Garmin talk

Hello...I have saved the POI files in a folder and loaded them onto my Garmin 7200 via the POI Loader from Garmin, but none of them show when I open the Custom POI section; nothing is listed...it only gives me the option to Delete All. It does show "Transfering Data" on the screen of the GPS, though. Nothing comes up on the screen when I am on the road, either.

Available via WebUpdater

Changes made from version 2.70 to 3.00:

* Correct issue installing Map Updates on a Mac.
* Correct issue maintaining more than 128 waypoints. Warning - this software update may require favorites to be reloaded.
* Correct issue with deleting 2-5 letter POIs.
* Correct issue with MSN receiver software failing to download.
* Correct backlight settings handling.

I have just started to notice a minor glitch with my nuvi 660. When approaching an address, the GPS usually announces "Approaching 123 4th Avenue, on left (or right)". But now it seems that more frequently the announcement omits which side of the street the address is on.

Any ideas why this might occur?

Hi All,

I was playing around with the POI Loader version 2.5.3. I use the manual load mode and select Mapsource as the destination to see what it does. I selected my POI files and and it seem to loaded ok without any errors.

My question here is where does those POIs goes when you choose Mapsource ? How do I look at those POIs or check on it ?

Thank you

Does the nuvi 255W play MP3?

Hi everyone,

I've got a question about the redlight camera csv POI file I downloaded from here. Does each individual POI name within that csv file has something meaningful such as does it set the proximity alert speed ?

For example here are some POI names within that file:

Red Light Camera .01vxt
Red Light Camera .01vys
Red Light Camera .022x8

Hi, apart from the hellos and being brand spankin new, i was wondering if i could get alittle help with my GPS. Got a Garmin Nuvi 760 and i keep trying to get the ecoroute software installed but it fails to appear on the webupdater.

Any reason as to why and can anyone help me get this useful tuel into my already useful tool

When doing a hard reset and letting the unit get the satellites, should this be done on a cloud free day or does it matter. I was reading some of the posts and it was stated to do this in an open area.

Background: I have both a 350 and 765T. I had purchased the lifetime maps for the 350.

I was reading some of the FAQ's on Garmins site for Mapsource. If I am reading right, I cannot do a route in Mapsource and send it to my 765T. Is this correct?

It has been a few weeks since I received began using my 265wt and I am not sure if the traffic is working at all. I would like to hear comments on my experience and hear your experiences as well.

Things I have noticed (I have the latest device software installed)

An interesting article from WIRED magazine talking about how US troops are using off the shelf Garmin GPS devices to help avoid improvised devices and sniper attacks:

New nuvi 1690 info at Amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-4-3-Inch-Portable-Bluetooth-Nav...

Garmin's nuLink! page (found by chance typing garmin.com/nulink). Check out the link to an early 1690 page where it states: "intro paragraph goes here.
Garmin NOW! Services (or whatever we call it)"

Does anyone know if I can upload anything to my c580 to make it useful on my boat.

I am thinking of purchasing a Nuvi 500. Does anyone know if it is compatible with Mapsource?

Update 4.60 available for the nuvi855

installed it works ok.......

Like the new POI "Show/Hide" by sub/category. very useful

Change History
Changes made from version 4.50 to 4.60:

* Correct problem where units entered a loop of Updating GPS firmware.

Changes made from version 4.40 to 4.50:

* Corrected issue when unit is connected to a BMW mount.

I loaded MP3 alerts for Rest Areas and Red Light/Speed cameras on my Nuvi 855. The alerts are sounding almost continuously until I pass the POI.

This never occurred on my C340 (without using the MP3s). One, maybe two alert beeps at most.

Whats happening?

I just purchased a new Garmin 765t about a week or so ago. We are planning a 1200 mile trip from NC to MN in 2 weeks. I went to both Google Maps, and later Mapquest to get and edit my route. I changed the route that was first calculated for me, because I wanted to avoid Chicago. After changing the route that was made for me, I downloaded it to my Garmin via USB.

How do I add alerts on my Garmin Nuvi 255W. I have the restroom POI loaded but I do not see how you add an alert.

Thank You,
Rick

When following a route in Ontario, I notice that my Garmin 765T routes me along the collectors when the express is available and a faster route. How do I persuade my garmin to route me along the express until i absolutely need to go onto the collectors to exit.

I just purchased a used 265W and was lucky enough to have the previous owner remove his registration. When I registered it with garmin, it was recognized as a 265WT. I searched the settings and such but found no indication of being able to receive FM traffic updates. The power cord I got does NOT have the receiver in it.
