Garmin talk

I just replaced my battery in my 250w nuvi .it wasn't to bad but the flat wire strips came undone from there anchors and I had no clue what was up, so with a magnifier and some fiddling I figured out the tiny little clips that lock the cables in and reassembled it and it works.The instructions did not say anything about them and they are real delicate and fiddly .

Interesting experience this past weekend. SWMBO and I were in NE Tennessee. While driving around Lake Watauga, Karen (that is the voice I have selected) continually attempted to route me onto the Appalachian Trail. SWMBO said NO WAY with her Impala!

GARMIN 465T WILL NOT CLEAR ADDRESSES ANY HELP APPRECHIATED

I've installed several custom POI files (Walmart, Rest Stops, Flying J/Pilot, & others) to my Garmin 765T. I also have the bmp file & alert file for several of them. I've renamed the bmp & mp3 files to the same name as the POI file. I can open all of my custom POI files & choose any POI as a destination & the GPS calculates a route.

After updating the unit to the lastest firmware, I was able to transfer poi files and then safely eject the unit from the computer. The poi files were retained. Nice not to have to just remove the usb cable while the unit is still showing on the computer.

All,

I used POI Loader to create a poi.gpi file from various csv files and had it loaded to my Garmin 62S. I confirmed that the poi.gpi file went into the Garmin/POI folder on the unit.

can gpx poi work on the garmin

can anyone give me a good reason to buy this one over the other.. Its on sale and I know little about GPS

I have a Nuvi C320 and Nuvi 205. I also have TomTom 125 and TT 140. Do you guys know if I'll have any issues using these in Hawaii?

Do the maps only contain Continental US, or do they include Hawaii?

I recently purchased a 1490T to replace my Streetpilot c550. I have included a MP3 file in a folder and uploaded it using the POI Loader. The locations all are listed as expected. The MP3 file always played when I was in proximity of the location when using the c550. I can't get the 1490T to play the file. Should it be a WAV file? Or have I failed to do something correctly?

Okay, I just switched from a 2GB card to a 4GB card in my 60CSx.

Never had a problem in about two years using the 2GB card. Recently read that the latest firmware enables the use of a 4GB card. So I have the latest firmware and I load up a 4GB card and away I go... not so fast.

I loaded icons with the custom poi file that I put into my 1490T. They do not appear on the map unless I zoom all the way in to just about maximum - and then I can see the built in icons as well. I thought that the custom poi icons are visible at less magnification - based on a comment made on another post.

I'm not sure about the poi files to the zumo...I am still trying to figure out how to load my routes to my nuvi 3790LMT from my mapsource...any ideas...??

I have a zumo, I have gotten to the point of the POI loader, don't know where to put the poi files?
please advise

im a bit confused...?
I have 4 seperate list poi's under "custom poi".
If i upload any others, they are not added.
Am i doing something wrong or do i need to use the
sd card slot?
Sorry so dumb....
but any help appreciated..
Smoketr...

I am trying to get the wav sound file from this site to load with the rest area poi file. All files are named exactly the same plus the appropriate extention. Sox.exe and all related files are in the folder with POILoader. The computer is running Win7 64bit- POILoader starts with no problem.

The 1490T has Voice Dial through bluetooth. Does this only work if the cell phone also has voice dial? I have a my phone paired with the 1490T and when I select voice dial on the Garmin I get a blank screen on the Garmin that says Cancel on bottom. No matter what I speak at the Garmin nothing happens - my cell phone does not have voice dial on its own.

I entered the addresses of all the Christmas decorations prize winners in Aledo. I transferred only the waypoints to my nuvi with Mapsource. I created a new route using those waypoints on my unit. I have u-turn avoidances checked, but no matter what route preferences I check, the route tells me to u-turn at two locations. Why doesn't it route me to go around the block?

I put the SD card in. It appeared on my computer as Drive F - not "Garmin SD" as I have seen on posts in this forum. The card is readable from the computer and also the Garmin as I installed Custom POIs to the card by creating a folder myself on the card called Custom POI's and then when the unit turned on asked if I wanted to load them to the unit. So the they are there.

anyone know how to get video into a garmin 650 I would like to use it as a backup monitor also as well as GPS.
