Proximity Points
I am pretty new to POIs. if i install POIs using the POI loader in express install mode, will the sound files play when i am near a POI? or do i need to manualy set them to play using the manual mode?
I did set Proximity point alerts to ON on my GPS unit.
I have The Nuvi 660.
Thanks

POI on my Nuvi 205w - WHAT?
I have a Garmin Nuvi 205w
I've made and downloaded some POI files.
So I got the program to put the files on my garmin, no problem. I put one of the POI files on my garmin, worked well. I then checked my garmin to make sure it worked, SWEET. This is easy.
I then put the next file on it. Check my garmin to make sure it's there and YES! but the first POI file I put on it was gone.

705 series bug
With the 705 series, when you are on a route driving, I don't know if it is related to using the french version but is seems that one third of the green bar on the top, besides the green arrow box, is unable to show any text. most of the time, there is enough space to display the whole street title but only part of it is shown and a large part of the bar remain unused....

"Pairing" the Nuvi 760 with the Blueant Interphone headset?
I want to pair my Nuvi 760 GPS unit with my Blueant Interphone headset but I'm lacking the directions I need. Pairing with a cell phone is not the issue.
Can anyone give me advice/information/instructions on how to do this? Many thanks.

Loaded Harley Dealers POI - can't find them on GPS
I have a new Zumo 550 (Not the one that Harley sells). I downloaded a POI from the POI Factory and following the instructions (I thought) uploaded the POI to my Garmin. Everything finished without errors. I turned the Zumo off and then back on and I can't find where the Dealers are. I suppose that I did something wrong.

New Vehicle - Golf Cart
So there is a new vehicle posted on Garmin's website. It is a nice looking vehicle of a Golf Cart called putter. I just downloaded it and added it to my 350. When you go into the change vehicles page on the nuvi, no vehicles are present. I went and removed, the vehicles worked, put it back on and they do not work. I only have a couple icons in there so it was not an issue of overloading.

Have GPS will travel but car broke down & cellphone won't work
There are places in this world where cellphone coverage isn't available. Suppose you're in one of these uncovered areas and your car broke down and all you have is your Garmin GPS unit. You know your co-ordinates, but how do you tell the civilized world where you are?

Garmin discourages repeat customers
How many of you own a Garmin GPS and have also purchased additional maps?
I bought the Nuvi 360 when it was first released along with City Navigator Europe and Australia maps. At the time Garmin allowed one additional install. I used this additional install on my replacement Nuvi 660.
