Garmin talk

I still use a C330 and want to know what features on your newer GPS are the how did I ever live without this feature...

Just curious. I need some ammo when I tell my wife we should replace are perfectly functioning old GPS.

I have made folders on my computer>My POI's, then made subfolders of the different subjects,ie, drug stores, grocery stores, fast food, etc. But when I use POI loader to put on the nuvi(765T) it just puts in one file>poi.gpi. How do I get it to keep in separate folders so on updates just have to update the one that is updated? I know I am missing something but what

I've discovered a small problem using the latest ver of Unflag and MapSource Ver.6.15.6.

Hi, I just bought the GTM 20 the manual stated that there is an external antenna available. I can't seem to find it. If I can't, is there a way to make one? I would think it would be a single wire attached to the proper plug (if I can find one).
Otherwise does anyone know where I can get one and the cost. If it's inexpensive, it might come in handy in fringe areas.

just bought a 755 - arrived last friday (sep4)

love it!

*quite* a step up from my streetpilotIII c340 that died recently

the cost to fix the SP3 was prohibitive - so i got a new one

the 755 was teh right match for my needs

looked around - saw it was going for $450 on garmin's site, found it at fry's for $350, at amazon it was just over $300 ($309 billed to my amex)

does anyone have a poi file for Microtel's

I have made a route in MapSource and I have several Via Points that are made when I drag and drop my route. When this route is loaded into my 760 and I approach one of these via points it will announce arriving at 288 Scotts Ridge Rd on right for example. My question is how do I edit the voice file of this via point and change the text spoken by the unit.

This problem just started. When going North on I-495 in Delaware the green bar at the top tells me I'm going North on I-95 and that the posted speed limit in the lower left corner says 55, the map is clearly showing me I'm on 495 and the Interstate signs on the map say 495.

When I went to reset my trip information, I noticed that the max speed reads 153. I asked my wife what she knew about it and she swears she did not drive 153. No, we don't have any kids who could have taken the car out with us unawares.

If you are in a route and your vehicle comes accross one of the custom POI's (lets say walmart) will the walmart store pop up with out you having to do anything.

Thank You

I received from Microsoft the Release to Manufacturing final completed version of Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit Edition and installed it 2 days ago.

After testing it extensively I have found that all the Garmin Software and the Garmin Communicator plug in work perfectly. This includes the Mapsource software and the map installation software.

Is there a way to have screen shot enabled when I turn on my 765T, instead of going through the menus? When I power down the GPS it turns the screen shot option to disabled, I would like it to be on when I turn the GPS on. Thank you.

I'm a new owner of a Garmin 265WT, and I have acouple of questions.

I downloaded a route from Mapquest into the unit, but have no way to access it because the 265WT doesn't save(?) routes. I've looked in the files on the unit and it is there. So how do I get to it?

What exactly is the SD card for? Can I save routes to it and import them into my unit?

Hello...I have saved the POI files in a folder and loaded them onto my Garmin 7200 via the POI Loader from Garmin, but none of them show when I open the Custom POI section; nothing is listed...it only gives me the option to Delete All. It does show "Transfering Data" on the screen of the GPS, though. Nothing comes up on the screen when I am on the road, either.

Changes made from version 2.70 to 3.00:

* Correct issue installing Map Updates on a Mac.
* Correct issue maintaining more than 128 waypoints. Warning - this software update may require favorites to be reloaded.
* Correct issue with deleting 2-5 letter POIs.
* Correct issue with MSN receiver software failing to download.
* Correct backlight settings handling.

I have just started to notice a minor glitch with my nuvi 660. When approaching an address, the GPS usually announces "Approaching 123 4th Avenue, on left (or right)". But now it seems that more frequently the announcement omits which side of the street the address is on.

Any ideas why this might occur?

Hi All,

I was playing around with the POI Loader version 2.5.3. I use the manual load mode and select Mapsource as the destination to see what it does. I selected my POI files and and it seem to loaded ok without any errors.

My question here is where does those POIs goes when you choose Mapsource ? How do I look at those POIs or check on it ?

Thank you

Does the nuvi 255W play MP3?

Hi everyone,

I've got a question about the redlight camera csv POI file I downloaded from here. Does each individual POI name within that csv file has something meaningful such as does it set the proximity alert speed ?

For example here are some POI names within that file:

Red Light Camera .01vxt
Red Light Camera .01vys
Red Light Camera .022x8
