Welcome / open talk

Has anybody here seen any great Black Friday or Cyber Monday GPS deals?

I think we should just have dash cams always rolling and then don't think about them. Today, maybe it's late Nov., raining, and windy. But everyone was angry driving in parking lots, 100% straight goods, for no reason. I saw a woman throw up her arms at the gym, I guess because she was backing out and another woman went to her car parked next to her?

This week we're recognizing, Alleghany!

Alleghany has been a member of POI Factory for nearly 13 years!

This week he updated his PA Cemeteries files adding 21 new ones and changing or adding some Also Known As. I'm often intrigued when something relatively stationary, like a cemetery, has multiple names.

Thanks for continuing to keep us up-to-date on the cemetery files!

Just a heads up that the Fall update for Windows 10 is now available.

Unlike the previous ones, this one installed fairly quickly.

Garmin Express v16.19.2.0 is out and ready to install. No problems on my Windows 10 system. Remember to uncheck the background mode if you do not want it running all the time.

Happy Veterans Day to all of my fellow Vets. Thanks to all who have served, whether you served in the Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, or Army. (And, for the WWII crowd, the Merchant Marines.) We have served a great country; let us never forget the ones who served before us, the ones serving now, and the ones that will serve in the future.

This week we're recognizing, Dobs108!

Dobs108 has been with POI Factory for a decade!

We're recognizing him this week for his helpful and polite response to another community members question about, Creating A Google Base Map Map Based On A POI File.

Thanks for your continued contributions to our POI Factory community, Dobs108!

Thank you, Veterans!

I am truly appreciative for what you all have done to ensure the freedoms I enjoy today. A heart felt thank you goes out to you all.

Every now and then my Alexa tells a really stupid joke that's so bad you just want to unplug the unit. As an example today she told this Thanksgiving utterance (I can't call it a joke):

"Why did the cranberry sauce cross the road? To get another side."

Has your digital assistant told you a real stinker? Post them here.

Just before "Loading Up" we had "Mail Call", Cordell Spencer, 3 Cots down in our GP Medium Home, received a letter and Picture of his Newborn Baby. He was the most decent, very Religious Man I have ever known, never took Pass to go into Bien HOA with us, he stayed in Hootch and read his Bible. He had been Transferred to "C" Company for this Mission, I was with "A" company.

Couple days ago I powered up my Video Editing system (2007 vintage Supermicro Server that is OLD, EOL, but still does the heavy lifting of SD/HD Video Editing and DVD/BR Authoring here)......

And when I powered it up this time.... Bios Reset itself, scrambling Drives, wouldn't get past Bios to Boot, Date, Time, Etc. Etc. Etc...

Battery Backup had failed....

This week we're recognizing, Mcginkleschmidt!

Once again he's provided a link for the Large JCV file for the new map update.
We have many members who need and appreciate that.

Thanks, Mcginkleschmidt, for your contribution to our, community!

Wasn't sure where to post this, so thought it best here where many might look.

dave817 (dave726 in other forums) is the gentleman who, for many years, kept the US & Canada H-D Dealers list updated on POI-Factory (he did both the HD dealers and the Diners, Drive-ins and Dives lists on the previous US based zumoforums.com then on the UK based www.zumouserforums.co.uk after zumofourms shut down)

I was thinking about it, it generates people adding seemingly useless comments every week to keep the above alive.

At the same time, is it patterned after A1C like when the doctor is checking for glucose?

It does strike me as quite odd.

In danger of losing your windmill?

Maybe you can share the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you used it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.).

Anything to keep your windmill alive.
