POI for PDA/mobile GPS

Hi there ..
Further to the revolution in mobile phone gps .. Do any of you have an idea if its possible to upload custom poi to nokia N95 or 6610 navigator ..??? what about the PDA ..??

Does anyone use the 9 Char Zip?

I mentioned in an earlier post, that due to some GPS's having limited real estate, does anyone use the 9 Char. Zip Code. Give me a good reason to use all 9 rather than 5, since the coordinates get you to the location.

Please suggest a PDA with GPS feature

Hi all,

I'm looking for a new GPS. Can someone please suggest me a GPSr that has:

1) Pocket PC based PDA, so I can store contact list, calendar, etc.

2) A GPS, preferably with newer chipset (e.g. SIRF II or better).

Thanks.

Site Navigation (skipping a post)

I would like to mark selected posts as read. This would help skip threads didn't apply to me or my system. I am not able to figure out how to mark selected items as read so they will no longer appear in my list. Is this possible?

Story from The Economist. Interesting read of sorts. Is it possible that recent acquisitions of TeleAtlas and Navteq will look overpriced in the future?

Free Map Update 2008 for Garmin ?

Hi All: I ordered the free dvd from Garmin for my c550 and my question is ... Is it better coverage? I live in the hinter lands just south of Redding CA and the maps that came installed on my c550 are not that up to date for the smaller towns. Will the Free Map Update DVD help this problem ?

Mini Map Updates - A suggestion

Here is a suggestion. While I understand that it is not something that would be a snitch to implement I wonder if Garmin would ever consider it. (Maybe GarminTech would care to comment.)

Disney addresses for Garmin North America v8

I have a Garmin C330 and am trying to locate my disney resort. The addresses for Disney come up not found on my GPS. Can't even find walt disney world, disney world.
Any suggestions on how to find my way from Ontario to Disney World.
I am directionally challenged, hence the GPS, but without a destination, I will be lost.
Appreciate any help.

New Features for Unread Posts

I've updated the unread posts page to include a couple new options.

Each post now has a "skip" action, which marks the post as read (without viewing).

I've also added a "Set Favorite Forums" feature, that lets you designate your favorite forums so their posts sort ahead of others in the unread posts list.
