Garmin talk

When connected to a computer via a USB cable would the battery receive a charge?

I am new to this and Springfield, Illinois has a new Wal mart Super center. How do I get the information from the GARMIn 255 to this website.
Thanks
Doug

Selecting (from Tools) the "Where am I?" screen on the 750 I see three selections to the right side of the screen. Hospitals, Police Stations, Fuel.
Is it possible to Edit, ADD, to these menu items?

Does anyone have any experience with the Nuvi 260?

Sounds like line breaks in the description for custom POIs has been a problem for various models. Is, or was this a problem with the Nuvi 255W?

I can't get my POI Descrptions to show as multi-line text. I am fairly certain I am creating the csv file correctly.

Does anyone use an external antenna?

Is there a big difference, or is it a waste of money?

Just in case anyone is looking for a Zumo 550, here's a site that offers a new unit for $899, and then includes an "instant" $200 rebate, dropping the price to $699. This dealer was actually suggested to me by someone who works at Garmin.

Anybody interested in the 265WT, tvnav.com has them in stock, I am waiting for the 765 myself.
(I am not an employee of the above or affiliated with them)

is there a way to have more than one gmapsupp file . 3rd party so they cant be built in mapsource.

I have a Nuvi 260 that I bought in June 2007.

I use it about once to twice a week and normally plug it in while in use, although my charger has a tendancy to pull out of the outlet in the car, so it isn't always charging.

When I went to NV last december, i could get 4-6 hours out of a full charge.

I was just wondering what the best accuracy you have ever gotten on your Nuvi was. With my 750, and without an external satellite antenna I was getting about 20 ft. of accuracy. With my Gibson high gain antenna plugged in, I consistently get within 8 ft. of accuracy. Considering that's shorter then my car, I'm pretty pleased with that.

I just downloaded the rest stops file and noticed that there are icons and voice alerts available but I can't figure out how to download them. Thanks for the help.

Could someone please tell me how to place MP3's on my Garmin. Thank you.

POIF Gang,
Just updated my Nuvi-260 to firmware 5.0 and noticed another update that was available called "GPS Chipset Type B."
Can someone please tell me what this is and whether you recommend the update.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks......MifferIM

today I went in my settings on clicked on the wrench and my proximity button is gone??? I can find my custom poi's in extras but nothing to turn them on or check the alert button like I used to. I have a nuvi 760. any ideas?

I do not know how to save favourites of my novi 760 to sd card ,

Can I save some of my Favorites as a POI group/set on a 760? I have about 20 or more businesses that I frequent and it would be easier if they were in a POI set, hopefully on top and not last on my POI list. In fact I could do away with most of the sets that are on it already.

Thanks.

Why is the Garmin user manual so bad? Without this site (POI factory) and other tips, tricks I found on the internet I would not be able to take full advantage of my Garmin. My Nuvi 350 has so many features and everyday I find out something new about it.
