Garmin talk

I have been surfing gps stuff since I bought this nuvi 350 in May. Yesterday I figured out how to use google's send to gps, but i discovered when i go to favorites and find a "sent" location, i only see the name and coordinates for the location.

I'm getting better but still need a little information. How do you start a route that you have saved and then include the POI for Rest Areas and State Parks and have them all work together. The route would be loaded from My Data>>Import which puts it in the Tools>Routes. So you start that and then how do you start the other from Where To> Extras> Customer POIs?

(I hope this isn't a duplicate, I haven't seen it covered previously)

Garmin has a 72MB download and I found it will install the WW basemap on the Nuvi 360 and I suspect other Garmin units. The actual map itself is 31MB. It took quite a while to load.

OK, so I went to see what new Garmin vehicles they have and now there are planes on there.....(I've never seen them list planes before).

When extra POI files are loaded into the Navigator 350 does it modify the existing file or does it add it as a seperate file?

I am not sure why this is so. I connected the unit to my laptop, and the Communicator test page said it was connected.

Then I tried to do as they said, have the unit on (it is listed in MyComputer as GarminNuvi E drive) And then I ran Webupdater.

It looks for devices connected and says it "found some devices," but none which would qualify for updating.

Was wondering if i can add sounds to my 530? I have a 580 and it works for the poi's i loaded but i can't seem to get it to work for the 530.

I have finally come to a point where I want to listen to audio book through my Garmin 350.

I searched and searched and have not found what I was looking for in POI Factory files. So I am asking for help.

I am wantings to listen to audio books (in mp3 format) that I have downloaded and put on my SD card under the folder Garmin->Audio Books.

Just installed the Kenwood DNX 8120 with Garmin GPS built in. Do all Garmins fill the screen with information and not just the map? I just want a full screen map when I am driving around. Is that too much to ask for?

I've been watching the satellite page on the Nuvi 880 while it is mounted in a north-facing window of my home. (I used to watch Windows defrag details too...)

Since I upgraded my 760 to the 2009 maps, it has been frequently locking up on me. It completely stops responding to everything other than a reboot.

I have spoken to Garmin about the issue and they are willing to swap out my unit for a new one.

However, I was just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this issue?

They just posted some new vehicles. Several planes and a Helicopter!

During the past few months of owning my nüvi I have had proximity alert POIs for coffee shops set at 4000 ft. However, the bong-bong default alert seems to be inconsistent when it comes to pointing out an establishment well within that distance. Granted, at times it's a relief not to hear the alert because in some areas there seems to be a shop on every block.

The biggest shortfall of custom POI's is that they currently cannot be combined with the built-in POIs.

I'm sure there is a way for Garmin to program the software so that all POI's can be combined.

Should we start a petition drive to ask Garmin to make this a priority for the next software upgrade?

I'm having trouble loading TOPO 2008 on my nuvi 880. MapSource detects my 8GB microSD card just fine. It even places the 5GB gmasupp.img file on the card. However, the nuvi does not load the map. There are no errors. I've gone to the tools->system->map->map info. There's no entry for my TOPO map.

If ya have any ideas, please help.

thx,

Hello out there.
I have a Garmin Nuvi 760 and I would like to know if someone can ell me what the difference is between .gpx and .csv files? Is one better than the other?

I could use some help in removing alerts.

I have down loaded some of the POI files from the download contributions page, which were kindly contributed by others. Though, pleased with the POI’s, an alert status was accompanied with some POI files. That is, when close to coffee shops, Deli’s, stores, etc., the alert alarm sounds. This is annoying.

Everytime i try to upload a file to my Garmin Nuvi the poi loader says the folder i have selected does not have any data files in it. Please HELP

Since the 350 now appears in the products being discontinued, I think the 5.60 version might be the last supported update?
