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.

This week we are recognizing Kjunman and Oditius as our contributors of the week. We are also giving an Honorable mention to Ahsumtoy.

Kjunman, we really appreciate the work that you have been doing on the state parks files and the truck stop files. I will be working on the ones that have not been uploaded to the site yet.

Does anyone know how to get a screen shot off a nuvi 660?

I'm new at all of this. how do you find co-orinents for any locations. thanks 34fp27

Has anyone had their sound get worse after installing the newest software upgrade for the nuvi 350, or am I the only one. Mine now sounds like the speaker is blown, lots of distortion in the sound. I've always had it at one notch below full volume to hear it, but now its so distorted, and if I turn it down 2 more notches, the distortion goes away, but I can't hear what its saying.

Does Anyone here ever bought a garmin from e-bay with some things missing will Garmin still give the CD & Unlock Code for the used Gps even if it was registered to a different Person that you are buying it from

WISHING EVERYONE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY THIS YEAR. DRIVE AND ARRIVE SAFELY.

I was looking at some POI files using Microsoft Excel. The cells in column D had addresses entered. The address was displayed in the cell as:

4503 Riverview Pkwy.
Birmingham, AL 35242
205-980-1016

The cell was formated for word wrap but changing the width of the cell did not change the way the address was displayed.

What is this link for? It is on my "home" page here on the POI Factory. Thanx in advaance!

Here ya go folks, have at it.

I'm looking at and getting confused by many models (mainly Garmin). I'd like the following features:

--audible road names
--good receiver
--US and Canada pre-loaded (as I might make it up north next year)
--<$300 before taxes

Does anyone have experience with Tom Tom's voice input. I find Garmin's input method awkward. This is my biggest problem with Garmin -- no interface. Voice input would be a great solution.

Please reply if you have experience. Does it work?

Thx,
Jen

Why does the Nuvi alert you to an approaching freeway exchange and tells you to either keep left or right to stay on the freeway toward your destination?

Hey everyone, i am new
I finally got my Garmin Nuvi 750, after having it on backorder for over a month, and i gotta say i am very happy with my first GPS.

Garmin has dropped out of it's attemp to buy Tele Atlas.
Wonder what their next move will be.

Just wanted to say "Hi" and say this is a very cool site. I already created a POI for Washington Mutual ATM in the Sacramento area. I'll be uploading it shortly.

Looking forward to contribute more in the future.

ISLIP, N.Y. — GPS tracking devices installed on government-issue vehicles are helping communities around the country reduce waste and abuse, in part by catching employees shopping, working out at the gym or otherwise loafing while on the clock.

Kelly Pop Boom Bop Bang. Hi, even...

Let's say a person "waaaa" was to start traveling all over the US of A.

It might be to his advantage to have his money is a bank that would have the most branches all across the country just to have a somewhat easy access to it.

Anyone know which bank that might be?

I am thinking of two - Bank of America and Wachovia that might come close.

See link below for on update on the legal battle between the two.
