Garmin talk

Today the traffic service failed me. I was heading towards Baltimore and an accident severely slowed down traffic. Even southbound traffic on I-95 was slow. As I was heading home, the traffic was congested.

I received no traffic alerts. What happened?

I just added a 2GB SD card to my Garmin C330 and attempted to add a file with about 6K entries and the POI loader says there is not enough memory...does ANYONE HAVE A "FEEL" FOR MEMORY VS NUMBER OF ENTIES...6k DOEA NOT SEEM LIKE A LOT FOR 2gb????THANKS

I know this the Nuvi 350 is not designed for geocaching, but I was wondering if anyone has used one for this before? It does give the option of searching by coordinates, and I assume that if I put it in walking mode, it would still be able to direct me the right way, even in the absence of streets..

Does anyone have any experiences with geocaching with the nuvi350?

I just got my C530, and it is great. This website has been a good resource already.

One thing I've noticed with the C530 is that the 3D map can be slow to update.

For example: upon turning onto a street, it sometimes takes several blocks before the 3D map rotates, and shows my car driving "upward". In these cases, the 3D map actually shows me driving sideways across the map. It *is* showing me on the correct street, but for some reason the street remains horizontal, rather than going vertical.

Yesterday I took my Garmin on about a 40 mile romp through residential and freeway running. At no point did I encounter any tall bldgs, thick trees or anything else that could obstruct the satellites' signals.

When I first fired it up, it took a very long time "acquiring signals" - to the point that it asked me if I was indoors (which I wasn't). It then asked me for my location and then asked me to verify the time/date. Another 5 minutes or so passed and it finally said "ready to navigate". I started on my trip. During the trip, it lost satellite signal 5 or 6 times. It would "recalculate" (it said) then be o.k. for a few miles the off again.

Just purchased a Garmin C340 & set it up over the Holidays. Every time the unit powers up there is a terms agreement page that comes up. You can either tap the "AGREE" bar at the bottom or if you do nothing, the page will disappear on its' own and the boot up stage will continue. Is there a way to eliminate this terms agreement page or will we just have to live w/ it? All help is much appreciated

This is very interesting to me, but I am a little confused. I use the Garmin NUVI 360. When I go to E:\Garmin\poi, there is only one file and it is 15KB (very small). I have recently downloaded and installed over 2000 new POI's. Where are they stored?

I was looking through some of the Garmin
factory way points that were preloaded into
my c340. Well I noticed that some of the
locations have closed or relocated to a
new address. Is it possible to edit /
delete these pre-install locations?

What changes does the unit make between vehicle types of Car/Motorcycle, Truck, Bus, Emergency, Taxi?

What are the best POI's for a newbie in North America?

Thanks,

Darren

Can I convert a Streets & Trips file to a Garmin compatible format?

I purchased c330 w/ mapsource v8 deluxe. to me it doesn't have enough information in my town.
is there anyone knows how to get newer version than v8?
Thanks!

Why do I keep getting a message stating the memory is full when loading POI to a SD card in my Garmin C340?
Anyone know what to format the SD card to fat16 or fat32?

I think my garmin is not recognizing my 512mb SD card and is trying load everything into internal memory.

I didn't see anything in the manual about it (could have missed it but don't think so)....was stuck on I-77 in West Virginia for three hours and not smart enough to try it. On I-95 in Florida I hit traffic stoppage and tried the detour button - it wanted to send me 8.7 miles down I-95 (where the traffic was) and then someplace else.

Is my Garmin Nuvi 350 supposed to come with the ability to use Mapsource software on my computer? I don't seem to have that ability right now. I downloaded Mapsource, and it won't run because it doesn't detect a previous version of Mapsource. Grr.

Somewhat over a year ago, our city added a new street that is about 8 blocks long. It eliminates the right then left turns previously needed to escape my neighborhood and enters the old street (on the Garmin map) about 1/2 mile north of the original intersection.

My C330 is lost as soon as I enter this new street. It cannot recalculate a new route until I have traveled to the street it recognizes. Screen shows the icon and a moving picture but no road or the numerous side roads leading from it.

hey one question whats the difference in the memory
