Day Planner on Micro Card
Is it possible to download a Day planner to a micro card and view on on my nuvi? I guess I am trying to turn my Nuvi into a Palm. I know that I can send from my computer to my Palm. I am just thinking.

Which is better FM Traffic or MSN?
I have fm Traffic receiver which was included with my Nuvi760. When my free trial expires should I sign up or save up for a MSN receiver? I am in the NJ/NY/Philly travel area.

Garmin "Extras" on Nuvi 660?
Love my new Garmin 660. But, was curious... when I click on the EXTRAS icon/button on the Garmin - it tells me 'No Extras Are Installed' and sends me over to the /extras URL at the main Garmin web site.
But what 'Extras' can I actually install from this site to my model 660? Sorry, but I'm new to all this. I see some 'Games' there but none appear to be compatible with my 660.

New Garmin owner
Hi all,
I have been scrolling around checking the site out.
I just bought a Garmin C550 yesterday. Any helpful hints or tips I should be aware of?
I'm a newbie with a GPS, so don't be afraid to tell me something basic.
It would appear that I had Map 2009 installed on my unit when I registered it yesterday. Hopefully that's right.

How to load POI files
For anyone who is having trouble or just wonders how to load a POI file to there gps this may be helpful.
I have searched the site and did not find a post for this "how to" but it may be somewhere..
First have all of the files to be loaded in one folder i.e. (My POIs)
Have the folder some place you can locate it easily.
Next make sure the files are named identically.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. I tried to use POI Loader to install some POI files I've downloaded from here, but I can't see them on the map after I've installed them. Did I do something wrong? I tried searching the forum before I posted. Sorry if there's already a post about this. Thanks

Upload mp3 Alert files to POI-Factory
Nubie here...
I have an mp3 alert file that I made for Skyline Chili Restaurants that I thought I would upload to add to the Skyline POI area but I can't figure out how to do it. I tried using the poi uploader but that only works for poi and gpx file extentions.
What to do...What to do?

Hacking your Nuvi
I am new to the Garmin world but am surprised to see how little extra hacks there are to run on the nuvi. I brought a sansa mp3 player a couple of months back and was pleasantly surprised to find a program call rockbox that turned the unit into a dual boot device. The software added a better video/mp3 player and many games.

I'm all set for Scotland...I hope
I'm a new Nuvi 660 user and really like it so far. We leave for 19 days in Scotland tomorrow and we're taking our Nuvi. I've got the UK maps on SD card and I've listed as favorites all the B & B's we're due to stay at. I"ve downloaded some POI's of castles, distilleries, etc.

Point of Interest alert location
I have two questions I am tring to answer.
1- How do I get a POI to alert when it is not on the exact route I am following. Example if I have Costco as a POI but it is 2 blocks north, and I have set the prox alert to 5000 ft, it will not alert. If I am on the street that costco is on it will alert.
