Garmin talk

Hi there, how do i set warnings such as distance and sounds for custom POI's. TOM TOM was a lot easier.

I have a Nuvi 350 although I don't use it very much, I purchased it a couple of years ago figuring that Garmin would keep the option of uploading routes like my older Garmin V never dreaming that they would actually take options out of newer products.

Whereas I'm not comfortable enough with coexisting with the visual distraction a GPS would have on a motorcycle, (1993 Goldwing SE), I could consider it for audible directions, via helmet intercom system.... Goldwing's have integrated audio, that will mute the radio on voice...
Has anyone built an interface for integrating audio into a 1500 Goldwing Intercom, and wish to share the schematic?

i find my garmin mobile XT becoming slower with use. 1 year later and its half the speed it was and getting to the point where it takes 2-3 seconds to update the map after a turn. anyone know how to fix this other than reinstalling ?

NUVI 350 SENDS ME AROUND IN CIRCLES. It seems to be looking at my way points and adds them to the standard nuvi maps and sends me around in circles. It did it in three cities I was trying to bypass last month. I've bypassed these cities many times before and the nuvi worked fine. I have reset the nuvi and it didn't seem to help. Is it time for a new one?

I think I have deleted my mp3 file on my garin cant seem to download any music on it. It goes onto J drive but not into the mp3 player does anyone know how to fix this problem many thanks

Am I having a senior's moment or did something change with the latest Mapsource?

I thought I could previously create a route and then simply Drag & Drop on part the route to another point and it would automatically create a new route.

I've just got US Topo 2008 and tried to install it on my nuvi550. but the southern stats were missing. Does any one know what's wrong?

Thanks

I have been working with a POI I am making for my vacation and now it won't open.
I am using Mapsource. The file starts to load and then mapsource stops working. I tried another file and it opened ok.

I tried Extra_POI Editor and the file won't open in it either.

The last time I was able to open the file I noticed the comment lines had hundreds of returns between each line. I was trying to delete these lines when it stopped working.

Does anyone know how I can save my file, or should I just start over.

Also, does anyone know why there are so many blank lines.

Thanks so much

I've owned two GPS's since 1991, both Garmins. The first was an aviation one (191, I think) at $1100 and the nuvi 200 was $200. Both were/are great units. Now I've been looking into getting one with routing, but have been discouraged by reading about all the problems the newer ones are having.

Is there anyway to save all my POI's on my sd card instead of unit memory?

Suppose I have several places I need to visit. Is there a way to to have Garmin calculate the optimal route to take?

How to enter several destinations? Let's say I want to visit A, B and C, in that order. I first enter A, then I enter B. Now Garmin asks if B is the new destination or via point. Neither is what I want. I want to go to A first, then B, then C.

Garmin Numaps Lifetime has dropped from $84.99 to $83.99 on Amazon.com. I am still waiting for one of those special $69.99 offers.

OK, I need help...I'm a route driver and have 15 different stops every day. That's 300 a month. How can i keep these days separate and saved on the garmin. Thanks for all your help

I have a 885 and I am having trouble entering the Longitude & Latitude of a location I want to go to. Can anybody help me with this?

I downloaded a vehicle icon for my Garmin Nuvi 350. It works great, but the color of the car is silver and I have a gold Scion Xb. I have tried to open the file but it has an .SRF extension I am unable to open the file much less change the color. Is there a program I can convert rthe file with? Thanks for your help

Greets All!!!! Great forum for Good quick info... I have a question on a 765T. Not sure if this has been asked before but I'm a little confused.. I recently set up my bluetooth phone without any problems. However, one of the options on the phone menu is points of interests then extras then custom pois under that it lists all catagories and all the Pois that I have downloaded off this site.

FYI: For those users who own a nuvi 885t, i just got
off the phone with Garmin Support and now it seems
the map update 2011.10 will be available by May 13,2010.
I guess its a 50/50 chance.

I have downloaded several POI's (Historic Veselsand others)
But I cannot find them on my GPS.
Most I can find such as Red light cameras and hotel chains and more.
I have tried to spell out the name and looked under all topics.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi there,

Does anyone here know if the nuvi 3790T would have enough internal memory in it?

I believe the 1690 has a 2GB limitation and updating maps, software and other stuffs would be a lot difficult doing it on this GPS due to limited memory.
