Welcome / open talk

When I try to save the poi and select save file, I browse to my blank folder set up to save the file in and it trys to save as a file of all types? any cures?

detection work if the GPS is operating in "View Map" only. I've not tried it, and it's too late to try now. I just wondered if it would work.

Just wondering what gps units will allow you to create a POI while driving, instead of having to stop, write down the coordinates, go home, create a csv file, and upload.

Seems I read TomTom did this, but I've heard such horrendous things about their maps that I don't think I'll go there.

I have a nuvi 360 that I just got, and want to nail all those traffic cameras with a minimum of fuss.

I did a topic search and didn't find much info on Blackberry with gps from people that actually use this device. Although I've just recently purchased my nuvi 660, I'm considering an AIO solution as I've realised I now have an additional device to hang off my belt or try to stuff in a pocket if I don't want to leave the 660 in my vehicle. Any user opinions on the Blackberry gps? Thanks

I have a Magellan Maestro 4000. It has a few quirks that I just need to get used to but there is one BIG problem I haven't been able to work around yet.

Looking for suggestions and indications whether or not other Mfg's units have a similar problem.

If you zoom out too far, the POI icons disappear.

Hi Bluetooth users,

My Nüvi 670 makes the bluetooth connection with my iPhone, but all of a sudden I get a "phone disconnected" message on the screen, followed shortly by the phone icon "reappearing" on the main screen. Then the whole process repeats itself, as if in a loop.

Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?

Thanks for your time.

Regards.

About the Red Light Camera alert sounds. I have the RedLight7.mp3 I would like to use. However, for some reason, I can't save the file. Surely my mind hasn't slipped a cog. Will somebody help this old man?

I took my Garmin Nuvi 650 on a cruise out of Port Canavarel to Bahamas Islands, St. Thomas then to St. Martin.
There was the car in the Ocean would liked to have had a boat to replace the car image, but it covered the whole trip.

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...

I just noticed Amazon and Buy.com are having a gps sale today if anyone is interested. IE nuvi 270 with transatlantic maps for $302.36 shipped at Amazon.

I have a friend who just bought a 2007 Mustang with the GT package. It has an in-dash navigation system integrated with the radio and a bunch of other stuff.

Does anybody know who makes the navigation system for Ford?

Thanks in advance.

"Relying on the device as infallible is what almost killed a Silicon Valley man last month at a railroad crossing here.

I was wondering if anyone created any new Icons? I wanted to know if anyone created any characters....like Superman or even Michael Myers...that would be cool....

Has anyone tried using this Garmin POI Maker? If you have was you successful with it, and would you recommend it?

I know there have been quite a few discussions about POI Harvester. As said so well by Driven1, it is a tool. I didn’t know about POI Harvester, before I set out to learn a new tool kit for some work related projects so I decided to create an application to gather POI information using the Yahoo! Local Search V2 services. The Get Me My POIs application as stated uses the Yahoo!
