Welcome / open talk

I live in Ct and travel thru NY & NJ a lot. My nuvi 660 wants to send me along I-95 and the GW bridge. I want to avoid that area and use I-684, I-287, and the GSParkway. I used Mapsource & the tracking to reroute to my favorite route, but something went wrong and it tried to return my to the NYC route. Have other people used this feature with success?

OK. Now I am confused. 2 Questions.

1) If I set an alert using POI Loader (manual mode) for an alert in distance, is that a radial distance from the coordiantes of the POI?

I am in the process of making a POI list of Hot Springs (natural and man made) for California. Any idea's out there. I'll be using Soak.net & Mapsource to located by lat/long(waypoints). Any suggestions or inputs would be apprieciated. Does anybody know where I can find a good hot spring icon? Any interest in hot springs at all?

So in about a year I'm taking my kids on the long promised Disneyland vacation...essentially I'm out of excuses as to why we can't go anymore so we're going. Anyway, anyway, as part of my searching for maps/guides, etc. for that area I came across this site:

...and thought I'd share. Looks like a good addition when visiting one of these places.

I tried to download the shipwreck files to an sd card and it said they were improper...Does anyone know how to correct them...I think the description is incorrectly placed in the A column....

when you download different poi's, is there some sort of alert that tells you, you are near a poi? If so, how can I set that up? Thanks

Isn't this really getting fun. I am going to add this location to "Offbeat Tourist Attractions for Wisconsin" that I downloaded from "bobkz" here on this site. Thanks everyone, and thank you too bobka!

What program do you need to use a 660 in China/Japan? I haven't seen maps for that area, or would the 660 just use the world map? This is ainly to be used on ship. I don't need it right at this moment, but something to be thinking about.

Hope to be an active contributor

1. When away from home,and choosing built in shopping, restaurants etc....does the GPS (knowing where you are) choose those closest to you at the time (as opposed to those by your home location) ?

Hi,
I'm curious to know if the Nuvi 350 has knowledge of where stop signs and traffic lights are located when mapping a route to it's destination.

I drive on local roads in NYC and the Nuvi 350 tends to ask me go on roads that are major roadways where there are more traffic and traffic lights.

Miss POI/JM, can you re-establish your donations link so that I can give a donation, please?

IMHO, you should leave that open and capture some revenue for all your hard work!

Hi there,

I have read the FAQs many times and I have also read over 25 pages of this forum. When I download a POI it goes to Excel. After that I have no idea what to do with it.

Does anyone have the patience to help me with this?

Been struggling with Garmin for sometime now and had indicated that I wanted this software on CD. I finally got the free software, but of course it's on DVD. Do they have this software on CD's? What's a person to do other than having to purchase a DVD drive? Can't get too upset over this free software, but would like to get it on my computer.

I heard on the radio that Matt Kenseth won a race this weekend. Therefore on the Monday after a winning race, Arby's will give customers free curly fries. That's for today, 4/16/07. I don't know how ofter these guys race, but more free fry days may be coming!
