Can anyone help me? I was able to transfer the Redlight Camera csv file to a magellan file .mgl via the Magellan software however I don't know how to get the sound poi for a redlight camera on there. I named the mp3 file the same as the redlight camera file but when I attempt to transfer it to a Magellan file it needs longitude and lattitude coordinates...does anyone know if this can be done?

Is there a possibility that the Pois could be cross indexed by geography? For example, I'm going on a trip to Alaska and Western Canada. It would be great to download all Pois on file for this geography.

The other option, is to go through each of the many, many files and see which I would like for this specific trip.

there is a update for the streetpilot 300 series

We are touring New England soon. In the UK we do not have WAAS/EGNOS enabled, for the states would it be better to have in on. We have a 670 and will be using it via the cig lighter connection so battery life should not be a problem.

in the early days of this room we talked about such things as gps scuba diving and gps sky diving. now every one seems so serious. come on lets put some humor into gps

Wow! bought my C330 for $249.68,I get some money back from Best Buy on sale $229.99,and at Circuit City.I have 2 day left to get my difference.I think B/B policy if it sells for less somewhere else B/B give the Diff.plus knock 10% off.

I have a Nuvi 350. I travel mostly in semi-rural areas and small communitites of under 100,000, very infrequently in urban canyons. I notice the Nuvi 350 has the option of WAAS on or off. I realize the <3 meters accuracy possible with WAAS, but if I m not calling in artillery shots, do I need to consume the extra battery power that WAAS "ON" would use?

can i still upload pois?

I was trying to search for POI's in New Mexico. Easy enough to search on New Mexico, but some of the titles have the state abbreviations. The problem is you can't search on NM because it is too small. I tried a space character followed by NM and that is too short.

I'm just wondering since we have a lot of descriptions that use the abbreviation if we can allow a search on those.

anyone load 100k poi's?

Well, looks like I may be going to China in a few weeks. I know my Nuvi doesn't speak Mandarin, but does anyone know if I can get maps of Beijing?

Any one know of a Pep Boys POI database other than the existing one which is just for California? I'm looking for Pep Boy stores over the US or at least the western US.

Does anyone have a file for Cosi?? Another good location for folks on the road as virtually all locations offer free wi-fi - not to mention decent food.

Does anyone have a POI file for Bruegger's Bagel??

Besides the great bagels, bagel sandwiches and coffee, almost all locations offer free wi-fi!

I am not very computer savay and could use some help with the install of the red light camera alerts and icons for a Garmin S/P 550C .I believe i correctley install the camera locations because I have POI icon I didnt have before and stated 2500 plus cvs where download so if someone could help me out it would be greatley appreciated...

Thanks Joe
