Garmin talk

Hi,

I wonder if anyone here knows how to enable custom POI notification for Garmin XT? The same method for the Garmin PNA does not seem to work with XT.

Maybe this has been discussed somewhat but I wonder if Garmin should go another direction? Instead of combining a gps and a cell phone why not combine a gps, a radar detector, and a satellite radio?

The pros and cons of a combination unit being about equal, Garmin's future with a stand alone unit is questionable.

Suction cup mount for my C330 does not work anymore.
Should I reorder Garmin mount or there are some better products available?
I will appreciate your feed back.

Ikmow there are other threads on this subject. i have some sources for batteries that i would like to share.

I found 2 sources for batterys with leads.

this one looks like it will plug direct to circuit board on garmin unit and splice the wires to the speakers. it has a green wire.

Just upgraded my Kenwood KNA-G510 to City Navigator North America NT 2009 its great, maps more detailed than older verisons!

I know this is a TomTom, but I think this was the best board to put it on.

Just when we thought Garmin had forgotten us 660 owners.

Bluetooth Fw 3.40

changes from v.3.10 to v.3.40
- made general improvements in hands-free operation

I know, I know, let's not stand up and applaud all at once.

My new Nuvi 265WT is re-mounting itself after I "safely remove" the Garmin on my Dell. It does the same thing after ejecting the Garmin from my Mac. My Nuvi 250W would stay off once removed/ejected. How come my new Nuvi 265WT remounts itself into Mass Storage Mode (screen with PC Tower on it)? It is a big pain to unplug the GPS USB cable during the 3 seconds it stays off in between mounts.

Garmin is advising me that a new map is available. Is their any way to disable their ad?

install Gramin c330 in computer says loader loading on gps screen but that is it. will not turn off or anything. help

y'day I was trying to start garmin 270 to get direction. But it will come upto loading map screen and quit. It happend 3 times. Then I charged it but same thing. I pluged in to auto charger. then it was stuck on loading map screen.
I then decided to remove the SD card and start it. Bingo battery was fully charged it was the sd card that was causing it. I later put SD card back and it was fine,

Ihave just made up a folder on my computer which contains subfolders some with bmp.csv.and mp3. files,others with just bmp.and csv.Now when tracking to poi in demo mode the ones with no mp3. file show icon at destination,ones with mp3.

We are newbies to the GPS world but not to the computer world. We have downloaded the POI loader and the POI file (state parks) but the file will not transfer to our Garmin. Have now tried for several hours. What are we doing wrong?
Please help!
Thank You

I noticed on over cast days that I can drive several miles before my 750 will find satalites. Otherwise it will operate with in seconeds on clear days.

I have not been there a while and was surprised to see new icons. Funniest one I have seen so far is knuckles.

Has anybody else spotted 'cool' icons?

Can it be added in a poi for an alert, the distance and time of the day, example: to avoid a trafic jam at a specific spot, like a shoping center at 3 pm or a bridge at 6:30 am...

I am running into the problem that the POI files are not loaded to the NUevi 660. New POI software downloaded. But the errror message tells me that the device is not ready. I have access to the Garmin through my computer, deleted files to make sure the mem is OK.
Has anybody had the same problem? any help?
