Email me at steve@nmpcs.comdoes anyone have a bmw USA dealership loacation file and a way of loading it into a zumo 550?
Haven't had time to install the new POI yet. I'll try to get that done today.
That said, I want to note that the POI file I have is not accurate - at least in two dealerships. They're close - but in either case - not really close enough.
One is the dealer in Las Vegas, NV. The POI takes you to a shopping/office center on the south side of the street. Once in that parking area, you can't see much on the north side of the street. In fact, the BMW dealer is in similar shopping/office center on the north side. Additionally, when you enter the center, you see the parts/shop to the front and right of the entrance of the center. When I got there, there was no one there and a sign was on the door to go to the showroom. From the shop area - it's difficult to see that the showroom is all the way across the center and not very obvious. There is no phone number posted on the door at the parts/shop building. I got lucky and someone rode in that had an appointment for service. He was as lost as I was. However, he had their phone number and was able to call and find out how to find the showroom. I mentioned to the guys at the shop - who were great - that they needed to make sure people riding in that didn't know the shop - could find them or post a phone number on the door. The reply was they had a sign that said to come to the showroom. I told them the showroom wasn't that easy for a stranger to find. I don't think they understood. I was there to grab a headlight that blew out while I was on the road. They hooked me up and I headded back out - not having time to help them understand what they see - working there and knowing the area - is NOT what strangers see. Oh well. It is a nicely appointed shop and they good guys that helped get me in and out. Jsut wish they could understand the problem. Wither way - the GPS POI being wrong didn't help matters either.
The other is Sandia BMW in Albuquerque, NM. This one is really bad. Pan American Hwy is a north south that's divided by I25. The shop is on the west side of I25. The POI takes you to the east side [north]. I'd never been to that shop but have been south on I25 and recalled seeing the BMW Car dealer from the interstate - on the west side - South Pan American. After some riding around to find out how to actually get on Pan American south - no problem but I have some idea where I was headed since I live in NM and have been on I25 a number of times.
For me, that's two out of two that were wrong. I'll get the new file in the GPS and will be able to check them both out by lat/long and let yuou know how at least those two shake out.
