Thought some of you might want to take part in this.
If you have a phone that has GPS capability, UC Berkley is offering free software to download to your phone.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site as well as new to using GPS devices. My first device is a Garmin c510 which I bought "refurbished". It has worked great for me so far. I have even been able to install [from this site] a customised POI file. Aren't I clever! The POI was a listing of state parks. It installed just fine with no problems at all, using the POI Loader from Garmin.

I have run a few red lights in Washington, DC recently, that my TomTOM showed had cameras. Anyone gotten tickets sent to them in the mail before?

the voice acctivation keeps going off on my tom tom which is very frustrating

For all you GPSers that use more than one system, the Service Pack 1 just released for Topo 7 by Delorme adds support for POI-Factory specifically by supporting the import of Garmin formatted .csv files as Draw Layers.

Is there a POI file for wi-fi hotspots?

I had asked if there were any threads concerning how to request features on this website. I hadn’t found any threads for this purpose but Motorcycle Mama said this is the place, so I’ll start the thread here.

I really like this site because there is so much information available and so many knowledgeable people here. Another thing that amazes me is there aren’t any ads?!

Intersting event this morning-I was using my daughter's computer and typed into Google "poi factory" (no quotes in the original search). Google popped up with a warning telling me my query looked like an automated entry and asked me to type in a code to continue. I repeated the entry, same result. I assume it is the letters "poi".

Is there a thread where we can post new site features or see what features have already been requested? My searches have not turned up such a thread or page for this.

There are several things I think would make this great site more user friendly but I don't want to fill Miss Poi's inbox with requests that they have already gotten or are working on already.

Is there any advice when using pigtones or is it scam or is it legit.????

When it comes to the best radar detector out there, by far it is the Escort 9500ix radar detector. Not only does it detect all forms of radar and laser the cops use to lock on to your speed, but now it is the first to come with preloaded Poi's of red light and speed camera locations. I personally use this radar detector and have not received a ticket in months.

This week we are recognizing Sewisdom.

Sewisdom, You have become the group teddy bear. Always there to lend a helping hand, and pat someone on the back for a job well done. You have contributed 13 new sounds to the site in the last few weeks and I just wanted to say thanks for all that you do.

This is the place to talk about things that are not gps related, you can discuss whatever you would like, as long as it is clean. Remember we have families that have their children involved in the GPS fun and we don't want to make parents feel uncomfortable when their children ask what that word means.

Have fun...

This thread will be closed on Monday and a new one will be opened.

This facepaint for kids, sold by Walmart, contains lead. It says it right on the package. What ?! Maybe it's the tubes that contain the lead, not the paint? Doesn't sound right. Well, at least it doesn't smear. Large version, inside.

I guess watch out for sales and if your local store will be around for returns.

So, I may be transfering down to San Antonio for work and was wondering how accurate the GPS will be. I know with all the construction on the 410 and side access roads along 410 and 35, just wondering if the GPS jumps around alot? I was there in 2005 for work, but can't recall.

An article about Red Light Cameras.

Hello all,

I was surprised to see that there is no Mio talk forum on this board. Are we supposed to put Mio talks under other GPS brands? I would think Mio has enough users to warrant it's own talk forum. Are there other Mio users around here?

Thanks.

TACOMA, Wash. -- Several cities say they will have to turn off their red light cameras if Initiative 985 passes.

The measure on Tuesday's ballot in Washington requires that revenue from the tickets go to a fund to reduce traffic congestion.
