Welcome / open talk

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!

You may even be able to get them to pay you $10 to take it using Google Checkout!

There is a website: www.mountguys.com that supplies GPS mounts for several popular units - Garmin - Magellan - etc. They also have mounts for motorcycles, boats, etc.
Check it out.
I have purchased a Garmin mount from them. It arrived in 6 days and works great.

is it possible to obtain the unlock code...I think I threw mine away.. any help will be much appreciated. thanks

Using Garmin's POI loader I'm able to load great POI off of this site, however, when I load my second POI it erases the first. How do I get more that one POI on the 350? Thanks, Jim, k4vw

Just wanted to say thanks to all who put the POI's together. Just picked up my Garmin 660 two days ago and didn't realize that I could customize the POIs. Thanks to you I have tons of POIs to keep my eyes on.

Can't wait to hit the road tomorrow to test out all the files I uploaded today.

Woot!

WOW! I was sent this today from a friend of mine in Canada who's working on part of the development. Not sure if you guys have seen this before but this is some really hot stuff.

We need to hire the Canadians that came up with this technology and move them to the US!!!

I've uploaded the video to my web site and you can access it at:

I have downloaded a program called POIEDIT which works on some of the files,but others will not open due to error's. example(Casino USA). Thanks for any help.

I have recently discovered that Ritz camera runs a photo contest that involves navigating to certain coordinates, solve a clue, then take a picture of the subject. I have been told that you can get the details at the ritz web site, however, after a search, I have not been able to find the details. Has anyone been involved in this?

I've started setting up a new section with model pages. We'll use them to organize FAQs, posts, and other model-specific information on the site.

I've started with newer Garmin models that work with POI Loader. Right now, the pages are pretty basic -- almost empty, actually. But I don't think it will take long for us to turn them into something more useful.

I was just informed that if the battery dies in your Nuvi, the power cord which comes with the 660 serves no purpose. Only connecting via USB will the unit charge itself and then be able to boot itself. On anyone's next trip, be sure to bring the USB connection also.. This is straight from Garmin's Tech Support

Can anyone tell me, which GPS unit screen can be adjusted to be seen best, in all lighting conditions. I understand some screens are not very visible in bright daylite, but can be too bright for nite driving?

I am looking for a web site that compared all of the Car Navigation GPS units, in all areas with photos. I would like to find this site if it is still in existence? I am looking to purchase a new GPS that is smaller than the laptop.

This week we are recognizing lsomonop and Robert660. Isomonop has been very active in the forums and Robert660 has been busy building and updating national park POI Files.
