Garmin talk

Thank you in advance.

I downloaded csv POIs and put them in a folder on my Mac. I have the Garmin Nuvi 255W hooked up to the computer and have installed the POI loader.

But when I point the software to the files to download them to the unit, they are all greyed out.

I don't have MS Excel installed, but that shouldn't make a difference (right?).

Any one having problems logging into there's?

I just downloaded the Diners,Drive-ins & Dives CSV file. However the location addresses, which are in the file, are not showing up in my Garmin 265W. The strange thing is the GPX file works fine, shows the addresses. Any ideas?

How many use there Nuvi for walking around with to find a location or your current location? If you use it in this manner, how do you carry it or hold it while doing that? Do you attach something to it to hold it? Do you put it in something to protect it?

I would like to use it in that way, but I am afraid I would drop it and break it. Interested in others experiences.

thanks,

Hi,

I have a Nuvi 750. Garmin does not provide Mapsource free to it's customers.

Are there any available FREE map programs that will
accomplish the same tasks as Mapsource?????

I know that's a silly question....

I know this comes up often but hey it's a new day.. anybody see any good deals on Garmins recently?

Thanks Flip

has anyone installed this software, that sits in the task bar?!

I had problem with Nuvi 750 not displaying album art on MP3 player. I solved it by using WMP to obtain album art and then copying album art and pasting it on each album. For unknown reason Nuvi did not recognize album art that automatically displayed when CD was ripped. Kind of a pain , but works.

Is POI information stored on my SD Card. Can I add more memory by increasing the size of my SD Card?

This is all new to me. Any and all help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Am wanting to leave my 760 Behind, but can get the information on one thing about the new models...will they indeed have an AuX out, so I can run it through my car stero...FM transmitter isn't important if I have the Jack..and will these new models have a music player on it like the 760 does...I am assuming that this features will follow through with these new models, but don't want to take the pl

Hi... newbie here. I recently bought a nuvo 205 for a long driving trip I'm taking this summer. Found this site and love the POIs! However, I'm having a problem...

From the Garmin blog: "The myGarmin Agent Plugin alerts you when a Garmin device is plugged in to your computer and allows quick access to my.garmin.com."

There's already been an update:

Is it possible to have my 660 say Route 123 instead of State Road 123

I just bought a new garmin and would like to move my fovorites from one unit to the other. Is there an easy way to do this?

Greets... I would like to know if anyone has got the Garmin 255wt to support GPX files downloaded from this site. I was told that it did not support multiple destination routing because I tried to download a map from mapquest and save as a GPX which worked and showed up in my GPX folder but my garmin 255wt would not run it. So if I download a gpx as a poi how can I access it and use it??

Hey All,

I was thinking about picking up the nuMaps lifetime update, then I noticed that there is a new place for a discount code.

Before I ask, Miss POI, is it OK for me to ask if anyone has any knowledge of these codes?

There is an update from Version 5 to 5.1 on the Garmin site.

Does anyone know if this unit will play WAV files? (And yes I have SOX as my current unit is a 200.)

I stopped in the Garmin store in Chicago and they told me that "installing any non-Garmin software could void your warranty." When I questioned the sales drone if this included custom POI, he backtracked and stated he wasn't sure.

Hi

I am new here and was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is possible to change the standard speed camera alert ding that comes on the zumo 660 to a custom mp3 file of my choice.

many thanks
