New Server for POI Factory
POI Factory is getting a new, bigger server
Visitor traffic has grown a lot since November. And with continued growth, it won't be too long before our old setup runs out of steam.
This week, I'm busy preparing a new server that has roughly twice the capacity. If things go well, I expect to move POI Factory over to it by week's end.

New categories...
I have added three new categories for POI Files this morning.
Golf Courses
Sports - Hunting/fishing
Attractions - Scenic drives
I have been moving some files around to the new areas. Please let me know if there is a file that I missed or if I misplaced one.

Chatty Charley thread for the week of January 7th 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.

Converting TomTom GO 920 Europe maps to use with Garmin 680
I have the TomTom 920 as well as the Garmin Nuvi 680 and was just wondering if it was possible to convert the Europe map for the 920, to the Garmin 680.

Canadian and US Campsites
Hello all,
I have just purchased my first GPS primarily for touring Canada and the US in our RV. I bought a Garmin Nuvi 670 and found it easy to use so far.
I started looking around for POI's and found this site so I joined in hopes of learning to find new and interesting places to visit.

Tracking ones POI submissions
JM
When I go to "My Account" I have three tabs
VIEW EDIT TRACK
In the track I get to see all that I participate in.
Would it be possible to have a fourth Tab.
MY POIs
This could then track only the POIs that I submitted.
It would be easier to double check our files if we only saw them and not all the discussions as well.
Just an idea
Thanks

MOVING PHOTO
Does anyone know how to get a photo that moves as your picture like the waving flag that I have seen or the insect that keeps going in a figure eight pattern? I especially like the one that is a still photo and then they all wave at you...like they came to life

NASA Satellite tracking
I am sure some of you are familiar with NASA's on-line satellite tracking software. If you select "Navigation" satellites you can see where the GPS are in relation to the earth.
The PRN x number is the satellite ID that matches my data screen on my Mio unit.

Short Notice for Turns?
Using the Nuvi 750, to me it seems that the announce notice to turn etc is often quite short, even at low speeds(30 mph) One hardly has adequate time to get into the proper lane. Not always, but often Anyone else agree? I guess I was spoiled with VzNavigator with also uses Navteq mappings. It would talk you to death several times before the turns.

Just how smart is it?
I notice my Nuvi 760 gets confused when recalculating in major overpass intersections. Does it read it's current GPS elvation data and determine the current height, so it knows if it's on the elevated freeway, or at street level?
I notice it gets confused when making a u-turns an elevated freeways.

Who creates the POI Files
This is a great site. But I was wondering who creates these files that all the GPS compamies are using this is in reference to the ones that come preloaded in the GPS when they are purchased. Also how do we update the file if they are missing locations for example the dunkin dounuts file seems to be missing stores where I Live.
