Welcome / open talk

Is there a way to delete some of the posts in the folder that has each of the forums that you have posted to? It is getting big and some I don't follow any more.

Thanks,

I just notice on Costco.com that they offered the Nuvi earlier than was expected. $249.99 + s&h.

I have been having a problem making a route in MS Streets 2007, converting it using GPS Visualizer, for a Garmin GPS. The first route I did worked fine. Now I can not remember the setting I used. I do not see a choice for MS 2007. But am pretty sure I use that the last time. Then converting to one of the Map source formats. Any suggestions?

One word POI ?

I was just reading a couple of other posts that mentioned it, and I was wondering how many actually use it. If so, why???? I mean, if someone steals your GPSr, then finds out later that it's useless to them, aren't they just going to toss it in the trash?

I recently bought a used magellan 700 from another trucker. This is my first experience with a gps unit and I am hooked. I drive a big truck across 48 states and wonder what is the best system to buy? Is there any unit that has truck routes?

Is there an easy program that I can view the contents of an srf file in? No, I don't want to stare at Navigirl! I have so many from various places in a folder on my PC now that it's hard to remember what some of them are. I don't really want to have to install them to find out.

Somewhere I saw a POI of U.S. Army COE Parks that accommodate RV's. Did anyone else see the same if so I would appreciate the help?

I suspect this has already been discussed on this site so please help with a node link. I have a map which I made with mapman and would like to make it possible to have my nuvi670 find the streets and use them for routes. Is there a topic location I can read to see how this is done

Do we have a POI for restaurant/diner/etc. that when you visit places that somebody recommends that they don't miss if they visit some states?

For example, when you visit Philly, don't forget to try GENO's, PATs etc.

Most of this I watch from FOOD network.

I just came across the alert sounds page; so I started browsing the files. Living in a big city, if I put a majority of them on my gps, it would be going off all of the time. Best Buy alert, CompUSA alert (which they are selling out and will be no more), restaurant alerts, wow... more than what I would have ever thought of.

I am able to only load 256 icons onto my custom poi listing. I have tried to load files either (1)totally onto my gps 7200, (2) totally onto my sd card or (3)any combination of the two. The number of files are not limited to 256, but when my number of icons reaches 256, no further icons are loaded. Any files after the 256 are loaded without any problems.

Hey,
Have any of you been screwed out of you points at Get-Go? I have been told by a friend that he hadn't use his for three months and when he went to get his gas..

I noticed that at least in the Chicago area (NW side) the theft of GPS units increased dramatically in the last few months. i have several friends that had their GPS's stolen from cars. One case is worth mentioning.

Hi All,

Has anyone come up with any mounting solution for the GPS?

I know of the suction mount, vent mount and I've seen the mount on the actual car charger.

If you have any invention or idea of where you can place your GPS, THIS is the place to bring it to life.

Cheers!

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 was a hard one to figure out. There has been a huge increase in the work flow since Christmas. I ran some numbers today and in the last 7 days we have 175 new files or additions to old files. We also added 32 new icons and 25 new sound alert files, I am so impressed by what is happening here.

Hi All I am going to PLaya Del Carmin Mexica which is in the Riveira Maya section of Mexico. I have a Nuvi 660. Will I need to upload maps before I go? It looks like I have some sites in there already from when I uploaded My fodors travel guide.

Also Doeas Anybody buddy know where I can upload any good walking tours?

Debating which to get Garmin 650 or TT 720.
Much debate on map inaccuracy's etc, I understand this is important.

However, ability to travel and use programed info. is also very important to me.
