Garmin talk

I downloaded redlight and speed cameras and its been working great but,I would like to get some help on how to load icons and sounds on my Nuvi760.
I followed the webb instruction on the POI and when I tested the 760 , I did not have any change except I not only didn,t see the icon or the sound now it won,t alert with the 2 dings that it had before. What did I do wrong .
Thanks Bill

Have any fellow-owners of the 260W out there updated their Nüvi with the software Version 4.0? I did, and haven't noticed any significant changes, up or down. But then I haven't tested it that much. Would like to 4.0 hear user comments... Thanks.

Hello there,
I need some help with my Garmin 670 (not 760!). I have 2 problems:

1) I tried to add new Custom POIs via POI Loader. However, despite following the directions diligently from this site (http://www.poi-factory.com/node/8536), my Custom POIs do not appear! Not only that the Custom POIs that I tried to create appears under my Favorites!

I tried creating a wav file using PCM, 44.100 kHZ., 16 bit, Mono and used the same name as the csv and bmp files just had the wav file extension different and I could not get it to play on my Nuvi 260. Is there something else (i.e. proximity settings) that has to be included?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm trying to create a custom poi of all the boat landings in SC. So far I have done 193 on the computer but when I download them to my nuvi on 125 are downloading to it. Does my nuvi have a limit on custom poi's?

I've deleted the poi's and retried it and I'm still getting the same results.

Thanks

This was copied directly from a support ticket I had with ESRI #676246.

*******************
The GPS Toolbar is designed to work with NEMA 'sentences' which are designed to be communicated via serial, or RS-232 communication. Since the Garmin is a USB device, it is not technically supported. However, you can successfully connect to the GPS Toolbar using the following steps:

I have a Nuvi 760 just purchased in September. Note, there is no Traffic service available where I live. In none of the screens in Tools, or Settings does there appear any references to Traffic. Nor in the About screen is there any reference to traffic.

I have a thin blue line (looks like a set path) going from my house in SE Michigan to Arizona where I have been playing with simulator POI's etc.

What is it and how do I get rid of it?

Saw this posted at GPS review forum and may explain why I notice, and from other people's observations also, that every once in a while I see a much longer map loading delay. Also see why I should just let it complete and not shut off and restart.

Just made a somewhat long trip via Amtrak from Indianapolis to Albuquerque and back.

Here are the trip log comparisons I came up with my 750.
Definitions:
Trip Log - The one that is available on the 750
when bought.

Hidden Trip Log - The one where you have to
downgrade to software version 2.3 to activate.

Harley-Davidson has finally come out with their branded Zumo. I've had my Zumo 550 for about 18 months and it works great so I have no desire to buy another one. What the HD one has that would be very handy, is that is is pre-loaded with HD dealerships as POIs and that could come in handy on a road trip for service or swag.

Just tried installing this latest version on two systems. Boy, I've never had a software install act like this.

Version 2.5.2 installed in C:\Program Files\Garmin. This version installed in C:\Garmin on one system, and D:\Garmin on the other???? That is a completely differnet partition!

Anyone else notice this? Thanks

I know they have only been out for about one week,and I am looking for some imput on it. I have read that the voice is tinny on the 255 and I was hoping that they fixed that. How bad are the pop up ads? Does the Bluetooth work fine?

Hi There,

A newbie here -
Recently purchased a 260W. I loaded a speed_camera.csv file I found for Phoenix, AZ that had only three listings.

Nuvi set to 2D maping.
Garmin loader V2.5.2
Files were loaded "NOT manual"

Found under > Where To - Extras - Custom POI's -

Just got nuvi 650 from ebay and want to save my favorites b-4 updating maps, etc. In explorer, I see a file "GPX". I can't open it but guess its either favs or poi lists I've down loaded from here. Can anyone clarify?

I drive for a living. When I need gas, I will be looking for a particular station via "custom poi". How can I turn off the alerts that accompany some poi lists?

Thanks,

Hi

Hello:

I been using my Nuvi 680 for about 3 months and I just bought a Nuvi 760 for my wife, I payed for the "life time" service for my MSN receiver and I wonder if any one knows if I get a second receiver for the Nuvi 760 I can share the subscription in between the 2 receivers or I need to pay again for the second one.

Any advice??

Thanks: FRGG

I have a Nuvi 200 and all of the sudden it shows "no detailed maps found that support routing. The nuvi cannot be used without them." I have tried to find something to help me but nothing has worked. HELP!!

How would i load gpx files to my Garmin.
I have no problems with cvx files.

I turned on my C340 today and received a notice from Garmin that my maps have not been updated for such and such a time! Go and buy new ones.....
This is the first time I have seen this notice. Is this normal?
