Welcome / open talk

This week we are recognizing Jrozsnaki and DRMCMTR.

Jrozsnaki, Your new POI File project is Hot!!! You have done a fabulous job making a fun and interesting hunt for spice for the rest of us. I am looking forward to seeing what other exciting projects you have in store for us after this one is complete.

I love my Garmin but before the Garmin, i had the TomTom 930 and loved the Advance Lane Guidance feature.

I presently own a Garmin 850. I did not need the bluetooth feature and I decide to get this one. The only downside is that it is expensive....

Hi All,

We have now surpassed 100,000 members, at the poi-factory.

Let's all give a standing ovation and a round of applause to Miss POI and Jon, for all of their untiring efforts in making this site, the best that it can be.

Congratulations in reaching this milestone...

Best regards,

tailspin

So, I sold my 350 to get the 650. Unfortunately, I never copied my vehicles from the 350 to my computer and thought I could get the "silver/grey roundabout" or "silver/grey euro" from Garmin's garage, but they now only have the blue available. Does anyone know where I can get the silver/grey one? Thanks!

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me if Garmin addressed the "skipping .mp3" issue with their latest (v4.50) update?

I'm using .wav files for my sounds and would like to know if those using .mp3 files are still experiencing the .mp3 skipping, when alerts trigger, on their units.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,

Tailspin

Who uses TTS (text to speech). I've had my 350 for 1 1/2 years and didn't even know it existed. Then my friend got a 260W and I heard his and I was loving it so I finally checked my 350 and it was there! Now I use it on my 650.

For all you techies out there; what are the limitations of the exterior antenna? Does anybody know what distance of cable is the max before the signal deteriorates? I am curious to see if I could make and modify a antenna cable to 100 feet. I'm curious to learn how much signal loss would be involved and if some sort of a booster would be required?

what are your highest and lowest prices on normal unleaded and diesel where you live. In jersey there is a difference if cash o r credit so if there is one do wat i did if not just post high ,low regular and diesel fuel please post!!

i havent had the chance to make my poi files that i wanted bcz my summer is so busy so im posting to let u know i eill be on those files around september or october but now know now i just gotta worry bout keping my active status

Just finished a 8K trip around the USA.

Used a few poi files.

I know I've said this before, but the files are horribly inaccurate.

About 80% of the locations were far off. Only about 1% were dead on.

great article

I am goiung to Williamsbugh VA and would like some help with the POI that I am going to create. i plan to go in 1st week or so of Aug and want to do the following (as I did with the Lancaster files)

I want to make 2 files.. thay would be Places to see and do, Places to Shop, and places to Eat.

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 week we are recognizing PaulATL, RobertShelly and Dog_Poop (now BobDee) as our contributors of the week.

PaulATL, I can't tell you what a joy it is to have you on the site. You are a very helpful and talented member of the POI Factory family. Thanks for all that you do.

Here is a cool link that came across my desk today. It is really awesome that so many companies are discovering us and passing along the message that we are here;)
