Is there a way to see your present longitude/ latitude with a garmin C430?

On my Nüvi, I try to delete all my favorites in one shot instead of deleting them one by one.

First I delete the "current.gpx" file in the nüvi, under the gpx folder. When I power up the gps, the favorites were back, and the "current.gpx" file also.

I was wondering if you were interested in carrying TourGuide files here (or maybe you are and I'm just missing them)? I have a completed one for the Amtrak California Zephyr route. It is set up with voice prompts to announce upcoming stations when you are approximately 2 miles out. I just returned from a trip between Sacramento and Denver and it worked like a charm.

As stated in a previous post I recently purchased the C330. I'm considering dropping it for the Nuvi 260 but need more info on this second unit. Does anyone know if the Nuvi comes with a 2008 map?

I just bought the Garmin c330 on Black Friday and am not surprised that the map is out of date. After reading some other posts on here it seems it may be possible to get a free update from Garmin if I am persistent enough. Question is, will this update POI's as well?

Having difficulty loading POI Files via POI Loader to SD Drive. The Drive is recognized as the Removable G:/ Drive via POI Loader. POI Loader recognizes the CSV files in my download directory. I set the range parameters via Manual load. POI Loader then starts loading and finishes, but when I view either the Garmin or Windows Removable G:/ directory, the files are not there?

So if you could get the 350 or the 650 new same price which would you buy if you already own a 350 and are looking for a second one for the wife? Thoughts?

I just was wondering since I carry my unit with me when I am out of the car is there a cheaper alternative than buying the garmin case that says take me with the logo on the outside?

Also I was wondering if its ok to use Office Depot
screen cleaner for my screen or the walgreens eyeglass
cleaner that you can carry in your pocket.

Thanks again in advance for your help.

How do you set up a route on the 650? We have an older Magellan handheld GPS which allowed routes to be designed on the PC and uploaded to the GPS. I know you can't do this with the 650...so how do you set up a route? I have read and re-read the instructions and just can't figure it out! HELP! Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello All,

This may have been discussed before but I can't find it. I've got a new Nuvi200w and was wondering how/if I can download a track file to overlay on a map.

I'm impressed with the unit so far. Thoroughly UN-impressed with the lack of documentation from Garmin and having to figure out how the darned thing works on my own. Lucky for me I'm a dork enough to try.

I have a quesion about the Zip Code POI.... I downloaded POI file to the Nuvi but It does not show up in my Nuvi POI listings.... So were do I find the Zip codes?

I have owned a c330 gamin for a year or so. I hooked my garmin up to my computer and went to the Gamin site and checked to see if my gamin was updatable. Their site said that it was. So I went to circuit city and bought the 2008 map updates and it says right on the software that c330 will work. I am now trying to update and it says that I don't have enough memory to update it.

I was rather disappointed in my garmin nuvi 200 today. I was out of town and had to find a store and found it listed in the POI, but when I navigated to it, Garmin placed me in the middle of a residential neighborhood 7 miles away from the destination.

I get a lot of speed alerts, red across top of screen and an audible warning on my 360.

I don't have the red light camera poi file loaded but have a few other.

Nowhere in my instructions or searching the menus can I find what these alerts are about.

Anyone shed some light?

A friend of mine has nuvi 660 and has a spaceship as his vehicle, I have c580 where can I get the spaceship? I already downloaded all of the icons from garmin site, but the spaceshi is not there

I am shopping for my first car GPS. After reading a lot of reviews, I like the Garman Nuvi series, particularly the widescreen models. I do not need preloaded maps of anywhere other than North America, but I want turn by street name, Bluetooth, FM transmitter and some sort of traffic warning system.

Can anyone help me import a CSV such as found on this site into Garmin's Mapsource program? I want to load the CSV and view/edit the data in Mapsource.

Thanks

Paul

Now that the Garmin Garage is expanding with the "12 vehicles of Christmas," which "vehicle" does everyone use?

I've used the standard triangular arrow, and recently switched to the 3D arrow.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I finally got my gps-I decided on Nuvi 750. I was even initially impressed it somehow located where I lived even though it was only powered up indoors-strange. Anyway, not sure how to edit the home location as far as an actual street address. Anyway what I am impressed with is how well it knows where you are, even on an entrance ramp on freeway versus actual freeway.
