3790 & Red Light Camera Files
I have a 3790 and I know it has safety camera files. I think I would prefer to use the red light files on this site. My question, is if I download the red light file from this site how do I know my 3790 is actually using that file? Is there a way of disabling the Garmin safety camera files? Or is that necessary?

Semi-Permanent or temporary Installation
I'm wondering how much in the minority I may be. I have installations in my two vehicles, a BMW 128i convertible and a Suzuki Grand Vitara SUV that I call semi-permanent. BMW sells accessory portable GPSs that are rebranded Garmins. I bought one of their installation kits and a Garmin and installed it. It sits to the right of the instruments.

Nuvi 2xx powering down
My parents called me from the road and said their Nuvi 2xx (Sorry I forgot at the moment, may be a 205) would just power down by itself (Screen would just go black) then in a few moments would go through the power up process again, all by itself. I was with them before and this happened, and i noticed they were using their phone adapter instead of the Garmin power adapter.

Garmin 2360 lmt
Can you add an audible warning to the 2360lmt unit when you exceed the posted speed limit? Speed will turn red, but it would be good to hear a beep.

New to GPS, unsure about POI's
Hi, I am new to GPS and just bought a Nuvi 1350T. Love it so far. I am a bit of a geek, and was looking how to get the most out of my unit. I started looking into all of the POI files on here, and realized that it seems that everything is already programmed into the built in POI list. I am sure this is not the case, but what would a file from here give me that is not already on the unit?

Firmware 5.10
I was boarded this morning and ran WebUpdater and found a new firmware version for my 1350. New as long as I did not mess up the old one and it just replaced it.

Poi loader/Garmin Nüvi 760
I used to be able to load positions (.csv) and sound alert file (.mp3) to my Nüvi. Admit, last time was 1 year ago!
I am running into a problem:
The positions (WP) are loaded onto the GPS (Extra's), 1000 m alert distance, but no message or sound coming up even when I pass by the WP.

Map Color Goes Gray
I have noticed that in some areas the daytime colors of the map turn gray. I an not sure if this indicates something or not. I thought that it might be showing that it is an urban area as that is where this has happened in two different cities - but then in other areas of that same city it goes back to the usual day time colors. Anyone know?
This is a 1490T

Problems w/data in Rush Limbaugh radio station POI
I was looking at the Rush Limbaughh POI and went to the Ohio locations. I looked at three locations and two of them were wrong. The Cleveland station is shown in Gufport, Mississippi, and the Cincinnati location is shown in Fairbanks, Alaska. Makes me wonder how many other errors there are in the file.

Something new with Walmant/Sams POI?? (2 Beeps) SOLVED!
I've only used the Garmin with the New Maps twice since the Map upgrade, and first time I didn't go past a Walmart/Sams... So I'm not certain why this is happening....
But I think something is new & different with the Latest Wallmart/Sams POI..
Every time I go near a Wallmart, I'm hearing Two Beeps, THEN we hear the Wallmart Audio saying I'm near it....

Downloading to a Folder
Not being very computer literate, among other shortcomings, I have been struggling for some time trying to save a POI to a folder.
First, I set up the folder as directed.
Second when I go to the POI that I want to download, I click on that.
That brings up a screen with GARMIN or TOMTOM(?)at the top of the screen.

Alert question
Hello everyone, happy Sunday!
I've uploaded a bunch of POIs via the POIloader using manual mode. I was a very happy camper until I went looking and noticed something odd.
No, not me! 
(well, ok, I'm a little odd...)

Older 660 & Bluetooth
My 660 has held me in good stead except for the Bluetooth feature. Normally, the GPS and phone pair with no problem. However, occasionally when turned on the GPS doesn't pair up. Next turn on it does. At other times the Bluetooth disable and won't reenable, requiring deleting the bluetooth file and reinstalling. Any ideas?

Garminfone On Amazon $319.99
Apparently the Garminfone is now gone from the T-Mobile website and the Amazon price has dropped to $319.99. That is how I got my Garmin Nuvifone G60. When it dropped to a slightly more reasonable price, I bought it on Amazon. Gee, wouldn't it be ironic if they also disabled the cell part and also resold it as a GPS. The G60 was re-marketed as a Garmin Nuvi 295W.
1350T and alert banner size
Does anybody know if there is a way to change the proximity alert box that pops up on the 1350? I have seen screen shots of other units where there is a nice red banner at the top of the screen that is easy to read. Mine has this small grayish box with small text that is hard to read. If there is a way to make the red banner at the top, please let me know.
Thanks,
Greg
