Is there a way to download gas prices on my nuvi 360 without having MSN direct?

I did a hard re-set on my 770 (to try and fix the lag problem).

As I'd read, I copied the current.gpx to my computer first, did the hard re-set, then copied the current.gpx back to the Nuvi. It looks like the file transfers, but everytime I turn on the GPS it reverts back to a much smaller current.gpx - no favorites, no home location.

Greetings.....What a great site, I just loaded the Red Light Camera POIs on my Zumo 550 which I have installed on my BMW K1200S and what a cool setup.

My question is, what would be the steps to create a Chevron Gas Station POI for Texas or the USA. Would Chevron USA be any help.

Thanks for your comments.

I have a Nuvi 350 that performs great, however, I see there are numerous new models available. What are the attractions to all the new models? What features do they have that are really beneficial? At some point I will give my 350 to my wife and buy another model but I am not sure exactly what I am missing. Thanks

Well, not paying attention, I deleted the .gtt files. Downloading and installing the updates via the updater only restored the British English gtt files. I can't get the American English files restored.

Hi all,
I just got my first GPS unit. Garmin Nuvi 770.
I've been searching all around for cool things for it. I stumbled upon this site.

I love it! I love the POI that everyone adds.
I checked and I have the 2009 maps

Anyways. I"ll be on the here a lot.

Thanks all in advance!

Anybody know anything about the Voice Editor

My Nuvi somehow knows when to make the map dark and light depending on the time of day. I am assuming that's programmed into the software somewhere...?

I have a Nuvi 660 and I have downloaded the POI Installer and as far as I can figure out, I should be getting some speed alerts or proximity warnings... Am I missing something? Am I supposed to download something else?
Please help...

i got nt 2009 (upgrade) and installed fine. my old CN NT 2008 is still sucking up hard drive space tho. anyone know how to get rid of 2008 without affecting 2009 ??
actually ive got CS7 on there too (which 08 upgraded) so can i uninstall that too ?
its like 6 gigs just wasted with obsolete maps and garmin doesnt seem to have an overwrite feature in their crappy installers.

I am a truck driver and I bought a Garmin Nuvi 650 from Cosco. It worked good for Canada but when he started trips through US it couldn't show the right ways to destination. Most of the times when I was driving through a road it showed that there is road and it is calculating.

I recently inadvertently added over 1500 hotels to my favorites. Can I delete selected entrys without erasing all of the locations I have in there?

Thanks

that came preloaded on my 360 and the City Navigator® North America NT 2009 Map Update that is currently available for download from Garmin?

The reason I ask is when I registered my replacement Nuvi 360 from Garmin, they said I was entitled to upgrade to new maps.

They even sent me an activation code for the updated map.

Do I need it?

i had about 100 POI's installed and they work fine. I recently divided them in folders for :fast food, restaurants, attractions.

I now notice it takes a long time, about 2 minutes, when i try to open the POI in my Garmin. Is this normal, or was it really faster when i had all my POI's together and not in the separate folders. Thank you in Advance

I just uploaded the camera files to my Garmin 660. Do I need to do anything to activate them or is it automatic. This is my first upload to my GPS. "NEW guy"

We'll be going on a two week photo safari in northern Arizona and southern Utah in the middle of January.

Some of the locations we want to photograph from are well off the paved roads. This shouldn't be a problem in our Jeep. I have set up a number of way points via Google Earth to get us to/from the locations we'll shoot from using my Nuvi 260.

Are the Multi-mode navigation receivers really usable in each mode? This sounds like something I can use. Are they worht it?

I'm not the sharpest tack so I need help deleting specific files from my 760. Thanks in advance.

I have nuvi 350 and like to use the simulation mode to check out a route and alerts before driving it. However, the "speed" is very slow. Does anyone know if you can control the speed of the vehicle in simulation mode?
with appreciation

I downloaded and converted the Oregon State Parks .csv file into a .gpx. However, I receive an error in Mapsource telling me that it is an invalid file type when I try and open it, though other converted .gpx files open just fine.

any ideas?
