Garmin talk

I was trying to navigate to Super Cuts near my home from work the other day. This location has been in existence for at least 5 years.

I did a search on my Nuvi 780 but could not find this location.

So here is my question. How does businesses find their way into the Garmin Maps POI's ?

I searched for a few other business in the same business center and found them, but no Super Cuts.

I have a Zumo550 with garmin NACN2010 and Mexico maps.

I down loaded a POI for Mexico, I can't get it to show up on my GPS. The file looks like this>

Hi, there

Hello Everyone!
I'm new to the forum and I like it.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible for my 780 to read POI's from the SD Card? Thanks to this forum I was able to figure out how to load them to the card but I do not know how to use them.
Thanks in advance!

New out for download to replace MapSource is BaseCamp.

Does more, new tools, yadda, yadda.

Looking for postions of the cameras throughout NYC

I noticed this on their website today. They have put it on sale before for less, but this is a pretty good deal.

Amazon also has this for about the same price, but if you want to purchase this locally this is the cheapest I have seen it for a while.

By sliding the power button all the way to the right, locks the screen but is it suppose to also put your screen to sleep after a few minutes? It wakes up by touching it again. Is that normal?

I thought that this was an interesting conclusion: "Separate is better"

A recent trip from St. Joseph MI to Goose Creek SC (just outside of Charleston) my Nuvi 750 worked flawlessly. That was until I got to Goose Creek. The closer I got to the Navy base the worse it got. Destinations on the wrong side of the street, up to ½ mile off, turns where there wasn't a street, and so on.

Is it possible to add missing roads to the maps?

I do a bit of hiking, and Garmin already has a lot of the forest roads, but not all of them. A couple times the roads I've needed are missing.

Can you add them in with the PC software and have them show-up on your Nuvi?

Would I be better off just getting the topo maps on a SD chip from Gramin. (Has anyone tried them on a Nuvi?)

Thanks

Purchase the Nuvi lifetime maps, but seem to have problem with extracting the file.
1--Downloaded the file (2 gig) in 20 minutes with success.
2--Next step is to launch the program, but nothing seems to happen or its idle and the computer freezes.

Has anyone had this problem and determined the solution?

My Garmin POI db shows a Walmart that does not exist anymore. Can it be deleted? If I do, will Garmin push it back on an update?

My Garmin maps are sadly out of date on the my Vista HC and a year out of date on the Nuvi 760. What is the best route to take to update the maps? I am badly out of the loop knowledge wise. Hope this isn't an obvious answer. Also, are there any problems with downloading the new copy of MapSource?
Thanks

tried making custom speed and redlight sounds, but not working on my garmin xt (nokia n85)

I'm sure I am asking a old question, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.Anyway here goes. I have a 2730 Streetpilot, when I plug it into my computer, I have the option to go to garmin mode or USB Mass Storage Mode.So when I bought my update, I have to delete old maps, then reload new maps..no problem.

I have read that you can download where you have been to a computer but I have never seen any post that tells you how you would do that? Is there a method of downloading your track to a computer?

I have a Garmin 760.

Thanks in advance.

I went up north today (above the Mogollon Rim)to do some sightseeing, fishing, etc., I was pleasantly surprised to see that my Nuvi255W with City Navigator recognized all of the NF Forest roads I was on. Whenever I came to another dirt road, it would show up on the display map. Since the majority of my "offroad" travels are on NF Roads, I think I'm going sell off my Oregon.

I will be leaving for Vegas in a couple of weeks and wondering what POI files I might need as I am taking my GPS with me and renting a car for about a week.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
