How can one POI be loaded before another?

I have Rest Areas for the Nation which are good and seem to have the ones in the State of Oregon which i will drive through next week.

I also have Oregon ONLY Rest Areas. It is more detailed.

Is it possible to...

...Overwrite one POI instance with a POI of the same coordinates in a subsequently loaded cvs file? (In this case, which one wins? Or do both show up and can alert?)

...OverLoad by placing too many POIs on one GPS module, slowing it down, crashing it, confusing it, or causing other complications or failure?

I have a Garmin c530 (this means it can do Proximity Alerts, and non-square Icons, but has no bluetooth or mp3 player.

Are there any features of GPX formats that would benefit my c530 or should i always stick to the nicely smaller and simpler CSV files? Thanks.

I opened and look at both Costco POIs, the one just for GAS stations, and then the one with both (which has 100 more stores). They both had a date of last updated July 2008, i think. However, the 2 local Costcos here near me that Ive gone to, (and which have gas stations), were not listed. They are 3-5 years old each, so im surprised they didn't make it into the list.

Is geocacheing able to be done with a nuvi200? Or should you have a small handheld unit?

What is a good distance for Proximity Alerts?

I've had my Garmin c530 for a few months, and have today found this site, and already loaded up and tested some POIs. I've used 1320 feet (which i believe is a quarter mile) because someone suggested it on here for school zones.

I was just in Cortland New York and noticed this Hampton Inn was missing from the POI file. What do I do to notify the POI owner?

does anyone have an idea how i can get the rest areas on the garden state parkway in new jersey

Welcome to Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Yaw- Hooo Its Stampede time in the old cow town for the next ten days. Come one come all to the world fames CALGARY STAMPEDE. I know the cost of gas is high and times are tough, But you only come by this way once. For those of you who have never been to Calgary for the Stampede, you don’t know what you’re missing.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy July 4th weekend.

There hasn't been one day that I was mad that I purchased a Garmin. There always working hard on keeping there customers happy. They have fourth of July vehicles/icons... Love it.

Heres the link: http://www8.garmin.com/vehicles/

Just came from the Garmin site, they now have 4 new cars to use.. Wingspan, Moonshot, Chipotle Burrito, and felt Bicyele!!

I think the Wingspan looks nice. Maybe use moonshot for the 4th of july time.

Excuse a newbie question. I have the Garmin c550 unit. Are there any POI's to help me search for directions to a person's residence by just typing in there name? Thanks in advance!

Has anybody ever seen any GPS units that display what county information? There are times when it would be handy for me to have that information.

I was curious how many people are apart of the POIfactory family. I'm sure Miss POI knows.

Hey guys. Finally broke down and bought a gps. got the 760. This site looks pretty cool. I'm going to try to put together a POI file of motorcycle race tracks for everyone. Yeah it's my hobby.

OK, I'm a newbie and need some help.

I can see how the "My Discussions" will work to keep me up on any forums that I reply in . . . is there a tool/list of POI's that I am interested in that when there's an update I can review and get the latest data?

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...
