Smartphones & Tablets

Does anyone know of a way to load the Redlight Cameras POI files on an Android Auto compatible smartphone map app e.g. Google Maps, Waze etc?

If so, pointers to the app and instructions on how to load the POI data would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello kind Gurus,
Just wondering if there's a way (besides using the supplied USB cable) to wirelessly transfer specific stills and videos from my DashCam 55 to my Android 7.0 smartphone, using the Android VIRB app? I would be interested in "Saved Photos" "Travelapse Vids" and "Saved Videos". For "on scene" evidenciary purposes.

I final switched over from Chrome to the Edge Browser. Once they got it so you can used it on your Android tablets and phones I made the change. Syncing across devices seem to be working well. Still not a lot of extensions available, but more then in the past. One problem found so far. Here on POI Factory when I post a link it is not highlighted.

I like small form factor smartphones. I already have an iPhone SE. I hope Apple will release a refresh in a similar for factor. I've also been wanting to transition to Android, but I can't find any premium end phones in a small form factor.

Any recommendations?

Hello All,

It's been quite a while since I've been active on POI Factory but I'm back again with a problem. Although I still use Garmin devices I have grown to love Waze, particularly for urban driving, as it seems to be really good at helping you to avoid traffic jams, accidents, and the local constabulary.

just released this morning. Downloaded with no issues on my iPhone 7.

Not happy with your vehicle Nav system? No problem

Just general bug fixes. I had read somewhere that Garmin was no longer supporting the app so I find this interesting

Just released. Requires restart of phone after downloading.

Really the only reason for me is to grab the 5% reward through 3/31. Last year, Discover was doing $5/transaction, max 10. That was kind of interesting, even if you paid $1.06, they gave you $5. Seems like the cc co's want to incent users to use their phones...

Can I possibly load poi's to my iPhone 7. I have the Garmin map installed to my iPhone

it's the full retail thing....seems like many colleagues have embraced the full retail thing. iPhone X sold out in 1 minute, and it's a $1149 phone? I cannot pay $800+ for a phone, per my conscience.

I was thinking that as nice as smartphone navigation is these days, it is also a hassle when you are navigating and need to use the smartphone for something else. Are there any devices currently that will allow you to "cast" your app to another display? That would allow the Google Maps display to be on the dash while the smartphone was doing something else.

Updated my 7+, iPad Pro,and my wife's 6S+ to 11.1 yesterday. Everything is working OK. Hope my battery life improves on my 7+.

There is probably already a thread for this, but I couldn't find one

I recently purchased a 2018 Hyundai santa fe sport. The salesman highly recommended the use of a smart phone in conjunction with GOOGLE maps for navigation (I didn't purchase the top of the line (ultimate package) which comes with a built in GARMIN-like turn by turn screen in the dash.

For all you Samsung Galaxy Tab A owners.I got a surprise last night with getting the 7.1.1 update. Was not expecting that since I had gotten a new operating system shortly after the original purchase. So be on the look out if you have the Tab A.

Is anyone using or have used Genius Maps app for your smart phone? There is a thread posted in 2014 linking to a CNET revue that was not very good. Looking for opinions since then. The reason I am asking is the 2018 Can Am Spyder has a display that works with your smart phone. It displays the app on the screen and you can control the app from the handlebar controls.

"In a series of tweets, Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore has revealed that the software giant is no longer developing new features or hardware for Windows 10 Mobile. While Windows Phone fans had hoped Microsoft would update the platform with new features, it’s now clear the operating system has been placed into servicing mode, with just bug fixes and security updates for existing users."
