Garmin talk

Hello, I have a Garmin nuvi 265wt and added a 2GB SD card to store extra content. On the card, I created a JPEG folder and uploaded various pictures to attach to my favorite locations. I can attach them to the location but every time I turn off the unit the locations lose their pictures.

Recently, I made the switch from the Street Pilot to the Nuvi. I liked the Street Pilot but that model does not announce street names and, for me, that is needed.

what are they? did a search no luck??

#2..how do you load POI icons/sounds?

does anyone know of any sites with free good Topos of the USA.

thanks

I've downloaded these files and am curious if I have to do anything else. Will I automatically get a sound notification as I near one of these or do I have to set something on my Garmin? Thanks.

Good after folks,
As I just joined the group,I already have some questions that I like answers for

--As I already the the Fodor's NA Travel Guide--((010-10672-01)) installed on the Garmin 450 unit
1--By downloading the new POI's off this site,will it blend into the present download of the above program?

I've got an 780 now. Had it a week or so. Like it a lot, but miss some features of the old GPS.

So... I am going to get the 885T and give the 780 to my wife.

I see that some features are not on the 885T but don't really see me missing them. 3d Buildings ?? No ecoroute... Neither mean much to me.

I have added some POI's to my Garmin 255W. I am now wondering will any alerts that I have in the POI's work in map mode of the GPS or will they only work when I have a route programmed and running.

ok i wanted to plug my fiend's addresses to my 765t, iw as in my room, turned the switch.. saw the 'garmin' logo.. 4 seconds of my custom wallpaper.. and BLANK.

ive plugged it into my wall.. and even onto my usb on my computer.. why the hell isnt this thing turning on??

no nothing appears on the screen. no sound from my pc indicating a new device is plugged in.

Are there any hints or tricks or special things on a 250W?

I have downloaded the POI for Sam's Club/Wal-Mart super centers, but cannot call it up on the Garmin Nuvi 750. Where is it?!!!! It will show me Sam's Clubs that are 85 miles away. There are two near me - each about 10 miles away. Where do I find it on my Garmin? Please help!

HI, I have created a list of waypoints in Mapsource for our upcoming Route 66 trip. How do I load these so they show up on the map screen in my NUVI 750?
Thanks,
Lakedawgs

I used a POI installer to install Walmart and Sam's Club POI's, now I want to delte them what is the safest way?
Thanks

DON'T HAVE THEIR COORDINATES - ANYONE AROUND THAT AREA TO GET'EM???

Rockville Adds Four Fixed-Camera Locations to Speed Program

ROCKVILLE, Md., June 2, 2009-Rockville City Police completed installation on June 1 of four new fixed-camera locations to its Speed Camera Program and will begin issuing tickets to violators of the posted speed on Friday, June 19.

I've used the 755t a couple of times now on trips between NYC and Boston and am impressed with the traffic status indication. Pretty much every route I've taken has been covered, Rt. 95, Hutchinson River Pkwy, Merritt Pkwy, Rt. 395, Rt. 295 all have been in the coverage zone. At most, the indicator has been yellow and matched what I was seeing.

I have a Garmin 765T. Starting about 2 weeks ago when I plug the GPS into my PC Autoplay keeps popping up. over and over again. Not just once like it used to. Any ideas of how to turn this off or why it was turned on to start with? TIA

I have nuvi 785T and nuvi 765T that tries to access my Sony Ericsson W810i cell phone.

When it access the phone it asks if OK to use as a modem?? and I accept and then it asks to access as a phone and I accept again.

It then tries to syncronize the contact list and that never stops until I eventually cancel the process.

Sometime in the near future I am planning on upgrading to the Nuvi 755t. Ideally, I would like to be able to plan routes on my computer and load them onto the Nuvi 755t. Is MapSource compatible with that model?
