Welcome / open talk

Not entirely certain so I thought it best to ask the "brain trust" rather than goof up the Garmin 750. My nuvi 750 came pre-loaded with the current City Navigator NT North America 2008 map. I also requested the DVD from Garmin and received it totally free in 4 days. Fantastic service! My questions are as follows:
1) Is there anything on this DVD that I don't already have on my GPS unit?

With the GPS becoming so popular now.Has anyone started to see any local GPS clubs starting up?This reminds me back when the CB radios got to the point everybody wanted one.A lot of local clubs were formed as a result.Not only did ideas get shared but a lot of them worked with the communities.

Plug these coordinates, 65 14 43S 64 15 24W, into Google Earth and check out some of the local pictures. My friend is anchored at this location. His boat, Tamara, and pictures of his trip are shown in his blogspot: http://krillroye.blogspot.com/

I have one Garmin SP 340, and 3 vehicles to choose from. I felt like my mount would not last long having to move the mount back and forth. I found "Nav-Mat" in Best Buy. They sell for $39.95, but were on sale for $29.95. I bought one, and I like it very much. It is heavy, and the bottom of it has a antiskid pad that is very non-skidish. It stays where you put it. Very well made.

Miss Poi,

Is it possible to add the metro section as section tab
(next to discussion) or a link on the front page. This section is growing and needs attention. As people travel to other locations they can scan the metro section for local POI in that area. The search features works fine but a link/tab may be better.

Corrections to the Chicago metro:

Reviews on the nuvi 800, 780, 5000 and more. Interesting to see what is coming up this year.

I didn't see an introductions thread, so I decided to make my own. Just wanted to introduce myself, JayTheChemist... I look forward to participating in this forum in the coming times...

Are there any BMP files for Wal*Mart? Can't seem to find any on my searches.

does anyone know of a good laptop navigation device,im just looking for more ways to pass the time while traveling,and was wanting something that can be loaded on my laptop ,and have some sort of on dash receiver,thanks for any response to this

I've tried my C340 in a few different cars and have noticed that the speed is consistently 3-5 MPH below what the car's speedometer reads. The faster I am driving, the greater the discrepancy. I'd figure that the GPS reading would be the more accurate of the two, especially over distance, but the cars seem to all agree with each other. Has anybody taken a look into the accuracy of this?

I am getting ready to create a new poi file which will contain different hotel chains in the file. A question arose about being able to also have icons for each hotel chain. I thought that you could only load one icon per folder and that icon would apply to the locations in that particular file it is associated with.

A few of you may be experiencing log in issues, please bear with us, we are working on it right now;)

Miss POI

hello everyone,

Please can you help me, i ma trying to download the poi for NZ , where can i find the file to download.

please advise

I have a story that I would like to share about at least one person with the organization that is a real gentleman. When I decided to do the POI on Carlos O'Kellys I went to their web site to see if there was anything I could download to help me out.

Very Cool:

Some of the POI files I uploaded indicated they were updated. It appears they were added to an additional grouping (Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts). Maybe this caused that indicator.

I don't care if they were updated, I just would like to know if there was something wrong with them so I don't keep doing something stupid.

Thanks, Rob.

Can we take are GPS to these location on plane trip???? (Cuba or Mexico)

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.
