How to create Nuvi 350 Rest Area alerts to work along route in travel direction?

Is there a way to create Nuvi 350 Rest Area POI alerts to trigger only for a Rest Area that is along your route in the direction of travel on a divided highway? I don't want an alert for the Rest Area on the other side of a divided highway (i.e., an interstate highway with both a North and South Rest area).

The ROUTE keeps coming back!

I have a really weird problem with my 560LMT, not directly related to POI's, please bear with me. I'm really frustrated.

One particular route that I built, used, and discarded months ago, keeps coming back! I've deleted it multiple times, even done a complete reset, and it just keeps coming back.

It isn't in BaseCamp -- which I don't really like anyway.

JCV file for City Navigator North America NT 2012.40

Hello. Which JCV file do I need to download? I have nuvi 40, which does junction view as a split screen. Thanks

Naming my sdhc card/file

I recently added a sdhc 4G (format FAT 32) to my nuvi 260W. Initially the drive appeared on my Macbook Pro as "no name." What should I do to configure it for use the next time I download maps? Then, how do I do it?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

nuvi 7x0 v5.30 released (Feb 29, 2012)

No mention made of added support for a secondary mapset on the SD Card as was reported with the previous (pulled) v5.20. Maybe they forgot. I'm staying away since v4.90 works fine for me.

Helping Friend

I am new to POI and downloaded several POI files for my Nuvi 350. I told my friend in Kerrville TX about POI and he had trouble downloading the files. Problem was at his end and turns out to be a mac computer set up and bad USB to Garmin cable. He is working on it, but I had the opportunity to show him the Walmart, Flying J, Campgrounds, Costco and Rest Area POI's.

How to locate "nearest" POI

I have a Garmin Nuvi 50.

I have loaded POI databases such as the wifi one and the B of A one. When I drive around, it will show me the icon of those respective POI's as I loaded those as well.

Suppose I was somewhere unfamiliar and I wanted to locate the "closest" B of A branch or Wifi spot and wanted directions to that place. How would I accomplish that?

Internal Memory on C530

Can't update my maps on a C530. Keeps telling me here's not enough space. I'm trying just Canada and Boardering states. Any ideas?

How does Traffic sponsored ads work on the Garmin 2360LMT?

Saw a good deal and thinking about getting a 2360LMT and see some reviews that talk about the traffic sponsored ads - they mention the ads pop up in the middle of the screen during navigation - is that the case?

I have a 765T now and I only see adds when I stop and they only appear in the upper portion of the screen. Did Garmin change the way the ads appear now?

How do I convert a .csv file to a .txt file in Windows 7

Under Windows Vista, I could change a file from a .csv format to a .txt format merely by renaming the suffix. Piece o' cake.
I now have Windows 7 and to make the same change I have to open a DOS window and issue the following kind of command:

Palomar Christian Conference Center

I would like to know if anyone in the group has a route to the Palomar Christian Conference Center (San Diego county, California). I have basic directions they have posted online, just checking to see if anyone has a route.

Guides for creating vehicles? (.srf)

I'm looking for a 4-door C230 Vehicle graphic for my Garmin.

Are there any guides out there for creating this yourself? Otherwise, does anyone know where I could find that .srf file?

Thanks!

POI Download (thanks)

I am a new member who just downloaded Harley Dealers POI and wanted to take time to thank the member who put the time in to set this up. I do not know if you are allowed to use names but will watch posts to tell him later. RICH

Purchased Maps

I purchased an update for my 255W last May and was checking on my dashboard and it shows it will expire this May 1st.

Does this mean I could still download a copy of it and save it on my pc in case of something happening to my garmin?

Free of charge I hope.

How to test Alerts on Nuvi 350

Is there a way to run a route on the Nuvi 350 to see if POI alerts are working before getting on the road? I have loaded them before trips only to find out on the trip that they aren't working.

I know there is a simulate mode, but is a POI alert triggered just as it would be in the Navigate mode?
