Garmin talk

Just a quick question on Speed Camera POI....

I have the the speed camera POI file downloaded into my 780... the files are named

Spd-Cameras_Redlight.csv
Spd-Cameras_Redlight.mp3
Spd-Cameras_Redlight.bmp

Should the files be named something else to provide the approprite notice. Not sure if I should have the word Speed in the name or not...

Thanks 4 your help!!!

I tried three of them but didn't find the display speed difference among them.

Would you tell me how much battery life you can get out of a 200W?

My wife uses it as a calculator when shopping and is complaining that it shuts down before she finishes. I told her that she can shut down the GPS when inside, but even so, it should last a few hours. My 350 can get a few hours in the car, so I'm a bit confused.

the suction mount of my c330 melted/welded itseld onto my windshield. I called up Garmin and asked them if they heard of this before and the C.R. said no. the C.R. wound up sending me an entire new mount even though I have had my unit for almost 3 years now.

Currently I am not able to see any of the POIs with proximity alerst loaded on my GPS. The first few times I edited the .gpx file they showed and worked fine. Now they do not show at all. Other POI files are showing fine. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Was going through the Radio Shack site and came across this.

Don't tell me that Garmin is getting into the "Radio Shack exclusive" club too.

Is this for real, or did they mean Nuvi 850 and made a mistake?

Is it possible to create a POI file and have images within that file?

For example, if I create a "Family Member's" POI and click on my "dad", his address and phone number come up. To the right of my information is the big GREEN "Go!" button. Directly above the button is empty space.

Is it possible to put a picture of my location in this empty space?

Can I enter a waypoint on my Garmin C330? I need to enter the entrance gate to my deer lease. I almost didn't find it at 4:00 a.m. last Saturday!

I am thinking of buying Nuvi 765T in the near future. It comes with free Realtime Traffic alerts and optional MSN Direct. Which I think is that I have to buy subscription from MSN Direct.

Do I really need both or Traffic alerts are good enough. Though MSN has extra bells and whistles.
I will appreciate your advice.

PS: I live in Greater Toronto area in Canada.

poi's in nuvi 760 are at least 4 years old with 2009 map update installed..

I have tried installing POI and bitmap files to my Nuvi 265t following the instructions found at http://www.poi-factory.com/node/4359 as well as other directions. I'm still not able to see the POIs on my unit. I've tried using the POI Loader to completely remove the files and reloading several times with no success. Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

would like to start a thread for people who have the 7x5t series of garmins to talk about the likes/ dislikes, tips

I went away last week and used my 660, it gave me directions with know problem, I then went today to the same place and i got different directions. Both times I started the 660 from the same place. Is this normal ?

I have a nuvi 650, I was never able to download POI or red lightalert/camera alert.Is it possible to download without subscription.I'm not very good in computers, so please ,can somebody give me step by step instructions?

I have a garmin nuvi 650, and would like to contribute to the open street maps project. www.openstreetmap.org . My question is this: Has anyone sent track points to the project? And how do I set my 650 to collect track points?
Thanks,

Several POI files that I am interested in have the coordinates entered unsorted by value. Does anyone know how to sort .the entries in the file by the longitude value while retaining all the original values in the file. I would like to edit our those areas of the country that I will not be using in my travels.

With appreciation,

John

I recently pull the trigger on a 260. I got it from Amazon through the free nuvi 200 promotion. Currently I have a C530 with many favorites based on business clients. I have checked the forum and didn’t see or missed if this has been asked before; is there a way to transfer my favorites directly from the 530 to 260 via my computer?

Does anyone know how to work the advanced video settings on the GVN 53? I need to shrink the screen so it all fits on my 2008 Toyota Prius display.

On Garmin 750 I have downloaded several POI's with ICONS and mp3 sounds. The Icons work but sounds (Alerts) do not play.
