The POI loader does not find my BB 9700. How do I
load custom POI files to my BB for use on Garmin Mobile?
Where are the POI stored on the BB and how are they accessed via the Garmin app.?

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know how to schedule overnight stops in MapSource? I have created a route over 2000 miles long with waypoints located at POIs where I would like to stop along the way. MapSource tells me the duration of the trip is 1 day. I don't see any options to adjust the lenght of stay at any waypoint. Also, there is no estimated travel time between waypoints.

I have been experiencing problems lately with my nuvi and was wondering if anyone has seen same and/or come up with a solution?

I've been searching but can't find (if there are any), a POI file for state counties. We do a thing on our Harley and really could use data when/where counties are.
Any thing out there?

Thanks,

is it only my nuvi 1690 that freezes constantly or does anyone else seem to have the same thing

I pulled the trigger today on a new Nuvi 1490T. If all the little doodads (cash back and rebate) work out, the net will be $188.31! I was almost going to get a 765T refurb from Newegg for about the same price when I found this deal.

If anyone is interested (sorry that it's a little convoluted so YMMV):

My refurbed 1490T arrived Friday afternoon. I did the basic start up items, took a drive and then connected the unit to my computer and tried to register it through My Dashboard. As expected, since it is a refurb, I got the message that the unit was already registered.

I wanted to see if anyone else has noticed the same problem I have been having. I have a 755 & 765 with the MSN receiver. I just got back from a trip from Miami to the DFW area, then to Virginia, and back to Miami from June 1st to June 28th. I have noticed several times, and not just on this trip, that the MSN will show traffic on my route and show the delay time, and yet there is no traffic.

When my power cord to the Garmin 255W went dead I thougt I was out of business until I could find a new one but Radio Shack had the fuses I needed to replace the one that had burned out. Now I'm back in business. Thanks Radio Shack. The 4 fuses cost around $4 and a new replacement cord from Wal Mart was $26.00

I'm new to this, so be kind. I just purchased a 1450t and installed some POI's I downloaded from the POI factory.

How do I know or how do I turn them on? I drove by a couple of POI's that I installed to test them and nothing happen. I checked my Garmin and the POI setting is set, so what else is there? What should it do when I'm by one?

I have had my Nuvi for about a week now and noticed something I'm not sure is right. When I'm taking it off the mount I can see the pressure from my fingers on the back of the unit distort the top of the screen. I'm sure some of you have pressed on an LCD screen and seen the colors distort.

A few weeks ago I remembered that I had the nuMaps Lifetime card that came with my 765T last year and hadn't used it yet so I updated the maps on my 765T for the first time. Last week we're leaving for a weeks vacation to the Eastern Shore of Va. I punched in the campground we were heading to. The 765T calculated to 99% and that's all she wrote. It wouldn't calculate the trip 100%.

I'm sure it's something easy but I can't get the loader to run in 7. I click on the icon, go through the steps and last step is click the box and hit done. I do that and the screen will disapeer after about 5 seconds. I have uninstalled and re-installed loader. I'm sure something is stopping it from running but at a loss as to what to do.
Any ideas?

My Garmin 1300 takes me on a round about trip to my destination. Is there any way I can program my way to the destination? I have tried fastest & shortest distance but both take me through back roads (all paved).

1490 T w latest firmware software. Garmin support No Help. They use scripted support not real engineers

When I use hands Free calling my party cannot hear me. I can hear the phone ring on the other end and hear them answer. They cannot hear me and hang up.

keeping the H-D dealer POI updated. We're headed on a three week cross country trip and having the latest dealer information really helps.

I have been successful in downloading POI files using a micro SD card into a DNX5160 unit which includes a Garmin nav system, and several other audio and video devices. My problem is that the POI audible alert output is in the form of a chime rather than a verbal alert although the input MP3 files are all verbal alerts. Is there a way to set up the alert output in verbal form?

I have a GPSMAP 60 CSx and Mapsource installed on a desktop and a laptop. I'd like to update my maps with a download but it looks like it will only update the GPS and one computer. Is there a way to update the maps on the other computer? Thanks. This looks like a great site.

hi. i just have a question. But first, i would like to thank those you helped me creat a POI file with sound and icons. But the thing is that when i aproach a POI, my nuvi 680 will alert me using the voice and also show the icon on the screen. But if in case i'm listening to music on my nuvi.

I have map source on my PC but I don't have any detail. The unlock codes are there,but it says map source is not installed,any help? Thank you.
