Mapsource - problem importing itinery to Garmin 755T
I found mapsource useful and especially faster to design personal itinary. When I upload waypoint and itinary to my garmin unit (755T), I don't understand why but the mapsource software says everything is transfered fine but when I unplug my unit and open it, only the new waypoint are beeing upload. The intinary are never on the itinary menu of the unit.
Do you have similar issues?

Updating map data on two units
I keep having problems updating my second unit. After finishing downloading (8 hours on my slow connection) and updating my Nuvi 1490T, and connecting the second unit, a Nuvi 260, it insists on downloading the data again, even though it's saved on my computer.
What am I missing here?

Convert Magellan to Garmin Custom POI File
I own a magellan roadmate 800 that died on me. I made a backup of my addresses and favorites to an sd card. Some of the locations are my favorite mushroom hunting spots and I would love to somehow import those into my new garmin 1350T. Is there a way to convert the magellan backup file to allow it to import into garmin? If so how?

885 T & SD Card
Frustrated and confused.
If I want to to save to the SD card on this Garmin 885 T, I must first create a folder on the SD Card?
What should it be called?
/Poi
Currently H:/Poi and in here using garmin poi loader is a file .gpi.
Should it be H:/Garmin/Poi
I've also seen H:/My Poi

760 - Map Offsets - Anyone else experiencing this?
Hey All,
For both the 2010.40 and 2011.10 map updates I've noticed that the maps are about 10-50 yd out of whack.
Now before you go telling me to do a hard reset, 
I've already done that a few times and I even went into the diagnostic screens and ran all those tests too.
What I'm wondering is if anyone else with a 7x0 model is also experiencing this?

New POIs
Do the POIs get updated each time you update a map on a Garmin unit? I have never done this before, but I am considering it. Thanks in advance for your replies.

2011.10, routing and Forest Roads - Initial impression compared to earlier maps
Greetings,
I imagine that this topic will be of use (and interest) to less than 1% of POI Factory folks. 
Here goes:
Many of the Forest Roads around Flagstaff reopened yesterday after being closed for winter snow and spring mud, so I took the nuvi with the new 2011.10 map out for a trip to a distant hiking trailhead I had saved as a Favorite.
Icons on map for nuvi 1300? (Dumb question)
Does nuvi 1300 not show POI icons on the map? For instance, while driving along, and a resaurant is ahead...should there be an icon of some type on the screen? Is there something I need to set to make ti do this?
