Garmin talk

If I load a bunch of POI files to my Garmin will those results come up when I am searching for a place to navigate to? For example, if load all the McDonalds using POI loader and in that list are locations that aren't in the internal memory of the unit, will they show up in search results when looking for a McDonalds?

I have created several custom GPX files and loaded them into my NUVI 255W. My Nuvi only displays the first 52 POI's in a file. i.e. when I page down the list of places it stops at POI 52(13 pages of 4 POI's). Is this a known limit on the GARMIN Nuvi? I thought my files were corrupted but I think it's a limit on my Garmin. Anybody know?

Hi.

I want to install some new POI files in my Nuvi but can't see the full name and extensions on my laptop running Win. XP. I know there is a setting to change this somewhere but I don't remember how to do this.
Can anybody help?

Thanks.

I was driving along Hwy 91A.. there were 2 places where junction view pop up.. and on my way back from US along 99
North..junction view pop up again just before exit 16 to 91A..way to go Garmin..and there were lane assist at a lot of intersections...

I've seen a similar post for this question, but can't find it. I have a 765t and looking at it i see a bunch of files that i want to delete. But what's what in there? In Audible I had those book thingy's deleted them. Text, vehicle. voice, help, lex_pkg and reports are no brainers.

I have my StreetPilot c580 for over 4 years now, and I want to upgrade to nUvi 765? Any suggestions? Any thoughts? I am greatful for any suggestions.... Once again thank you

I have tracks on Mapsource but I can't find a way to get them onto the Nuvi 750. I've tried everything I can think of. I can get waypoints onto the Nuvi but not the tracks. I have City Nav and Topo on the Nuvi. Help will really be appreciated!

Would like to erase the 2010.30 map now that i have downloaded the 2010.40 map to my computer. Want to avoid clutter and using up disk space on the computer. Thanks.

how do I set proximity alarm to a new distance on a streetpilot c340 for my poi

With the lifetime updates , I can up date my Garmin 1490T 4 times a year, will my unit run out of drive space? Do they replace the old map with the new one? Thanks for the help!

I kind of am, but especially on prices that are obtainable on the web. I even thought the co. was European (nuvi?) but when I read up on it, boy was I in for a surprise, it's American. I had always wondered why made in Taiwan, but then I read up on the co......

Firefox version 3.6 is available. If you do not already have Garmin Communicator 2.9.1.0, you will have to update that as well. Garmin Communicator download is here http://www8.garmin.com/products/communicator/

It did not work at first, but I uninstalled Garmin Communicator 2.8.xxx and reinstalled 2.9.1.0 and the Garmin test page says it's working OK now.

Ok I only want to be able to simply save any favorites I find while driving across the US to my SD Card.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 760.

How do I do this? thanks!

I load my poi's manually.
There seems to be a set pattern in the loader for each file in that it keeps coming up with a set alert pattern each and every time I load. I have to change it every time.
How/can I change this to fit my priorities.
There does not appear to be any trigger words in the file name.
Can someone shed some light on this?

So you spent the past three hours downloading the new garmin_rmu_cnnant2010_40 map update. Everything goes well and you receive a maps successfully loaded massage.

You disconnect your Nuvi from your computer, watch it boot up, only to see "can't unlock maps". Your first thought? WTF.

When i run the test in the diagnostic screen and hit inventory it shows the map i have installed along with a bunch of other things and for some reason it says failed beside it and some other things say erased. Is this a problem that i can fix, or somthing i shouldnt worry about? please help

GPS Gurus -

Which is better to use to donwload new updated maps. The Webupdater or the Garmin My Dashboard.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 200, our first GPS. Since I have found this site, we've put several POI's in it to visit.

One thing I had wanted to put on this unit was the NPS Register of Historical Places. The one for our region (South) is almost 5 megs in size.
