Happy Father's Day to all fathers!!!!!

I need a favor, I have been getting questions about how to imput these icons and mp3 files into units and I really have no clue how to do it. I would like to have someone write up a FAQ that can be attached to the libraries that will help people get these great features into their devices.

So if you have a great understanding of the process please post it here and I will make it a faq.

I just purchased a NUVI 350. I was wanting to load speed enforcement and red light cmeras into the GPS. 1st, Can anyone tell me if the red light cameras download also contains fixed speed zone enforcement? 2nd, after downloaded does it include audio and visual effects on the GPS?

Thanks

Hi,
Can you find one of the icons that I sent you ( a little martin form mar dude) that I would like it to be used for my offbeat poi files..

Here I am almost 50 years old and I am getting ready to go paintballing with my son on Sat!

I want to thank tracylaud83 for his POI on Paintball parks.. I didnt know some of the ones listed were so close to me.. I live in NYC.

Thanks tracylaud83 for your work!!

This discussion topic is used for collaboration on the San Francisco, CA metro area project.

You can provide feedback and suggestions for files in the San Francisco project area by replying to this topic.

I'm still kinda new here, but have been getting a lot useful information from these posts. Trinipeng started one on Boston, which has created a lot of suggestions (Boston has to be THE perfect place to start a topic about city driving... Well, Rome and Shanghai too, I suppose).

Hello all,

Article title: Points of Interest (POI) for your GPS

They give good mention...

• POI Factory - a broad collection of POI files that can be uploaded and shared. Free and many quite up to date.

Does anyone know if you can use topo maps on the c530?

How can i put iron to my garmin c320

I would like to revisit a queston that has been asked before. I am considering purchasing an FM traffic antenna for my Garmin 2720 and wonder if anyone finds them worth the investment.

First of all I want to thank everyone who is working on creating the BMP files. They are great!

Just received my new vent mount in the mail the other day. I think it’s really cool!

Advantages:

1. Brings the GPS unit at least a foot closer than the suction-cup mount placed on the center of the windshield.
2. Much easier to see and read the GPS screen as the distance between my eyes and the Nuvi 350 screen is now just the right distance for reading without glasses (at my age).

I found this video that explains how GPS system works.

If the site does not work, you can google this: lab rats tv gps.

Miss POI just informed me that I lost my hard-earned windmill. Now I have to work hard to earn it back.

By the way, I'll be in DC for a week next month. Anybody knows of a good Thai restaurant near DuPont Circle?

I've been using GPS technology for about 3 years, and in that time, I've noticed a couple of addresses entered into the unit don't always send me to the place where the actual place turns out to be. Most of these glitches can be attributed to the GPS reversing the direction of the street numbers.

Does anybody have a POI list for Carl's Jr. Restaurants? I'm setting up a Gamin 60CS for a friend who loves Carls and would like to surprise him with the file.

I just recently bought my Nuvi 660 and looking for any POIs of interest. If there are POIs that are factory loaded, will adding third party POIs overwrite the factory POIs (if the factory CSV files are not present in the same folder as the third party items, when uploading?

anybody have any good poi for gatlinburg tn ? will be taking a vacation there in a month .
