Deals/sales on GPS devices
I didn't see a particular thread keeping track of periodic sales or price drops, so maybe this could be helpful?
Costco.com will have the Nuvi 200W for $199 for orders placed January 7-27, 2008.

Chatty Charley thread for the week of December 31st 2007
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.

Does anyone have any experience with the TomTom GO920?
I currently use the Garmin Nuvi 860 but was thinking about buying the TomTom GO920 because it is on sale at Costco.com for $399.00 and includes maps of North America and Europe. Since the full CD of Europe from Garmin was about $300.00, I figured I would pay the extra $100.00 and get Europe maps and a backup GPSR with additional features, but I know very little about TomTom and the GO920.

Search window
At the top of most, if not all, pages on this fantastic website is a window labeled Seach. This is a good place for all newbies to start. If you have a question, please check this out before posting. Not only will you probably get your question answered, you'll probably find the answer to the next question you were going to ask. There's also the FAQ link. Gobs of good information here.
This morning I had two pages of unread threads, most of which have been answered over and over again. Not only would using these site features help with this problem, it just might reduce the site traffic enough that JM and Miss POI won't have to 'spend' for a new Server right now.
Thanks.

Site suggestions
I couldn't fine these suggested on the forums anywhere. Two thoughts that may already be on the site "to do" list:
1) A "subscribe to" for POI files, so that we could get an e-mail when a POI file is updated.
2) On threads with multiple pages, it would be handy to have the page numbers and links at the top of the page as well as the bottom.

New Garmin c550 Owner...
Hey,
Just got a Garmin c550 and my wife has a Nuvi 200W. Great little devices and hopefully we can come up with some interesting POI's to share in NC. I already found a listing of NC wineries and BBQ places, so not sure what will be left!
Thanks!

Creating a new poi listing
Can someone direct me to a past post/discussion on creating a custom step by step "poi" file. Would like to surprise the wife by installing it on her nuvi 200 and have it alert it to when she's by her favorite health food establishment. I have excel and the six locations close by to us.

Forum set-up
I'm not computer literate, but I've been "volunteered" to set up a discussion forum for our paddling club. I really like the way this forum is set up. Is this "software" available to anyone or is it custom?
BTW, does anyone know of a good source for kayak put-in locations in the NE?

How to set distance for announcing custom POI location?
A new owner, I am overdosing on custom POIs, but it occurs to me that some will be announcing themselves to me as I hurtle down a freeway at not-quite-legal speeds. How do I choose the distance at which various categories will announce themselves?
