SD for nuvi 265 (City Navigator Europe NT 2011 not recognized)

I bought City Navigator Europe NT 2011 for my Canadian Garmin - doesn't recognize the card - what should I do

Downloaded Custom POI file content not seen in Mapsource

I used Garmin's POI Loader to download a gpx format POI file. Worked fine loading to my Zumo 660 but not to Mapsource. POI Loader finished successfully but I can't see the POIs using Mapsource Find function. My PC operating system is Vista. The POI file was installed under my user profile. (C:\Users\Jim\AppData\Roaming\GARMIN\CustomPOIs\H-D Dealers.gpi).

Thanks for any help.

Garmin Questions (tried to install another file)

Hey...I can really use some help....thanks in advance!

1) When I loaded a poi file into my Garmin, the file went into "extras" as a custom poi. I tried to install another file, and it appeared that it overwrote the other custom poi file....or I could not find it. What did I do wrong?

Web Updater Issue...

Okay, I'm trying to update my Nuvi 765T from v3.6 to the new 4.00. When I connect the unit, Web Updater tells me that it can't find the device. I know I saw this issue come up a while ago, but I never had the problem before as it always found it, and I can't remember what the solution for it was.

Nuvi 7x5 - 4.00 Update Bug with GLG?

I updated my Nuvi 755T to firmware 4.00 and have seen many issues resolved as stated by Garmin.

Then today I tried to play the audio from the Garmin Language Guide and it would not play. I have done a hard reset umpteen times and also re-installed the newest voices that match the voices in the GLG.

Garmin 1300 internal memory

What is the internal memory of the Garmin 1300?

Converting to Garmin 1450

I'm retiring my Garmin C530 GPS and replacing it with the Garmin 1450, and I've got a couple of questions.

1. I load several hundred of custom POI's on the C530. Can I use the exact same POI LOAD program that loads the C530 on the 1450?

2. Can I use the exact same .csv files that I use on the C530 on the 1450?

Lewis & Clark expedition

Does anyone know where I can find a GPS tracking for a road trip of the Lewis & Clark expedition route, or where a road trip map is available?

Updating POI on the road?

I have a 265WT and use it quite a bit. I also use many of the POI's contained herein.

I'm going on another road trip in September (PHX to KY to CHI to BOS to NY to NC and then back to PHX).

Is there a way to update POI's while on the road? I have available PC's in some motels and I carry a BlackBerry (Bold) with me.

I would need to have POI Loader available somewhere.

What say?

That @#$%!&(~ Garmin GPS

We were on a trip last Sun. having spent a couple of nights ready to head home when my GPS wouldn't turn on when placed in the cradle. With out thinking much about it I reached up and slid the power switch and it came on. We had one more stop to make at another friends house so again without thinking much I just left the GPS on.

Garmin 855 overheating

regarding the Garmin 855, I am having overheating problems and very slow start up and initializing particularly after mid morning.
Question: Should the unit be plugged into the charger all the time even when fully charger? Does this also mean uplug the charger from the car when not needed?
Thanks, David

Today I ran another search and it showed the same accident. Seems to me that in 3 days they would have cleared up the accident? How long does traffic data stay in report? And is ther ant way I cab clear it/
