i have a garmin nuvi 650. my problem is that i accidentally deleted my map can anyone have a back up file?

Is it possible to lock img files I create to specific Garmin devices?

If anyone is looking for a good deal on the Oregon 400t, I just saw it at REI.com on sale for $399.99 with FREE in-store pick-up.

REI is an authorized Garmin reseller AND has a lifetime satisfaction guarantee.

It's ther best price I've seen on the 400t.

PLUS.. you can get another $50 rebate from Garmin on this unit if you purchase by May 10th.

I see how to send a destination or single place to the GPS via the "send" options. But when I make a route it no longer gives that choice. I searched but didn't find the answer. A little help please. Thanks POI'ers.

Is there a way, when running a "simulated" trip, that you can speed up the running time... either that or is there a way to get the gps to give you a text version of the trip, sort of like printing one out from mapquest with turn by turn and mileage to destination?

This has been a great site for me to extend the use of my simple Garmin 350. You find very quickly that you want to keep the POI files up to date.

Would it be possible to provide a listing of the POI files by date, if you choose, newest first? That way you could see which files have been updated recently & which you may wish to download.

Hope the thought is useful.

Can anyone recommend an editor to view or modify vehicle srf files ?? Jim

Hi Folks,

Does anyone have a link to someplace selling the 2010 map updates on DVD? Also, would it be less expensive if I just purchased the update to my nuvi 660 from Garmin rather that the entire maps on DVD?

Thanks!

I've noticed my Garmin Nuvi (with last year's maps) does not list Costco locations in the database. Has anyone created a POI list of Costco locations around the country? Sometimes when on vacation, I find that I could use something I know Costco sells, but I have a hard time finding the nearest store without an internet connection.

I am trying to load the updated Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and keep getting an error message about line one. Anyone else having this problem? The error is "Data format error on line one".

I have City navigator NT Europe 2009 on my SD card. I want to load City navigator NT North America 2010 on the SD card also. But every time I up load City navigator NT North America 2010 it over writes my City navigator NT Europe 2009. It seems to only let you put one map image on the card!
Anybody no how I go about putting both these maps on the same SD card.
Thanks.

I was just wondering how do you all keep your poi up to date. Do you just keep them all in the same folder with the original download file name and download new ones and overwrite the old one or do you rename them? Also do you load them all together and have 1 gpi file or do you load them individually and rename each gpi file?

The newest one I can find is 2007 and its not current. Any one knows where I can get the 2008 or 2009 Shoprite POI?

Please can you tell me why the Garmin Nuvi710 switches off when pressing the ADDRESS and INTERSECTIONS icon.

Wouldn't it be neat if POI files could do this?

Be an all inclusive file - 1 file that holds the gpx and the icons and the sound files.
It could be named a .gpz.
For example this is the way the java jar files and firefox extensions files work.

After looking through posts, the last general discussion on MSN Direct was started in December 2008. Since this is a newer service, I was wondering if it has improved (or has gotten worse)? I'm in the Syracuse area, so if anyone happens to have MSN Direct in that particular area, I certainly would be interested in hearing about coverage.

Nuvi 750. When I go to Tools, My Data, Import, I see a lot of entries that are listed Mapquest 568, Mapquest 635, Mapquest 962, etc.

What States and where in those States does Lane Assist show on Garmin 765T? Thanks in advance.

I have a Honda CRV (2005). Under the center vents is a compartment with a door that opens horizontally. I attached the adhesive disc to the inside of the door and affixed the suction mount to it. I attached the Nuvi 765T and it works very well, shading the unit from sunlight and positions the unit in a convenient location.

This is interesting

Confirmed: Garmin nuvi 700 units less sensitive than older 600 nuvi models
