Garmin talk

Trying to download Red Light POI and install it on my 265WT. I was able to download the file (using Windows Vista) but POI loader (and I can't find where to have POI loader retrieve the file from). Any suggestions (other than get rid of Vista LOL.)

I have a Nuvi 765T that I have downloaded some POI files for and also the appropriate icons. As far as I can tell the files have the exact same name except for the extension types. I still can't see an icon for any of the POI's. I want to be able to zoom out and have any of the POI's of a specific type display. Is this possible? What am I doing wrong?

In case anyone is looking, onsale.com is selling refurb 765t for $134.99 after mail in rebate. And Garmin gives you the same warranty and one-time map update as a new unit.

I think I'm not understanding the ad in the Office Depot sales paper of 4/11/2010.

For the Garmin 1350T unit we just purchased (yes I am a total n00b) it says, "Smart Upgrade - For only $30 more get FREE lifetime traffic updates."

(first of all what is "free" about paying $30?)

I received the latest reply to Garmin's attempt to fix my traffic problem with the 765T using v. 390.

"At the moment engineering has been looking into this issue. We have not been quoted a timeframe in which to expect a fix for this issue, but it is something they are trying to diagnose and resolve.

Once a fix is in place, I will be sure to let you know."

i know these are not the same lat/long.but i wrote two seprete files using each of these formats.first one decimal degrees,second one degrees min.sec.both ways loaded in the gps fine so why convert anything.im still a bit lost

When I loaded POI's into SD card of the Nuvi 660, everything went smoothly.But when I opened the Extra folder in Nuvi 660, I got the message: No Extra POI is loaded . Check with Windows Explorer, I did see all POIs loaded into the SD card.
Reloaded POIs into Garmin, everything was OK when opening the Extra folder.
Maybe Garmin 660 not allows POIs loaded into SD card?
Thanks for your pointers

Is there away I can get my 885 to display this type of Redlight alert with the top being red. See Link

i posted pois 4 days ago and it is not up on the site yet is this the norm,or could i have been in error.it said it was saved

Can I use Wave format for Alert Sounds for Garmin 660 instead of MP3 ?

OK, I've downloaded, say, the Costco locations POI and it's on my Garmin 755t. Now, how do I use it. If I want to see if there is a Costco nearby when I'm 3 states away from home, exactly what do I do. (Told you I was a newbie!)

I am having trouble with my 885T. When I get a icon on the screen 5min back up ahead on the left side I click on it and it should tell me where its at. The map comes up and shows me but at the top of the screen you can just about make out what it says. its grayed out. Click on link to see what i'm talking about. I sent it back to garmin and they sent me another, now this one as well is doing it but not all the time.

Greetings –

Is there anyway I can post a picture ( screen shot ) to explain the trouble i'm having ?

Anyone purchase this in the past? It is $50 (plus the cost of a micro-SD card). I am not sure that it is worth it.

My gut is telling me "no"

Anyone buy it and love/hate it?

What is the current way to get MapSource? I had it on my computer, but it has been deleted and I am not sure if I can find my DVD with this.

I just got my Garmin 765t, I was looking to add the updated poi. Is there a master poi on poi factory, if not why? Seem like you just download everything put it on an sdhc card.

Second Question, does garmin update it's poi with the map updates? I noticed we still have a Miller Outpost in our area (and anchor blue) didn't they change names years ago?

I hope that someone can help me with this problem?

I live in Toronto and regularly drive on the 401 series highways which have both express lanes and regular collector lanes. Now here's the problem: everytime I decide to drive on the express lanes, my 255w ALWAYS tells me to leave the express lanes and go onto the collectors AT EVERY SINGLE express lane exit.

A little long, but necessary for explanation.

New to the GPS scene but enjoying the poi files that I have downloaded into my Garmin 1300. My question is how do I make the icons appear on my map and how do I load the sound files?

Thanks
