Garmin talk

I have a nuvi 660. I loaded School Zone poi with .bmp and mp3 (for voice alert) files using poi loader in it.

When I reach near a school zone, it alerts me by showing it on the screen. But no voice alert, although I have uploaded mp3 file for voice alert.

Does anyone has solution for this.

Thanks.

Hello, everyone. I was just wondering if the Nuvi 650 (my first GPS unit) displays POIs on the map while navigating. I can only seem to go to the "Where To?" section and look at the POIS this way (names of the restaraunts that I must scroll through). I am able to pick a restaurant for instance, and get directions to it, but I am unable to see all the restaurants in the area on the map.

Has anyone ever had a problem with the folding antenna on a Nüvi breaking or wearing out over time from repeated opening and closing? Just wondering about the moving parts and electrical connections since I've had folding cell phone hinge problems over the years.

On the Garmin 660 it is easy to add thousands of poi to an sd card and import into the Garmin.
I have worked on a spread sheet that imports the route i am taking on a trip like from Chattanooga to Atlanta .

In a Nuvi 350,

How many lines can be displayed in a POI?
And how many characters per line?

Thanks

Hi,

Just upgraded from a GPSMAP 76 to a nuvi 750 and love it.

I was picking up a 80K BMW M5 for a client yesterday at a dealership here in Dallas and noticed that BMW is selling some sort of Garmin that looked like a nuvi 350, but it of course said BMW on the front where it usually says the brand name. I noticed though that it says it has Bluetooth? All other options looked exactly like the Nuvi 350. Which Nuvi would that be?

Garmin has updated their 200 unit once again. Use your webupdater to download.

See thread title...

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to avoid toll roads with a Nuvi 760? I couldn't find an automatic function to avoid toll roads. Is this something one would have to do manually via Mapsource? I'll be making a trip to the east coast in a few months and I remember so many toll roads that I wish I could avoid.

Purchased Garmin Nuvi 770 in Nov '07. This was my very first GPS device.

It has MP3 capability which I found it not too useful. I don't mean it's bad. Just not too useful as we have other fantasitic MP3 players like iPod and such.

Would the current files work with Garmin Mobile XT ?

As suggested by some forum members here, I have loaded all of my POI files onto my nuvi 260 one at a time and renamed them as they go on so I can update individual files without reloading all of them. The problem I have is that the nuvi only shows the first 15 or so files. Is this a limitation in the nuvi's OS or did I do something wrong when I loaded all of the files?

I have a c340 with 4.4 software and preloaded 2008 Navigation Maps. I tried using the Garmin POI Loader to install a POI file (1,800 kb) and it says "not enough room".

I called garmin to ask size of internal memory. They did not have an exact figure (DUH?) but said that the 2008 Maps completly fill it!!!!

I only have a handful of "Favorite" pois saved on the unit.

I am so exited. I have just purchased my first GPS a Garmin nuvi 200. So I am also excited to find sites like this to help me learn how to use it most efficiently.

O.K. this may be strange, but there is an area that I pass everyday I get this warning. Hmm posted speed limit is 40mph, not 2. I had d/l the speed trap thing but deleted it to try to stop it from going off. But for the life of me I cannot find the POI that is doing that. Any idea on how to stop that?

Hi, I'm new to the GPS world, having just picked up a 200W in the after Thanksgiving rush. I see a lot of discussion about what version of the maps is installed on various units, but am not sure how I can tell which maps I have. Can anyone provide some info on how to determine which version is installed.

Thanks

Hi Everyone, I am a GPS newbie who just bought a Garmin 650. I have some questions about "Unlock" with which garmin.com confused me. Please advise me. Thanks a lot.

What is "MapSource Unlock" about?
What is "Unlock Code", and what can I do with it?
When it shows that my Garmin unit is unlocked, what does this mean?

Hello everyone. As you can tell from my question I am new to the world of GPS. I recently bought a Garmin C330. I only use it locally to find addresses for deliveries. My current unit warns me at .5 mile and at turn. I understand there are some POI's that would allow me to set more warning distances than those two. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would certainly appreciate.

Will the mapsource work with a Mac computer?
