Installing POI's Concerns (icons and alerts)

I have followed install procedures for installing POI's to the Zumo 660. I am downloading putting reaming the .bmp and the mp3 to match the .gpx or .cvs and then running the poi installer says it updated. I see the custom POI's on the gps. If I just have the map view on and pass like a shell station the icon does not appear or the alert does not work.

How To (CSV columns 3 & 4)

Questions about POI CSV files for Garmin. I'd like to start making my own POI files and in looking at an existing one I see how it's layed out. My only question is what is the last column for where you have things like LHxxxx?

RC Flying Airfields

I happened across an entry for this POI File (and don't know the proper procedure for submitting updates.)

Found it pedaling my bicycle (mile 9 of an 18 mile ride) and went back later with the gps to get the data.

-121.65085, 39.50304, Oroville Air Corps Flying Site

N.B. I downloaded the POI file first to make sure this was a new entry.

Botanical POI additions

There are two in Reno not in Dan's list: (http://www.unr.edu/arboretum/) The UNR state arboretum (39.53742, -119.81441) which is a collection of gardens on campus, and the (http://www.washoecounty.us/parks/arboretum/arbor.html) Wilbur May Arboretum (39.546231, -119.825704) at the http://www.washoecounty.us/parks/rsrp.htm Rancho San Rafael Regional Park

Windmills, the kind that turn by the wind...

Report any Windmills in your travel, and we're talking about the (Dutch or Holland) kind, not the newest turbine windmills used for electricity generation. However, I guess we could always start one for those as they're call Wind Farms!

I grew up near this one, located between Batavia/Geneva Illinois at Fayban Park Forest Preserve.

Tanks for Locomotives

Sorry. Bad pun.

I'm in possession of my first GPS and am enjoying the resources to be found here.

Next month I leave on my 4th annual, post-retirement, epic motorcycle journey. (41,000 miles the last 3 summers.)

I will be adding to the inventories of Locomotives and creating (the first?) inventory of Military vehicles.

Knight of Columbus Councils

Thinking about putting together a POI file for KofC councils, starting with Maryland and expanding beyond that as I have time.

Alcoholics Anonymous

Hi all!

I just uploaded 'AA Regional Intergroup and Central Offices' and would love feedback, any comments at all.

I'm a recovering alcoholic with 20yr sobriety, and noticed there was no reference to alcoholism when I first joined POI factory a few yr ago.

Catholic Churches in Colorado

Does anyone have a POI list of Catholic Churches in Colorado?

Texas speed traps

I just returned from a Texas vacation. I traveled through Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. There are o many speed traps in Oklahoma and Texas, If it weren't for the "Teaxa Speed Trap" POI, my vacation would have been ruined. When I was notified, that I was "driving in a speed enforcement area" there was a traffic cop there in more than 50% of the time. It was amazing.

Hotels in the Big easy

Hiya all,
this is my first post here first off, secondly I just got my garmin nuvi 265wt for a few trips I am planning on taking this year. I been living in Hawaii the last 11 years of my live, never really had need of gps as I didn't own a car there and honestly mapquest and google maps let me get my way around on the The Bus there with out any issues.

How to make additions or corrections to site-maintained POI files?

Other than the red light and speed cameras, how (or to whom) does one make suggestions for additions (or corrections) to POI files where the submitter is listed as "poi factory?" Since there is no "Contact" link for that account, should it be via public post? The site contact link? Private message to Miss Poi? What's the proper protocol?

Thanks.

A GPS can take you where You want to go but never where you WANT to be.

Red Robin

I tried to see how to contact 'mcmargarine' with an update for Red Robin locations, but could not see how. There are several new locations listed for Florida that are not in the POI File. This is one of them that I calculated...

-81.03722 29.10989 RedRobin 5537 S. Williamson Blvd. Port Orange, FL 32128

Super 8 Hotel/Motel New Location

The following location is officially opened now. Please add it to the POI File.

I also read Miss POI note and looked at the POI file that there is no phone numbers and address on it. I wish I have enough time & efforts to help.

Where would I find National Forest data for campgrounds?

I know that there is a site that has csv files but they have all the state cg etc... included.
I want to put together a file of just the NF campsites.
I went on the us forest site and there is a section on gps usage but I couldn't find any data that was already tabulated.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I am new here and I do not know how to contact the submitter of a POI file. The name of the submitter is Dave817. The correct location of the dealership in Brandon Florida is -82.34002, 27.94390.
Please inform me of the proper way to do this. This service is so valuable I want o be a positive user and not a negative one.
Thanks
