Garmin talk

Hi

I have a Garmin Nuvi 255 which I would like to increase the number of possible waypoint/favourites beyond the firmware imposed 1000 limit.

Does anyone know whether this can be done (via a hack) or whether this would be resolved by using a memory card?

I have exhusted this arbitrarly small number so quickly!

Thanks,
Mark

i am havin trouble savin to my garmin 775 when the file is saved like this on download ex.c:\garmin\state parks.csv it says the path name you have entered is not a directory,please specify the directory where your poi filesare located help where are they AG.

What is the differenc between Wass and HoHo receivers.
Is one better than the other. I beleive I have WAAS. But it seems my 855 can handle the HoBo receivers.

On my NUVI 360 I have speed cameras instaled.
When I pass a certain spot in Port Richi Florida I get a signal that says "Speed Camera 1mph"
I understand the Speed Camera alert, but what does the 1mph part mean?

I know I can load POIs into my Zumo, but is there any way to load POIs into RoadTrip (MapSource) so that I can create routes using the POIs?

Amazon has the Garmin nuvi 885T on sale for $309, one day only! THat is pretty good price!

If you don't need Bluetooth this is a great deal:

I just installed the Kenwood DNX 9140 unit in the car which comes with Garmin navigation in-built. Have a couple q's about this:

I was wondering if there is a way to tell when your POI's are updated. There probably is, but I don't know about it.

Attempted to install latest updated maps for N. America onto my Nuvi 200. Halfway through the install both the Nuvi and computer locked up and I had to reboot. Now the Nuvi displays a "No detailed maps found that support routing...The nuvi cannot be used without them" error message.

I recently purchased the Garmin 765T with the Navteq lifetime traffic. I live in the GTA, Ontario and I commute often on the highways...401,400,407,404 etc.

I was thinking to subscribe to the Premium Clear Channel (TTN) traffic network (USD60.00) instead. My question is....

Can someone else with one of this units try some tests for me?

I discovered last night when testing the combined rest areas custom POI set that search results do not work correctly in one particular case.

I activated a route between Longmont, CO and Richfield, UT, set my search mode to near-my-current-route, and selected the Rest Areas POIs.

What is WAAS / EGNOS? What do they mean and should I enable it on my Nuvi 660?

Recently my 660 has been acting weird. It doesn't tell me to turn within 500ft or turn left when it is time to turn. It outlines it of course on the map, but it won't tell me to turn at all. It does however tells me to turn on Smith Drive within a mile and that is it. Of course when Smith Drive is approaching nothing. If I miss the turn it tells me recalculating. I am lost literally (LOL).

I havent found any info on this. If I already have added my own POIs. Then lets say, I wanted to add Rest Stop POIs later. Do I have to delete all my POIs and then add them all back again, or can I just add the Rest Stop POI stuff to what is already on the unit? Would constructing the POIs into categories (individual folders) enable me to just add, or edit a mp3 alert on the unit?

I have a Nuvi 785T with the 2010.10 map and every now and then I get the "your map is over a year old" does anyone else get this?

Hi All,

First post here. I'm running a Garmin Nav that's built into my Kenwood DNX9140. I have the red light & speed cameras POI installed. It plays the sound, but no icon displays. I used the Garmin POI Loader to get things going.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue?

My garmin always routes me to my house using a route that is longer than necessary. When I tried the same route on mapquest, the route is similiar to garmin. the problem i realised is that the maps are not recognizing a road that is physically there and being used, hence it is routing you a different way.

I know I have to have my POI's in structured folders, examle

Custom POI\Category (such as food, shopping, etc)

but can I also have subfolders such as

Custome POI\Category\subCategory (such as Fast Food, Discount Stores, etc)

Thanks,
Carol

I am a noobie. I have no problem updating my POI's, but when it comes to attaching a custom sound to them, I am lost. I have read the instructions many times and understand that if I my file is named redlight-camera.csv … then I must name the MP3 file … redlight-camera.mp3...However, how do I tell what my file is named? My downloaded file tells me that it is Redlight-Cameras.csv.
