Is their an easy way to see if Other people's pois are close to mine? I have created a couple of them, but am unsure of posting them. example: I have a file for campgrounds, and stateparks, but would hate to duplicate someone else's.

They have added 10 cameras in 7 locations. In the past 14 days the have ticketed 1100. That's over 75 a day @ $125 per. Guess they won't have to raise taxes after all.

We went On I80 to get to Missouri from Michigan. The first time wasn't bad, but on the way home with heaving rain we ran into a bad jam. About 15 inches of water was under a bypass. I was very nervous driving though it.

If my math is right, next week or the week after will mark the start of our third year. I have been watching Miss POI "member since history" and for the second week in a row she has been a member for 1 year and 50 weeks. In the short time Miss POI and JM started this site, it has grown and grown with CLASS. So, whenever HAPPY ANNIVERSAY.

I just bought a 260W for $208.00 (normallay $349) at Target. They have them on clearance for the new orders coming in for Christmas.

They are only available in the store that have them left in stock, not online.

Miss Poi we need to change the moose lodges from nite life to fraternal organizations if thats ok with you that way we could put the elks ,masons etc. in that group also Thanks

This week we are recognizing dkeane and Trenholm.

dkeane, You have been working on making files for sports radio networks. I will be packaging these sometime this week so that they are easy to find.

Trenholm, You have been working on collecting all the Ham Repeaters for Canada. It is nice to have that collection, thank you so much for filling that empty spot in our Ham radio project area.

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.

I just replaced my old cell phone with a Samsung Instinct from Sprint. Basically it's an iPhone knockoff, but with a few more features that I like. It comes with navigation capability. So here's my question. Does anyone know who Sprint's GPS provider is? The splash screen has TeleNav in very small letters on it. I know TeleAtlas, and I know Navteq. But I've never heard of TeleNav.

Any idea how much memory jpeg's eat up on this unit? Also, even though the download from my computer is in the correct order, the unit seems to ignore that in slide show mode. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Judy

Does any one have ideas of great ways to use our GPS to explore the state of Georgia or have some great places that they like and want to share.

Hope this is works out.... But I just purchased a NUVI 5000 5.2" GPS for $159 + shipping!!! If anyone is interested here is a link.

The settings for the Petro in Gadsden, AL are wrong. Trust me I got to know the State Hiway Patrolman that lives in the apartments at the end of the DEAD END road that it leads you to. Lets just say he's NOT very nice at all. But like he said "it's a good thing that this is not his juradiction and he was off duty" now the local officer of Gadsden that showed up he was real cool.

I bought a Garmin 660 and a Garmin Beanbag friction mount thru Amazon .com. The Beanbag came without a mount for the GPS. Any suggestions how to order one as I have not found a listing for one. Mfish

When I set up a proximity alert, lets say 3,000 ft for a Walmart. How close does the Walmart have to be to the road I am driving on before my Garmin alerts me at the 3,000 ft point? Do I have to be 3,000 from Walmart or does Walmart have to be a certain distance from my path to alert me at 3,000 ft? If it is a specific distance from the route I am taking how far is it? Thanks

NEVER FORGET!

My Garmin has thousands of internal POI's. I see that this site is in the process creating POI's on just about every business in the US. I am trying to understand how to use all these POI's. For example what is the benefit or advantage of having all the Walmart's, Bestbuy's, Kohl's, etc around the country. If I put this in my Garmin is it susposed to help me find these in another state?
