POI database file.

Hello,
I am new and have the Roadmate 2200T and kind of disappointed with 1.5Millions POI which is way less than the 3000t, 760. I just wonder if any one can extract the POI database from 3000t, 760 and import into the 2200t?
Thanks

Creating POI files from Google Earth searches?

I'm wondering what sources are allowed for use to create POI files for this site? I have a compiled ov2 of free wifi in the phoenix area as well as some other ov2's, but they are largely created from google earth searches which I've converted with POI edit. Does anyone else do this? And is it considered valid information for this site?

Any Kawasaki Bike dealers POI?

is there a file for Kawasaki Bike dealers in the usa?

Do you think Garmin should have same POI updates for FREE like the TOM TOM? And don't forget TOM TOM's updates are done automatilly with its software!

Screen protectors for the Nuvi 600 series???

Hi All,

I have a Nuvi 670 and would like to know if there are there any "brick & mortar" stores who sell "screen protectors". I've done searches on the 'net and although there are an abundance of places they can be purchased online, I'd just like to walk into a store and buy them over the counter.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,

Tailspin

Recent theft of my Garmin GPS unit.

I was travelling via plane (Had a holdover in Washington DC) from Vermont to Norfolk Virginia. My Garmin 2720 GPS unit was packed inside my checked luggage. When i arrived home the actual gps unit and it's cable were stolen (They left the base unit). I ended up filing a police report (Vermont was the last place I had the unit so had to file it there).

and the nominations for this weeks COW awards are......

drum roll please....

ok start nominating;)

Using HTML tags for webpage links

When using HTML tags on this forum for webpage links, it would really help POI Factory's 'Search' option if you would display the URL or a descriptive name instead of 'here' or 'link'.

Searching for here or link really sucks; but searching for http://gpsvisualizer.com/ or GPS Visualizer will produce results.

Thanks.

Tracking waypoints.

I have a nuvi 350. I've been hearing about the new lake/trial map soon to come out for this later this year. I was wondering does anyone know that will that have a waypoint tracking line showing where I started to where i end up? Meaning if I'm on a trail or lake I would like it to show me exactly the line I took to get to my destination. May I already have that but don't know about it.

Auto Repair Shops by Users in POI Factory *UPDATE*

I created a POI file that contains "Recommend Auto Repair shops" from other POI Factory users.

Have you ever found that you are stuck on the road in a differnt state and need a trusted Auto Repair shop, Now you can go to where other POI Factory users go.

If you have a great place that you want to share, let us know so that we can put the information in the file for others to use.

Problem w/ Disney World Resort File

There seems to be a problem with the updated Disney World Resort file. I replaced the old one with it and my I5 only shows the first entry (Shades of Green) without any info following it and no other locations. I checked to see if the entire file was down loaded and it was. Can anyone tell what is wrong?

Happy Memorial Day

Have a great weekend everybody!

Remember to drive safely, wear your seatbelt's and, most importantly, enjoy yourselves and your GSPr's wherever you go and whatever you do.

Take time this weekend to pause and reflect on the sacrifices of the few that've affected the many here in the USA!

Great site and POIs

Going on vacation in the Smoky Mountains next week so as a whim I thought I would see what POIs were out there. To my surprize I found POIs for the Smokys and Blue Ridge parkway near the Smokys. Wow, that will make for a more enjoyable trip for sure. See more, not get lost. smile Thanks to GC0110 for both of those.
