Garmin Spyder Dealer List DONE!

[dave01]

All loaded up..Thanks for all of the work

[Firefly]

The dealer is First Coast in St. Augustine and it isn't anything you did, their address is not interpreted in Google the way it's written for the post office so Google takes a guess. It was off by over 30 miles but exactly where Google takes you when you input the street address.

I'll send the updated package of .gpx, .bmp and .gpi files to Lamont since you can't attach these file types to posts here.

Guess I'm confused....... Is the address correct and works in the Garmin? Not sure I'm understanding the 'google' connection. I'm not sure if google was used to Geocode these---- just can't remember right now.

Appears that we are either talking about a different dealer ---- or the address data was bad from BRP to begin with. There's bound to be some errors on the list--- figured we would try and update twice a year.

So the question is---- are these the same dealer? Did they move (twice)?? There is no move-update on file with the USPS for the "2630 US 1" address.

In the Garmin I show:

First Coast Can-am
2630 US 1 South
St. Augustine, FL 32086
904-797-8955

This is how it was listed in the BRP June 18th dealer list.

Looking online I found:

First Coast St. Augustine
200 State Road 16
St. Augustine, FL 32084


But then..... their website says they have moved to:

First Coast Honda has moved to our new location!
2000 North Ponce De Leon Blvd
St Augustine, FL 32084
904-829-6416

I assumed Google was used to geocode these but that may have been an incorrect assumption after looking at it again.

First Coast is a group of 2 dealerships owned by the same person. First Coast Suzuki is where the Can-Am's are sold and is on US1 South. First Coast Honda was on RT16 in the same town and has recently moved to the 2000 N. Ponce De Leon address (also US1, but North....). A Google maps search of First Coast Cam-Am will not yield a valid result, you need to search on First Coast Suzuki.

Here's the actual location using a search on First Coast Suzuki

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...=h&z=9&iwloc=A

Now, if you plug in the street address as published by BRP (which is correct, just formatted differently) you get the same location but with less accuracy.

For some reason the coordinates registered in your file were about 30 miles further south in a different town (actually in an unincorporated portion of US11).

Here's where the coordinates in the original file located the dealership.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...61,+-81.320801

It's perfectly understandable since FL has a really screwed up way of naming and numbering streets that seems to follow no logic what so ever. I'm amazed the mapping programs do it as well as they do.

Hope this clears it up. i can send you the updated file, just PM me your email.

I loaded this onto my Garmin zumo 660 and it works great!! Thanks! I just hope the updates were made to the spyderlovers download file before I got it today LOL. I loaded it into the 660 the same way as you said for the 550 and it works great. Now if the FedEx man will just show up with my Kewlmetal order I can get to work putting it on the bike! LOL.

Does this POI list included Spyder dealers in Canada?

Thanks.

[kentompkins]

I created a separate listing for Canada. It's available as a .gpx and .gpi file like the US listing is.

Hi there Ken, that is good news.

I went to the poi-factory site, but could only find the US spyder dealers. Do you have the file, perhaps you could email it to me?

thank you for your time.

[Jornie1]

You guys are tooooo good to be true...What a wealth of information. I used the link Lamont posted: http://www.spyderlovers.com/spyderdealersgarmin.gpi

From this link, downloaded it to my desktop, where it is handy. Open up "Computer" from the start button. Then open up the Garmin Zumo. In the Garmin folder find the POI folder. Now, just copy the file saved on your desktop and paste it into the POI folder in the Garmin.."Voila" ... No conversion necessary.

Thanks guys.. fantasmo!!! Len......Jornie1

Note: Checked with my dealer today and he has talked with BRP and says that delilveries are ontime.

katnapper,

Glad you resurrected this thread. Perfect timing with all the summer ryding going on.

One question for those who know...

Would this App work with a Droid?

Not too 'Puter literate and would love to have this information for future rydes.

Thanks!

I installed the initial file and the update that Ken made onto my Zumo 450 through a Mac. Like katnapper said, save the file to your computer then copy it to the Garmin in the appropriate spot. I think my Zumo had a specific folder for these types of files but I don't remember for sure and I'm not near the GPS to check it out.

[cdragut]

regards.
