Sitting around the other night playing with my new GPS unit and I mentioned out loud that maybe I should enter in dealer locations. My wife thought that Dunkin Donut locations would be better. Seems like we hit both whenever we are out and about.

 

I would think both are important...need to know where the dealer is for a couple of reasons...

if bike should need repairs
if you're a t-shirt collector and haven't been to that shop yet
if you need more chrome

and Dunkin Donuts for
1. Coffee
2. Food
3. Cops...in case you get harrassed by a cager and need tag run...
4. Place to wait while bike is repaired...


Just my .02

 

Funny, I actually have Dunkin Donuts, Dealers and Krispy Kreme's for my GPS. Krispy Kremes donuts blow the doors off Dunkin Donuts, but DD's coffee blows the doors off Krispy Kreme's coffee.

 

In round rock texas there is a Krispy creme by Hooters, You get tore up in Hooters and walk to Krispy creme have a few doughnuts and burn a couple of hours. Wa-laa you are good to go. I think the Harley dealer was across town. I am Off subject. Hmm _________ I exit now

 

I cannot get HD dealers to show up on my Garmin.

 

If your unit has a sufficient number of Points Of Interest (i.e 6 million and up to 12 million) there shouldn't be a need to add the donut shops. If it is a TomTom unit they can be updated with new POIs whenever you sync with your computer. Ihad to enter the Local HD shops in myarea on my GO720, and add everything on my Mio-Tech C220 (only 1 million POIs).

 

I added the dealers to my Garmin, but don't you need the Police version to get Dunkin Donuts?

Both! They're equally important!

porterjet: The police model isn't necessary, but it IS easier. It comes "pre-loaded" with DD locations.

 

Hey! watch it....I resemble that comment! err, I mean resent
