Garmin talk

Hello all-

Is it possible to use multiple maps in 1 SD card?
My Garmin preinstalled with N. America 2009 map and I recently purchased Europe map 2009 Map update (installed in SD card) and in additon, I have Malaysia-Singapore Garmin map.
Now both Europe map and Singapore map want to reside in X:\Garmin with filename: gmapsupp.img

I have tried renaming either of the files but it's no use.

TIA,

I thought I read somewhere, but I cannot find where, that Garmin had new software that would allow you to tie a photograph to a POI file.

I am experimenting with creating my first POI file and would love to be able to save a photo with some of my POIs.

Thanks,
Speed3

Looked in FAQ but not real hard....is there a limit to the number of POI I can have? Talking about on the 750. Would assume if you put them on the card your limit is based on the size of your card. Do I run a risk of slowing the unit down if I cross a certain number of POI?

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if it is an illusion or if the 3D-map display on my Nuvi 200w sometimes it zoom in or zoom out automatically depends on where you are while driving.

I've looked on Garmin 's web site a couple of times and cant find the software Road Trip I keep reading about for my Mac.

Does anyone know, when you do a search (on my Garmin) along current route, say for food, how far off the route the software looks?

I finally paired up my nuvi660 with treo 650. I can receive phone call through nuvi660 but I can't dial out any calls. When I hit the dial button on nuvi660 it does show red icon of phone calling but it doesn't dial. And also i hear nothing through nuvi660. and I don't see my treo 650 light up.
What is wrong?

connect your unit to webupdater and see. All voices have been upgraded from 1.20->1.40

Today, I tried to update the speed camera and redlight camera POI's. I downloaded the files correctly to my Garmin POI file but when I try to download the files using the POI Loader I get a message "There was a problem coping data to the data card. The device is not ready." This has never happen before and I have updated the files many times in the past. I have a Garmin 780.

i just purchased a nuvi660 it came with no maps, and installed the 2009 maps and used the web updater to load 4.70 sw and 1.90 audio ver

I followed the above instructions and loaded four POI files but they did not show up on my Nuvi 265W. What should I try next?

I recently purchased a Garmin 350 refurb. When I registered it, ver 6.0 software was downloaded. Now when I go into diagnostic screens I see that the number of recharge cycles = 1.

My question is: does a hard reset or a software upgrade reset this counter to 0, or did I maybe get an unused unit (or battery)?

I downloaded a Speed and Camera alert file for Canada and found some areas where speed traps exist that aren't included. I can update the file for myself (I think ), but if I wanted to share that info, how does one do that?

After adding the line(s) and saving, than what?

Hello again folks,

I've had my 1st Auto GPS less than a week and had some questions about speed alerts.

I've read about using the @ symbol for setting the alert speed so that makes sense, but is it possible to put a comment field in a csv file to remind me that I've changed the original file?

So, for instance in the following line (from a file I downloaded):

My 750 now averages over 10 minutes to locate a satellite when I first turn it on. After 3-4 minutes it says something to the effect of "Trouble Aquiring Satellites, continue?". Then is says "Locating Satellites and continues to take foreever.

Hi Folks,

What EXACTLY does the "Attention Tone" located under the "Navigation Setting" on the Nuvi 660 do? Mine is Off and I was wondering what it will do if I turn it on? I'm still getting all my POI alerts with it off so what purpose does it serve? I looked in the owners manual and all it says is "Turns the attention tone on or off". Duuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Thanks!!

I made a poi file" redlight.csv" and noticed in the morning driving north to south I dont get a alert but in the evening driving south to north it works. can anyone tell me why this happens?

every time i load poi it deletes my old poi how do i make a list of poi in extra screen

Does Navteq only provide traffic alerts for expressways? I have never received an alert for major arterial roads in Chicago.
