Garmin talk

I love your site and the service that you provide; needless to say that in the past 2 days I've downloaded more than a few of your POI's on my brand spankin' new Garmin nuvi 265WT. And boy, o-boy...do I have a lot to learn!

I am trying to find out what POI's if any have been loaded onto my Garmin 265wt.
Everytime I go into the dashboard to read my GPS it tell me "Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer

A malfunctioning or malicious add-on has caused Internet Explorer to close this webpage."

Hi all,

Does anyone has any success of getting Garmin or Navteq to correct map error after you submitted it using the online form ?

I just submit a map error using the online form at the Garmin website and wondering how are their responsiveness to it.

Thanks

Hi all,

Within mapsource, for each waypoint, you can put in some comments. After loading these waypoints into the Nuvi, Is there anyway to display these comments on the Nuvis ?

Thanks

We just did a trip from NC to MN. While still in NC, I used Mapsource to input into my Garmin 765t, the route I wanted to take. The Garmin came up with 1201 miles in 17hrs 42 minutes. Using 14 waypoints to peg the route so it isnt recalculated when sent to the unit. While here in Cottage Grove, MN, I used Mapsource to config the same route back to NC.

Has anyone noted charging problems with the MSN Direct Receiver GDB 55 battery? After about 6 hours on DC power the battery on my cable only charged to half scale. Then intermittantly it indicates 1/4 charge or no charge. This may have started after the software update that was to provide faster acquisition of traffic information. I am not sure.

I am very disappointed in the low volume level from the on board speaker of the Nuvi 780.

I tried TTS Voice Editor and the volume is still not at the level of my N200. The navigation voice is louder but all the other sounds are still too low.

Below is what our friends at Garmin had to say

So, what external powered speakers do you find works well ?

I was wondering, how do you know that the red light information has been transferred onto the GPS? I downloaded the software from Garmin. The GPS indicated it. But, the red light info, I don't see it.

Has anyone considered a POI for Italian Restaurants?

Is there a way to permanently set the initial viewing height on the 775T to around 300 ft? .2 miles is a bit much for my use as I would like a bit more detail on start-up.

BTW, thanks to Gary H. for his great site on the Garmins!

i can am very new to this can somebody tell me how to save a file when i download it and where to save it and so i can find it useing poi loader .and how to save in c;drive

I was wondering if anyone has experienced a problem with thier Garmin Nuvi 255w just reseting to factory? I can't say for sure it was a factory reset, but all my userdata(waypoints, and system settings) were deleted or reset.

Only thing that survived was the RedLight Camera custom POI which was loaded on the SD card.

Is there a way to create multiple "Custom POI" groups on my GPS? I am able to grab a POI file and load it to the GPS but I can't figure out how to select different POI groups. Whenever I include secondary subsets of POIs, the POIs merge into a single POI file. Can someone point me in the right direction on this please?
Thank you, Steve andrews757@hotmail.com

I was trying to navigate to Super Cuts near my home from work the other day. This location has been in existence for at least 5 years.

I did a search on my Nuvi 780 but could not find this location.

So here is my question. How does businesses find their way into the Garmin Maps POI's ?

I searched for a few other business in the same business center and found them, but no Super Cuts.

I have a Zumo550 with garmin NACN2010 and Mexico maps.

I down loaded a POI for Mexico, I can't get it to show up on my GPS. The file looks like this>

Hi, there

Hello Everyone!
I'm new to the forum and I like it.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible for my 780 to read POI's from the SD Card? Thanks to this forum I was able to figure out how to load them to the card but I do not know how to use them.
Thanks in advance!

Looking for postions of the cameras throughout NYC

I noticed this on their website today. They have put it on sale before for less, but this is a pretty good deal.

Amazon also has this for about the same price, but if you want to purchase this locally this is the cheapest I have seen it for a while.
