how do I delete custom poi's on my garmin c340?

Once an active member always an active member? Once I get my little windmill, it is not forever? How sad. I was busy for a couple of weeks and have not been on much, so no more windmill. Do the same rules apply to keeping it as to receiving it? 3 weeks out of 5? How do you get a compass? And the other little icons (I think it is a trophy)? What do they all mean?

I updated my c550 and I am not happy with the changes. I am wondering what others think of the changes.

are there any dowloads for the c 330 to change the voices ?

Garmin lists POI Loader v2.4.0.0 as a beta release and to be "used at your own risk". I've been using it and never had any issue with it at all. Usually when I think of a beta release of any software, I think of it as buggy.. and usually it is. So I'm just curious, have any of you had any negative experiences or found any bugs at all with this version? Because it seems perfectly fine to me.

I recently installed the red light POI on my Garmin 530. When I go to my computer and open the Garmin directory there is a POI folder indicating the file size 204K . However the red light file is 139K. I assume there is a file or files that came with the unit. Does anyone know. I want to remove the file from the internal memory and put in on the SD card

We have red light cameras.
I just wonder if anyone can send or text IM to anyone who own GPS about the police who using radar guns on some location

Can anyone tell me what the screenshot feature is for, and or how to operate it for garmin c550???

WOW! What a cool website! I'm really excited to be here and looking forward to using some POI's. I live in Lexington, SC and work in the Environmental field. I have had a few Garmins and other GPS's but am now using a Garmin c330.

I'll be asking lots of questions in the future...

Thanks again for the cool site,
Jack

I have been playing around with POI files the last few days and I have a few random thoughts to share:

I have not been able to download it. is it in CSV format?

if it is, does anybody know how to convert it to .SPUD for MIO?

I have been searching how to do it? but was not successuful.

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.

5thumbs

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.
