Garmin talk

At 1030 CDT the first of eight In-n-Out Burger restaurants will open in the Dallas-Ft Worth area. From all the news coverage, it will be the start of the chain's move into the Texas market. Guess they figured out Texans love burgers especially fresh made ones.

Just updated my Garmin 780 maps from City Navigator North America NT 2009 to North America NT 2011.40. Is there a way to determine rather anything changed or not. I would think I would see something new in two years but so far I have not found anything different. It still shows a restaurant across the street that has been out of business for over a year.

Can track logs from the Garmin 200W be imported into either Google Earth or MapSource? In the former only Waypoints are showing and I need Date, Time, Speed, etc., for a given point.

Many thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm travelling in the Dover/Portsmouth NH area this week and noticed something odd with my Nuvi 350.

Using the following origin/destination info:

Origin: 121 Technology Dr. Durham, NH
Dest: Homewood Suites Hotel 21 Members Way Dover NH

How can I get the KTM dealers into my Zumo 550, I just need the dealers in the western half of the USA. I found a POI file for KTM dealers in AZ, NEV, UTAH and Idaho but it doesn't include enough states for my travels, I also need Calif., N.M., CO., Mont., Oregon, and Wash.
Can I add to that file?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

After downloading the newest lifetime map to Nüvi 760, I discovered I besides the new map still have a part of the previous loaded map (Map, Info: Europe, Nordics)!

The SD card is removed!!

I can't figure out how to remove it. Normally the new download remove present maps.

The GPS operates normal

I have read many of the "help with creating .csv", however most refer to using a spreadsheet program. I tried using that buy my Open Office calc isn't cutting it. Why?

So I used "notepad", got what I want pretty much but here is the problem. How to get description to reside on a given line.
Sample: -157.xxxxxx,21.xxxxxx,restaurant,"address blah blah,City,state

Seems to me that last year my 1350 was able to play .wav files (e.g. "Tim Horton's ahead") but now it won't. Garmin tells me that a 1350 has never been able to play .wav files. Am I barking up the wrong tree?

I searched and have found people mentioned 8bit or 22x22 and using MS Paint, but I'm a mac user and have no idea how to convert the current icons to show up (without zooming all the way) as I drive like my saved favorites. I have successfully downloaded Starbucks POI's and icons and they do show up, but you have to zoom all the way in in order to see them.

I have my favourites set up in several categories for ease of use. I'd like to edit the names of the categories, but I can't seem to find a way to do that. I can create a new category, but editing doesn't seem to be an option.

Anyone have a way to do that?

Thanks

A couple of days ago my 1390 was correctly displying redlight warning and speed warning. Then yesterday I began to experiment with TourGuide gpx files (yes, I know they won't show the jpg or play an mp3 file). Since then neither redlight or speed alerts work. I have tried everything including a couple of hard resets and a re-load of current software - nada.
Anyone any suggestions?

I have a 1450. If I download more than one set of POI's, i.e. Walmart and Passport America, they wind up in "Extras" in one big lump. How do I break them out individually?

When I got my 3790 there was an icon to push for money saving offers. I was a beginner with the device trying out all the options. So now I can't figure out how to turn them off. They're for Best Western, Shell gasoline (enriched with nitrogen!), Red Lobster and I think The Olive Garden.

If you actually press on the ad, you get a search results screen of nearest locations.

I recently downloaded the complete listing of the Harley-Davidson dealerships in the United States along w/ the HD icon & the voice prompt indicating I'm approaching a dealership. I dumped them into my Garmin Nuvi 760 & found the HD dealership listing under the custom POI's.

Back in January, I installed a workaround on the web site to address problems with POI Loader 2.6.0.

Here is my post back at that time:

Now that POI Loader 2.6.1 has been out for a while, I've decided to remove the workaround, which had some side-effects such as truncation issues.

Do businesses pay to have their business searchable? Sort of like a Yellow Pages but on the GPS? Where does a GPS draw content from for things like
- department stores,
- Public parks,
- churches,
- some doctors offices

At my last job I would use my Zumo to save new routes I'd use on the job. Just turn the unit on and drive. The next day, (for some reason it wouldn't allowing saving the same day) I would save and name the route.I had several saved.

I just purchased a NUVI 1300. The restaurant POI's for the area are very inaccurate. Many have closed, others to not appear. How do I report these to Garmin. The 1300 allows me to rate or report them for deletion, but not edit them.

I am looking at the new Garmin for truck drivers. When would be a good time to get one and get the free mapes update for 2012. jolleyr
