POI Download Problem
Today, I tried to update the speed camera and redlight camera POI's. I downloaded the files correctly to my Garmin POI file but when I try to download the files using the POI Loader I get a message "There was a problem coping data to the data card. The device is not ready." This has never happen before and I have updated the files many times in the past. I have a Garmin 780.

How do I get my new POIs to show up?
After you load your POI file, you will find in the \Garmin\Poi folder of your GPS a poi.gpi file. You can rename it to whatever you want (with the .gpi extension) and load another POI file.
I followed the above instructions and loaded four POI files but they did not show up on my Nuvi 265W. What should I try next?

350 Recharge Cycle Counter
I recently purchased a Garmin 350 refurb. When I registered it, ver 6.0 software was downloaded. Now when I go into diagnostic screens I see that the number of recharge cycles = 1.
My question is: does a hard reset or a software upgrade reset this counter to 0, or did I maybe get an unused unit (or battery)?

Updating existing POI files
I downloaded a Speed and Camera alert file for Canada and found some areas where speed traps exist that aren't included. I can update the file for myself (I think 
), but if I wanted to share that info, how does one do that?
After adding the line(s) and saving, than what?

Speed Alert Comment Lines?
Hello again folks,
I've had my 1st Auto GPS less than a week and had some questions about speed alerts.
I've read about using the @ symbol for setting the alert speed so that makes sense, but is it possible to put a comment field in a csv file to remind me that I've changed the original file?
So, for instance in the following line (from a file I downloaded):

Attention Tone on Nuvi 660?
Hi Folks,
What EXACTLY does the "Attention Tone" located under the "Navigation Setting" on the Nuvi 660 do? Mine is Off and I was wondering what it will do if I turn it on? I'm still getting all my POI alerts with it off so what purpose does it serve? I looked in the owners manual and all it says is "Turns the attention tone on or off". Duuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Thanks!!

Multiple POI Files
OK So I had one POI file running in my Garmin nuvi660.
Over the holidays since we were traveling up the interstates, I decided to load the rest stop and speed trap POIs. Well, now that I did that, the original POI files dont work !
Any ideas ?

MSN and nüvi 680
I am finaly in an area where my free 1 year MSN trial works. I receive all the weather, traffic, gas prices and movie times just fine. The porblem I ran into is that the mail screen displays a "thunder storm" icon. When I touch it, it says "no matches found". Then if I touch the bottom corner to view my next turn while navigating, it also selects the thunderstorm icon.

Does anyone have any actual hands-on experience with one?

Hello from a new member and a Nuvi Newbie
I treated my self to a Christmas present and bought a Garmin Nuvi 265WT. This is my first GPS unit and I must say that I love it. I didn't know the first thing about them so I did some extensive research and I am very pleased with my choice of unit.

Nuvi 660 and Treo 650 Bluetooth problem
I finally paired up my nuvi660 with treo 650. I can receive phone call through nuvi660 but I can't dial out any calls. When I hit the dial button on nuvi660 it does show red icon of phone calling but it doesn't dial. And also i hear nothing through nuvi660. and I don't see my treo 650 light up.
What is wrong?
