Garmin talk

trying to get a new poi on the site and it wants a log/lat. number in decimals ,i typed in as it is on the gps and it wont take it ,it say it must be in usa or canada ,any suggestions?

I called Garmin to get the latest map update on December 31. They put the order in. I checked on the status last week, they told me it would be at least a month before it ships. How can it take that long?

hi, I was just wondering if anywone else has had this problem, I turned my nuvi 200w on the other day and I could not get past my password screen. upon a closer look, the touch screen was acting up!!

Just when I thought that I had this figured out, I found again that I don't have it figured out. I created a poi file with 387 rows in the *.csv file, but only 24 show up when I go to Custom POI files and open it and "arrow down" through the listings. Does anybody know why? I have a nuvi 200.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I have a 530 and asked for and received a copy of the 2008 map update. Because I need to have both the US and Canada I wanted to load Canada to an SD card. Before I erased the existing maps on the GPSr I wanted to be sure that the new maps would include certain highway updates. Here is what I found on the latest map source (Dec 4, 2007):

When was the last software update for the 360's released?

Has anyone figured out how to boost the volume of the Garmin sound files? Even at 100% they just aren't loud enough although my recorded MP3's are plenty loud (not that I usually listen to MP3's on the little tinny speaker.)

Thanks
JM

Below are 3 tests that I ran on the nuvi 750 to better understand quotes, commas and line breaks. The CSV file is shown followed by the resulting single line and full display on the nuvi 750. The results may vary on other nuvi’s due to screen size and other factors.

Test 1

-117.22316,32.7257,Holiday Inn San Diego Located by the Water,"4875 N Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA, 92106"

Can someone fill me in on where the phone number goes within the format of a .gpx file?

I have sort of figured out how to create POI files on my PC and then inport or install them on my Zumo.
I would like to have mapsource be able to utilize these POI's but can't figure out how to get mapsource to utilize them.
I can make mapsource create POI's but can't figure out how to make it use POI's it did not create.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi i recently got a garmin 650 , am headed to hawaii in april and want to take my gps with me, I am wondering if it has the maps of oahu, or do i have to down load from garmin site thank you

Hi
Could anyone please help me.
I have downloaded ximage, however the program (ximage)will not find my nuvi. All other programs are Ok, and the system locates the nuvi automatically etc, but not ximage.
I am using vista and wonder if this has anything to do with it.
Cheers, Rod

Anyone know when did Garmin put out the 2008 map on their GPS? My Garmin 650 just dead. I press the on/off switch, nothing happen, I lost the regristration code and did not regrister in Garmin's wed site. I need this information to convenance the Garmin Support person that my GPS is less than 1 year old.

Any Dunkin Donuts POI in NY?

The favorites list is sorted by distance on my 260. Can this be arranged in alphabetical order instead?

The other day I was looking at my trip stats and noticed that my max speed was 147 mph. My GPS has only been in a Suburban and a hearse. Neither of which can go anywhere near that fast! I wonder why.

I`ll try to keep this short. Sorry no link. Check out consumer reports, cars, more cars, gps. They have a description of a NUVI 5000 coming out soon aimed at us. Interesting. Just wanted to pass it on. Be safe. God Bless.

My Streetpilot C340 GPS is one month old. Today I used it for few hours without connected to charging device. Now it won't charge. Screen has no power even if I switch it on. I tried charging through USB and car lighter charger. But no success. Does anybody have any idea.

I am new to GPS, just got a Gramin 650 few months ago. When I set my GPS to TTS mode, it always say "Take left or right onto I-xxx East" for every freeway entrance in here. When I change to Non TTS mode, it know the freeway entrance is on left or right, for the same freeway entrance. Does the more expense GPS has this problem?
