Geolocating 101

I’ve seen several discussions regarding coordinate acquisition and the inaccuracies of some of the coordinates. I personally have been directly responsible for geolocating millions of addresses in my career. Hopefully this discussion will be helpful to some…..sorry for the length.

Saw this on the news tonight and thought I would share it:

Miss POI

I would like to put up sparky's name for the COW Award. I think that he has been very faithfull to the POI Factory. He is always ready to make us smile. I think that he would look good beside our Windmill.

Great site! I have searched, but have not found an answer to this question.

I know that downloaded and transferred POIs will be saved as "custom" POIs and will not effect "built-in" POIs. I need to know if they will overwright and replace the POIs that were loaded with my Mapsource Recreational lakes map software? Thanks for the help.

Using the Custom POI feature on my GPS, I created a “favorite” about ten miles ahead of where I anticipated traffic might become an issue entering each city. I also created a category called “traffic check” for each of these locations to be stored in. The point I picked was just before where my alternate route split off from my intended route.

It's there POI for Bally's and Signature Gyms in New Jersey. Please let me know. Thanks.

Good item on this coming battle between devices.

I own both devices and for now I will stick with my GPSr for navigation.

Brand new here and looking to enhance our new Garmin Nuvi 760 with some POI's other than the standard fare. Upgraded from Nuvi 360 by necessity, not by choice. Had car vandalized while on vacation last week and the "old" one was stolen.

Very much interested in the red light camera POI since I travel for business.

I was in Sam's Club and saw the Garmin 750 for $299.99 and the TomTom 720 for $294.99. Based on all features, easy of use and any other factors, which one is the best GPS to buy? Let's hear the pro's and con's

Hi all Nüvi owners,

I discovered, much to my dismay, that Garmin is discontinuing the following Nüvi models, as well as other units.

The discontinued Nüvi models are:
The Nüvi 350, 360, 370, 600, 610, 650, 660 and the 670.

Here's the link for all of the Garmin discontinued models:

So on a trip through New Brunswick last week I found the new Trans Canada sections weren't represented very well for most of the trip from Quebec to Fredricton. I think my maps are only a year old and I thought most of those highway changes were at least a couple years old. Any New Brunswick locals have this problem? If so, do the 2008 maps address the problem?
Thanks,
Rob

For all those who really care...

In the node about stars coming out, you mentioned old faithful members helping with model spec pages or something like that.

Where would that be?

OK, I tried...I looked in the FAQs, did a search, no luck...so here's my post.

I have downloaded, uploaded, set alerts, renamed POI files all successfully........

Stupid question 101.....what the hell does 'r' stand for when y'all talk about 'GPSr'???

I found a company online that carried many types of TT as well as other brands of GPS mounts and accessories that (I think) are reasonablly priced. Check out SEMSONS.COM in California. I ordered TT mount parts that I will use to make my own 'custom' mount for my vehicle for less than $4.00 and was only charged First Class postage to ship! Just wanted to share.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether there is a way to view the last post/discussion I have written in. I know you can go to your recent posts, but this only shows what you have posted a comment on and when it was last updated. However, the posts are listed in the order by which they are updated; whether that be by me or someone else.
