Garmin talk

im sure you guys got the same email as i did from garmin and amazon (if u bought ur system there). when mine broke and i had to send it back i got a new one. but unfortunately, i lost my vehicle. so i hadnt turned on my system yet.

is there an expiration to that software update that will keep it from crashing??

So i'm still running Garmin's 2009 maps on my Nuvi 760.

I'm pondering buying the 2010 maps, but here's a question, one whose answer is not clear from Garmin's website.

Is the 2010 download map from garmin's website 2010.2 (the latest update apparently)?

is 2010.1 the initial release? or is it 2010.0?

I am having trouble getting a custom POI file into Mapsource. I have started with a csv file and converted it to gpx with two different utilities. Both times Mapsource tells me it it unable to import the file. I'm running 6.15.6. This seems like it should be easy. Any help? I'll insert a sample of the csv file and the top of the converted gpx file below.

I have a Garmin 850 and I'm trying to get some custom POI files loaded that I found on POI Factory. Example: The Wal-Mart/Sams Club POI file. It loads fine via the POI Loader from Garmin, but when I go to "where to/extras/custom POIs/Wal-Mart_US, it brings up the nearest locations in Idaho (but I'm in Atlanta).

I am sure you can it, but here is my crazy question. Stupid, probably.

Can you load more than 1 set of POI's onto your Garmin? I have a 760. I dowloaded the Red Light Camera POI, which I love. I then tried to download the Walmart/Sams stores POI from this sight. When I downloaded the Walmart/Sams stores, I lost my Red Light.

I am probably doing something wrong with POI Loader.

Hi. The nuvi775t comes with BOTH the North American AND European maps pre-installed.

If I opt for the free European map update but wait to do the download for another couple of weeks or until the "new" Europe maps come out (v2010.20) will I be able to download the latest version or the one availabel right now?

I have read some conflicting/confusing information on that.

Loaded Beta file last night used it today
At last something worked for me

Thanks for the information found here

All right...my Amazon box just arrived. Time to see if I can add some custom POI's to this gizmo, get MSN activated and try it out.

I spent a couple weeks studying this site (and Tips and Tricks) and cannot wait to see how this device actually works.

Copying the drive as a backup now and hopefully charging it up too as it was dead as a doornail out of the box.

Used it a lot this week on a trip to Houston. Had the Wal Mart and What-A-Burger POI files. Helped a lot. Also found a little Caesar's pizza I never would have found w/o it. And, with the traffic at 5pm, I found an alternate path to the baseball field.

Its still new to me to have a GPS, but it rocks!

Well I purchased the 2009 map update online and installed it(it didn't ask me for the product key).
However the gps shows "Can't Unlock map". So I went to the website and use the product key, but it says "invalid Product Key".
I called Garmin service and they told me the product key is correct and they don't know what happened.
So I started making my own experiment, trying to fix it.

I downloaded two custom POI's from the factory. Rest areas & campgrounds. Both are are the same file format both on in the same folder. When I install on the Garmin it says the total records for both files loaded, but when I go to custom POI's I only see a list of rest areas. No camprounds. What am I missing?

Thanks

I have the icons and the files and I have converted the wave file to mp3 and installed them on the unit nuvi 765T the files are on the unit the icons to, but I still only hear the default Ding when the POI comes up how do I get the sound/voice to play what did I do wrong are didn't do please help.

Who is doing this POI file? I bought a map of low clearnces in Chicago. I can help with a few there. I would have to geocode them.

I have a Nuvi 265 WT and it is proving to be a versatile machine that has surprised me. I downloaded Garmin's map of Canadian Inland Lakes - Ontario before going on my vacation to Lake Muskoka in Ontario, Canada. I downloaded the Lakes map right into the Nuvi's memory - no problem. Here's how it works. When you're on the water, the position of your boat is accurately depicted on the lake.

Hot on the heals of the leaked FCC information for the Nuvi 1690 comes word of another model on the way. This one is the 1860 which will include things like a 3 megapixel camera, multimedia player, access to email, internet radio streaming and streaming video.

First details can be seen here:

I tried to use my 885T as a hands free cell phone and it sounds like junk. When I use the FM Trans coming thru my car speakers there is no problem. Is there anything that can be done about this other than using the fm transmitter. I also have a 660 and that one works just find..

Heard on TV station KWWL that Cedar Rapids, Iowa was planning on adding Red Light cameras soon. No details yet.
