Welcome / open talk

Has anyone seen or atempted to wire their unit directly to the fuse box?

What's the best accuracy, as measured in feet (or your favorite unit of distance), that your nuvi has reported on the satellite acquisition screen?

So far the best I've seen is "19 feet". I have a nuvi 660.

Hi,

My mio c310x takes a long time to load up due to all the poi I have installed. Anyone know how to delete all poi that is not located in CA? This should cut the loading time. Thanks.

This week we are recognizing Sammig and Mkahn with honorable mentions to ADCSUNSN and Lsmonop.

Sammig did an outstanding job finding all the Lexus dealerships. Mkahn, what can I say? You continue to be a very important part of our team here at POI Factory.

ADCSUSNS continued his work on the ham radio repeater locations and Lsmonop was extremely helpful in the forums.

Thanks everyone,

I have used this for reverse geocoding and so far the coordinates from GPS Visualizer and Geocoder.us seeme to ome the closest to my assigned mailing address. http://ashburnarcweb.esri.com/livesamples/v2/reversegeocodin...

I also thought it was kind of neat to go to this area of their site to reverse geocode a telephone number.

Just for fun this morning I tried my street address with the following web sites from here on Poi-Factory

* terraserver.microsoft.com - shows coordinates for addresses and map locations
* gpsvisualizer.com - shows coordinates for a list of addresses
* batchgeocode.com - shows coordinates for a list of addresses

I'm going to make the following lists. Any feedback on priorities would be appreciated. I'm new and some of these may already be done..... I will follow up.

Sonoma Wineries
Napa Wineries
Santa Cruz Wineries
San Francisco Bay area activities (museums, zoo's, parks, children's activities)

Opentable restaurants

Beaches in Hawaii.

I"m new to this, and I was wondering if there is a way to delete custom POI"s without having to delete all POI's that I downloaded. I would appreciate some feedback on this issue....thanks............waiting to here from someone soon

Later this week, I plan to upgrade the site's web platform to a newer version. Once everything is ready for the upgrade, I'll need to schedule an hour or two of downtime to move it onto the web server. I'll post a note when everything is ready to go.

i was wondering if there is some kind of technology where i could track my garmin C330 unit on the internet?

Greetings everyone,

A person on GpsPassion web site posted that he had his Nuvi and laptop lifted from his car. Someone posted on here not long ago of one they had, and thought it may be stolen, but I can't find the post to get the guys together. It's a long shot, but you never know.

I loaded two files to my 550 this morning with the following results. I put red light camers in a file called "internal" using POI Loader. This went in under Garmin L and the program said 1800+ files were loaded. I put Casinos USA in a file called "external" which I wanted to go to the SD card. I loaded to memory M and the program said 500+ files were loaded.

I had been wondering when the new Garmin Nuvi 680 was going to be released so I decided to send an email to Garmin Sales, for those who are unaware of the differences between the Nuvi 660 and 680, everything is identical except the 680 now comes with MSN (movies, weather, traffic, gas prices) updated frequently. Well to my amazement I was told that "Best Buy" already had them in stock.

I'm loading my first POI's into my Garmin C550 equiped with a SD Card. I have already downloaded (POI loader) and have two files in the folder Garmin POI. One of the files is the red light cameras and the other is a list of all Casinos in the U.S. What I would like to do is put red light cameras in the Garmin memory and the Casinos in the SD Card. I have three questions?

I have loaded the poi loader. But when i try to run it ask i put it in a .cvs file. i don't know how to do that. i then added edit Poi2007. still lost. i have read all i can read but am still clueless. Can anyone help the dummy?

What models of GPS's use the POI loader program? Can we use these loader programs to plot fire hydrants? We are thinking about using GPS's in our engines and we would like to load our fire hydrants for the locations throughout our township.

Simple question, which I can't seem to find the answer too. Does the Nuvi 350 have a small hard drive or use flash memory for content storage? Thanks!

Would like to share some poi's for garmins that include dialable phone numbers. Is this permitted here?

thanks,
Jamos

I am a new member. How do I search these discussion forums?

(I am learning about POIs, and after experimenting with uploading POIs into my Quest2, I want to learn how to delete what I uploaded.)
