Garmin talk

hi, just wondering if the poi's when you edit them for alerts do they just alert when you set a trip or will they alert automatically, planning a trip to a city but when i get there just wanna drive around and see some sites will the nuvi alert me if any of these poi's are near?

I have a CAD file that I would like to use as a map on my Nuvi 360 or Oregon 200... DWG or SHP files into GPX or LOC file. Any help out there? Thanks in advance for any help...

I´m new here and new to the gps world. I bought a Garmin Nuvi 255W a few months ago and my son in law was going to put a new map onto a SD card for me and acccidently formatted the Nuvi instead of the SD card. I had downloaded a update of the USA map that came with the Nuvi so I was able to reinstall that map but I know that the basemap is missing.

I just bought a Garmin 265T and I wanted to put in my rest stop locations.
No problem with the location file or the reststop icon that comes up when you get near. But the sound file will not load, it has the same extension as the other files and I have used it on other units.
All that comes up on the screen is a tone and a box that says rest stop ahead.
Any ideas?.................Cy

So, we all know that some Garmin units support TTS Voices, and others don't. My question is this. Are the voices on the least expensive units that support TTS the same as the TTS voices on the most expensive units? And has anyone noticed a difference in the voice quality?

I'm new here to your site and have a few questions. I have the Nuvi 855 with the voice command feature and I have used it some but was wanting to now from others why the newer GPS units do not have this capability? Also how do others like there 855?

Thanks for your help

On my 755T I get very small pop up boxes with ads.
How do I get rid of them?

Is there a way to edit the speed limits that are displayed on my garmin unit? Say there is construction or the city raises/loweres the posted speed limit. Thanks.

I've just noticed the Zip Code feature in the Where To is now gone. Anyone else notice this?

Wonder if this can be done? I have an icon under "Where to go?" called Extras. In there are my Custom POIs. You hit that and you get all the goodies we so cherish. First one is All Categories which i would really like to get rid of, but i think when i did that the last time I lost all of it, so i'll leave that one alone. What i really want to do is have this all alphabetical.

i used google maps and created a custom route that i then loaded into my Garmin Nuvi 1300 but i was just thinking, what about when i go home and i want to take the same route?? do i have to load a custom route from the destination back home?

I am just curious... I own a 755 nuvi and was wondering if the ones who owns an 7x5 series over the new garmin generation saw some improvement. In the affirmative, which features are "a must" to you?

I ran into a problem with my Garmin 265wt GPS today and was wondering if anyone else had any solutions to this problem.

Is there a GPS (Garmin or other brand) on the market that shows the speed limit as well as your current speed AND warns you if you are exceeding the speed limit?

I downloaded the POI Loader and then created a file and placed POI MP3 sounds within the file, from the website. I then tried using the POI Loader by pointing the POI Loader to my files. I received a messages that states "their are no files in that directory"

Please help; I have been on this site trying for a few hrs now.

thanks,

As title say, i would like to know if is a shortcut route to spell a favorite. Thanks.
