Here's some software for all you Nuvi guys and gals.

http://www.slowjim.com/

Changes from version 3.00 to version 3.10:
Improved support for WebUpdater
Corrected issue with DEM data appearance when using track-up map orientation
Improved FM transmitter frequency adjustments for European locales
Improved appearance of metadata and spectrum analyzer in Music Player
Corrected issue where scroll arrows were inactive on MSN movie review pages

I downloaded a couple of different voices from webupdater, How do I Utilize them different voices?

Here's a response from Garmin Support.......

Thank you for contacting Garmin International.

I'll be happy to assist you with this. If your Nuvi has the v.4, you
will not be able to backdate the firmware. The work around is to delete
the GPI files on the Nuvi. We will soon be releasing our next update
that will fix this issue. Please check back for the latest updates.

I hope this hasn't already been anwered; I looked through the posts and didn't see it. The POI Loader will only load csv files on a Nuvi 200 and each waypoint is a separate entry. Is there any way to load a "route" onto a 200 so that you could start at point A and travel the entire route?

Below is a link to a photo montage I took of the Garmin Model # 010-10969-00 mount that I installed in my car. It is almost invisible when the cradle is not attached to it, it is very stable, easily viewed by driver, allows easy access to the screen for both driver and passenger and it makes the GPS less obvious to thieves.

I Have a NUVI250, that came with CN2008NT. I Have City Navigator 2009 NT on an SD Card, and I'm using it with the 250, no problem.

What would happen if I copy the map data from the SD Card to the Base Unit? Would I bugger it up, or would over writing the data, replace the 2008 Maps on the GPS with the 2009 Maps, allowing me a fre SD Slot for POIs?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

I am traveling to Hawaii this week and want to know if my Garmin Nuvi's maps include the islands? I have the NT2009 maps if that helps!

Thanks!

I just bought the latest redlight camera POI file. I had some other stuff to put into my Garmin so the redlight file was not the last thing on my list. This morning I find my redlight camera proximity alarm didn't go off at a camera light that always worked with my old redlight camera file. Do I need to load the file last for it to work?

My 760 came with FM traffic service, which has been OK but limited. MSN seems to offer much more information with a "lifetime" service arrangement that seems pretty competitive.

Does anyone have any experience with the MSN services -- traffic, as well as the gas prices, weather, etc. they could share?

How can I get the list under "Custom POIs" on my GPS in alphabetical order?

Here is what I have in my POI file on my computer:

And here is what shows up on my GPS under Where to > Extras > Custom POIs

Is there anywhere that I can download more voices for my Garmin 350? Anything other than what comes stock would be good, but I was thinking something like KITT's voice from the original TV series of Knight Rider.

I have been lurking around here for a while, picked up a lot of good information, and now have a question about my Nuvi 200W. I am having trouble deleting Custom POIs. I installed a folder with the following structure...

Folder
.Folder1
..File1a
..File1b
.Folder2
..File2a
..File2b
.Folder3
..File3a
..File3b

Looking for an excel spreadsheet or any other method to convert a file with ° ' " (in one column) to decimals, the file I have has over 12000 lats and longs. Each lat and long is in a separate column.

I have recently got a garmin nuvi 760 and I see that it has something called trip log. Can anyone tell me what this is and how it is used? I sure would appreciate it. Thanks

Has anyone read any reviews of the new Garmin 765T yet?

I was planning on purchasing the Garmin 770 and found out that it has the Euro maps included. For future map purchased, do you have to purchase the US and Euro maps separately. If you buy the Euro maps, do you get the new US maps with it?
I know that I will not be going back to Europe soon but would want to keep the US maps updated. You thoughts anyone.

Does anyone know how to back the Garmin Mobile XT SD Card? I have tried to copy the card, but it will not work in my phone when I use it. My reason for wanting a copy is because the card often pops out of my phone and on one occasion I lost the card. Fortunately I found it. It would be good to have a copy of the original SD card to use.

I have both nuvi 660 and 650...just wondering if the traffic alert will work on my 650 if I switch the traffic alert cord to my 650 from my 660? Any comment?

Hi, I have a couple of questions to ask.

1) What do first two columns mean in a POI file in CSV format?

Column 1 -87.634356
Column 2 41.910481
Column 3 Best New Bakery: Twisted Sister Bakery
Column 4 1543 N. Wells Street 312 932 1128
