Hello,

Does anyone in the forum know if POIs can be added to MapSource using the databases provided through POI Factory? It's easy to add the information to the GPS device using the POI Loader; but I'm unable to find a way to add POIs to MapSource. I'd like to be able to use the additional information when planning trips.

If it is possible, what are the steps?

Thanks for the help.

On the Nuvi 200 are there any operational benefits to installing a small one state map in gmapprom verses the full NA City Navigator map.
Will the GPS acquire a signal or calculate a route faster.

Can I change the default simulation speed of 11 mph increasing it to say 45 mph??

Thanks, Jack.

hello I will be in the Philippines and would like to have more detail than the current factory defalt. Does any one know if I can download detailed maps of the philippines on my Garmin etrax vista. I do have mapsource 2.24

There is a new traffic firmware upgrade for the 1490T, which just appeared using WebUpdater this weekend. I would presume this will also apply to others in the 1xxx series.

I am trying to download some favorites from one garmin to another. I know how to do it with POI's, but can not see them in the garmin on the computer. They are there in the 350, but when I go to the gpx file,the file is empty. Also was looking to do the same with the Recent Selections. Can anyone help?

Hello everyone, let me give you the scenario before the question. I plan on using my Garmin on my motorcycle. Often, I will already know the route I am taking and will have it on to monitor speed, find nearest Gas Stations or food, etc.

So, my NUVIfone M20 finally arrived. A friend was traveling in Singhapore and brought one back for me. I thought I would post first impressions on the phone/GPS.

Some quick notes...
- It's TINY, and very light. It is smaller than a Nokia E71.
- It is very blue, kind of a turquoise look. Actually pretty cool.

I just received my nuvi 265wt worked great out of the box on Thursday. Registered it online at mygarmin.com and it updated software, except now my traffic is gone!! I bought this one for the free traffic, searched all over garmin’s web site and found nothing.

What can I do, it was a surprise for my wife today and it's already jacked up...

Hello everybody. How many of you are in favor of trying to start a petition for Garmin to try and get the custom maps in a nuvi?
The custom maps look awsome but not too many people have a Oregon Dakota or a Colorado. I think Garmin would listen to the people

Used the heck out of our 660 with latest maps in Ft Myers, FLA this past week...
Only had one gotcha... GPS told us to do a left turn to our Condo Rental immediately after returning from the Causway From Sanibel Island. No, Don't do that! There is a concrete wall there! (Could have been a recent addition).

Last night when I got home, I left my 750 in the car and did not turn it off. My wife used the car this morning to run some errands. She called later and asked what she should do with the gps I left in the car. I told her to just drop it into the center console and close the lid. She picked me up a few hours later for a trip to the movies.

I use my 360 on long hauls in my RV with great results, but have one annoying problem.

My be in my settings but cannot see where.

Say I am going across New Mexico on I-40 east from state line and my destination is Amarillo TX. I set in Amarillo and do a goto. I want the data to show when I will arrive in Amarillo.

Can you use POI files with a Garmin 7200?

Hi everybody, Just wanted to wish you and your families, a Happy Valentines Day!!

Hello POI Factory

Do gmapprom.img work on NUVI 205 and also the Street Pilot C320 ?

Is it true, that I only need to copy the file into the root of the MicroSD card (NUVI205) or into the root of the SD Card (StreetPilot C320) ?

Best regard
Michael

What is everyone take on the 755T. Any big problems such as touch screen issues, etc. All feedback welcome.

What does including a .jpg photo with a TourGuide POI really do? Does it show on the screen?

does my garmin 255wt automatically show my custom pois i downloaded or do I have to access them through the menu???

thanks
