Garmin talk

One one occasion, it never picked up a satellite for an entire 15 min. trip. Next time I went to use it, same thing. The garmin website says one should not worry if it takes up to 20 min. (which sounds kind of hokey to me). It used to take only 1-2 min.

Hi all, don't know if this is the correct place to ask this, but i need some help !! I have just bought a brand new Garmin Nuvi 1490t but it does not support mp3 files and i wish to install voice alerts. The only way i can do this is to tx the files to WAV format and use POILoader Beta 2.4.0 to do this. Has anyone got access to the file and if so, can i have a copy.

Many thanks in advance.

Bought many items here and never had a problem.

Where can I buy a road map for Argentina for my Nuvi 250?

Does anyone know how to take a track and turn it into a route? Yes, I did actually read the manual and couldn't find an answer (MM, I have a 755t.)

Pardon the newbie question here, but I'm a little confused about the speed alerts and would like to be sure that things will behave as I expect.

Available via WebUpdater

Changes made from version 3.00 to 3.20:

* Correct items overlapping on the map.
* Correct display of additional content in GPI data.
* Make phone number in GPI content dialable.
* All user favorites are now shown in the list (not just nearest 50).
* Correct some connection issues in public transit navigation.

Should I go ahead an buy a new Garmin 885T? Any advice out there? Thanks

Hi, I have just bought an American nuvi 255w on ebay, ( I live in Australia but am going on a roadtrip 19 oct from Las vegas to Denver, so I need the US maps) but when I go to POI, there is NO info there or icons or anything except the icon for "spell name".

here is what im trying to do on a 885t. i have searched and cant find the answer, maybe someone has done this and can help me.

i have a catagory under custom poi's called " hobby lobby " and it lists all the hobby lobbys in the usa.

i looked everywhere, including here. is there a way to import the data from my garmin 855, and get my favorites? i think it would be easier to edit them in the computer. but more so i'd like to make the garmin into a geocache device since it can grab satellites much faster than my pda. thanks

I just ordered a Nuvi 255W to replace my Streetpilot c330. I've already got a friction mount for the Streepilot. Will it work with the Nuvi, or do I need to buy a new friction mount?

There was once a post where the best $$ for Lifetime updates could be purchased from ......

Can't find it now....

Can someone post it again???

Thanks.

Never Mind, I found it (right at the top of threads!)

I have a Nuvi 350 and wanted to know if there is any limit to the number of tourguides that I can create. I currently have one for NcDonalds but am interested in creating others.
with appreciation

Invaild string, I have XP svc pk 3 with all the updates, poiloader 2.5.2, it will delete my custom poi in extras, but will not reload them. i have tried 2.5.3 same problem,

I read the thread about "Cracker Barrel and Tour Guide"
here with Great interest....
Just exactly what I would want to do with that paticular POI!!

My searching for instructions have netted me some good information, but I still have questions.....

First.... Which Garmin's support "Tour Guide" Features?
Obviously I'm concerned about the Nuvi 660....

New to the site, hi all.

I was able to load up some custom POI's and I found the instructions for loading custom sounds. Not sure if I did it right yet though.

But i was wondering if loading custom icons works the same way?

I have the nuvi 255W

Thanks.

I may be incorrect on this, but I think for the first time, the "altitude" setting of the map detail is now shown on the main screen when the map is displayed. I know I never noticed it before the recent upgrade. This certainly makes it much quicker to return to a desired level of detail.

I want to back up my Garmin. Its obvious where the POI's I loaded are stored but I cant figure out where the Favorites folder is.
