Garmin talk

I have been trying to download
Culvers_V.csv (32.37 KB)

When I save it, it is an Exel .xls file.

What do I do with it when I try to use the
Garmin POI downloader; it does not recognize
.xls files.

Thanks,

Sing

Thankfully I backed up the old map ver and was able to restore it to the 2006 map. But does anyone know how to fix this error. ?

Just a heads up on this one. I am using Garmin Mobile XT on my BlackJack II, WM 6.1 (just upgraded) and a 2mg storage card. When I was using POI loader it was giving me the choice of loading the POI files to the storage card or memory. I was selecting the storage card and Garmin was not loading them. Once I loaded the POI file to memory it worked like a charm. No changes needed at all.

Time for my Nuvi to pass away folks. My wife got herself one of the new 3G iPhones and I've been comparing the map and GPS features of it with my Nuvi. The fact of not having to pay for map updates with the iPhone is very appealing! These days, after a couple of weeks of usng both, I find myself reaching for the iPhone more than the Nuvi.

I recently bought the Nuvi 270 unit. Did all my homework. Brought across a number of POI files. Some of them I decided to activate the proximity alert...by putting specs in title. I also brought across a Redlight set of POIs. Using the Garmin POI loader, I put it on manual, and for antique places, interstate rest stops, historical markers, and others, placed proximity detections on the POIs.

I just wanted to apologize to everyone that lost bluetooth functionality, that followed the directions I posted to backdate the FW on the 7xx series.
Anyone with a 750 should have been ok.

I've been in daily contact with a software support engineer, at Garmin, and he assures me they are working diligently to fix the problems, caused by the release of ver 4.00.

My Nuvi 760 tells me that my traffic subscription will end soon so I take advantage of the $60 lifetime offer I saw on the Garmin site.

I have the Streetpilot C580 that came with the MSN content. The only times I can get content is in thee locations so far in Miami.

Location 1: Inside my house. Not even in the driveway. (Small house so I can actually find the bathroom and kitchen without the GPS.)

Location 2: Inside my office at work.

Last year, our Nuvi 660 was stolen from our car in Maryland. There was a rash of break ins throughout Bethesda in that month. My error was not making a PIN code. I have GPS built into my car but it isn't as robust as the portable/pocket sized versions out on the market. However, the GPS finds the satellite instantaneously over the Garmins (which there is a latent period from turning it on).

since the tourguide alerts for my poi lock up my nuvi 760, is there another alternative available ?

say i travel on hwy I85 and i'd like to know beforehand if there is a Sam's club gas station nearby, i have my poi header as "Samsclub gas tourguige" , with all the locations in CSV format listed.
[ i can't use "specs_D7000", since i am not traveling ON the road]

Can I delete the audio books and pictures that come pre loaded into my 760 to gain some more room on hard drive, without causing harm to my unit?
Regards

Although I bought and installed the so-called 2009 Maps into my Nuvi 360 a couple of months ago, the built-in POIs and street addresses are horribly inaccurate. I have entered perhaps a dozen corrections into the Navteq Reporter at http://reporter.navteq.com (if that isn't quite correct, go to navteq.com first).

I downloaded the Garmin POI Loader and a file called Venice.gpx for uploading to my Garmin nuvi 350. I can see the downloaded .gpx file on my desktop but it is grayed out in the POI Loader.

I also tried just copying it to the nuvi but cannot "find" it with any of the standard buttons. Suggestions?

I just purchased a Nuvi 205W and I like it a lot but I am confused with the way POI's work on the device. It seams that there are 3 places where I can store POI's with repeted categories. lets say I want to add a Hospital that isn't on the default POI list.

i cant find how to use poi from sd card, not on unit

I just received my (second) StreetPilot C550 after the first one was destroyed (another story!)

My problem is that when I go to "Food, Hotels..." all searches yield "No Matches Found." It worked fine until I went through the registration process (think it updated some things but don't know what)

I had stopped with my Nuvi 260 in my pocket for 3 to 4 hours. When I returned to the car and put the unit on the mount I had lost all of my favorites, Only the Garmin locations for USA, Europe, and Canada appeared in favorites. It also asked me to register the unit. Luckly the unit had the hotel we were traveling to in its POI index.

It passed.

I have a bone to pick with Jack, my SP7200 navigator. He has been so spot on that I trusted him for the first (and last) time yesterday.

I am new to the GPS scene and i need to know how to delete a vehicle from the internal memory. I was able to download and extra the vehicle bundles and load them onto my GPS, however, I want to remove some of the vehicles that I know I will never use. Your help with this process is appreciated.
