Welcome / open talk

This week I've been creating a "My locations" feature for the POI Factory. It gives each user account an area store a few personal locations (up to 50) and makes it easier for beginners to create their own properly formatted POI files.

Like other files in the POI Database, these files are built by typing locations into a web page. Users can choose to download as GPX or several CSV formats.

While you starting your unit press bottom left corner then the unit will ask you if you really want to start maintenance mode or not, just click on Yes, from new menu click view Diagnostics, then press Next many times till you get Bluetooth Status, click Updt to update then Yes, wait fore some time then reboot your unit… Done

Is it possible to have the threads ordered newest to oldest instead of oldest to newest?

All this talk about poi, and nothing about cooking with the Hawaiian/Polynesian staple food...

Ok, it's Friday, and I'm in a goofy mood - what can I say?

One of these days, someone will stumble in and ask where the recipes are... for real...

I stumbled across this forum as I am a new owner of a Garmin Nuvi 350. Having never used any sort of GPS system before, and not knowing what to expect, Google fond this site.
I have no idea how POI works, and I though the GPS would show stuff like restaurants while traveling a route. Maybe the 350 will and I haven't figured it out yet.

Hi all. I found this site the other day looking for POI info. Just looking around it appears I am in the minority in that I use a handheld rather than a Streetpilot. I had been using a Garmin 60CS up until a week or so ago when I traded up for a 60CSx. It looks tlike there is a lot of good info here related to POIs.

Loaded with the Beta version 2.4.0.1 the transparency feature does work.

I've managed to come up with a traffic light bmp with transparent background. It was a quick effort, so I could use some feedback. If anyone wants to try it out, go for it.

I'm heading off to Europe for a couple of weeks and have just ordered the Garmin CITY NAVIGATOR NT EUROPE ON SD CARD v9 - Model # 010-10680-00

I wanted to pass on my research for saving some cash on this item.

- on Garmin website: $349.99 + $6 S&H = $355.99

- on Dahhanes Co. Electronics & Supplies: $250.90 + $12.95 S&H = $263.85

* a savings of $92.14!

Just wonder these files are free of virus?

Anyone else having a problem with their unit no adjusting to the time change? The time setting is on automatic, but it has yet to update.

Any links to free travel guides that have text intead of (or in addition to) audio?

Prefer ones that include reviews/color commentary - not just addresses.
thanks - love this site!

I guess some of us just can't leave well enough alone!

How do you sort out only the Red Light Cameras by cites.
I only want the cities in my area, not all over the U.S.. Can this be done? If so how.

here is the link for new jersey speed trap joop1987_NJ_Speed_Traps.zip

I have a Garmin C330 and I have noticed that it estimates arrival times based on using a speed 5-6 mph over the actual speed limit for the road. I don't know of a way to adjust this. Has anybody else noticed this? Do other GPS brands allow you to adjust the way arrival times are calculated?

I just got my Garmin Zumo 550 last week and found a link to this site on another forum. What a cool concept and I'm glad such a site exists! I've already reported two red light cams that I know of. I ride a couple of different bikes. A 2000 Honda VFR800FI and a 2005 Honda VTX 1800N3.

Has anyone ever seen a data base that will convert
Log and Lat to an address?
Can you limit the number of times a red light alarm
will continue to beep or can you controll duration?
It is annoying when you are stuck at a light and it
continues to go off.

Just one question, Is there a way to get spell checking on this site? I am a very bad speller and would love to check my spelling as to not look like a foll.. I am sure other will agree.

Thanks

JM and Miss Poi, you guys keep up the great work.

I know how hard it is to do something like this from your real jobs, Like I said in the older days, I ran a BBS and users were good and so bad..

I applaud you in this GREAT FREE SITE and if there is anything I can help in, just ask!

People.. Be kind, and just enjoy the SYSOPS to keep this site running...

New nüvi line : 200, 250, 270
http://www.garmin.dk/products/description/5/13579/

The indication that the 250 was in the works was first spotted by jotne here at the end of last year and this new line is now coming to life, with its first appearance most likely at CeBIT at the end of the week.
