Harley Dealer POI Files
I have a Magellan Maestro 3200. The POI file from the factory has no HD Dealers in it at all. I doubt any do 'cept for the HD models.
Here's my favorite POI file for all Harley Dealers worldwide -> http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/t...TOPIC_ID=58075
What's yours?
For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, you can add data points to your GPS. Those data points are called POI's (points of interest). Here's what a POI does in a GPS device.
Let's say you are out traveling and on the highway. You're getting hungry. You're craving the bell. All you do is (pull over first) do a search for Taco Bells near your location in your GPS and it spits out the nearest ones for you and you can map directions on the fly.
Let's say you are on the road and broken down, like I was last year on my way back from Sturgis. You do the same search for HD Dealers and voila, you now know where the nearest one is.

RE: Harley Dealer POI Files
I have one that I grabbed off gpspassion and converted to TomTom if anyone wants. (HD dealers country-wide)
I don't have any way to host it at this point, but I am happy to email...
PM if interested

RE: Harley Dealer POI Files
since there are only so many versions of the Harley dealer POIs that can be created until they become redundant, here is a POI list to keep us busy:

and another POI, this one for ride routes:

It's not just for getting from point a->b. It's already made itself worthwhile by showing me other great backroads.
