Recent RLC POIs Update (Feb 22, 2012)
I have not updated my RLC POIs since July 2011. I downloaded the most recent RLC (Feb 22, 2012) last night and found that some RLCs are missing in the area that I'm familiar with.
Here are 3 missing RLC locations that I am aware of:
Artesia Blvd and S Normandie Ave, Gardena, CA
S Western Ave and W 158th St, Gardena, CA
W Redondo Beach Blvd and S Normandie Blvd, Gardena, CA

GPS glitch may be cause of supposed “faster-than-light” neutrinos
http://blog.chron.com/sciguy/2012/02/gps-glitch-may-be-cause...
It appears that the faster-than-light neutrino results, announced last September by the OPERA collaboration in Italy, was due to a mistake after all. A bad connection between a GPS unit and a computer may be to blame.

Installing Addtional Maps - BaseCamp, MapSource, MapInstall
I'm confused concerning the most appropriate method for adding additional maps to an SD card since my Nuvi 650 is out-of-space. I successfully did a limited update for the east coast, but I am now looking into installing the rest of the US and Canada onto the SD card.
How to do this is covered in the following post:

My question goes beyond the post.

Lightsquared
is history, according to this article, they are now defunct.
Can't say I'm sorry but I am surprised, I really didn't think the FCC would stop them.

Don't throw away your....
It looks like the demise of stand-alone GPSs is a little premature. AT&T, T-Moble as well as others are starting to take action to reduce their network data loads.
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20120213/D9SSGLCO0.html
So don't throw away your old GPS just yet, it might end up being the only usable navigation device you have left.

Poi-Factory Smartphone App
As most of us are moving away from our desktop/laptop and using more and more smartphones/tablets, I'm wondering, if poi factory has anything in the works to create such an app?
Thank you,
