Welcome / open talk

So what are the TOP 10 must have POI files? I thought that would be a FAQ or something.

I see Garmin has enhanced their look..more up to date style.

These three guys have given Miss Poi fun things to play with and I wanted to give them a quick thanks.

I am attaching the bmp icons that you gave me to the related poi files and now we will have fun things on our maps as we drive around.

Dear POI Factory,

I turn to the whole organizaition, because I think my suggestion is related to the improvement of both the web site organization and user interaction.

I would like to see advanced search (not only listing) options for the POI postings like:

• by country
• by state
• by interest
• by device (if specialized)
• by alerts
• by ... and so on

Hi,
Is there a way to give you money donations other than using pay pals - or what ever it is.. I do not use them nor will I. However, I would love to help out this board by showing my grats besides helpping with the poi and posts. I already got all of your poi that I need and would really like to help out with $$$ if I can..

When I am looking for unread messages, the unread items say "new" and are in red. However, if the discussion carries on to a second page, the latest items are not designated as new nor are they in red.

I downloaded some POI's into my garmin C550. Now when I load a route to a location....How do the POI's come into play?

Are there any POIs out there for school zones. Sounds like a great way to warn folks.

Does anybody know of POI file for Bank of America locations?

Has anyone had any luck finding a 3rd party map for Europe or Israel? I rented a GPS last year from Hertz and I could have bought a whole unit for the price they charged. I'd love to take my Nuvi with me next time I go, but Garmin doesn't produce maps for everywhere there are roads yet.

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and new to the GPS world. This site is amazing!

I bought the Nuvi 350 a couple weeks ago. When I bought the GPS, it came with version 8 maps and I used the web updater to update everything including the little icons. I haven't really had a chance to put it to use until yesterday afternoon.

I wonder if auto insurance would actualy pay for a unit if it was stolen or ruined by the sun or ruined in a crash...........probably not............Dave

I have a Garmin etrax vista c and just got a new nuvi 360. I would like to know if I can upload my waypoints from my vista c to the nuvi 360? Thanks for any help.

I have a garmin c330, I would say it is the low end product. Are there any other gps that would give me height restriction? for example it will allow me to pick the vichile im driving. I put bus in as Im driving a motor home and yet it put me on the blueridge park way and there were low tunnels.
are there better units out there?
Jim

I just purchased the Garmin 2720, primarily for the STT and the ability to load custom POI'S. Does any one think that the Nuvi 350 would be a better purchase than the 2720? I like the portability and battery factor but aside form the MP3 player (which I don't need), I think the 2720 has a few more benefits, bells and whistles, etc.

I bought my Nuvi 680 at Best Buy for 999.00 and they have an extra warranty for 99.99 for 4 years coverage.........just wondering if anyone has had experience with warranties yet?............Dave

I have the Gamin C530 and I am trying to install more than one POI file both my sd card and the Garmin. I have successfully installed one file one each but every time I add a second file it overwrites the previous file installed. The files have different names. Can anyone help me?

This certainly falls under the "Misc." category so I'm posting it here for fun. I wonder what Garmin would do?
