330C - Save Current Location

I have tried over and over again and I can not find a way to save the current location. Frequently addresses/locations are not in the s/w and I would like to save a location so the other users of my 330C can goto them easily.

Anyone?

truck routes

i just got the garmin nuvi 750 and i was wondering if there is a way of putting tractor trailer routes on it

Transferring routes from mac to Nuvi 750

i could use a hand. I purchased the Nuvi 750 as well as the newly released City Navigator NT for Mac. I downloaded the Garmin Webupdater as well as the Garmin mapmanager and Garmin communicator. I can create routes on my laptop. My laptop recogizes my nuvi. On the left hand side of the screen, I select the route that i created and then click the "send" icon at the top of the page.

760 Stuttering Voice fixed

We went on a long trip (4 hours) a few weeks ago and the stuttering on the 760 was unbelievable. I hadn't noticed it all that much until this trip, but as the day went on, the stuttering seemed to get worse (or it just got more on my nerves).

7xx has new software update

Just check the Garmin website.
Looks like release 3.10 is now available.

POI Proximity Alerts

How do you set different distance (feet) for different types of POI for the Nuvi 760? Example: rest area, red light cameras or is it built into the csv file.

help for a newbie (can't find custom poi on my device)

I am just learning how to download and have run into a problem. I downloaded the walmart poi and on my computer screen it showed that it was finished, but now I cannot find it on my device. Isn't it supposed to be under extras as a custom poi? Please help a newbie.

POI Alert MP3 Files

Hi Folks,

Here's a couple of the MP3 files I use as alert tones for my Nuvi POI Files. Feel FREE to do whatever you like with them! My gift to you from my twisted mind! (LOL)

Your Portion Of Light Whether you are a brilliant flame or but a tiny spark matters not-for the world needs whatever portion of light is yours to give.

POI zip file

I am just getting started with POI files and enjoying it. I have successfully installed some in my Nuvi but now have seen one on bridges that is a zip file. Do I install that with the Garmin POI loader just like any other file or does it have to be unzipped (if that is the right terminology) first? As a senior citizen I am simply not up to date on things like this and need some hand holding!

POI distance alert help

I'm testing out which GPS is best to use while on the road as a truck driver. I'm currently checking out a TomTom 720 and a Garmin 750. I really like being able to set up a alert that a scale is 3 miles out on my current route. This gives me plenty of time to get in the correct lane even in heavy traffic.

Aircraft Icon?

Does anyone know where I can find an aircraft vehicle icon for my Garmin 200w? Any winged plane would do.

What should I do with City Navigator NT North America 2009 DVD?

I had a Nuvi 680, and ordered the maps update disk from Garmin. Before receiving the disk, the unit had signal issues. Best Buy offered me Nuvi 780 instead (under their extended warranty, since they did not have 680 in stock. Needless to say that I gladly accepted their offer.

What are some of the better downloads I should be looking to add? I think I would like a good Red Light Camera POI, but are there any others that are really good?

Still a noob

Can a map update be installed on more than one unit?

If I buy one copy of the map updates, could I put it on both my Nuvi 260 and 350?
