For the mods/admin
Is there ever going to be an option to add animated "smileys" in our posts? Directly viewable linked pictures in actual posts from Photobucket, Shutterfly, etc?

Where can I find United States gas station POIs for the tomtom go 720 that are free to download?
Or,
Is there any place on this website that has your standard average gas stations THROUGHOUT the US? The Shell gas station seem to be the one that comes with the tomtom go 720.
I would love some help and/or guidance.
Thanks.

Serial Killers prefer Garmin
Did anyone catch the last episode of Dexter on Showtime? it seems our favorite serial killer uses a Garmin nüvi. His psycho ex-girlfriend took his GPSr out of his car to find out where he's been. The producers created some fake screen shots and a voice announcing his last destination. The nüvi name was visible briefly as she held it in her hand.

New member.... Me!
Hello, my name is Paul Jaruszewski and I recently joined the POI Factory website. I have a long history with Garmin GPS units, but recently found this site because I bought a Garmin Nuvi 650 and wanted to see what the custom POI situation was all about.

Naming POIs
I have just downloaded my first Poi file. When I ask my Garmin Nuvi 350 for a specific place (ie Camping World in Syracuse) it cannot find it but I know my new file was downloaded properly because it is in the POIs in Garmin. Is there a specific way to name the locations with the addresses.
Also can I delete some of the locations from a file
Thanks

Proposed forum change
It's great that we have separate Magellan and Tomtom forums now, but I have noticed that when I posted a comment in the welcome/open talk forum about what I had read about Navigon it was moved to the "Other GPS brands" forum.
I think moving that request for comments to the "Other GPS brands" makes it less useful.

Chatty Kathy thread for the week of December 10th 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.

What unusual location have you gotten a GPS fix?
OK now I am really impressed with the SiRF Star III chipset. I have always been able to get the GPS signal to lock in quickly with this even in my office where there is a window near by; just like in a plane where there are windows.

Uploading Sound Files
Hello,
After listening to the sounds available here for the red light camera POI's, I decided to make my own. I thought I would upload it here for others to use if they wish. I can not find instructions to upload sounds. I assume it is possible, if somebody could point me to the correct link.
Garmin or TomTom
Which is better?
Garmin Nuvi 200 or TomTom One Third LE?
