Hope you fill yours with lots of fun places to go and things to do.

Hope everyone here has a great new year! Let's hope to see some new developments with PND's as well. I'll try and report back any new findings from CES after I go next week.

Happy New Year's Eve!

I couldn't find a faq entry nor forum topic concerning what one should do to note that a collection is out of date. For example, DrWho_100 was kind enough to create astronomy collections for Clear Sky Clocks... which have since been renamed to Clear Sky Charts, and thousands more added. I don't know how to make an updated collection myself: I don't know where/how DrWho_100 got the data.

Google will translate for you.

Una feliz Navidad y un muy buen año nuevo a todos desde México.

Is there POI for A & W Restaurants in the US and Canada? If so where do I find it.

Looking at the 'dash cam video of the day', I have a question. I did a search and the subject seems old.
What is a good dash cam without costing an arm and a leg?
Do I need most of the bells and whistles. Suggestions?
Thanks

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.
