POI INSTALL GARMIN 680

I recently purchased a Garmin Nuvi 680. What happens if I install poi from this site that are already included with the 680? Also is there a program that will allow you to look at the included poi's?

Thanks

Adding POI's to an SD card

I have been fighting with this for a while. When I use the POI loader on my 750, how do I tell the loader to load the files on the J drive (sd card in the 750) instead of it automatically loading them into the unit itself? There are no prompts that come up. The only option I have is where are the POI's are coming from.

mp3 does not play

Using the Nuvi660
I have tried every combination to get the Nuvi to show a speed alert & play an MP3 at the same time.

The mp3 downloaded from Gary Hayman’s site –(excellent) – works in iTunes fine.

The files in the Garmin/POIcollection folder are:

Schools_Speed_55.bmp
Schools_Speed_55.csv
Schools_Speed_55.mp3

Used PoiLoader to transfer the files to the Nuvi.

SD card in C330

What information am I able to transfer to an SD card in the C330? I have heard that this is very limited and not worthwhile.

Just got a Nuvi 880 POI Question

I uploaded the Pass_Port_America.V.csv using the POI loader and it didn't add the addresses or phone numbers. Why?

Can't save POI as a favorite

Tonight I was beginning to prepare for a trip next week to Nashville. I just purchased tickets for the Grand Ole Opry and wanted to see how best to get there. I was there once before but stayed at the hotel which provided transportation.

Street Pilot 7500 works with 8GB SDHC card

I thought I would let everyone know my Street Pilot 7500 is using a Sandisk Ultra II SDHC 8GB card. I use is to hold my books-on-mp3 and music, and everything works well with the built in media player.

How do I know the 750 is actually accessing the SD card?

I orginally loaded all my POI's directly in the Nuvi 750. I just got a SD card and loaded them on the card.

Nuvi660 Questions

Hello....I am a newbie to GPS.

I own a NUVI660 and have two questions:

1. In "Extras" under CustomPOIs I want to remove all of the POI's I have loaded? How do I do that please?

Trick or Walkaround for Recalculating

I have a nuvi 750 using mapquest to plan routes. Using UNFlag to take out all the via points. Got tired of hearing all the announcements. When you stray from the route it recalculates a new route. I then have to reload my route and start again. Does anyone know of a better way.

Is this device and software capable of using POI files?

I have followed instructions but to no avail. I would sincerely appreciate a step-by-step list of instructions if POIs apply to this software (City Navigator North America NT 2009) and device. Thank you.

.WAV Conversion

Can someone explain how to convert .mp3 files to .wav? I understand this is what I need for a Nuvi 200.

Coordinates on a Favorite

Awhile back, I created and submitted a POI file for Air Museums in Texas. I drove by one of the sites at 70 mph on the freeway this afternoon and tapped the "car" and told it to save the coordinates and of course, named the site. My question is this, can I find the coordinates in that Favorite so that I can send in an update for the POI file?

Thanks,

Bill

Tracks in Mapsource

I have a Nuvi 255W. When I upload the data into Mapsource there is a tab called 'tracks' which contains all the data of where I have been what time speed etc...

How can i delete the tracks on my Nuvi so this info is not there anymore?

Thanks

NUVI 680 Memory

I've looked all over and can't seem to find the memory size of a Garmin 680. Anyone know where this might be found?

Thanks!

Slow down!

If this has been asked before, please accept my apologies, but I didn't see any other posts relating to it on my search.

On several of my major streets, my Nuvi posts the speed limit of the road I'm on. Great feature! Is it possible to have it sound an alert if I'm driving over the speed limit to encourage me to slow down?

Do any of you?

Not recognising memory card

I have a Garmin Nuvi 750 and just bought a memory card for it. I formatted it in my card reader and put some music on it. The Garmin does not recognize it. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.
