255W Re-starts like it is connecting to a computer

I have a Nuvi 255W with firmware 7.5 and the latest maps for North America that I keep plugged in on my car. When I used to turn the car on, the GPS would turn on and loaded the maps fairly quickly. But now, when I turn the car on, the GPS is acting like it is first connecting to a computer, with the horizontal status bar progressing to the right.

Stolen Beanbag

My beanbag and cradle were recently stolen, rendering my nuvi 650 useless. I would like to buy a new unit that has a cradle that will also fit my 650(I use the MP3 player all the time). Anyone know of a backward compatible unit like that?

I've read some of the very old threads on the topic of calculation speed, none address the 2460 specifically.

Garnin Edge 800 - POI Loader

Has anybody here had any luck transferring custom POI's to a Garmin Edge 800? Using Garmin's POI Loader I'm getting a FileName.poi file loaded into the \Garmin\POI folder. The POI Loader returns a "successful" message with the correct number of files being transferred at completion, but I can't find any of the new POI's on the GPS unit.

BaseCamp Help and Information

I have asked questions for help on BaseCamp but they are in other post for BaseCamp and not always seen.

I am making this post as a place for help and information about BaseCamp.

I don't want to learn it but if Garmin stops supporting Mapsourse and uses BaseCamp it must be a better product.

If you have any questions or have any tips for BaseCamp please post them here.

Thanks Mary

My Trends on 2460

invalid csv (pilot truck stops)

I just downloaded the csv for pilot truck stops to put in my 2720. It keeps saying it is invalid file. I did some looking around and the other poi answers I found relate to gpi files and say to put it into the gps via windows explorer. This is not the case with the 2720 it does not show up in the explorer. Can some one look at the csv and find whats wrong? Thanks Dan.

Right Side vs Left Side Mixup

My 2460LMT seems to have become confused.

When reaching some destinations the NUVI is telling me the arrival point is on the left when it is actually on the right and visa versa. The same destination point was OK in the past. I am not sure what has happened. Anyone have same experience or any thoughts on how to correct? evil
