TDBank Alert

Anybody know where I can get a TDBank Alert ?

POI - FIND - Mapsource - Help please

Used Zumo 550 as basic route planner for 6k miles in Alaska last year. Trying to be more specific for our next 20k, so dwnld Harley Dealer POI.
My issue(s); original Mapsource poi has Harley dealers in category "shopping", subcat "apparel". Is there a way to change the Garmin POI category/subcat to "Harley"?
I added the icon and can make waypoints, but wanted to minimize duplicates.

GPS for use in RV, with smart routing around low clearance bridges, etc?

Hi,
How would one go about using GPS to alert you or better yet, reroute to avoid low clearance situations for a 12' tall RV?
The Garmin 465T is listed on their site as being truck friendly. I guess that'd cover it? It says it would route to avoid hazards? Think that'll work? Anyone have one?

Thanks,
RN

how to get the latest RGN file?

how does one go about obtaining the latest rgn file? It appears that Garmin stopped releasing them, and only releases gcd files, or lets you use web update. For modding the firmware, though, I seem to need a rgn.

Does anyone know how to convert the gcd to rgn files?

Or can someone send me or post a 827 ver 6.40 firmware for a nuvi 255W?

THANKS!

Can I add POI's to a new sandisk.

I have a Garmin 750 and have previously downloaded and use POI's via a sans disk that is installed in unit. Can I purchase another disk and then download some different POI's? Then when I want to change POI's I just change disks?

Right now I have the whole list on this pc in a file, can I add to it then download to 750? question

Thanks.

Garmin 250W (in Arizona)

We have had our Garmin for about 9 months now and for the most part it does pretty well. However we are in Arizona and it is terrible here. Can't find things, gives directions to the wrong place, or bad directions. HELP please. I tried to find the post office in Camp Verde the other day and it said the nearest one was in Cottonwood just as we were driving by the Post Office in Camp Verde!!!

Lockups

I upgraded the map in my 750 last night to 2011.1. The upgrade also updated my OS to 4.90. I have done that twice now and each time I end up with a different lock up scenario. This time we were following a Route this morning while listening to an audio book. The navigation prompts were much louder than the book audio.

Does the Zoom Feature Automatically Reset

I have a 1490t and a 765t. I used the zoom in zoom out feature for the first time yesterday. My question is does the zoom feature on the Nuvis automatically reset to an original setting when the units are turned off and then on? I cannot find an answer on this site or in the manuals.

Doesn't Zoom out

My 265WT after being upgraded to 2011.10 not longer zooms out on the main map of North America without shutting down. I go to the view map screen and then just zoom out. It will go about 3 times and then shutt off. The last time I tried it (about a month ago on 2010.40 map) It didn't have this problem.

Carring Case Tip

Carring case that came with my garmin 660 didn't have a
strap to secure it in the case and one day it fell out
so I put a velcro strap across the open of the case.

Garmin Nuvi 1490T Replace Speed Camera Beep With My Sound

I have a new Garmin 1490T connected to an iMac. What I want to do is... replace the low volume beep for 'Speed Camera' with my own sound only louder so that I get a clear audible warning! Yes I can turn up the volume; but that makes other instructions too loud!

NuMaps price drop.

Amazon has dropped thier NuMaps Lifetime price again to $85.

Garmin 770 - turn by turn to OEM bluetooth?

Is it possible to get a Gamrin Nuvi 770 to send the turn by turn direction via bluetooth to a car OEM bluetooth integration.

Say I am listening to the radio, and when some information from the GPS comes, have the radio silence and hear through the speakers.

Just like a cell phone integration does when receiving a phone call?

Why are Dining POI so terrible?

I used to own a Magellan GPS prior to 765T. It gets pretty frustrating sometimes that the dining POI is pretty sub-par. Does not have basic categories for Asian cuisines! This should come standard.

Any thoughts!

Garmin Mexico map...2011.10

I was wondering why after I loaded the 2011.10 map that I had Mexico but no POI's. Whenever I searched a city and went to points of interest it always brought up places in the U.S. I could go to cities and bring up towns but no street data or POI"s. I got the base map version evidently. I could see some highways.

Loading Map on SD Card

I have my SD Sub directories setup the same as my NUVI 350 sub directories and currently load all my POIs onto the SD Card.

At the present time, I have sufficient memory on my NUVI with about 500+ Meg free space. I had 600+ Meg before I loaded 2011.10. It is likely that I will eventually run out of room.

Deleting Unused Files

Can I delete the voice files and help files from my Garmin that are not required. For instance, the ones for a foreign language? This would give me more room to download needed POI's etc?

numaps 2011.10

It was available for download for my 760.
