i just found out all the new garmin's have the POI lists with proximity alerts
gonna go grab an el-cheapo garmin this weekend

 

I'm sure this has been asked before but .... can they impose the speed limits on onramps and offramps? You know, the yellow speed limit signs.

 

nope..but i'd keep it under 100 since that's the speed limit anyhow.
u'd be surprised at the kind of speeds a 911 will take those ramps at when the pavement is nice and sticky

 

Cawthra Road in Mississauga. I wouldn't exactly call it a cash cow as speed really needs to be kept down but that road is good for fixed radar at least in one spot or patrol almost always. A sure bet is southbound just under Dundas. It is downhill and posted at 50. Its got to be like catching fish in a barrel.

 

Check out radioworld on Steeles Ave W, just east of the 400 on the south side. They sell the Garmin Nuvi 250w for around $299 ... this one is a wide screen and will work off the internal battery for up to 5 hours. This is the best bang for the buck. We used it in Vegas last week ... worked great in the rental.

 

best buy has em all on sale...el cheapo pricing for the win! i can grab an extra unit for the mom and score some good son points too (do those cancel out my satan bastard child points by any chance?)

 

Radioworld is still cheaper than the others ... check out their site first!!!

When I was down in Vegas earlier this week ... the "Merican price was the same as ours ... and in a few cases more!!! Seems we are getting a better price up here.

 

btw..if you want to really ball out like burt reynolds..u'll need to do what KVP did on 6speedonline - greatest porsche install in the history of the universe:

(first link on that page)

requires a login - 2 sec registration. Essentially it's a Google Map mash up that plots speed traps in Toronto - you can also download the data to your gps.

 

Evans Ave. west of Kipling by the TTC yard.

 

How did you load it to your Garmin?

Can you list some basic instructions?

So far,
1-I've downloaded the zip file
2-Plugged in the Nuvi...
3-help

1. Get the POI Loader from Garmin http://www8.garmin.com/support/colle...t=010-00540-00

2. Load the two .gpx files via the POI Loader (don't need those .csv)
