Welcome / open talk

Hello...I was wondering how everyone has there POI's sorted. For me I have a directory named:

POI Factory, then under that directory I have each sub directory for that subject. Like

POI Factory/Attractions/

OK I'm new at this online stuff and am surprised to find so much information available. Does anyone know how much (megabites) of memory is in the Garmin nuvi 660?

I am doing some research for a friend who is interested in purchasing a car navigation system. He uses Streets and Trips to create routes and wants to know if there is a way to create trips using that software and then upload those into a GPS system. If there is what brands/models of GPS would be available to him?

Garmin just released an update for the v550

For some reason, every time I go from one discussion forum to another, the system is logging me out and I have to log in again to see the new topics.

I'll try tonight on a different computer, but wondered if anyone else is having this problem. I have not had this happen before today.

This week we are recognizing Jmarqua and Weebl.

Jmarqua has been busy building Poi files of sports attractions and Weebl has been a huge help in the forums this week.

Thanks guys

Hello all!

I'm new to this site, but I just wanted to post this website that has common speed traps for each state.

http://www.speedtrap.org/speedtraps/stetlist.asp

As far as I can tell, it's pretty accurate and was wondering how difficult it would be to create a POI file based on the information listed in each city.

Anyway, cool site, I'll be digging thru here as often as I can!

Hi - I'm new to the GPS world. I have a Nuvi 350 and began downloading Custom POI's to the Nuvi internal storage with success. When I downloaded POI's to the SD card I am getting this message from POI Loader:
"Problem copying data to the data card"
"The parameter is incorrect"
Is anyone familiar with this message?

Hello

I am new to this site. Last year I bought the Garmin Streetpilot 2720. It's been great because I am terrible with directions and can't read a map to save me (& I have one in the car).

Now I really am stuck. I loaded the 2.4 POI beta and tried uploading to my 376c. POI won't recognize my GPS. I get an error message. Devices found but none have the necessary capabilities. Make sure device is turned on (it is) and set to Garmin or Host (set to Host). HELP Please!!!!

Just looked on Garmin site, guess my 376c is not compatible with POI, what do I do now?

Ok all, I feel like Forrest Gump asking this but here goes. I have been reading about uploading to the GPS, (haven't done it yet) and it is my understanding that previous POI's are over written, does that include the standard POI's that are in mapsource, if so how do I keep the mapsource originals?

So I talked the wife into going out to eat at the Light House Seafood resterant. This place is way out in lower Alabama back woods and I had no idea how to get there. Looked under seafood on my Nuvi 350 and there it was, surprised me. So I introduced the wife to the Nuvi, cute she said but I not sure of this is a good idea, and how much did that cost.

I just bought the Garmin C340. Downloaded all of the updated data from the Garmin website to my C340. (Yes, all of it....even all the different voice language updates. Maybe this was a boo boo) Then I went and started using the POI loader and started uploading POI's.

I got through about five of them, using some I found at another website...

I just purchased a garmin c330. I also d/l the listing of red light camera's and a few other poi for the garmin.

Everytime I log in POI Factory I come away with good stuff. Thanks for the information on using googel earth.

I'm new at using a gps,but trying to learn.I would like to create my own poi file on places we travel. I looked up a point in New Mexico using two different sources,"google earth" and "infosports" and found that I come up with two different readings. Example: Rainbow Lake Lodge using infosport -105.66950,33.31084 and using Google Earth -105.40102,33.18390. Maybe I'm going at this all wrong?

I just found this 1GB SD flash free after rebate!
