Garmin talk

Fist I would like to thank everyone that helped with my problem,POI Loader 2.5.2 not working. I did figure out the problem for anyone else not being able to load POI's using version 2.5.2. You have to delete any older versions of POI Loader that is on you computer. Once you do that and then download POI Loader 2.5.2 you will be able to load POI's

Again thanks to everyone that helped me

I need a little help please. Every time I upload a new POI it loads to my "extra" folder on my GPS. Any help with this? Thanks......Drew

Going on my first trip tomorrow with my Garmin 660, from Lafitte, La. to Windsor, IL and then to Branson, Mo. Maybe I won't get lost and have the wife screaming at me.

HA! HA!

I've just loaded the 2M Repeater USA list into my Nuvi via POI Loader.

I ran into an issue where the software could not "find" my device. Strange because the Garmin updater had no problem at all. I simply created a folder called POI on the SD card and loaded them there.

I think I read in a post here that if you name a file with either a number or a @ with a number (I don't remember which) you will get a speed alert if you are exceeding the speed of the number. Would the same hold true naming a folder? See examples below...

Ok, rookie question. I made custom POIs for all my credit union branches and atms. I created a file in my POI file and titled it "City Credit Union". In it I created 2 files one for branch locations and another for atms and saved them as a .csv. I ran the POI loader and it won't load it on to my Nuvi 200w. What did I do wrong??

Need Help. I downloaded the latest version of POI Loader and it looks like it is loading but stops short of bringing up the screen to load POI's. What am I doing wrong?

I have a Garmin Nuvi 350. Someone has given me a route file in gdb format. Can I convert it to csv format so the POI loader will load it onto my 350? If so how do I do this?
Thanks

At what point does one have permanent status or is it necessary to always have 3 out of 5 weeks.

I've got a bunch of POI's loaded and read about how to get custom alert tones on a nuvi 200 (achieved with success!), but I can't see my Custom POI icons when browsing the map. I did everything right loading the icons because the icon shows up when I get directions to a specific location, or when I save that specific POI as a favorite.

I think I'm either being dense or I don't remember my Earth Science (probably both). I'm looking at Google Earth and I see a cemetery in Lowell, IN well over 200 miles from me. I see the Lat & Long given at the bottom of the page as Degrees and Minutes ie 41º 22' 40.80 N. Now I do not know how to convert that to a number with 5 or 6 decimal places to put in a POI file.

Hi
My wife (who is usually incredibly careful) managed to lose my (our?) Nuvi 370 on a business trip. There are other boards to discuss how she should repay me, but on this board, am curious

a) any ideas on when new Nuvi's are likely to be introduced

i downloaded a .csv file and my computer said it could not open this file. I dont understand. help.

Has anyone tried installing the downloadable games from Garmin on a 750? The site says they're for the 8xx and 5000, but I was curious, and didn't want to spend the money if we knew they didn't work. Thanks!

hi i just got a garmin 680 yesterday and was wondering is there anyway to get different voice prompts for that unit like celebs or tv characters etc.?

This post could have been included in any number of other posts, Costco prices, 2009 update, or prices dropping, etc., but I decided to start a new one.

What a revolting development this is. I ordered a nuvi 760 from Costco and it arrived via UPS yesterday.

First Good Morning to all POI Factory & Garmin Buddies from HOT TEXAS - now a ?

I kind of like what I have seen commented on about the Garmin beanbag mount.

Does anyone in Ontario have some idea where I could purchase one? I know I could buy one through eBay or some other online location, but if it is coming in from the USA, then there is all the hassle of duty and taxes and all that stuff that I would rather not deal with.

Thanks for any help you can supply.

Help, I am new to this. I recently purchased a Nuvi 750 and I could find no place in the menus to turn alerts off or on. A Garmin tech advised me that the 750 will handle alerts and that the normal place this menu would be found is under "tools" "settings" and then the down arrow. Is is not there or anywhere else.

Are POI (not favorites) tied to maps? In other words, if I switch maps (ie:world maps or Euro maps)will the POI still work / show up?
