Welcome / open talk

FYI: I used the "battery" icon to get into Diagnostics on my Garmin Nuvi 260. When I exited and tried to use my Nuvi, the voice I had been using, "Jill," was totally garbled. I was able to resolve the problem by simply going to the list of voices, selecting another voice and trying it. That worked so I went back and re-selected "Jill" and she worked okay.

I wanted to thank all of you for the posts you have made. I have a zumo550 and wanted the Harley Stores in it but found out since Harley has a garmin tradmarked for them they wont put the stores in the common models. But thanks to you guy I have an updated list in zumo550. I also hated the favorites section because it list them all, but now i made poi's for work family harley stores ect.

Does anybody have feedback on GPS phones such as, verizon's, or blackberry storm, or iphone. I have a Garmin 760, and dont plan on ditching it for anything. However, My fiance is in need of a GPS, but is getting a Verizon Blackberry Storm with GPS built in. She would only use it occasionally. I was just wondering if it was a viable option, or should i still get her a gps, like nuvi 265 or such.

I used Home On The Range for my 1st WAV file on a Garmin 260 & now it plays instead of the "wanted" WAV files. It plays @ the correct distance setting but not the WAV file I want. The HOTR WAV file is not on the memeory card. How can I get rid of it? Thanks

Could someone make a sound for the Time Zone file? A ticking clock sound would be nice.

Can anybody tell me how handy the Plug and go cards are?are they worth it ?????????? or a dissappointment!

Hi,
I wanted to know if anyone knows which GPS is the best available in the market right now in terms of its functions and ease of use. Are there any GPS that allows you to set the toll settings such that you can use the least amount of tolls possible? Please give me some advice with regards to this topic. Thank you

This week we are recognizing Thrak.

This recognition is not only for the great contributions that you are always making but it is about that very special one that you made back in July.

You posted this thread: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/16082 letting us know about an oportunity to get a free Garmin Nuvi 200.

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.

Miss POI

I did a couple of searches and seems like google is now using teleatlas (tomtom) rather than navteq (garmin)

This is really odd. Just went to download a couple POI files, checked this on one of my own files I uploaded, and same result. THe files are now downloading as XML, not GPX, or rather with the xml extentsion, since GPX is a specific type of XML.

Im thinking this may be my browser, recedntly started using Opera more often, first time i've been here with Opera in a while (9.62)

I am thinking of getting a used HP iPAQ hw6920 Mobile Messenger http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press_kits/2006/mobility/d...

Hello All,

I stumbled onto your site today while surfing for POI’s and like it so much that I joined. Let me begin by saying that I am very impressed with your site and the assistance you provide to fellow GPS users.

Heres a novel approach, Yikes. Sorry people vote in a Tax or pass a levee and hire some cops (its time to spread the wealth anyway). This is a very dangerous idea for the civi's of New Castle.

2 thumbs down on this cockamamie idea, If I had three thumbs they would all be down.

You are right. Everybody is happier talking GPS.

Does anyone know where I can get a cradle and charger cheap for my nuvi 680

Hi Eveybody,

Question - Non Used Icons on a Nuv1 760 - Can you delete them?

Ie the MSN icon, the Pictures folder and the MP3 Folder, can these be deleted, as i will never use them.

Thanks,

Hi Everyone!

Thought I would post a quick introduction. My name is Randy and I live in Arizona. I just purchased my first Garmin Nuvi (760) and stumbled across this site while doing some research on it. I was anxious to sign up and I'm looking forward to learning and contributing where I can. There's so many topics I want to better understand and I'm guessing this is a great place to start.

How helpful and accurate is the information provided by msn enabled devices is it worth checking into or you know CRAP just wondering.

There has been a lot of bandwidth expended talking about if cell phones will replace standalone personal navigation devices. Here is a link to an article that helps explain some of what is driving cell carriers to provide GPS on their cell phones.
