Garmin 2010.4 map problem

Anyone else notice with 2010.40 it recalculates for no reason? I am driving down the interstate and I get a recalculating. This has happened several times.

Nuvi 660 battery replacement

I just bought a replacement battery from batteryship.com for my 660. if you need a new battery they shipped a quality product and the tools I needed to replace the battery for under $20. i recommend you look at them if you need a battery.

Red light alert

I have downloaded the redlight-camera poi, used the Garmin POI loader program to install it on my Nuvi 750. It shows as being there when I go to 'Extras, Custom POI's as a gpi file. It does not alert me when I approch a red-light camera (I know they are there). I was using Garmin's redlight download and it worked.

map update with multiple garmins

Is there a way not to have the download of maps 2010 from garmin downloaded for each nuvi? The download time is at least 2 hours and who wants to spend their life waiting for downloads. We have the file of 2.02g and have other life time cards, but would like to not have to down load the map for each nuvi

Corrupt (?) language voice

My Nüvi 760 worked fine until some months ago.
Suddenly the voice got distorted, I understood more or less what was said, but...
I have now two Danish voice versions, Danish and Danish Nana.
When I bought the GPS, there was only one voice version, Danish and I made a complete backup of the software originally installed on the GPS.

Poi's

I am new to the 'POI Factory' but am wanting to find out how Nuvi's handle additional POI's. For Example McDonalds,
they all seem to be on my Nuvi among all the other POI's so if I download the one from the POI Factory, does my Garmin use both my new download and what's in it's own memory bank? Does my question make sense? Thanks

Nuvi routing

I just did a small trip down thru San Antonia, Galveston, New Orleans, and back to Missouri. 3 times on our trip my Nuvi 750 instructed us to exit the freeway, took us down thru 35 mile-an-hour speed zones with stop lites every other block, and then took us back up on to the freeway. This is the first time something like this has happened.

Maps and Memory

Can anyone tell me when loading new versions of maps North America, does it replace the previous version or overlay and take up more memory space. The reason I ask, is because I purchased lifetime maps and was wondering if I'm going to run out of memory space sometime in the future?

If so, can you delete previous to make room for more space?

Long. - Alt. differences

Am trying to do some customs POI's and not having much success or maybe my Nuvi 750 has quit doing POI's?!? I have found my 750 is .25 miles different than Google earth when I do Long. & Alt. Is this pretty normal or which would be more correct? Thanks

Can I convert POI back to .cvs and .wmv?

My laptop just crashed down and whole files thing are gone for good. I have to reinstall OS and everything else. I already made a copy a original map of 255W to a SD card before so no worry.

Garmin 255w Red Light Alarm Malfunction?

Last week I was driving through the secondary roads of Chicago my red light camera alarm was going off like crazy. No big deal since I know there are red light cameras all over the place. The problem is my Garmin RLC alarm would go crazy and start beeping and would not stop. Anyone experience this.. any fixes? The only thing I could do was shut it down and restart to get the alarm to stop.

H-T-M-L for your GPS

CSV and GPX files containing HTML codes combined with text can be used in the comment or description fields on some GPS units providing colored text in different sizes. I’m not sure if uploading files to POI Factory which contain HTML data is a good idea because I don’t know which GPS units can display that data.

Traffic alerts and 3d Building View in Vancouver, BC?

I have a nuvi 765T and am in Vancouver, BC Canada. Even when driving on roads that supposedly have traffic alert coverage, I have never received any alerts (or even the ads for the free service). Can anyone confirm that traffic alerts are available and working in Vancouver? Also, is there 3d building view available here? Thanks!

mac users (csv files grayed out with Garmin POI Loader)

i had another post about the difficulties i experienced with my new mac and poi loader for mac i downloaded from garmin . couldnt get it to work .i tried methods suggested by other poi members and thought i was successful but wasnt.

My Nuvi speeks Westbrook as Westblook

My Nuvi 765 speaks a street (WestBrook Drive) near my house as Westblook. Is there a way to correct this? Also when you are travelling on QEW (Queen Elezabeth Way)highway, it calls it "Q".
