Red light mesage
I have a few red light cameras loaded in my 265WT that I pass each day on my way to work. When I approach the intersection from the south I get an auditble alert. When I approach the same intersection from the west I get the same audible alert and the camera name pops up on the screen in a grey rectangular box. Can anyone tell me why I only get the camera name from one direction.

Alerts: continuous autoplay vs single tone with custom sounds
I have a nuvi 350 with a TourGuide csv sent for McCDonalds. I used the Kentucky Derby sound with the continous auto play option and it drove my wife crazy when we were in urban areas. I switched to single tone and all I get is a songle tone. What I wanted was the custom sound, Derby, just once.

Need Maps For Your Sled?
I don't have a snowmo and haven't tried these maps out, but it looks interesting. If you go to the site, you can see what trails are offered.

New MSN Direct Update
Has anyone been able to download the new MSN Direct update? I received a message about it on my Nuvi this am and went to the website to obtain more info. It said to use the webupdater which I did and the update is not there, I am assuming it has not been released yet.

Accuracy of POI data
I just subscribed and downloaded a number of custom POI from the POI Factory. I wanted to see if the McDonalds inside the local Walmart was there.

Waypoints
OK, I know that many of you will be shaking your heads with this one but I can't seem to find an answer. So here goes: what the "heck" is a waypoint? My 350 apparently has the capability of 500-waypoints but I have no idea what that means.
Thanks and sorry for the juvenile ignorance on the subject.

Red Light Camera Files
Ok, I got my active member status, so I downloaded the red light camera file. Do I need to unzip this file, or will POI Loader do it on it's own?? Also, just to clarify, do I need to rename the bmp & mp3 files I downloaded from POI Factory to RED LIGHT CAMERA?

Changing Text
On my Nuvi 255w there is a folder called TEXT (from C:/blah blah blah) and when i open it up there are different gtt files?
Are these the same as fonts and can we make our own? To me the text, like street names, etc 'boring' and like to change this up...
I love this site and thanks for all the dedication and hard work EVERYONE does...
THANK YOU

3D View - 265wt vs 765t
I had to recently upgrade to a 765t (because the 265wt didn't have the ability to show minutes remaining to destination).
I've noticed something HUGE between the two that is really frustrating me.
In 3D view, the 265wt gives you 5 levels of detail where the 765T only gives you 3.

Nuvi 200W loading custom POI's on SD card
I have seen older threads for some Garmin units that allow a way to eliminate the screen that comes up asking if you want to load the custom POI's on the Garmin?? If I wanted it on the Garmin, I would place it there!
Is there any way to eliminate the screen that comes up every time I boot the Garmin? Any hacks?
Great site. It lets nubies hit the ground runnin'

Windows 7 and Garmin GPS
Well, I'm running the Microsoft Windows 7 beta ... and I can report that my Garmin NUVI works just fine.
I ran Webupdater (just to see if it would work) ... my unit was already up to date ... so I selected a previously deleted language TTS file. I also messed around with Mapsource.
Everything ran just fine.

Search built-in POIs Bug?
I discovered that searching built-in POIs for the Fuel category also returns Convenience Stores mixed into the results.
For the stores returned in the Fuel search, Mapsource shows their category as "Shopping", and sub-category as "Convenience". Perhaps Garmin thinks food from 7-Eleven stores will also give you gas? ![]()

mp3 to wav
I understand that I need to convert the mp3 file to wav for it to be put on my 330C. Can anyone advise me what software I need to get and if there is any additional programs I will need to.
