Garmin talk

Hello Friends - a simple question - I already have POI's downloaded onto my Nuvi 350 - I wish to add and additional file - once downloaded onto my hard drive and into my POI folder can I download this single file as an addition to my POI's already loaded or do I need to download all files again.

I have a cvs file called Advance Auto Parts plus the icon and alert in my poi folder. When I load the folder into my nuvi 350 I cannot find it in my custom POI's. What determines the poi's that show on the menu ?????

Just bought a zumo 550 downloaded poi's (walmart) how can I tell if it was done?

I am technology challenged....Is there a detailed step by step instruction manual on how to use the different functions on the gps and how to make catagories in favorites such as gas stations etc......and can the sd card be left in the nuvi 350 with poi's stored on it and will they be accessed by the gps?

How do you really do a backup?? It isn't like windows where you select it and wait forever?

Or do you just copy the Garmin files to another folder on your computer and label as backup with a date?

What is the best procedure to do this?

When I placed the I-95 speed alerts into the Garmin POI loader, it states that the default speed is 95MPH

I changed the number to 70, Exactly what does this setting do?

Defaulted to 90 automatically and loaded by the express method would get us all tickets if we relied on it, wouldn't it?

I don't understand this setting or how the distance in feet versus the speed would be better?

Is it possible to rearrange the standard menu categories on the Nuvi 760 so that the most used ones appear at the beginning of the list.

Thanks
Alan

I'm so confused, I think my head's going to explode.

I travel for a living and make multiple stops in various cities in a region. To date, I would simply find an address on a city-map and 'guess' which stop was closest to the next one. It worked, but was very cumbersome.

Hi all. Recently purchase the Nuvi 660 ( my first GPS ) which I have now used for a trip to Orlando, Fl. I have several issues, that I discovered on the trip and I am curious if other more experienced owners have had similar problems and found work arounds. The first problem is that it always seems to pick the most traveled (congested) routes, instead of quicker less congested routes.

I've downloaded my POIs into my Nuvi and now what do I have to do to get my Nuvi to recognize them? Is there a setting on my Nuvi that I have to select or is it done automatically? Please help...

I have a backup of my Nuvi 750 that I made when it had the 2008 maps installed. Now that I have updated to 2009 maps (and made another backup), is it possible to swap the 2008 or 2009 maps into the Nuvi at will?

I'm trying to find a way to verify the differences I'm noticing between the two versions.

Help,
Garmin 2720 and MapSource 2009 is difficult enough to figure out how to use. I downloaded the POI downloader and managed to download the POI.gpi file to a folder on my hard drive. Then I find out the Garmin POI downloader doesn't recognize gpi files in order to download to my 2720.

I am trying to load additional POI to 250W but do not want to delet the one already in the GPS. I tried to look for POI file in the GPS by connecting it to the PC but cound't find it. is there a way to download what already in the GPS and add more? SO factory installed plus some more?

I got the answer that the factory one is not effected via POI loder

After using my car navigation GPS on my new 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid I really miss my Garmin. I mean I still have it, but it seems silly to have two running in the car. But for ease of use and all the bells and whistles....It's Garmin hands down! It will definitely go to use in my second car. Why don't these car makers get on board?

Question for any owners of the nuvi 7xx series.

Hi, I have a two week old Nuvi 780 that has a file named clm.nvm that is 516 megs in size. This is after running scandisk on it as per the Garmin techs.

Has anybody been able to get onto the my garmin site recently. i just got my nuvi 680 and was trying to register for 2 days now and it just says its under constuction. Anyone know how long its been like this and how long it might last?

SIRF came out with a new fix a few months ago that speeds up the acquisition of the satellites dramatically. Does my nuvi660 have this fix?

Looking for the best spot to purchase the Garmin 260. Either on line or in store. Like to get the best price. Can anyone help.

Thanks for all the info. I purchased it at www.comparemaster.com. Paid $235.99 for the Garmin 260 and the leather case. No Tax No Shipping

Thanks again

I was wondering if anyone else out there thinks that the internal speaker (volume) on the Nuvi 750 needs more volume. I realize that the FM xmitter is available, but my area has very few free FM frequencies that don't walk all over my Nuvi. I also like to listen to my satelitte radio (which also has an FM transmitter), and I can't use both at the same time.
