Displaying Custom POIs

I have searched the forums and different links with conflicting answers. So, to the specific question.

Is it possible to continuously show all custom POIs on the nuvi 855 in a similar manner to the built-in POIs?

Does anyone know how to input coordinates into a Garmin Nuvii 1490T

Got my new Garmin, should I update maps yet?

Just got my new Garmin 255WT (Best Buy Black Friday deal). I haven't powered it up yet...I read that for the first 60 days I can get one free map update?

Garmin 765T SDHC ?

Does anyone know if there is a certain class level needed for SDHC cards in a 765T? I had an unrated SDHC card that went bad. Should it have been a class 2, class 4 or class 6 or does it not matter as long as it is SDHC? I need to get another one and there is a price between the different classes.

Phantom Favorites

I've owned a 200W as well as my current 855 and I've noticed that they both seem to save a lot of searches into the Favorites section. I work as a hotshot courier so I search for around 40 plus locations a day and I very rarely save any of them as favorites but I notice at the end of each day that there are at least 10 new favorites in my file.

FM TRAFFIC OR MSN DIRECT?

I recently purchased a Nuvi 255W and my daily travel time to work is usually 1 hr-1.5 hrs. around 40 miles each way. Would it be wise to purchase either FM Traffic or MSN Direct? if so, which one would be better suited for me?

Using Garmin's TOPO 24K Maps with a Nuvi 255W

Howdy from snowy Nebraska!

I like to hike and I am interested in getting Garmin's TOPO Maps for either the Northern Plains or the North Central part of the nation and wonder if anyone has some experience using these with a Nuvi 255W. I'm am wondering if they are worth the price.

My big questions are:

Constant display of rest areas on 255WT

Have a 255wt and old sp 2610. The 2610 will show rest areas as I travel whether I request it to or not, as long as I am under (or is it over) the 8-mile zoom level. I would like the 255 to do this as well. I have downloaded the rest area POI database and installed it, but I still do not see a constant display of rest areas. Is there a way to customize the display to acccomplish this?

Garmin 255W

I recently purchased a Garmin 255W. Are there any maps that I should upload other than what it came with?

Alas it was good while it lasted

Well I did it. I was heading to the car the other morning and in doing so I was juggling the items I needed for the day and wouldn't you know it, I had my C330 on the top of the pile and missed it. It hit the ground hard, never to recover )-; Good news is I was able to find a C340 on CL for cheap and purchased it.

Symbols for Favorites

Everyone probably already knows this but I was playing around with the new nuvi 205W because I didn't like the icons from the custom loaded CSV files disappearing unless you were zoomed in to 300-500 feet. I noticed the symbols for the manually loaded Favorites were visible when zoomed out.

Which POI files should I download for nuvi 255wt

Hi I just bought the nuvi 255wt. I am new to this. Any suggestions to which POI files I should download? I live near NYC are there red light camera POI files I can download? I am a little confused with how this all works. Thanks

Gps! ask where to go and get there! Best of all, what we need is to have accurate pois to reach all destinations

I got my first Garmin street unit. And things aren't so great.

I got a Garmin nuvi 1300 last Thursday, 12/3/09. $149 and free shipping!

Went on a trip Friday, I really like the unit.

On the way back at about 2 PM today, Sunday, the thing goes blank. It's dead.

The light on my car charger is on. I don't see a reset button on this thing.

Garmin Nuvi 255W - custom POI subfolders?

Just got a new 255W for my daughter. Downloaded "Fifth Third Bank" poi file to computer C:\download\nuvi\Fifth Third Bank\ . When I use the poi loader however, the 1301 bank locations appear on the GPS under Extras\Custom POI instead of in the subfolder Extras\Custom POI\Fifth Third Bank.

I tried listing the file location on the POI loader as
