BMP file doesn't transfer from computer to GPS unit.

I downloaded a file I named Walmart.CSV along with an icon which I named Walmart.Bmp, both downloaded from this site into a common folder.
Using POI loader I then downloaded the contents to my NUVI 660. (Or at least thought I did.)
The Walmart list arrived okay but the icons do not appear.
Where am I going wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Recent Travel to Charlottesville, VA

Just returned from a trip to Charlottesville. My Nuvi 350 took me where ever I needed to go, including the Boar's Head Inn, where I stayed, Monticello (Jefferson's home), Montpelier (James Madison's home), & Ashlawn (Pres Monroe's home). Enjoyed Skyline Drive for my return to the Washington, D.C. area.

850 Files

GARMIN Nuvi 850. How do I find the files loaded to the 850 i.e. voice files. Also, When I look at the SD Card inserted in the NUVI, it shows I have 6MB loaded but when I open the POI file there is nothing there. When I look in Extras in the 850, they are all there. I just want to find all the files in the 850 and can't..Charlie

Is the Garmin Nuvi 850 a old model or new.

Map update expiration date

I bought a Nuvi 755T about a month ago and it came with a free map update which expired on July 1. I attempted to apply the update yesterday (July 1) and found that it had already expired. I figured if should have been available on July 1 or the expiration date should have been June 30.
Lesson to be learned - don't wait until the last minute or it could already be too late. redface redface

Deleting MAD maps

I recently bought a Nuvi 750. Works well with 4.80 formware. However, it came pre-loaded with NT maps AND MAD maps. How can I delete the MAD maps?

What did I do????

I have a nuvi265WT. In the past, my voice prompt was specifically telling me >>>make right turn on East 32 St, It now tells me >>>> make right turn at .2 miles. I think I downloaded something that I shouldn't have. Can anyone tell more what the heck I did, and how to correct this. Thanks in advance!!!!!!

What are "speed alerts"?

I have downloaded and installed the red light camera and stop light camera files and their alert sounds. I recognize what these look like when they "go off".

In addition to these, however, and in only one place, near the Pentagon Mall in VA., my Garmin Nuvi 650 goes off with a ding-ding sound, and displays a red band at the top labeled "Speed Alert".

Nuvi 1300 Loses Favorites

I just purchased a Nuvi 1300 to replace my C340. I used Easy GPS to save my favorites/POIs/waypoints/etc. I used Easy GPS to transfer my gpx file to the Nuvi 1300 just like I used to do with my C340. I even copy & pasted into Garmin's GPX folder. In the past I had transfered files to the C340 after updating several times with Easy GPS with no problems.

Lost FM Transmitter temporarily!

I was driving through Fort Lauderdale listening to MP3's through my FM Transmitter, When it was time to announce a turn, the voice started to spazz out, I lost all sound and the Roads disappeared! I had to restart the unit to get the roads back, still no sound, I restarted a second time, now I have voice back! Does this have anything to do with my MP3's on SD Card?

Experience with City Navigator Europe Maps...

I'm thinking about getting an SD card with Europe maps for my nuvi 750. What's the consensus on these maps from those who have used them? Any thoughts on the Garmin branded vs. the eBay versions - which imply they are the exact same maps? Thanks in advance....

Bestbuy Sends Garmin a Message

Just got back from my local Bestbuy. As I walked by the GPS dept. I noticed no 7x5 or 885 units on display so I asked if they were soldout or had been pulled. The clerk told me all Bestbuys had pulled those units off the shelf. That should put a dent in Garmins revenue and hopefully wake them up to the customer as beta tester business plan is doing more harm than good.

deleting files

I have deleted the none essential voice files can the (gtt) files be deleted to for more space?

Garmin nuvi 760 and mapsource

I have several issues, or problems. Firstly, I've recently downloaded mapsource to do routing and transfer routes to the 760. Yes, I know the 760 will do the routing but every day I get 20-40 new waypoints that come from Streets and Trips, or in .CSV form.

Refurbished Garmin

In general, how are they?

I just ordered one, and I'd appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks.

How to get original pois back on garmin 350?

How does one go about getting the original pois back on a Garmin 350 once they have been overwritten?

I loaned my nuvi to someone and they "reloaded" the pois..... I had told them not to do that... Arggg!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
