Garmin talk

Question for the knowledgable folk here. I just purchased the lifetime updates for my Nuvi370. My question is can I install the updates on more than 1 PC? I currently have Mapsource on my desktop, but I need to replace the HD. In mean time I want to install the updates on my laptop so I can have the latest maps available.

Looking forward to the answer.

I currently own a Nuvi 260 that came preloaded with North America, Canada and Puerto Rico; I have used the 260 in Canada, Alaska and Puerto Rico and find this the ideal map for people living in the USA.

I am using my 765T MP3 player and sending through my FM radio, as I do not have an audio in jack on the radio. It usually works very well, but sometimes I get a bleedover of distant radio stations, even on the unused frequencies, when weather conditions are just right.

I'm reading some stuff around that says proximity alerts work ONLY on POIs that at or near a roadway. I have several Nuvi 1450T's. I am in Emergency Mgmt. I've created POI's for tornado sirens, rain gauges, and some vulnerable things like pipelines, pumping stations, etc. Obviously, most of these are NO WHERE near roadways.

Why do not see poi or gpx files in the browse box POI loader?

The last two days my MSN reception in the Phoenix area has been virtually non-existent. I routinely take my bean bag mount and cord out of my car and put in my work truck. Sometimes when I do, I notice a slight service disruption, usually about 15 minutes. I'm sure that the battery in the cord needs to be changed and the 125 minuite disruption is from it trying to acquire the MSN signal.

OK, I added a bunch of POI's and am not happy with the results. They all seem to be at least a block off from their actual location. The unit slows down so that even the cross streets don't keep up with speed of travel. I even switched to 2d, it still can't keep up.

My Nuvi 1390 & 1450 show the speed limit and vehicle speed.

Is it possible to add a icon to a pre-loaded poi file on a nuvi 205w.

I have a unit that can not save routes so I have to do some work around.Getting ready for a 750 mile trip.What I want to do is plot my start and end point and include all my favorite custom pois that are along the route in one file.So I don't have to switch around selecting food one time,hotels and gas the next.So using Mapsource and Extra Poi Editor came up with this method.One advantage I see if

Along with the 1490LMT I picked up on the weekend I went ahead and ordered an ecoRoute HD from http://www.GPScity.ca

Some of the poi files I have downloasded to my Garmin255 are not listed on Extras icon for custom poi's?

When I got my 755t it had a sneaker vehicle icon. Is there a way of getting it back?

I am planning to travel internationally to Argentina. Of all of the Garmin GPS available, which one is best for South America - Argentina ?

Thanks for any responses..

I have both GPX & CSV files on my GPS.
If I plug my GPS into my computer and open the drive, I can click on a CSV file and open it in Excell and see what is on it.
If I click on a GPX file, I get a message that it can't be opened.
Is there a way to open this kind of file to read the information.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi everybody! Im italian, so don't mind at my english...

I'd like to update the maps on my nuvi 250.
I have Firmware 5.00 and the maps are "City Navigator Europe NT 2008 [1] ALL". I have the latest version of Mapsource.

Thanks for the help!

My Nuvi 650 touchscreen has become non responsive on three occasions now. Researching the topic on the net I found references to problems with the 650s with certain serial numbers. Mine fell into that category. But, the pattern I have noticed is that when it fails it has usually been in a hot environment for a while in particular a hot car.
