Someone told me you can get a Points of Interest (POI) for the Garmin StreetPilot i3 that alerts you if you are going faster than the speed limit of the area your in. I can't seem to find this though. Is it real and if so where can it be found? Thanks!

There are no POI databases to tell you if you're speeding.

There do exist POI databases for known speedcamera positions. These are mostly found in Europe and Australia, but some exist in the states, as well as red-light camera's.

I downloaded a POI to my Garmin. I don't know how to find it on the device. When I go to "points of interest" it's just the usual menu that asks me to spell the name of what I'm looking for or tells me where the nearest bank/gas station/etc

There is a option in the Where to? menu called Extra's. All points you load will show up here if properly transferred.

1. Click on "Where to?"
2. Click on "Extra's"
3. Select the point in your extra's

This is my blog about trading power for money. At first, it began as a study with my own blog now. One year (August 9, 2011, August 9, 2012), I promised to play with toys, I now have. However, it also identified borrow toys and play with friends or find creative ways to get new toys. Our goal will be to see how creative I can. From here, the development of barter blog. It just makes more sense as a trading power for money blog, because the final outcome, I want to happen is a boat, I think I end - not just any ship.Since I live in Los Angeles, and about two blocks from the water and a pier, it is very easy, I got a boat - the hard part will be acquired, I think - this is a trawlers. The best place I found is actually barter in Craigslist....

If you have plans for going on a trip that will take you to unfamiliar territory, you may want to consider looking at getting a Garmin 265WT GPS. It is very important to do your due diligence and research, narrowing down which GPS system not only has the best features, but the ones that you will utilize the most. The following is a quick overview of the Garmin 265WT GPS, its features, and the benefit of owning one. Regardless of whether you’re buying a GPS set up or any other auto transport quote related set up, it’s crucial that you focus on quality.

As with other devices like the GPS, your budget is always a concern. A great thing about these products is you will now find that your money will buy you a great deal. Before, great features such as Lifetime Traffic and Bluetooth integration were only available on pricey models but these features and many more are found on the Garmin 265WT. The suggested retail price of the 265WT is close to $200, but this is a little misleading, as it’s not hard to find a much lower price online. When Garmin releases new models and you shop around you should be able to find one for under $100. When compared with other portable GPS systems, that is a wonderful deal for the 265WT.
