Welcome / open talk

I regularly receive an incorrect password message when logging in after being away for 4-5 days. It is easily corrected with the forgotten PW link to my email but takes a couple more steps.

Does anyone else have this problem?

This week we're recognizing, Mahoney!

This weekend marks the beginning of the summer travel season and our Rest Areas with Restrooms and Rest Areas Combined-USA files start "trending".
They are definitely a life saver for those of us who have to travel for hours on highways with few towns!

I have been using my old Sony Dream Machine AM/FM/TV/Weatherband clock radio for years now. When I bought it years ago, I liked having the ability to receive TV audio. That was before digital (ATSC) TV, so that is no longer an option. Anyway, I like how it works, EXCEPT that it does not keep great time. That has prompted me to start looking for a suitable replacement.

I can't understand why Garmin has done this, Google too.

I create routes in an online program called RV Trip Wizard. I export the route as a .GPX file and import it into Base Camp. Base camp accepts the route as a track exactly as I created it in RV Trip Wizard. I convert the track to a route and send it to my Garmin RV 660 GPS. So far so good.

I just recently received the Windows 10 version 1803 update. For those who have not or reviewed the changes. Information can be found here at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/planning...

I'm trying to use the Rest stops POI file with Google Maps. When I try to download the rest stops POI file into a new layer in Google Maps I get a failed to download message that states: "The column names cannot be larger than 64 characters or include these characters: *<>{} "

Does anybody have a fix for this?

Thanks, Tim

This week we're recognizing, Sussamb!

While Sussamb has been a part of the greater POI/GPS community for a long, he's been with POI Factory for about 4 years.

He's a regular in our discussion forums, offering lots of tips and helpful suggestions. Just last week he provided insight to several conversations including;

If you shelled out $3,000 to $4,500 for a Surface Studio, you may be a bit disconcerted to discover that many don’t work with the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, version 1803. Mice and keyboards keep disconnecting.

{can you say SaaS?}

Microsoft has bundled together Windows 10, Office 365 and a variety of management tools to create its newest subscription suite, Microsoft 365 (M365). Here's what the bundle includes, how much it costs and what it means for the software developer's future.

This looks like an ad.

It's got a small test in it and the webcast is somewhat interesting.

On average, 60% of Network traffic is unidentifiable by network firewalls*. Which means ransomware, advanced threats, and active adversaries are happily entering your network. Why? Because every firewall on the market uses application signatures to identify traffic passing through the firewall.

Lots of little Microsoft patches, but nothing for this month’s big bugs — and no Previews

The third Tuesday of the month brought a handful of fixes, but nothing that addresses the Win10 1803 solid-state drive fiasco, or the network clobbering in Windows 7 — and there are no Monthly Rollup Previews.

Here's what you need to know about each security update to Windows 10 as they roll out from Microsoft. Now updated for the 1803 feature release.

This week we’re recognizing, BarneyBadass.

He’s been with POI Factory for over 7 years.

Many members have found his posts cross-linking to Tomshardware and Computerworld informative and helpful. His recent posts regarding the new Gmail in particular.

Thanks for your contribution to our POI Factory community!

Today I observed on City Line Ave. in Phila.

School bus stopped to pick up passengers, yellow lights, then red.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 cars simply went right by in the left lane.

The sixth car, stopped, with its front bumper lined up with the school bus.

I can't help but wonder if its ignorance, or totally wilful.

Because a red light bus conviction is a mandatory suspension in PA.
