named, "Tight wad".

Hi Mike,

The contest would be a lot of fun.  There could be several categories.  For
example, funny names, neat travel destinations, cool markets,  good
restaurant categories, etc.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] unique and interesting points of interest

I keep a route file where I copy odd points of interest I come 
across. For example, a septic company called Sweet Pea Septic or a 
high end fashion shop called Filthy Gorgeous.

I used to have lots but accidentally deleted that file.

If you wish to have a route file dedicated to a theme like this or 
perhaps for another reason, here is how you do it. I had one 
containing favorite Mexican restaurants.

In this case, the route file has nothing to do with a route. The 
distances and order of points is pretty much irrelevant.

Create or open a route and name it. Then, as you come across points 
of interest you would like to copy to this file, press letters RMP. 
You will be prompted for a few things, which you should answer. 
Again, although this is called a Route file, you are using it kind of 
like a favorites file of points of interest. One of these days, we 
will have a more elegant way of handling favorites or POI themes but 
this is a nice work around for the moment.

Oh yes, then there was a towing company called Tic Tac Towing.

There are also lots of unusual town names out there too.


Maybe we should have a contest on this topic.

Mike
