I think we all just need to calm down a little bit. Many of you are upset and thats understanderble.
What we need right now is a bit of an explanation from the pocketGps team. Without their input, the posts in this thread will just carry on repeating themselves.

Ok, if the site needs an alternative revenue stream why target the users, instead target the suppliers.

Like many, I think this site is an invaluable source of information, I feel it is providing a free support service for TomTom, Garmin & Navman etc. Their support services are so poor that users have no alternate to use sites like this.

PocketGPS are providing a free support & marketing service for the many suppliers, target them not their users.....

Just to let you know that the team are monitoring the forums and noting the feedback.

So they did a poll at the GPS Meet.

Should they not have posted a poll on the site and had input from EVERYONE who visits instead of the small percentage of members who could make it to Basingstoke ?

Gutted Sad

Hi Guys, I don't think this topic should be locked and brushed under the carpet ! I think the members of this site are entitled to "voice" their opinions. The more members who comment (either for or against) will give the PGPSW team an idea of the strength of feeling over this suggestion (if it is a suggestion and not already a reality). Locking a topic somehow feels akin to "Censorship" to me. I realise a lot of the posts are very similar in theme but you should be able to have your say.

Now for "my" say, I don't agree with this at all, and i'm not sorry for feeling this way one little bit, I will not be paying for a download consisting of data I have supplied and tested and updated, for free. I will not pay to be a "member" of these forums, they are so good because all types of people have access to them, giving a large spread of experience.

There have been lots of phrases posted to describe whats happening here, i think my one would be "Don't bite the hand that feeds you". You would do well to remember WE provide your database, without OUR input it will be largely pointless.

With all the post re this thread it a pity the guys who run it our not really replying.
"POWER TO THE PEOPLE"
May be we could just bring the site down if we do not get some joy!
Attitude stinks guys, get something sorted.
If you have made your mind up and disregard all who are shocked by your actions. Just crawl out and let us know! :D
Then we know what you really think of people who nave put in effort for free!
