What downloads, upgrades do you have on your GPS?

That's an awesome idea. I'm going to edit my splash screen too with my contact info. I also have tons of vehicles but I installed mine directly to the unit. I have so many POI on mine. What's the voice maximizer?

Its the voice file that a poi memeber went through each file and boosted the sound on each stream file. The voice is loud enough to be heard on a mortorcyle if you have your gps unit attached to it.

I would like to download that. Can you please attach the link for it. That would be great cause I drive with the windows down in the car and cant hear the GPS for nothing.

once your in the FAQ, Find "tools link" and you will find a lot of fun tools to use!

It's easier with GUI.

I emailed you to see if you can walk me through the non-tts voice editor wizard.

vehicles, backgrounds, bunch of custom POIs.

However, I never really did play with the file.. never made time to do it. keep saying that I was going to someday. Sorry. Maybe someone else can be more helpful in this.

Custom splash screen and vehicle icon, POIs which I update (usually every 2 weeks). When it comes to firmware updates, I like to let others ride the bleeding edge, waiting a week or so before I install them, unless there's a bug fix for something that has bitten me personally...

I'm the same, I love downloading new POIs every week as well.

Do you plan on playing around with the voice files for the c530?

I love the red light/speed camera POIs. I also have the "Blues Brothers" shooting locations.

never knew about BB locations.

POIs, Customized Jill, and Vehicles. POIs are mostly Motor Coach related.

Last upgrade was the 2010 map to Nuvi

Nuvi360

Well this sounds like a winner. I have a motorcycle and the voice maximizer sounds like what I might need, How do I get it?

POIs, modified Karen, splash screen (Karen Jacobsen), the vehicle (3D arrow).

I was waiting for next year for the newer maps....

2008 maps, a few vehicles, and the traffic POI's. Keep it simple, I say...

I modified the voices with turbocc's program, added dozens of poi categories including speed cams and red light cams. Added customized vehicles to resemble my vehicle and new splash screens,

I customized the gps mount by hiding the ac adapter behind the dashboard and linked directly to a switchable fuse link in the fuse box (auto on/off).

That's a modification I never thought about.

Hey All ...

I am pretty new to all this GPS/POI stuff. I do have the Nuvi 760 and love it. I have since downloaded a few Vehicles. I am currently rocking the "Marley". I've downloaded the Dunkin Donuts, Triple D, and SUM Network ATM Locations.

But Reading this ... brings up a few questions for me.
1 - What is a "Splash Screen"?? And how do I use it.
2 - How do I get the Icons that corrispond to the POI Files to pop up on my screen? It gives me a checkered flag at my final destination, but Not the downloaded Icon??
(You may email/PM me this info, so I don't Hijack this thread)

Thanks in advance !!!!

I did the same thing. I put in an inline fuse, and jumped it off of the Fuse Box. That way the Cigarette lighter plug from the GPS is connected under the dash and out of the way. Looks like a permanent install. But then I can also remove it quickly and install temporarily in another vehicle.

Did this in a 2004 Silverado P/U.

Custom vehicle (my Yukon), Custom Home icon (my house), pois, Tripmaster, Screenshot & Tomplayer.

The house icon sounds unique. love it. might try it myself is i have the guts.

My GPS has been customized in using a favorite digital photo as a splash screen. A vehicle icon which closely matches my P/U has been installed. I routinely travel a 360 mile route. I have a custom POI file for this route which is continually expanding and being tweeked. Numerous files from The POI Factory are kept updated and utilized.

I added the 2008 map, a few vehicles, and the traffic POI's, plus other POI's from this site.

I also update the software after all you try it for a few weeks, no sense on messing my system up, lol.

Updated bluetooth software on my GPS. With stock version unit loses connection to my blackberry all the time. The new version seems fixed the problem.

This really makes me want to upgrade from my SP 7200. Not so many customizations that I get. I'm feeling so left out.

I wish I have the tech skill to do some of these.
Long way ahead of me.

I hook the AC line thru the AC vents (behind the ProClip gps mount) and hidden behind the dashboard. So no hanging ac line draped across the dashboard.

Less flexibility with the ac power adapter but it sure looks clean!

My favorite custom feature so far is the Millennium Falcon vehicle.

It's alot easier then you think...

allbizz is right. Once you take the first step, it's all downhill from there (hmm....figuratively and literally).

Just ask questions, how else can we amuse ourselves here??

Do you have any pictures? Sounds like a clean setup

I detailed the installation on another forum. Here is the link. If you have any questions, you know where to reach me.

Splash screen with e-mail address and tons of POIs.

Hi, what and where are these free basemaps, and how do you install/create them?

I have alot of the POI downloaded and keep them updated as much as possible

Thanks. I will give a try.... always fear it will not work anymore if something get changed. Anything I should never touch?

NEVER EVER touch the black wire and the red wire at the same time!! (jk)

Just post questions, what do you want to do first?

I am glad I have something to begin with.
While I am trying to see where are black and red wires, Just realized I never receive these two wires when my GPSr was purchased. Now, this becomes a major problem that I have no way to secure my GPSr against vent which I keep hearing that is the best arrangement. Anyone has pictures of these two wires and how they are used?
