On my C330, no matter how many POIs I load, the "Custom POI" selection on the screen will display only the last one I loaded. Others seem to be in the unit, just not dispayed as Custom POIs.

Normal? Should I be concerned?

Wow! I have a LOT to learn. Bear with me please!

Hi,

Just bought the Nuvi 350 and find the POIs very usefull for information not included in the maps included with the GPS. However, when I do a search by SPELL NAME, it does not include the the POIs in the search results. For example, I have created POIs for FedEx in Kansas City Area, but when I search by SPELL NAME it only result in the FedEx at the airport ommitting the 15 or so FedEx POIs that are closer. Is there a way to include the POIs in the SPELL NAME seacrh? Let me know.

When I view a favorite location in map view, I can select "go" or "set Location"

I know what "go" means what does "set location" do?

Great site! Sorry about the newbe question

I have the 330

What exactly is "Safe Mode"? All the manual say is it disables functions that require significant user operation. So what functions does it disable in safe mode?

Hi all... I just got a C330 for Christmas and love it. But I was wondering if there was a way to bypass the opening "I AGREE" screen? Thanks for any help....

What is the memory capacity of the Street Pilot c330?
The specs online just say indefinite ans I know it's not unlimited because it's still mmeory even the Hard Drive Based GPS units have storage limitations.

What's the most economical card for the nuvi 660 I.E. $/storage capacity?

Found a new use for an old product. I have experienced some problems with the FM transmitter going across bridges with interference, etc when listening to audible books.
I had an old cassette cartidge that allows a device with a headphone jack and a cassette player to play through the stereo system - plug this into Nuvi's headphone jack and insert cartridge in the cassette deck and you are good to go. It doesn't work unless you are listening to something - that is not just traffic directions - does not have enough activity for the cassette to stay connected.

Is there a way to tell the Street Pilot 330 to avoid cretin segments of a route so it will take an alternate route? I planned a trip to Ohio from NC and it wants to take me take I85 instead of I40 and I40 is better because I85 is only 2 lanes and has more local trafic, it also wants me to take business 40 instead of staying on regular non business 40 which although regular 40 is longer it's better because I avoid the congestion form business traffic on business 40.

I did a search for Papa Johns and Dominos Pizza on my Street Pilot c330 and it did not list any of them. It does not have Pzzza as a food category so I first tried Italian ( and strangely it listed a Chinese restaurant) and it did not list any Papa Johns so I did a Spell Name and input Papa Johns and it got caught in an endless loop searching so I stopped it and then tried Dominos and again it did not list any Dominos.

I received a SPc330 for Christmas and I installed the drivers for it and it told me the drivers were installed successfully and it shows up in Device Manager but I can't find it under My Computer.

How Do I access it to add data to it like POIs or if possible Map updates?

Thanks

I have a Nuvi 660 and am thinking about getting a c550. Will these work with a 4 GB SD Card? I have heard that some of these models will work with sizes up to 2 GB, but will not work with the 4 GB size since it uses a different file format.

Anyone know the scoop on this?

I just got a Garmin 350 which seems to come with lots of information on stores,gas, etc.
Do I need to load custom POI files?
What are the pro's and con's?

Do I need an SD card in order to load POI files?

I read that If I don't do it correctly it will break my GPS?

Is there a tutorial on all this somewhere?

Love my Nuvi

I have a Nuvi 660 and love it. I want to buy another GPS for my other car and am debating between the Nuvi 360 and the C550. Any advise one way or the other?

Hoping to gain some of your expert knowledge on these before making my decision.

Thanks!

I just received my first GPS, I can't imagine how much this will help on business trips. I took it for a test spin today and worked flawlessly.
Two questions though...
1.) I bought a 1G MicroSD/Transflash Card for it, I have it in, but can't figure out how to save POIs to the card and not the internal memory. Can it be done through the USB Connection?
2.) The only CD that came in the box, from Garmin, was a Driver CD. Also had a yellow certificate with the unlock code, etc... So how do I utilize MapSource on my PC? I don't have the software, but the online manual discusses it. I want to be able to "plot" favorite POIs on my PC and upload to i5.

Any mods or tricks to do with the Garmin Nuvi 350?

I can save POIs to my Garmin c550. They show up under my "Extras" button. No problem. The issue I have is that I would like to group them into different catagories --"Malls" "Restaurants" "Attractions" and etc., similar to the way the preloaded POIs are presented. Can this be done?

I just purchased my c530 a couple of days ago and had been loving it. I had added some custom POI's to my sd card using POI loader version 2.4.0 and that had worked fine. Today I tried to load some new custom POI's, but POI loader got hung up and froze. After disconnecting the c530, I restarted it. After it started, a screen came up that said "No detailed maps found that support routing. The Streetpilot cannot be used without them." Now I can't use my c530 at all.

I have an icon that shows up on the bottom of my computer screen that is called gstart. Think it showed up when I got POI Loader. It says it detects when a Garmin USB is connected to my computer and is to prompt me for what I want to do with it. Every time it says there is no gps connected.

Does this program work for anybody else?

I uploaded several POI files into my c320. The POI loader only allows one setting, express or manual, for all the POIs it loads in. My question is, now how do I get the Garmin to alert me whenever I approach a red light camera or a rest stop, but not every time I approach a Home Depot? Also do I need to run POI Loader in manual mode in order for it to set the proximity alerts at all?
