Garmin talk

Has anyone ever seen a railroad icon similar to what Garmin has on their site for us to use in the 760 to identify our vehicle location. ?

Hi,

Can you load pictures onto the Garmin Nuvi 200?

Thanks,

does anybody happen to have a "welcome home" sound file they would like to share?

i want to make a poi for my home and set an alert so everytime i pull up i will get a nice "welcome home".

sorry if this doesnt deserve its own thread, but i looked all over. i even tried the text to speach stuff but it sounds too robotic.

Hi everyone,

I came across this on Ebay.
They are selling it for $130.
Price isn't that bad, but is it real.
I mean, I have searched the net for any info on it, to confirm if it really exists, nothing, not even on Garmin website.

Looked all over the site but can not find definitive "how to" on using sox. Do you even need to use it with the newest version of POI? What does sox do? What directory are you supposed to put it in? Do I download plain old sox or do I choose sox-win?

Hello!

I successfully installed "CNNT2009-update" on my Legend HCx, however I have a question...

Are there any "interim" updates throughout the year? In other words, is there a possibility that Garmin puts out updates to CNNT2009-update? Or if I have 2009 on, anything new will require the 2010-update purchase down the road?

Just wondering. Thanks!

I am using the Nuvi 760.

Is there a way to get the waypoint position information transferred from the device to be in decimal format and separate fields for longitude and latitude since that is the format we need for uploading our Custom POIs? I transfer hundreds of these from my Garmin after each trip, and then I move them into my Custom POI database for future use as needed.

I can't get POI loader to load files on my Garmin 660. I created a folder called Custom POI and have four different downloads in there. when I direct POI loader to that folder and try to get them loaded on my Garmin it says there are no data files in that directory. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Ok i downloaded and istalled POI Loader and all, and it successfully installed onto the Nuvi 660, now how can i look for them to see if they are in system?

I thought i would have a separate folder in Nuvi while being able to browse for the file of "Rest Rooms" i put there

I am attempting to make an initial upload of POIs to my Nuvi 650 - either to the base memory or to an SD card..

I have about 2 dozen POIs selected.

When I attempt an express upload I get an error message: "Unable to read from the device G:/Zio River Resort.jpg"

I just loaded some new POI's and would like to do a simulation. Can I do this on the gps or pc?
I want to find out if the wav files are working correctly.

i find that the nintendo semi-hard Game traveler bag fits great for my Nuvi units. Target has it close to the camera dep. for $14.99

I will be moving from the backwoods of Louisiana to the big city of Dallas in less than a month. I don't know my way around so I will be buying my first gps next week. I've done the research, checked the reviews and decided to get a Garmin with real-time traffic capability.

I've heard that Garmin Streetpilots have touchy batteries.

Is it bad to charge the Garmin c530 when its not actually dead?

Sometimes I plug it in the car when driving even though its not totally dead. Othertimes like today im working on POIs so ive left it connected to the computer (which charges it) all day long, and it was already at full battery power.

Anyone know for sure? Thanks.

I looked for this but didnt see any thing in other forums.

my question is once you upload the pois into the garmin Do they automatically come up on the map when your near them or do i have to go into the extras option where i see they are located to use them?

thanks for the help

Aiight I want a garmin Gps cthat has Msn live and all that stuff Idont need a Mp3 pplayer but it would be nice Are therye any really good Nuvis that do all that stuff

I have a Garmin 780 which is suppose to locate my car after I have removed the GPS unit from its mount. How do I use this feature?

i dont quite remember if i have posted this.. but i remember looking for a certain place and my garmin 660 had two destinations for the same address.

is there an EASY way to see all the destinations and delete the outdated or duplicates???

I loaded several POI's from this website using POI Loader and I can see the files in my POI folder on the NUVI but when I go to EXTRAS to view the custom POI's nothing is listed. Any help would be greatly appreciated by this Newbie.

TIA for any help you can provide,

I came across this today. It looks like a great way to go for car makers. This will be standard on a sub-$16K Suzuki.
