2010 map update

My Nuvi 360 has the 2008 maps installed. I have the 2010 maps both in a SD card and in the mapSource in my PC. As I try to tranfer the maps to the device, it reads that there is insufficient memory. Please help.
Am I using the right software, what else can I try.

Display POI w/o alert

confused I hope this hasn't been asked and answered. I went through the FAQs and searched the forum, but I may well have missed it.

Is it possible to load the POI's and have the icon show on the map without an alert? I have loaded the POI's with the Garmin POI loader and disabled alerts but I don't see the icons on the map.

Alerts

I downloaded the red light camera, truck stops, rest areas and other downloads.
Will they pop up as an alert when i get close to them? If not how do i set them as alerts?

thanks

The big 5 truck stops

Another question i have is, are the downloads for the major truck stops on this site? Like TA and Love's?

Thank you

POI's download

Hey,

I downloaded the red camera download, and rest area. All i see in my POI is the rest area. After that i downloaded the LOW clearance download. Once i checked my POI on my garmin nuvi 750, i didn't see the rest area anymore, just the low clearance.
What is the problem?? Can the garmin only have one type of download on it?

Red light camera

Hey,

I just subscribed to this website. So downloaded the red light cameras and my question is why can i not find the files on my garmin? I also downloaded the low clearance file, and i could find it under POI's. But not the red light cameras. Will they still work? Is this a problem, or is this normal?

Thank you

POI and sound

Greetings,

I understand that if I download a POI.CSV file and a mp3 file and put them in the same directory on my computer and then use POI loader, every time a POI is approached the mp3 will be played. I presume this is how things work.

If the above is correct, what happens if I do the same thing with a POI.gpx file? Or does the gpx file have sounds built in?

Garmin CSU

Greetings,

I am learning a lot. When I found a POI on this site that I wanted and went to its page I saw two buttons one that says Garmin CSU and the other TomTom OU2. I have searched the site to see what CSU means and will this POI file work with my 255W, however, I get no search results for CSU.

Can someone enlighten me about CSU and can the file be used on my 255w?

Can't see POI data after loading into Garmin

Using NUVI 885, I loaded several POI files, red light, speed camera, McDonalds, Walmart & Rest stops. Everything loads into the garmin, but I can only see (Extras/Custom POIs) the red light and speed camera POI's. The POI loader does shows the points have added. Anybody have a suggestion as to what the problem is?

What is the GTMxx traffic receiver firmware update?

I have a Nuvi 660 and I was checking for updates today and I see there is a firmware update for GTMxx Traffic Receivers. I’m not sure if I need that for my unit. In the past, my Nuvi continued to loose traffic coverage. Garmin did an absolutely incredible job with customer service on this and they tested my unit personally and communicated each day with me.

Icon Zoom

At what level do the Icons start to show up on the 660 ?

Garmin registration?

Hello to the Forum, I have been lurking here for a couple of months and decided to get some input. I bought a Zumo 550 off Ebay about 7 months ago, the seller was very helpful and sent extra parts that he initially forgot on the original shipment.

WPT files garmin

FYI: If your Nuvi 885t is Freezing up while turning it
on or while the map loads and hangs on initial startup
Then:
Go to Garmin.com
Download the latest update to rectify this issue.
Note: It will take up to 5 minutes for your unit(Nuvi) to communicate with your PC.

Garmin Replacements

Has anyone received their replacement Nuvi from Garmin yet?

If so, how long did it take for Garmin to turn things around in your favor?

Nuvi Case at Buy.com

I picked up a Nuvi case at Buy.com - it was less than $7. Of course, the shipping is almost as much as the case. But, it was still cheaper than paying almost $16 at Best Buy + tax. The Buy.com price was the cheapest I've found online.
