Could someone please tell me how to place MP3's on my Garmin. Thank you.

POIF Gang,
Just updated my Nuvi-260 to firmware 5.0 and noticed another update that was available called "GPS Chipset Type B."
Can someone please tell me what this is and whether you recommend the update.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks......MifferIM

today I went in my settings on clicked on the wrench and my proximity button is gone??? I can find my custom poi's in extras but nothing to turn them on or check the alert button like I used to. I have a nuvi 760. any ideas?

I do not know how to save favourites of my novi 760 to sd card ,

Can I save some of my Favorites as a POI group/set on a 760? I have about 20 or more businesses that I frequent and it would be easier if they were in a POI set, hopefully on top and not last on my POI list. In fact I could do away with most of the sets that are on it already.

Thanks.

Why is the Garmin user manual so bad? Without this site (POI factory) and other tips, tricks I found on the internet I would not be able to take full advantage of my Garmin. My Nuvi 350 has so many features and everyday I find out something new about it.

Has anyone thought of setting up custom POI's for the subway system in New York? I would like to be able to know exactly where to get off to see the various sites in New York or specific streets. It would also be helpful to tell you where the subway access points are (to get back on) as you move around the city.

I downloaded three CSV files for Super 8, Days Inn, and Best Western Motels. I sent all three to the device using the POI loader and they are supposed to show in the "Where To" - Extras but they do not show up. What am I doing wrong?

has anyone else seen a re emergence of the dreaded storm icon. I thought I corrected this, but here it is again!

im looking for a more interesting drive around town and i would like some celeb voices for the drive, i performed a search here but couldnt find anything downloadable, ive been lazily browsing here and there for 2 hours but i could not find much in this category

can anyone point me in the right direction, i dont have a huge budget so i dont see it worth paying for a new voice.

* Improved 'Find near' searches for custom POI's
* Improved spell search on MSN items
* MSN Movies review page now includes rating stars
* Improved find nearest POI category searches when using ASR
* Improved Hungarian QWERTY keyboard
* Corrected issue where some POI phone numbers failed to appear on POI review page

Is it possible to make a POI file that is able to use the bluetooth phone category able to be dialed? I have tried inserting phone number into the fourth column, but it still does not allow me to dial using bluetooth. I can get it to dial if I add them to my favorites, but not a Poi. Is this possible? Can I convert my csv to another file type and gain this functionality?

I always leave my car charger for the Nuvi plugged in even if the GPS is not being used. Does this still draw power or affect the car in any way? Should I just unplug it? Since I run the cable from my winshield to the center console, I just hate opening the console to plug and unplug it all the time.

Thanks for any info!

Recently updated the sofware (map) on my
Garmin Nuvi 760. I noticed that Point of Interest
(POI) icons do not display on the map while I am navigating as they did with the other garmin GPS like 276c . Is there a way to display the other POI's (icons) while navigating?

I also enjoyed using the compass page and that feature was also omitted in the current Nuvi's.

Please excuse what may be a simple minded question, but I am new to using my nuvi 350. I want to be able to access the NPR stations list while a route is active. How do I go back and forth between the POI and the route? Do I need to stop and re start the route for example.

with appreciation

John

On my Nuvi 660 when I use to touch the map from the track up view it would list the township, borough, city, ETC... Now it says "area".... Any suggestions on how to get it back?

I have a Nuvi 760 which came with the FM traffic receiver. The trial subscription will expire sometime in 6 or 8 weeks. The FM receiver seems to work however I nothing to compare it to. The unit shows me major incidences around Atlanta as well as slow traffic. Here's the dilemma.

When I choose Home on where to my Garmin 750 dosen't show my street It directs me to an adjasent street then off road to my house.Will the new 2009 maps show my neighborhood streets?

Hi,

Well, I've been having nothing but problems with this company. I am just about to contact my credit card company to request a charge back.
