Negativity and Sarcasm in recent posts

I have noticed that over the last couple of weeks the tone of this site has changed and I am here to make sure that it gets back to a tone that I like.

I am getting quite annoyed with some of the negativity and sarcasm that has been going on over the last few weeks. If you can't be nice, find another forum to participate in.

Average Speed - interesting data

What it is your "Average Speed" reported by the GPS Trip Calculator ?

After 1 month (30 days) of using the GPS - Magellan Maestro 3225 - every day within GTA - Toronto, Canada, I found that my average speed is 30Km/h for an average of 110 Km / day. I reset the Trip Calculator every night at the end of the day and morning before start.

Please post:

PORTABLE GPS THEFTS ARE UP

Here's an informative article on the subject: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24392168/

Forewarned is forearmed!

Foxfire and U3 drive

I've used a U3 drive to keep my passwords for quite awhile now. I have founf that while traveling I can use anyones computer and have all my password accounts available from the U3 drive thus making it not necessary to type my passwords on anyone's computer, thus not having to worry about security.

Anyone willing to help me make a POI for all Hollywood Studios?

A POI of all the studios would make it possible for entertainment industry professionals to navigate quickly and could be interesting for tourists too. I will supply the addresses.
Anyone interested in helping me make one?

The new wave for GPSr's will be the ability to track the unit. Will come in handy for those stolen units.

My Garmin won't talk to me

Shortly after I got my Nuvi 350, it stopped talking. I have tried changing settings, going back to default settings, etc. Nothing seems to bring her back! I bought it from Walmart.com online. Do I have any recourse with Garmin or Walmart?

the garmin 780 msn

after you pay the $129.00 for a life time member, is the traffic & etc free.

POI for PPC GPS

Hello,
I would just like to know if these poi's will work for the PPC versions of the GPS software.

thanks!

Total Red-Light Cameras

Just a little curious as to why the total never seems to change even though the red light locations are updated each week? It's been 298 for a long time.
For example:

"Washington, DC / Baltimore, MD Area (298)" Thanks smile

Which is better DVD or Data Card?

I am going to purchase the Europe maps and not sure which is a better choice. On the one hand, The DVD can be used to install as few or many countries as you wish. , on the other hand, with the Data Card it can only be used as is and not transferred to your GPS. The DVD also required an unlock code.

The Chit Chat Thread for the week of April 28th 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.
