My nivi 750 will not read more than 90 poi's can some one help

Anyone tried to upload routes to a Kenwood nav system? (Has Garmin GPS)

I installed the Kenwood DNX-6140 nav unit in my wife's Camry. I added a USB extension cable from the unit to the glovebox. I have uploaded POI's and waypoints with no problems using poiloader and mapsource.

I am not a newbie. I have downloaded custom POIs successfully to my 750 and to my new 3490 in the past but I am having trouble now. The data gets downloaded but ALL of the individual poi's show up and NOT the categories. For example if I download Diners Drive ins and Dives, every single restaurant is in my Custom POI folder but not the category of "Diners Drive ins and Dives"

I am now terribly confused over the Nuvi 50 I just bought. Things were going fine, but honestly getting information took me most of the weekend..

I downloaded POIs and loaded them with POI Loader. None of them worked while I was driving around. Found the "manual" mode to put in proximity info and that will hopefully work.

Not sure if that ends the Lightsquared threat to the GPS frequencies or the move's consequence will be to force regulatory/political hands.

Opinions?

Webupdater just showed me the new update but not MyGarmin.

Changes made from version 6.30 to 6.40:
Improved map and content transfer speeds.
Improved software stability

Lets see what this update screws up.

As you know, using myDashboard to update your GPS has always been a bit of a crap shoot because all you ever saw was that there were "Updates Available". I'm happy to see that myDashboard has been updated so that, like Webupdater you can pick and choose exactly what you what to update.

First of all, i use my gps for hiking and trekking. A gentleman on another forum has created a massive set of POI along a trail that im planning to do later this year. Here you can find his csv file. http://db.tt/qqCnA7qK

When will garmin update their maps?

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had done any research on how extensive the POIs are in the 3590 compared to some of the POIs located on this site. i.e. 3590 has restaurants and gas stations, but how about specific restaurants like crackerbarrel or Costco or Sams? Or another question might be how do I find out what the installed POIs are on the 3590? Thanks

Ok I'm using a Mac but the garmin software doesn't recognize the sd card in my 1490. I've tried figuring out how to format it but the mac sees it but in the nuvi the garmin software doesn't. I don't have room to install the whole file so i need to put Canada on the sd. Help needed?

Garmin's Jill New Voice Version 3.0 is out.

I lost some files and now my GPS doesn't work. ie:when I go to a POI it says no streets nearby. Also in Tools/settings/maps: the Map info block is blank.

When I updated my NUVI 680 to 2013-10 I did not have an SD card installed. Base memory was too small to install North America or US and Canada, so I installed the lower 49 states. I went out and bought a 4g sd card and installed it. Now when I try Lifetime updater I can't get back to North America's data base. How do I reset Lifetime updater??

How many different types of Garmin Vehicle Suction Cups are there? The reason I ask is a few days ago I had a vehicle suction cup that probably came with a Garminfone or Nuvifone. I tried attaching my Garmin Nuvi 350, but it didn't seem long enough. So, I found that the one that belongs to the Garmin Nuvi 350 actually adjustable.

For the last couple of weeks, my 855 has been taking an inordinate amount of time to find satellites, sometimes a couple of minutes.

Comments?

After the update earlier this week, I had 92.7Mb free.... Garmin Nuvi 660.
SD Card is used for music...

I've already removed most voices, and pictures, music, but still have a couple I could remove... as well as Icons... Once I get it down to minimum, other than trimming back excess POI's... I think that's it...

My first GPS was a Street Pilot C330 and the car power cord attached to the mount.

When it fell off the windshield one too many times and didn't come back to life, I hurried out and bought my current Nuvi 1390. Its power cord plugs into the mini-USB jack.

I just helped a friend learn the basics of her 2350 and I see that it's powered (once again) through the mount.
