Sunshine-----you're a man (or girl) after my own heart. I think that you
hit the nail on the head. As you noted, POI's are available all over the
place--one good source is at
http://www.poi-factory.com/
Absolutely nothing wrong with using any of these files to supplement what is
already factory loaded in your unit. In my case I loaded the POI files
containing all "AAA offices and Toyota Dealers" in the country into my
Unit. In fact, Garmin supports this activity by providing the means ((POI
Uploaded software) to upload these POI's into your unit. Some people try so
hard to be self righteous that they can't see the forest because of the
trees. It's the "mouth in gear and brain in neutral" syndrome.
Per Andrew's mind set--apparently it was wrong--stealing, infringement--you
name it--- when I replaced my battery with a non OEM part purchased at
another vendor rather than getting hosed by Garmin ( Wal-Mart/Target
example). Would he pay the $79 (and get gouged), buy another unit instead
(almost halfway there anyway) or go the $20 route and buy a replacement and
install it himself? Please enlighten us Andrew.
