All POI's in one file

I have just purchased a mio c320 and am unhappy with the lack of POI's and have been looking for a free way to get more on their. I was wondering if there is a way to put all the POI's from this sit in one file without having to download them all individually the splicing them together. I know I will have to convert them for use in my PND.

POI File Alert

When making a poi file if you put a number with the file the poi loader will use it as an alert for speed but does anyone know how to put feet in the file so you dont have to manually do it with the poi loader because if you got a lot of poi files it takes forever Thanks

Tomtom ONE LE or Garmin Nuvi 200? Which should I choose?

Hi,

Between these two units, which of these has the foreign language voice (Chinese-Cantonese)?

I tried to look up info for these units on the web and was confused by different versions of Tomtom (ONE, ONE 3rd edition). And LE edition wasn't mentioned much.

Can poi files be downloaded to a Magellan Roadmate 2000

I'm not sure this is the appropriate forum to ask a question, however I would welcome any discussions regarding the Magellan Roadmate 2000. Also I am a chauffeur in L.A. and would be interested in comments with regard to what users think is the best GPS for chauffeurs

Chatty Kathy thread for the week of November 26th 2007

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.

Navigon 5100 GPS

Hi. Has anyone purchased and been using the Navigon 5100 GPS unit ?

My wife ordered one for her parents from Costco.

It was $299 Plus a $50 Rebate on top of that.

It seems like a reasonably capably unit but has very mixed reviews.

So I'd like to hear from any actual owners.

Thanks, Tim

This week is a special week, it marks the first anniversary of the COW award;)

Sewisdom, you did a wonderful job making poi files this week and also creating the BMP Icons that went with those files.

How do I delete a phone number I have added to my Nuvi phonebook?

When I got my new Nuvi 680, I figured out a way to import my cell phonebook to it by using bluetooth and sending via vcard....one at a time. The problem is, I added a number I didn't really want into the Nuvi phonebook and I can't find a way to delete it. Am I stuck with the numbers that I added, forever?..lol.

For Miss Poi

I don't mean to be disrespectful but ... is your photo for real? 'cause mine is, as many other posters'! (lol)

Any CyberMonday Specials ?

Does anyone have a list of Cyber Monday GPS specials?

Some of us had to work Black Friday and missed those deals sad

First line reated in custom POI

Sorry if this has been asked before. I did a search, but couldn't find an answer/fix.

Some, not all, of my custom POIs has the first line repeated at the top (on the display screen). Is there a way to prevent this?

nuvi 680 now $479.99 AT costco

good price for the nuvi 680 AT 479.99 AT www.costco.com

nuvi 200w

Does anyone know if the nuvi does text to voice saying street names or is it just turn in 200ft thing?

Thanks

Cat Scales

Edit by Miss Poi: Mfoust updated this file on 11-25-07 - These are all the current CAT scales in N. America as of today. There are 1071. Infact, the CAT site claimed to be accessing real time data when I downloaded and converted it. The other CAT scale post on this site only takes you to the center of the city that the scale is located in. These take you directly to the scale. Enjoy Driver.

Multi-Destination Routing

Hi
Can anyone recommend GPS receivers that allow for Multi Destination Routing? As a real estate agent I would like to enter multiple addresses and have these displayed with quickest route etc.
thanks

csv to ov2

Using poiedit, I can't convert sams.csv (garmin.csv) to sams.ov2. Any hints as to what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.

Low Cost GPS Performance

I have seen all the low cost GPS receivers advertised for Christmas some as low as 99 dollars. I wonder how they perform compared to say a Garmin Nuvi series. Would love to hear from everyone here who has gotten one of these models. Like to hear not only how it performs but what features the units have.

Still love my Nuvi but gotta love a 99 dollar GPS!

Officer I'm sorry I was going the wrong way on that one-way street but my GPS told me to turn left ... Oh, I'm still getting a ticket, okay then the GPS will see ya in court!

Garmin SP 550

My first post, so hope it's right! If I download the Red Light Cameras, is the purpose to alarm my GPS when I get near one?
