I had no problems loading POIs into my C330. Everyone that I downloaded should up in th Custom folder. My problem is that some of the POIs are duplicated. Any ideas on how to eliminate this problem?

Just picked up today. I plotted a trip from Toronto Canada to Stowe Vermont. I want to take hwy 401 east through to Quebec then cross the border from Quebec into State of vermont then South to Stowe. My unit wants me to cross border before Quebec and cross into NewYork State then to Stowe.

I have a Garmin StreetPilot i5 and I typically use Google Earth to find new POI's which I then save and load into my unit.

How do I mark Towns that I have visited so that I will not visit them again? There are lots of small towns around here and I like to go by them when I am on my way to somewhere else and I would like a way to mark them so that I wont keep going to the same ones. I would also like to mark roads like this too. I have a c320, I wonder which units can do this, or is there another way?

Hello,

I was playing with changing the icons for my favorites list and decided I don't like the built in icons very much... (I'm Picky!) There are a bunch I will never use and others that just are not there and should be.

Is there a way to replace the built in icons with my own?

Thanks.

Hello All,

I am new here and also new with GPS. I bought my first GPS last week - garmin nuvi 350. I am just wondering if I can do interactive POI icons with this model. Its nice to know what's in the vicinity while I am driving (i.e. restaurant, etc or from personal POI). Is this possible? Thanks a lot!

I am taking a trip to Scotland next month and want to use my 660. I have looked on the Garmin site for the correct maps to purchase but am not sure which is the best route to go. It looks like I can purchase maps that upgrade the unit using a PC or purchase an SD card witht he maps on it. Any suggestions on one over the other? Or any tips on how best to proceed? Thanks.

So I had given GPS units some glances over the past. The last time I had seriously look at them the c340 was $700 and I was unwilling to spend that. Flash forward to tis weekend. I ready to go on a trip, I don't have much time to do research, but hey the c340 is $350 at BestBuy, I swing down there , pick one up, and head out on the road.

Anybody with a Nuvi unit with Bluetooth capabilities, is this feature worth it for the unit or would it be a waste of money buying Nuvi 360 or better just wanted to know anybody that actually has it and uses it with cellphone that is Bluetooth enabled?

Can somebody tell me that program that you can edit the poi locations so the name of the street comes up thank you

Does anyone have an external anntena for their garmin? I have a C550 and find that when in downtown philadelphia - In the middle of center city I loose reception... Now I resort to look at the directions when I am in a major city (NYC, Philly, Boston) before going into the city because I fear of being turned around and around like I was in Boston once.

In my wifes car the factory installed GPS has the ability to create a route by pressing something like start route now and then end route now The route is then saved as a favorite. Does anyone know if this is possible with the 660

Garmin has these preloaded SD cards for an arm and a leg Do you have to buy them from Garmin or can you use any kind of SD card that holds data?

Has anyoner tried to connect their Nuvi to Google Earth Plus? I was wondering if it was worth the $10?

I'd be specifically interested in track import. I have a mount on my mountain bike for my nuvi, and i would like to download the tracks i ride to google earth just for fun.

anyone have any experience with mounting the Nuvi via a vent mount? any recommendations?

WOW, I can't believe what happened today going through the Detroit tunnel. I live across the river from Detroit and have made this trip many times with my Nuvi 350 . All other times after entering the tunnel, within a few seconds I get a warning that the Nuvi has lost sat.

I bought the c550. Understand POIs and how to upload.

I'm not sure what "Mapsource" is on the Garmin Product and what is it used for. Also what is difference is Waypoints to POIs?

thanks if anyone can explain what Mapsource is (and do i need it?

I was wondering if anyone can comment on the usefulness of the gas price information from the Nuvi 680. I subscribe to 3 gas price services on the internet, MSN, Motor Trend, and Gas Buddy. It seems to me that the information on the MSN seems the most out of date-meaning that the prices posted for the stations hasn't been updated in 2-3 days. Can the 680 users please comment on this feature?

I'd love to hear feedback from Nuvi 660 users concerning their opinions of the 660's integrated FM TMC traffic receiver info vs. the Nuvi 680's Traffic Information from MSN Direct. I'd love to save $200 by buying the 660 if its traffic reporting capabilities are as good as or even better than the 680's, though the price of the 680 suggests otherwise.

Does the i5 support this?
