Garmin talk

Here is a little application that will let you view/transfer the Garmin Vehicle Files (SRF) to and from your Garmin.
- Search for you Garmin manually, or click on the
button with a 'G' in it to have the program search
for the stock folder ("/Garmin/Vehicle") on all
available drives starting with "D:"

- Each vehicle is represented on a card that includes

I've just started down loading custom POI from this site
(thanks)
But I'm not sure on the organizing part
I added
Wal-mart
Nation parks
five guys burgers
state parks
but when I go to extras - custom POIs
National parks & Five guys is all that is listed
other than All categories which just has the the add. of five guys.

I'm saving on a sd card if that matters.

I just learned that you could send an address you looked up with Google Maps or Map Quest to your Garmin Nuvi. However, I'm really struggling with something.

Hi. I'm new here. I just received my Nuvi 855 today and updated and registered it. I am told that I have 60 days to receive my NuMaps update. It sounds like one just came out in April. Should I hold off till early July (just before my trip) or should I go ahead and update them now? Is there a chance of another update coming before July?

So I have been using the Proclips for my Garmin Nuvi, with great success. I even have a proclip for my Nokia E71 that holds the phone upright for a good GPS signal and charges it. The problem is brackets for certain cars. I have one for the MINI Cooper and it works well. Can't find a solution for the Lotus Elise. Does anyone have a Lotus with a good way to mount the GPS securely?

I've had a StreetPilot 2710 for a long time... very used to it.

The other day, I picked up a Nuvi 780 to replace it. The 2710 will go into my wife's car (she wont use it a lot)...

My first experience any of the Nuvi's is the 780.

There are already a few things that are different.

o StreetPilot had a remote (really liked that)

I bought a 760 in Nov. 2008 and just now bought my wife one as well. I am doing a free update to 2010 maps on her 760, so my question is........is there a way to install the download on my 760 as well? Thanks

Does anyone know how to get to the Diagnostic Screen/Mode on a Garmin StreetPilot 7200/7500 ?

I know there is a diagnostic screen for many other Garmion models and I would think that there is a way to get to it on the 7200/7500 too.

I have tried some of the methods which work for other models, but they seem to differ based on the model.

Thanks

I downloaded and successfully added POI files to my Nuvi 760. How do I bring those up on the device itself?

I was wondering is there any way to save the trip logs on my nuvi 500/550 which I guess is another term garmin uses that means track log.

Volkswagen and Garmin are developing an attachment system that would be built into VWs. Called "Click and Ride" it offers the convenience of taking your GPS with you and adding updates, but with the look of a factory installed GPS. It's a dealer-installed mount and wiring kit that hides the wires.

I did a "Search" and it seems I SHOULD be able to load my POIs onto an SD Card and have my Nuvi 660 read the POIs from the SD Card by pressing "Extras" and finding the POIs there.

Other people said that when they boot their Nuvi w/ a SD card loaded with POIs, they get a screen asking if the user wants to transfer the POI files to the GPS memory. (I'd prefer to leave the POIs on the Card, BTW)

This isn't a whine. It's just something I'm offering to people trying to decide whether to buy Garmin's nüMaps Onetime DVD or the company's nüMaps Lifetime product.

I have a question regarding the "Address Book" in the 765T. How are entries in it different from entries in favorites? How is it typically used? Is there a way to synchronize it with Outlook's address book?

hey guys, i was trying to upload speed/red warning files onto my unit. i clicked on the folder to get the files from the POILoader but i included the zip file itself aswell including the files i extracted. now does my unit also include the zipfile? or does it automatically assume i did a dumba** move and ignored it?

Hi, I am new here and I will appreciate if someone can give me a Hand !!

I have a Garmin Nuvi 250, When I select Destination Several Options appear, Direction, Favorites .. Among them its one called Points Of Interest (not to confuse with Extras > Custom Pois).
On that folder I found restorants, hotel, etc.

I have a Nuvi 855 having trouble adding and deleting POI's. I tried to add new POI's to the orginal POI's I had added a few days ago and the POI loader said they were added but they weren't on the GPS(the original ones were still there). Since then I have tried to delete the orginal POIs with the loader so I could start over.

I'm still learning the ins and outs of favorites and POIs. My understanding is that Favorites can show a symbol on the map regardless of how closely zoomed in you are and also only require an address; POIs, on the other hand, require lat/long, but won't show a symbol unless you are zoomed in quite close.

I have run into an strange problem with POI loader. I have downloaded an Excel file of Ohio Historical Markers. I have moved columns around to match what POI loader needs to see. Columns A and B are coordenates, column C lists the Marker # and name and column D is the town. The file was saved as a .CSV file.
