Garmin talk

Hi newbie to GPS

Have a couple of questions possibly some of them are stupid.
However will never know if i dont ask.

Is there a garmin nuvi 260 manual anywhere most of it is pretty straight forward but be nice to see any hidden stuff i dont know of as yet.

I just transferred poi files to my 650 using the poi loader but nothing shows up on my unit

I have a garmin 550c. Is there a way to activate the traffic alert without having to register with garmin?

I downloaded 1700 POIs to the 750 but only about 50+ can be displayed/selected on the 750. The manual says go to tools settings proximity points but that option does not exist. How can I access all of the POIs?

Is there an easy way to update the Currancy Converter in the 660?

Interesting though strange. I have a c330 and c530 both are great at what they do best. That is guiding you to various locations. In planning a trip from Northern Virginia (I-81 corridor) to Bainbridge Georgia. I put the destination in the 330 and got the mileage and saved the trip. My wife likes to look at a map so I entered both directions into mapsource as waypoints.

Simple question, can a Nuvi be charged from a computer's USB?

Thanks

Greetings,

I am looking for information on editing the builtin POI Database on my Garmin c340.

I know you can upload your own POI's but that isn't what I am looking to do.

What I want is to maintain my own database of POI's. I want to update it as new restaruants, stores open. I want to delete POI's from the 6 million that are of no interst to me.

I found a soft-sided electronics case last night at Cabela's that a 200W fit inside perfectly...

Probably for a PDA, but it works. It cost right around $10.

The code inside the case is PC3610-048-005 "Digital Assistant"...not sure if that is the item number or not...found it in the camping section.

I cannot get the 'Weather Advisory Warning' icon (Cloud w/ 3 lightning bolts) that is present on the map screen just below the + sign on the right side of the display to go away. I have a good MSN Direct reception 99% of the time. When I touch the icon, it says 'no data found' and when I exit that screen, the icon stays visible??? I've tried reseting my Nuvi 680 but the icon still is present?

Is it possible to get a nuvi 260 to display the exit numbers on the interstate as you approach them instead of just showing the names of the streets that intersect with the interstate at the exit ramps?

i have nuvi 200. the problem i'm having is i can't get a satelite signal and i keep gettin a screen saying up dating firmware. after the update it still doesn't get a signal. i have the 3.60ver does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Im still with this issue. Can someone tell me how to activate the male voice in the Garmin Nuvi 200. It only let me change it to another language. It doesn't have an option for male or female. Help Please

I just got mine today, and installed. I thought I could chart custom routes and feed it to the unit.
But all it does is save favorites?
What can the mapsource used for?

Is there any issues deleting files that don't really have any use to me? I'm talking like (text and speech) language files and that sort of thing?

These units come almost completely full of files, not much room to do anything with.

Thanks

I have made a redlight file and was able to up loaded with the loader,I turn it on and it's in the alert file then I turn it on later and it's missing...HELP!!!There is no alert or warning when driving.

HI
I brought GARMIN 660 recently it has a default option
WAAS/EGNOS = off. can some one let me know what is this option ? do we need to turn it on in order to function 660 to work effectely

On Garmin Nuvi 650: I recently used the software from Garmin - POI Loader and added some POI files that started as CSVs on my computer. In the directory with the CSV, I placed a BMP with the same name. When viewing the map on the Nuvi, at the POI location, there seemed to be two icons competing for the space. A dot, like when there is a POI, and the icon I uploaded with the POI file.

I will be taking a trip to Hawaii in a few months and was wondering if anyone has used their GPS on the islands. The Garmin website shows that the coverage map for City Navigator NT (North America) is "provided using unverified government data". I was wondering if anyone has experienced any problems there. Thanks and have a Merry Christmas.

Has anyone else had any problems with the nuvi 760?
