I have both GPX & CSV files on my GPS.
If I plug my GPS into my computer and open the drive, I can click on a CSV file and open it in Excell and see what is on it.
If I click on a GPX file, I get a message that it can't be opened.
Is there a way to open this kind of file to read the information.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi everybody! Im italian, so don't mind at my english...

I'd like to update the maps on my nuvi 250.
I have Firmware 5.00 and the maps are "City Navigator Europe NT 2008 [1] ALL". I have the latest version of Mapsource.

Thanks for the help!

My Nuvi 650 touchscreen has become non responsive on three occasions now. Researching the topic on the net I found references to problems with the 650s with certain serial numbers. Mine fell into that category. But, the pattern I have noticed is that when it fails it has usually been in a hot environment for a while in particular a hot car.

Hello,

I hope someone will tell me which is the preferred option when installing the Red Light, Speed, and REst Stop pois onto my nuvi.

When I selected the Custom mode, I realized that I did not understand what I was supposed to do next for the rest stop poi. So, I elected Express Mode as my default.

I have a 265W and have discovered that the pre-programmed alerts don't seem to be working. Alerts such as "external power lost", "battery power low" and "recalculating". The text to speech directions work fine as do my custom POI alerts (although those are custom wav files).

This apparently applies to the GTM 35 which ships with the nuvi 37xx series.
Direct link not yet available but get you can easily get it via WebUpdater or myDashboard.

In other threads people have posted that they have changed some of the pre-programmed phrases in their Garmin GPS' using the neat program TTS Voice Editor by TurboCCC.

Nearly everyone who makes changes nearly always changes that one most annoying phrase "Recalculating". That was the first one I changed too.

So far I have changed three.

Hello Everyone,

Does any one know if there is any way to adjust the speed of the simulation mode in the Garmin unit? I am testing some POIs I loaded and wanted to see if/how they appear along the route, so speeding up/pausing the simulation would be helpful.

Thanks,
Alex

Does anyone know if it is possible to edit the coordinates of favorites on the Garmin 265wt? I downloaded a location from Google Maps complete with phone number and descriptive information. However, I can tell from the map the the coordinates a wrong by 1/2 mile as the crow flies. I'd like to just edit those coordinates rather than create a new location from scratch and import it into the GPS.

Does anyone know if there is a map source for Lebanon? I looked on the Garmin site but no luck

I've been dragging location and family photos from my PC to my Garmin and realized that there is no need to use large filesize pics to display photos on my Garmin.

The Garmin screen is 4" by 2.2".

I edited my 12 MP photos that are about 5 MB in filesize (jpg) and scaled them down to 4"x 2.2" in imagesize and changed the resolution from 300 dpi to 90 dpi.

I just purchased a GArmin 265WT and am paranoid about theft. I live near Newark, NJ. I realize that there are many precautions that I can take. But I read about this today and thought it may be useful to others.

I created a full screen size picture file (Photoshop) that says:

I have a few routes in my Garmin 1450 in "My Data" that I want to delete.

Then I go to Tools/MyData/Delete Selected Route(s), but when I press on "Delete Selected Route(s)" to select the route(s), it turns off my GPS. Certainly a bug!

I have contacted Garmin Support about this.

Anybody experiencing the same problem?

On my last trip across the US I found myself in a big problem.

Can you add pictures of google maps satelite view to nuvi 1200?
