UPDATE? (nuvi 260 + 2.4.0)

I have a nuvi 260 and I believe I have 2.40 software. When I run web updater it says I have current software. I understand that I am 2 updates behind. How do I catch up? Thanks for all the great help!

Searching Near a Different City

Anyone know how Garmin sorts cities?
When I search near a different city, a list of cities, with that name, appear for the various states.
However there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason on how it lists the cities.
Some cities are listed alphabetical by state and some are not.

i.e If I type in Louisville, the first state on the list is MD.
The fifth is KY.

POI file showing alert information

I have a nuvi 200 and have loaded several poi files with poiloader and with no problem.

On this one, I made sure that I did the express upload, so no alert information should show up when I go to the poi file, but it is. I even did it twice. It shows:

The name of the company
The words "Alert Information" on the next line
The word "Distance:" and a number on the next line

WA STATE & NATIONAL PARKS

276c/376c and POI's

I'm a newb so don't be too hard on me. LOL

Does anyone know if the Garmin 276c and 376c is capable of instaling custom POI's? I tried installing POI Loader but the install program can't find my GPS even tho its hooked up to the computer.

thanks,
Jeff

POI Alerts

Does the nuvi 660 automatically alert you when you are near a POI that is loaded on the device? For example, if I download the red light cameras for my area, will the nuvi automatically alert me when I approach an intersection with a red light camera or do I have to turn on a special setting for the nuvi to give me an alert?

poi files for just deisel stations??

Are there any POI files for just gas station with diesel fuel,i have the Nuvi 680 which i love,with MSN and can locate gas station with fuel prices,but not diesel fuel,i have a diesel truck so you see the problem

Custom POI's

I have a Garmin Nuvi 200W.
I like the fact that I can create custom POI's. I like to save them on the SD card as not to use up all the limited memory on the device. However every time I power up

c330's "special" usb cable

I notice there is a "filter" <?> on this cable that ships with the c330. Does this have special significance. Will a regular usb cable work as well?

Wrong turn on NUVi350

"Turn left at" Once in a while I get this instruction, when I know it is going to be a right turn. In fact today only a right turn would have been possible, unless I were coming the other way. Jill had directed me this far, so my direction was known. This happens once in a while.

Does anyone have a clue about this?

Tried MadMaps?

Has anyone tried mad maps? I looked at the offerings and it is pretty limited. I was just wondering if anyone has bought and actually tried the product.

2.60 update for Nüvi 260

Just wondered if anyone else has updated to this version?

Computer doesn't show Garmin as a drive

I purchased a new Garmin StreetPilot 7200 a few short months ago and after loading the drivers and conecting it to my computer via USB it and the SD card were both recognized.

How to turn off BEEP

Someone please tell me how to mute the BEEP at each "key press" on my Nuvi. When adding an address at work, it sounds like I'm playing Pong. Remember Pong?

I suppose I could try to remember to mute all, then unmute after.
