Speed cameras and keeping maps updated
Does the speed camera function on a GPS work by latitude and longitude or by position on a highway?

Geographic POI
The old Roads and Recreation maps had some very interesting geographic POI such as distant hills, valleys or mountains. On long trips I found these interesting and I have been looking for something similar in POI to load onto my Nuvi. I have found waterfalls and national monuments and forests but nothing showing hills, bluffs etc. Can anyone point me to a POI listing for these features?

Where the H#$% is Matt?
This link is a little off topic, but it does involve some travel. I can't help but smile when I watch this video. Again and again... It would be cool to see the the track on his GPS, if he's got one.
check out his web site too. What a cool gig.

Low Clearance POI
Used Rt 414S towards Watkins Glenn last week my alert went off with the low clearance ahead. There is no bridge at that location. I tried to find the co ordinates in the file but did not. It went off right at the Watkins Glen KOA
-76.907987 42.316453

Why is There NO Dedicated button for Work?
I don't know about other manufacturers, but Garmin only has a Home and a Favorite button. I certainly don't consider work my Favorite destination.

Do you have a name for your GPS?
My Wife and I call our Nuvi "Hildie".What do you call yours? (no curses please!) I know this question has been asked before but we have quite a few new users now.

ArcGIS Explorer for POI Accuracy
If you are interested in POI accuracy and have a good technical or Geography background you might want to fool around with this free program. It allows you to download data directly from many cities and counties which is based on Cadastral surveys and would tend to be more accurate. It also allows importing of USGS and Census data ie TIGER Data. Create layers of coverage etc.

Why do you have a GPSr? What's your excuse?
I've read many posts that suggest that GPSr should have a Radar Detector. That has had me thinking. Always a dangerous activity.
Why do folks have a GPS?
Is the primary purpose to violate traffic laws without getting caught? If so can a police officer seize my GPSr as a criminal tool?

Where is the most complicated series of roads/exits/interchanges?
Stolen from the other thread,
"spaghetti junctions."
"rat's nest" of exits/ramps.
Linguini Junction.
I was reading another thread, and was wondering where the most insane set of roads are located.

Chit Chat Thread for the week of July 21st 2008
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.

When is Garmin going to include Advance Lane Guidance to its software.
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....

Garmin Vehicle: Silver Roundabout
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!
Snap shot where does it go!!
