Welcome / open talk

I have added three new categories for POI Files this morning.

Golf Courses
Sports - Hunting/fishing
Attractions - Scenic drives

I have been moving some files around to the new areas. Please let me know if there is a file that I missed or if I misplaced one.

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 3 people;) Hornbyp, Lee Preston and Perrdom.

I have the TomTom 920 as well as the Garmin Nuvi 680 and was just wondering if it was possible to convert the Europe map for the 920, to the Garmin 680.

Hello all,

I have just purchased my first GPS primarily for touring Canada and the US in our RV. I bought a Garmin Nuvi 670 and found it easy to use so far.

I started looking around for POI's and found this site so I joined in hopes of learning to find new and interesting places to visit.

I have looked and don't see any bank POI's, e.g., Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, etc., Am I over looking them, or, are they listed under another category?

When I go to "My Account" I have three tabs
VIEW EDIT TRACK

In the track I get to see all that I participate in.
Would it be possible to have a fourth Tab.
MY POIs

This could then track only the POIs that I submitted.
It would be easier to double check our files if we only saw them and not all the discussions as well.

Just an idea

Thanks

Does anyone know how to get a photo that moves as your picture like the waving flag that I have seen or the insect that keeps going in a figure eight pattern? I especially like the one that is a still photo and then they all wave at you...like they came to life

Since I have my new PC I cant modify anymore the csv files that I download????

I am using exel 2000.

Help

Just got a Nuvi 360 and looking to download POIs.

Dear Friends,
Where may I find a POI file for Hess service stations?

I am sure some of you are familiar with NASA's on-line satellite tracking software. If you select "Navigation" satellites you can see where the GPS are in relation to the earth.
The PRN x number is the satellite ID that matches my data screen on my Mio unit.

Using the Nuvi 750, to me it seems that the announce notice to turn etc is often quite short, even at low speeds(30 mph) One hardly has adequate time to get into the proper lane. Not always, but often Anyone else agree? I guess I was spoiled with VzNavigator with also uses Navteq mappings. It would talk you to death several times before the turns.

I notice my Nuvi 760 gets confused when recalculating in major overpass intersections. Does it read it's current GPS elvation data and determine the current height, so it knows if it's on the elevated freeway, or at street level?

I notice it gets confused when making a u-turns an elevated freeways.

This is a great site. But I was wondering who creates these files that all the GPS compamies are using this is in reference to the ones that come preloaded in the GPS when they are purchased. Also how do we update the file if they are missing locations for example the dunkin dounuts file seems to be missing stores where I Live.

I'm new to the group but a long time GPS user. I found your group after I got a Mio C320 for Christmas and was looking for help on importing POIs and using all the other cool features on my new toy. This is a way cool group!

Next time a black and white police unit cruises by you look inside at the dash or windshield.
Can you spot his/her GPS?
GPS is becoming a great tool for patrol officers.

Just a quick hi there everybody. I have recently bought a Garmin 250w up in Canuckland and have been searching for a descent Garmin GPS forum, and it seems I may have found one.

Want to see what the consensus is regarding; "the ultimate GPS receiver for the techno geek"?

Hi everyone:
