Garmin talk

Hello all, I have used findthebestroute.com to generate a route of 23 stops in the city, optimized for speed obviously. I exported the csv, but this is where I am stuck. How can I import the csv file generated and make a route that the gps will then follow.

Thanks for the help and sorry for what I'm sure is a basic question, I did try to search around first, promise!

In many threads, we have speculated how far off the road being traveled will a POI trigger a sound alert. I decided I would try to find out empirically.

My wife and I each have a Garmin nuvi 360 and I was wondering if there was a way to combine our favorites between the two. I want to sync them up so that they're the same. Using two different cars causes each one to have different favorites on them.

Thank you,
John

I have a 255WT with the GTM25 FM Traffic Receiver. Recently, the metal end that plugs into the back of the GPS was damaged. Being that the GTM25 is so expensive, could I snip the end off of a standard vehicle power cable and splice it on the end of the GTM25?

Recently, the "low battery" screen has been popping up on my Nuvi 765t when I am driving. The Nuvi seems fine but there appears to be something wrong with the power cable hooked up to the bean bag mount because it happens every time the Nuvi is moved or jostled. Today, it kept on giving the message "low battery" and even when I pressed "yes" to stay on, it powered off.

My 200W was in need of a map update. Stumbled on this on the Staples Website 265WT for 129.95.

I just purchased a Nuvi 265wt last month.

I use it for making about 10 via stops and then taking me home.

I first enter my destination and then enter about 10 vias.
This seems to work fine except my route is far from optimized. It will route me in a route that takes me back & forth. I can tell from looking at a map that it is taking much longer than necessary.

How do you delete favorites on a Garmin 1450.

I just downloaded my first POI file to my Garmin Nuvi650.

POI Loader created a folder called 'Custom POIs' under menu option 'Extras'.

When I download my next file of POI's...say National Parks...will POI Loader create another, and separate folder on my Nuvi, or will it lump all POIs I download into just that one folder called 'Custom POIs'.

Hi

Got to admit that I’ve been away from the GPS scene for almost two years, after a long very long trip in 2008 I parked my Nuvi260 in a drawer and haven’t been around the POI-Factory to keep up with the newer models and features.

Some of the POI files will not show a GO selection when I select the POI. I have a Nuvi 1300. I just reinstalled the software and updated the map...still the same. We have two other Garmins and have no problem. Thanks for any help!!

Not sure if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I've noticed that after my Nuvi 755T has been plugged in for anything over half an hour or so, it gets pretty hot. Not hot enough to burn me, but hotter that I would think is normal.

Is it typical? It seems to work fine, but it just seems like its operating temperature would be a little lower...

I have a 1490T and sometimes when I'm driving on the highway a little pop up windows asks if I want to switch to pedestrian mode. I have the latest software installed. Why is it doing this?

I just bought a 1490T. I installed the software from my.gamin.com. My computer will not recognize the device. It chimes on, then chimes right back off. I am at :MY DASHBOARD;SCAN FOR DEVICE. It says no device found. Can someone get me going? I am using XP.

Walmart has Garmin nuvi 855 4.3" Widescreen GPS with Speech Recognition for $98 with free site-to-store shipping, otherwise it's $1.97 to ship to home.

I used my nuvi today to save the GPS coordinates for a few personal points of interest to my nuvi's Favorites folder. I accomplished this basically by standing at the specific POI, touching the screen in map mode, and using the Save button.

At Staples this week...
