Garmin talk

Hi. I am new at this web sight. I have one question. Is there a way to load POIs by state rather than by File Categories? Can I load the POIs for the state I live in being restaurants, shopping, schools ect. Thanks for any help.

Have a Garmin Nuvi 260w. Cannot load POI Files? When I download from site it only allows opening in Excel format. Need detailed instruction....Please help!

Has anyone else noticed that Garmin data regarding posted speed limits is significantly inaccurate in various parts of Southern Arizona.

Example;

Cortaro Road, east of I-10. The actual speed limit is 40!

I-10 through downtown Phoenix, there's a speed camera just east of the tunnel, posted speed is 65, Nuvi says 55. I couldn't believe that one....

Hello everyone, Im new to this site. Does anybody here have school zones or speed limit alert files and where do I can get it from free or paid? Thanks in advance.

I downloaded a poi file of a scenic drive I am going to take along the Blue Ridge Pkwy and skyline drive. I sucessfully uploaded it to my sd card within my gps. Is there a way I can see the route that is plotted on google earth or anything else?

thnks

I just had the problem yesterday using my Nuvi 360 on a trip. Normally when the vehicle icon goes along the purple highlight direction trail, the purple highlight will disappear once the vehicle icon passes it. However, now the purple trail will not disappear once the vehicle icon passes over it.

I have noticed that Jill and Jack American TTS voices handle words/street names differently. In my neighbourhood one street is called Westbrook Ave.

If I use Jill, she calls it Westblook Ave. but if I use Jack, he calls it right Westbrook Ave.

Is there any better websites to get poi's? How do I install icons and sounds to my nuvi 265wt? I have the 265wt coming in the mail on Friday. Can anyone tell me did I make a good choice?

760 may cost half as much. lets say gpsmagazine's website is pushing me toward the 765t. im looking to get that free traffic and supposedly barely noticable free traffic.

is 765t compatible with msn? do you guys recommend it?

I happened into a Best Buy one evening with $40.00 burning a hole in my already shabby Dockers.

Looks like we will have to wait tilll the latter part of the year for Garmin to release its nuviphone. See article http://tinyurl.com/c4cp37

Hi all:

Does anyone know how to change/hack the default screen for the Garmin Nuvi 660? Right now, after the Warning Screen, it goes to the Menu Screen; I have to select "View Map" to continue. How can I get it to go directly to the Map upon startup?

Thanks

Okay, can someone please explain in media player what the 2 opposite directions button mean and the other arrow that appears to be recirculate mean? THX!

well, I got my replacement 765T from Garmin, after mine died, and it came with firmware 2.50.

I would have thought that Garmin would upgrade the firmware on the refurb units before they ship them out, but I guess not.

I just downloaded a map from http://gpsmapsearch.com/ The file type is IMG after I extract it out of the ZIP file.

I'm trying to use sendmap20 that I download from http://www.cgpsmapper.com/buy.htm to "install" (not sure if that's the correct term) the new map onto my Nuvi 760 SD card without overwriting anything in my GPS internal memory. Is this possible?

Noticed this the other day driving home and I went into my favorites to check something and saw the Last Position was my home address and not the last place where I had taken the unit of the cradle.

Can anyone assist me in this endeavor?
I would like to post a POI for our Church, and do not know how to proceed; Can anyone assist in this.

I can't get my custom poi's to work on my 765t. I followed the instructions listed with the Garmin Nuvi GPS Tricks and Tips Web site and can't get them to work. The one file I downloaded was Bank of America ATM's and there is one around the corner from my house but the alert dosen't come on.

I am a real greenie. Sorry.
I have a garmin nuvi 200. I have the coordinates where I want to go. when I enter them it says there are no roads. That is true, there are no roads. They are coordinates for property markers for a new subdivision. How do I locate the cordinates? Any ideas what I need to do?
Thank you.

How come this weeks Combined Wineries List is about 52 KB but the one I downloaded on 4/16 is about 83 KB???

What have I missed? Which is correct?

Thanks.
