Montana FIsh Distribution

Last year I found a POI file or overlay file that list the majority of Montan's lakes, streams, rivers, etc and list the types of fish in that body of water when you zoomed in over it. Not sure if it was on this site or another but need help finding it again. If anyone has come across it place contact me. One i had as for Montana only.

Need help with new Gander Mtn. in Charlottesville, VA

There's a new Gander Mtn. store opening in Charlottesville, VA, on Oct.15th. I want to add that store to my Gander POI file but I'm not sure of the coordinates. When preparing a new POI, I use Google Earth to locate a business's drive or other entrance from the street as its location, but unfortunately, GE still shows an empty field where the new GM is.

NYC announces Speed Cameras in use (mostly in school zones)

NYC announced this week that they are going to deploy approximately 20 speed cameras. Their intention is to put them into school zones.

(Personal Opinion) People shouldn't speed in school zones nor should they pass stopped school buses with the red lights flashing.

POI-Editor - Keeping Symbols when Converting gpx files to kml files

Does anyone know if there is a way to transfer the symbols that I have in my gpx files to a kml file that I create through POI-Editor. What I am trying to do is keep these symbols in my kml file so they will show up in an IPAD app - Avenza which allows the import of kml files and their symbols.

Giant Roadside Crosses

Use this thread for discussion related to the Giant Roadside Crosses POI file.

If you'd like to locate giant crosses using the internet, Google Earth and Google Maps, I've found that this is a very helpful search term for Google: "giant cross" located in

Subway POI file corrupt? (adding file deletes other POIs)

Has anyone suffered from the Subway POI file? If I load this on to my NUVI 2595, any existing POI information is gone. I normally have Dunkin Donuts and Rest-stops; adding the Subway file deletes all POI info. If I load the Subway by itself - after removing all other POI files - it does not work.
Thanks!

New POI - Passing Lanes - Any interest

On a recent trip, when I found myself behind motorhomes and other slow vehicles on 2-lane mountain roads, it occurred to me that we should have a POI file that shows the location of Passing Lanes.

Any interest in creating one?

Double Icons

I have a Nuvi 2597, Nuvi 2460, and a Zumo 550. I have noticed that when I upload a POI file to the Nuvi 2597 that it creates two icons in the same place, one just slightly below the other. This is not a problem with the other units that I have. I have removed the icons and files and have uploaded them numerous times and still the same results. Contact with Garmin was no help.

Nice Ride MN And Spotcycle

My family and I went on a bicycle ride yesterday and since I was the only one currently without a bicucle of my own, I decided to try the Nice Ride MN https://www.niceridemn.org/ Of course, being a GPS enthusiast, I wondered if they had an app for that.

Naming Standard for POI Files

May I suggest that all files that pertain to a particular state be named so that the state is the first word?

It would make is simpler to find them.

Grocery Outlet Chain Stores

I wouldn't mind seeing this grocery chain store as a POI.

Cenex Gas Stations

I am looking for a listing for Cenex Gas Stations

Extract MA boat launch data

Massachusetts has list of all the state maintained boat launches at: http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/dfg/fba/access-sites.html. It looks like it might be possible to extract the data from there to create a poi export. I don't have the chops to do this but I wonder if anyone else might be able to look at it and provide some guidance.
Would be a good addition to the boat launch project.

NYPD Precinct Locations

Just want to let everyone know that the NYPD file has been updated. The NEWEST NYPD precinct (121Pct) has now been added to the file. No phone info at this time!

POIs on Nuvi 2495

I previously owned a Nuvi 215 and had no difficulties with a large list of POIs. Now with the "New" 2495 all I have is cameras. What gives. I must say that the South African version of software far exceeds that you supply.

Very disappointed

One minute I am told to download v 2013.4 and then with Express my maps are up to date.What gives?

Creating MP3 or WAV files

To create TourGuides for a Garmin, you need a MP3 or WAV file for each POI entry.

If I could create, say, an Excel file with the Names of the desired WAV files, and the text for the WAV files as two columns (name, text), then run it through a Text to Speech program that would create the speech and name the resulting files the Name.wav for me, that would be a big help.
