Welcome / open talk

Hi Everybody,

It it possible to have an alert play when the route you're traveling, approaches a RR crossing? A sound alert that's triggered (or detected) by the Mapsource map and not a .csv file?

Thanks for your time.

Does anyone using a Nuvi have an explanation as to why there is a lag time in showing your current location on the map? In fact sometimes the vehicle icon doesnt move for 3 to 5 seconds, it acts like its froze up.

i click on link for attractions in sf, los angeles, etc. and there's nothing to download. for sf,i can only download free garage.

Hello again, happy Saturday!!!!

Here is where you get a chance to recognize your peers and let them know that you think they are doing outstanding work here at the POI Factory.

Have fun

The wife and I are headed to California next week, does anyone have a movie shot on location POI? Or home of the stars? I looked thru the Cali POI file and didn't find exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks Jim

Just saw an item on the local news about a new type of speed trap: Cardboard COP Cutout.

Symrna, Tennessee has a new way of enforcing the speed limit, they employ a life-sized cardboard cutout of one of their own, Sgt. Andy Miller, holding a radar gun.

Funny thing is it's working!

Miss POI consider this a report of an enforcement device!

I found a site that features an interface comparison between a Garmin and a TomTom. The link is here: COMPARISON

So if you're shopping for a GPSr and are still 'on the fence' here's one more comparison to confuse you! :)

I found one file of some parts stores, but is there a more complete list that anyone knows of?

Autozone, oriellys, napa, carquest, ect.... all in one file?

I travel around Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Utah alot and it would be a nice resource to have.

I understand that mapsource is garmin's program to load customroutes/maps. I have the map update 2008 dvd i got for free from garmin for buying gps w/ the old maps. I've tried launching mapsource program (50mb download) but it says i don't have a registration code.

when i download c.o.e.campgrounds to docs. its in excel. format, poi loader finds other docs.in that file but not campgrounds.
if i click on docs. from start menu it (campgrounds) is there ???

please help a newbie to this , but an old hand at computers , what am i doing wrong ?

Thanks Cory

I had poi set 1 loaded into nuvi. then loaded set 2. i only see set 2 poi's now.

Well,old Nuvi held up!

On my computer I have the old v.6, or maybe it was on Microsoft Streets and Trips, I could calculate trips out and plan for more than one stop length of stop for several days in a row.
I now have nuvi 660.
Has anyone seen any progam that could be added that would give me the greater ability to plan my trips out?

What is the largest size SD card that will work with my Nuvi 200?

Can I use these POI files on a Magellan 4040?

Anybody aware of a POI for Fastrak Lanes? Direction and time of day?

How about Freeways with Carpool Lanes?

I need CA, but seems like it would be across the US.

thanks

I'm in sales and use my C530 to locate the location of new prospects.

I recently purchased a c330 at CC for $249 and absolutely love it. I'm wondering though if the custom POI's that you load will show up on the map when you are driving?

Has anyone created or konw of a POI file containing diesel fuel stations? Many of the fuel stations do not carry diesel.

Hi,

I had purchased a new garmin in East Coast 4 months back.
It used to work really well. Would catch the satellite
real quick.
Recently i moved to BayArea (WestCoast) and in here
it doesnt catch the satellite at all. It takes 10 mins sometimes. But most of the time it never catches satellite.
Anybody know whats the problem is ? Does resetting help ? How to do a hard reset.
