POI Trouble Again

 

I have the 660. Some of my POI alerts work sometimes. Today I went right by one and nothing then just I then I was about 1/4 mile away and it went off and showed me the Icon. Then as I got right next to it , it stopped. Any ideas ?

What POIs were they ???

That is a possibility with the Rest Areas POIs because of the possibility of approaching a Rest area which is located in the other direction of travel
Just a thought !

Try this

When you pass the correct location make note of the Lat /Long position that's on your GPSr; when you can, check the POI data to see if the info matches. If it doesn't match then change the POI data to the new coordinates that you noted earlier and your problem should be solved.

The above goes for ANY brand/model of GPSr!

Hi Steve, Did you pass near

Hi Steve,

Did you pass near those POI before and were they working properly or it is the first time you pass near them and have a chance to check them???

I'm a little confused by the wording. It sounds like you went past a POI with no alert with no alert prior to reaching it. Then as you reached a point 1/4 mile past the POI, it began to alert and you turned around. Then it stopped alerting when you reached the POI? Could you explain again what the sequence was -- in detail? What is the POI? Was the icon that displayed in the proper spot? Were you on the same street all this time and is the POI right next to the street.

Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.

POI Trouble Again

I went past the POI with no alert at all. Then on my return trip I was about 1/4 away from it I received the alert and the Icon. I think I might have the wrong coordinates I will have to check again in the morning.
