Back in 2004, we attended Life on Wheels, a week-long school for RVers. One of the best things we learned was about the Discovery Owners website and all the GPS data overlay files they made avaialble for programs like Streets and Trips. In case you’re unfamiliar, this data is called ‘Points of Interest’ or POI’s for short. The data file needs to have the name of the POI and the Latitude/Longitude coordinates. Then, when you load them into your program, they become markers on the map.
Our favorite file was a listing of all Passport America RV parks. We take advantage of the Passport America half-price deal whenever possible, so, having them show up on our Streets and Trips map that we use when we’re on the road is extremely handy.

Help a Child this Christmas
Those of you that are familiar with my column know that I typically write about suspension, handling and braking issues that affect all types of RVs. I’m committed to helping RV owners experience safer and happier driving, and I’m always looking for new ways that I can help. But it’s at this time of year that I think about something else that I’m committed to: helping children around the world that are less fortunate than ourselves.
