Garmin talk

I load my poi's manually.
There seems to be a set pattern in the loader for each file in that it keeps coming up with a set alert pattern each and every time I load. I have to change it every time.
How/can I change this to fit my priorities.
There does not appear to be any trigger words in the file name.
Can someone shed some light on this?

So you spent the past three hours downloading the new garmin_rmu_cnnant2010_40 map update. Everything goes well and you receive a maps successfully loaded massage.

You disconnect your Nuvi from your computer, watch it boot up, only to see "can't unlock maps". Your first thought? WTF.

When i run the test in the diagnostic screen and hit inventory it shows the map i have installed along with a bunch of other things and for some reason it says failed beside it and some other things say erased. Is this a problem that i can fix, or somthing i shouldnt worry about? please help

GPS Gurus -

Which is better to use to donwload new updated maps. The Webupdater or the Garmin My Dashboard.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 200, our first GPS. Since I have found this site, we've put several POI's in it to visit.

One thing I had wanted to put on this unit was the NPS Register of Historical Places. The one for our region (South) is almost 5 megs in size.

So I am happy that I was able to update my recently purchase 1300 to 2010_40, but I have a questions.

Once the map was downloaded into the gps unit I get the following message.

"Due to file size limitations, regional maps have been installed to the connected device. MapInstall may be used to transfer other rgions to an SD card for use when inserted into the GPS unit."

Do any of the new Garmin's display the upcoming street name anymore? I drive a delivery truck and this helps after the snowplows knock down the street signs. My 200w does this but my new 205w does not

I recently go my wife a 265WT. She reported to me that on trip to an unfamiliar location, the 265WT took her on a freeway and told her that she has arrived, right on the freeway! She double checked that she has entered the address correctly.

Download and install from your myGarmin account.

Can Batteries Plus replace the battery in the 265WT

I recently moved from PC w/ XP to PC w/Windows 7.

I d/l Poiloader and attempted to update the POIs in my 680.

I followed the instructions in this post: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/85.

Poiloader freezes at the update step. I researched this site and googled it. No luck.

Any suggestions?

TIA.

I'm confused- I was under the impression you could get these files free via posting here for three weeks? OR is it true that you gotta pay? Don't mind paying......
TY

I have two 755t's. The older of the two I purchased on 1/26/09 and it has sporatic problems with the usual 7x5 touchscreen issues. I decided to send it to Garmin before my 1 year is up, and after checking on my RMA number today, the status shows returned. It does not appear that they have replaced it with another unit because the exchanged serial number is my original serial number.

I have the 765T, and recently bought the 265WT for my wife. I found I rather like some of the voices on the 265WT. Is is possible to transfer the voice files from 265WT to 765T?

Hi

Will driving in the hot Atlanta sun for long periods of time affect/damage my Nuvi this summer? I keep it attached to the front window just above the speedometer. Sometimes I'm on the road for four or five hours. Thanks.

I would like to download the red light camera alerts on my 765t but I am not techno-adept. How do I do it. Can I just download for my area or state or do I have to download the whole file. Thanks.

I would like to make some proximity alert POI’s how do I do that? I have garmin map source, can I use that program to make them and then load them from their to my nuvi 765t? can i also set the proximity to 1/2 and 1/4 miles? Thanks for any help
