Hello,
I have been a member for 10 years, but mostly lurking and using. I am wondering, how do I go about suggesting an addition to a POI?

For example, we found a great newer winery in Wisconsin and would like to suggest adding it to the Wisconsin Wineries POI.

Thanks,
-Lance

There have been a few threads on dashcams here so I thought I'd start one to post odd, interesting, or just plain stupid stuff you capture with one. Please feel free to contribute to this thread you videos.

Drivers who pass a stopped school bus with flashing red lights in Prince Edward Island will receive a three-month suspension of their driver's license and an additional fine of $5,000:

Any reason for me to trim the GPS files to include only the States and Provinces that I typically travel to. Just thinking of the storage space on my Tiguan GPS system.

What are other experiences ?

I have downloaded the CSV version of ‘’Campgrounds and RV Parks Combined’’ by TXRVer.

When I open it in Extra POI Editor, I see the camping names and address and when export it in GPX format then Import it in Basecamp, all I see is the camping name.

I must have something set to a wrong value but can’t find it.

This week we're recognizing John.jcb, soberbyker and bdhsfz6!

John.jcb started a thread sharing his experience with LED Traffic Lights in The Winter

Both Soberbyker and bdhsfz6 posted comments with links to videos which explained the topic a bit more.

We recently had a nice Fall blizzard here in the Midwest with around a foot of snow and high winds. The drifting and snow where it normally doesn't go was interesting but I saw one thing of concern.

This is the official POI Factory Joke thread.

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.

Time for me to shop for a new one. My old Fitbit Charge HR truly keeled over. I purchased it in 2015, so I figure that's pretty good for what it was.

I'm now looking at mostly Garmin's (ya think they'll give me a discount if I purchase online using my POI Factory email? JK).

This week we're recognizing, Jgermann!

John has been with us for nearly 9 years!

This week we're recognizing him for his quick offer of help to Mahoney with the Subway POI file update and his helpful response to a question about EPE.

Thanks for your continued quality contributions to the POI Factory community, John!

Happy Thanksgiving!!! May you give thanks for your bountiful blessings and remember those who are less fortunate.

This week we're recognizing, Mahoney, DonaldB530 and Ajasaro!

We're able to provide POI files free of charge to our members in part due to the countless hours of our volunteer POI file maintainers.
I thought it would be fitting to show our gratitude this week to three of our most prolific file maintainers, Mahoney, DonaldB530 and Ajasaro.

The in car power supply charger for my Garmin got a bit erratic. It would work for awhile and then cut out.

I tried plugging into two different cars and had no blue light and no power. Figured it couldn't be a fuse, because the operation was erratic. A fuse either works or it doesnt, right.
