Garmin talk

Hello:

After browsing many reviews

This is on a Nuvi 765T.

I installed some POI's from here using POI loader. These had icon files associated with them ("same_name".BMP file).

For example:

Icon: http://www.poi-factory.com/files/McDonalds3.BMP
POI file:http://www.poi-factory.com/poifile/download/csv?node=11154

I have been using a Garmin Street Pilot C340, and just bought a Nuvi255. Is there a way I Ncan transfer my favories?

I try many times to load red-light cameras alert sound for POI files into my Nuvi 360 but for some reason its not working. I don't know if I did it correctly. I have follow the instruction on giving on these website but still no luck. Can anyone please show me step by step to load red-light cameras sound into my Nuvi 360.

Thanks,

Does anyone know how to remove a via point that was added during a 'where to' location route?

how do you get rid of the starting license agreement screen on the nuvis ?? the whole do not enter data while moving B.S. ? my 60csx never had one. is there any way to patch the nuvi and get rid of it ?

So I thought I'd followed the directions here on downloading POI's (saved them to a folder on my hard drive, connected my gps, uploaded manually, etc. etc.). Anyway, I get the "Congratulations, you've downloaded ... POI", but when I check my favorites a couple of them have coordinates instead of the address and then I see alot of them that say "SPEED LIMIT _X MPH _x."

DOES ANY BODY KNOWS IF OR WHERE I CAN FIND A "TOYOTA YARIS CUSTOM VEHICLE GREEN"???

ANY HELP??

THANKS A LOT: FRGG

I have read it on other forum that traffic alerts on MSN Direct start working in GTA as of December 6, 2008.
I have TMC FM receiver and service is crap in Toronto area. Very few times I get traffic flow info on 401. It is avaialble only on weekdays where as MSN Direct is 24/7. I will definitely buy MSN Direct receiver. Has anyone tried MSN Direct in last few days in GTA?

After seeing a nuvi 550 that is roughly feature equivalent to a Zumo 450, is Garmin replacing m/c units with nuvi units?

The map shows highways ONLY.

When I try to look up the map information, the "map info" button under "settings > map" is grayed out.

In a mass-storage mode, I see the map file, along with unlock code, all intact. It just isn't reading the map.

Is there any reason that when there is a snow or rain storm or even fog that a Garmin with A high sensitivity receiver wont get sattelite reception

Nuvi 200w is on sale at Target for 119.00. I wasnt sure if anyone would be intrested

So I found a usb cable that goes to a MP3 player that also fits my 255w. However, when I plug it in to my computer it constantly switches between storage and charge mode. For some reason it won't stay connected as a storage device long enough for me to upload poi's or other data. Should I just buy a new usb cable? I know they're really cheap.

Does anyone know what the available memory is on the 255w? Is there a way to access this on the unit?

I have just bought three 780s for the our three cars. Looking at the MSN Direct pages, I don't see any discount options, so I thought I would ask if anyone managed to get a discount?

Hello everybody,
I have a question for users of Garmin handheld's (etrex Legend Hcx). Can you selectively display poi's (meaning display a certain poi database) or is it an all or nothing situation?

I have bought another Nuvi350 for my wife and want to put POIs on that new one. Since I have misplaced the .csv file somewhere, I will have to transfer it from old one. Can someone please tell me how to do that.
Thank you.

As I was driving home tonight I notice the magenta line that marks your route was missing. If I zoomed in and out I would see it momentarily but it wouldn't stay on the screen. I was traveling a route that I made with Mapsource. Got home and had a idea the difference was I was traveling a route that I created. So picked a spot on the map and said “Go” to it.
