi 200 on sale, I got one. Good to be back.

This version is no longer in development.

I'm a newbie to the forum. Looking forward to contributing to and benefiting from the forum.

I use a Tom Tom Go now and its fine for just getting from here to there, but I need to get out and see batches of customers very efficiently in the coming months to distribute samples. I work in LA which is lots of freeways etc and lots of driving so I'd like to be able to dump a list of 20 or more stops into a gps and have it optimize the most efficient route to hit them all in a single day.

I see the speed post, how about the highest and lowest points? (ground and air)I'm sure someone in Denver will have the highest and New Orleans the lowest
Then again someone could have climbed a volcano or something.
I wonder if a gps signal would reach down into the ocean? (a navy sub guy)

Is there any software available to convert .gpx file to
.cvs? Some POI's are only available in .gpx format and I want to know how I can use them in .cvs format. Thanks

Has anybody posted a POI for Washington State red light alert. The website shows there are 65 speed lights in Seattle/Tacoma but I just can't find it. Surely appreciate the help. Thanks

Texas judge rules against red light tickets. This could also be the case with many other automated ticketing systems in the US.

Ran webupdater for Garmin 265 yesterday and a new update came up.I had 4.50 and new one is 4.60.

Mostly improved preformance issues.

I had this posted under another topic in Garmin, but I think it merits being here as well so owners of all makes can try it out.

At GPS Tracklog http://www.gpstracklog.com/

I agree with the features worth paying extra for...don't necesssarily agree with the features you don't need.

If traffic saves me once from a horrible backup, it's worth it. My FM transmitter works well around here, and people can hear me well over the Bluetooth connection.

What do you guys and gals think?

OK I was here like 4 or 5 months ago when we got 75K members. How many we got now??

Hello, I am new to the site and it looks great so far. I was wondering how the data is sorted so we are not all running around recreating duplicate POIs in different lists.

For instance, I would like to add a new QT gas station that is not already loaded on my Garmin. Since Quick Trip gas stations are already listed in a vast number, how can I be sure that I am contributing something new?

I just got a Garmin Nuvi 260W and just getting familiar with it. I use it even though I know where I'm going. It's good to see the detail surrounding the route. I am planning on taking it to California next week. Any special tips or advice?

Glad to have found this site I hope to learn a lot from it.

Hello all,
