POI projects

 

Road construction

I don't know if this is something that could be put into a POI format, but are there any POI files for long term construction projects?

Alert on the right Turns

Hi, just recently bought a GArmin Nuvi 785T. Just want to know how will I put a notification/alert sound in my nuvi everytime I'm making the right turns or miss the turns as well. I found this feature in Magellan units. A ding-dong alert sounds everytime you make a turn. I am using mapsource as my editor and poiloader to upload the .gpx file into my Garmin.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Ahold (Stop and Shop/Giant/Martins Supermarkets)

672 Memorial Drive, Chicopee, MA 01021 413-593-1111
42.17628 -72.57663

Should be:
42°10'33.53"N
72°34'36.48"W

or it will require people from two directions to circle around

Bank Of America All Locations

BoA ATM - Memorial Drive - 638 Memorial Dr
42.17604 -72.57665

(This puts you at a STOP AND SHOP

Should really be:
42.17527 -72.5774

Alpine Coasters

I just read that a new Alpine Coaster will be opening soon in Duluth MN. I have heard of roller coasters and alpine slides before, but alpine coasters are new to me. In fact, I believe that this will only be the fifth one in the US. Would anybody here think this is a worthwhile POI file, or is it too small to be worthwhile?

AANR & TNS Clubs

Has anyone considered doing a POI of all AANR & TNS naturist/nudist clubs in the United states? We are members of AANR and would love to have this on our Garmin as we travel.

TourGuide question

I have a Garmin and I finally have the TourGuide working properly. I currently have a 700 series garmin not the one listed. Anyhow, is it possible to have a menu of different tourguides loaded on the sd card and choose only one that you want to run instead of all of them? To better explain, basically the Garmin will read all the files and all of the POIs on that file.

Ninety Nine Restaurant - USA

The Point listed as:
555 Memorial Drive, Chicopee, MA 01020
42°10'22.26"N
72°34'35.04"W

If you move the point to:
42°10'23.37"N
72°34'33.75"W

This will bring you directly to the enterence from three directions. At the current placement it required you to do a large circle from two directions.

Old Spaghetti Factory

The resturant in downtown Atlanta GA is closed.

Email sent.

Installing custom sounds for speed/redlight alerts

I found the right mp3 files I want to use for my alerts. Is there a easy way to download the sounds into my Garmin?

POI Factory updates

Have a question, when you download the latest update for cameras and speed alerts do you keep the older updates along withe the new?

Why no spaces in POI File Names?

I have noticed that most all POI file names have no spaces in the file name and many use the "-" or "_" characters where a space would be appropriate.

Most alway I rename the files to suit my taste and this normally involves introducing spaces into the name. I have not experienced any problems with POI loader loading them. I use a 765T.

Thanks

Also looking for waterfalls on vancouver island. Thanks

Chocolate lovers delights!

I would like to propose a new POI that deals with custom made chocolates. I know there are lots of candy stores but this POI should only be shops that make their own chocolate on site. I would ask that if you recommend a shop, that you submit the location in the format below.

Wendys POI problem

The Wendy's list as:
Wendy's-Chicopee,MA
42°10'44.76"N
72°34'38.03"W

This point is after the entrance on a one way street.

There are two entrances. If you use this one:
42°10'44.00"N
72°34'40.23"W

This allows you to enter from all directions.

CSV handling in POIEDIT

I have some problems with CSV and GPX files with POEDIT:

1) I tried to edit downloaded csv-files with MS-Excel and handle them afterwards with POEDIT. Eachtime I received error messages from POEDIT like "List index out of bounds (2)" and "3 to 3 values expected on line 0". This even happened when I only opened a file with Excel and saved it again.

1 10 ... 20 21 22 23
25 26 27 28 ... 30 40 72
