Garmin talk

Does anyone else use a GPS chartplotter for boating? I see that others have posted boat ramp POIs, so I assume that there are other boaters here. I just bought a Garmin GPSMAP 430s (inland) for my boat and was wondering if I can find boating information just like the street information on this site.

Can the POI Icons listed on this site be used on Garmin 260? If so, How can I download the POI loader? Thanks.

i have a c330 will a sd card from my magellan color work with the 330 i think its a 64 meg card

I just joined and would like to know how can I download red light/speed cameras to my nuvi 350?

do i have to wait the few weeks to be a considered as an active user or can this be achieved by posting quite frequently in say....a week or 1 1/2?

Can i edit the names of custom POI files to my liking?? Does the nuvi 200 support custom sound files? If so, would i add that the same way as i did with the icons and actual POI files??? Thanx

I've noticed that some POI's require you to select the type download you're requesting, are ya'll familiar with these POI's and can you tell me what file I should download using a Zumo550? Below is an example:

"http://www.poi-factory.com/poifile/30014/download"

I was wondering if there is a way to search for POI files for the chicagoland area. Thanx

Hey guys, i'm new to this and i have successfully uploaded some customs POI's to my nuvi. My question is where can i go to get the 'red light cameras' for the Chicago area? Thanx for the feedback

I hate to bother ya'll with this, but my Zumo 550 will open csv files without a problem. My question is, will it also open a gpx file along with the csv files??

I download POD Casts to listen to on my nuvi 650. The program I listen to is 30 minutes long. My commute is 15 minutes. So I listen to half on the way to work the other half on the way home. Sometimes when I get in the car to come home the program restarts at the beginning, usually it resumes where it left off. What do I need to do to have it consistently resume where it left off?

I have a Nuvi 680 and loaded a second map called Fishing spots. Anyone know how to delete this map from the unit?

Is their any workaround the 10 route limit such as loading sets of routes/waypoints on a SD card and then importing or activating a set?

I'd like to have more than 10 routes on the 7xx without having to attach to the computer and download a different set from Mapsource.

After updating my c530 with CN NA NT 2008, I then installed it to my PC from (CD drive):\windows\setup .

Browsing the maps on the PC and GPS I noticed they aren't the same. A triple roundabout south of me is on the GPS, but not on the PC version.

You would think they would be the same maps as they came from the same DVD. I think Garmin has a hole in their programming heads.

I am under the impression that there is a setting in the nuvi650 that allows you to change the earphone jack to a line-out setup.

Is that true? and how do you change the settings?

thanks

I was wondering, if I load a POI file for a group of points that are all ready in the unit's preloaded database, I will get duplicate POIs for that group. So is there anywhere we can get a list of what POI's are all ready preloaded in our Nuvi's??

I have noticed that some major established restaurants are not inculded in my list of choices, while other insignificant ones are. Does anyone know how this list is populated? Do restaurants pay to get listed? How often is the list updated? My GPSr is new this Christmas - I would think it would be more current.

Anyone had success using their cellphone charger with their GPS unit? It's the same type of plug, so it *SHOULD* work

I have a set of Custom POI’s on my nuvi 750 that appear to work correctly except under one condition. When I select Near – My Current Route then I get several strange displays that include: 1. No matches found 2. When matches are found scrolling changes only the mileage and not the name. Only My Current Route has this problem. The other 3 choices work as expected.

I am using web updater 2.4.1 to update my Nuvi 660 to 4.2. The web updater finds the unit, lists the upgrades available and then downloads the upgrade with the green bar showing progress. Then it says installing.. and an error message comes up "Access Denied". The funny thing is I have used this web updater to update in the past.
