Nuvi 250W Picture Viewer

 

Hi again everyone. new topic for all. I would like to delete the sample pic's on my Pic viewer. Is this possible? If so how would i go about removing them. I would like just my own Pic's on there if possible. Thanks in advance for your help. Bye for now.

Just delete them

Just delete the .jpg files in the JPG folder, then copy your own pics into the folder. I'd reduce them a bit in size first. If they are anything like mine, my camera saves them at about 1 mb each. What I put on the Nüvi is less than 1/10 of that, and they still look just fine on that small screen.

You also can put them on an SD card rather than loading them into the GPSr.

Pic Viewer

Im being stupid now, where do i find the .jpg folder.That's probably a dumb question but I am new at this as you can tell. LOL thanks again for your help in advance.

It's...

... in the drive named "Garmin". When you hook your GPSr to your PC, open windows Explorer. In the folder list (left pane), find the drive named Garmin. In Windows XP it will look something like Garmin (F:) Click that and on the right you should see a list in the right pane. One of those folders will be labeled JPG if your GPS is like mine. If not, open the folders you do find and at some point you should stumble across about a dozen .jpg files. Back them up first on your PC, then just delete any you don't want.

If that doesn't get yo there, or if your unit is too much different from mine, then I have to bow to someone else.

I don't get what the purpose

I don't get what the purpose of the picture viewer is.

So you have your gps in your car and you say "hey, want to see some pictures of mine"

I guess just another feature to add that will give them a reason to raise the price.

Is it needed???

No, not really, but they all seem to come with it any more. You won't see any increase in price for it, because it's already old hat. Even a GPSr like my very basic Nüvi 260 has it built in. I have a couple of photos loaded just to use for the splash screen.

It is probably aimed at business people who travel alot and want to keep photos of their loved ones with him. I use it for that purpose.

I also scan things that I want to keep with me at all times. For instance, I have a list of windsheilds to stay away from when renting a car (due to the reduction of radar signal and GPS signal). I can pull out my GPSr (instead of a laptop or something) and tell them that I don['t want that car because of the windshield.
