Garmin talk

I downloaded and installed this today. No smoke came pouring out -- so far, so good. I will take it out on the road tomorrow and see if I can detect any problems. Sorry, but I don't remember exactly what the release notes said. Something about working better with PC software.

Now available via WebUpdater. Any Guinea pigs?

Changes from version 3.10 to version 4.10:

• Improvement in MAD Maps performance.
• Added Australian traffic support.
• Corrected reboot issue while installing language guide at power up.
• Corrected shutdown issue associated with an active proximity alert or tour guide alert.
• Support for more GPI files.
  

I read it somewhere here that Acura MDX's navigation system is actually Garmin GPS with a prettier face. Is this true?

I am a new user who installed two POI's on a nuvi 350 and have two very basic questions. any help is greatly appreciated.

Initially, what is the difference from my viewpoint of a single alert and a continuous alert. Secondly, how do I turn off an alert once it has appeared?

I got the Mexico City navigator 2008 maps. I went to add one province/state to my nuvi 200 using mapsource. However, it completely erased my North America 2009 maps. Is there a way to subsequently add a map section without erasing the current mapset?

Thanks.

The poi uploader from Garmin is evidently different for PC (windows) and Mac. I downloaded the beta version for Mac OSX. ( the only one I could find) Is it possible to enter something manually? Everything seems to be automatic and I find no access to proximity settings or alerts. Did I miss something somewhere?

Hi,

Not sure, but I think I have a problem. I downloaded and installed the RestAreasCombined(Ver.D).csv. It shows New York as one of the states covered. However, when I look at the rest areas it shows the closest one to me as being 1823 miles away (REST AREA WB I-90 MM381).

I'm in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn New York.

Is this correct?.

Mike

Greetings All,

This is my first post.

I recently downloaded the POI loader for my Zumo 550. I also downloaded the rest area POI's from this site. I then downloaded the data to my Zumo.

However, I don't know how to know for sure if they're installed. What I tried to do was to zoom to an area where I knew there was a rest area to see if it was on the map. It wasn't.

Map freezes while navigating with the GTM-20 attached.
If I navigate the same routes on battery power, no problem. If I attach the GTM-20 at home using AC adapter, and simulate navigation, no problem.

I won a Street Pilot C340. While driving my Garmin will say a "better route is available". Why does it do this and what can I do?

I have a Nuvi 780 and it seems like it takes the MSN direct reciever forever to load the gas stations names and addresses when I look them up on my GPS. I have the MSN Direct subscription. I was wondering does anyone else have this same problem.

Nuvi 780

I bought a Nuvi 260 and it didn't come with any CDs. Can someone help me get started on creating a map and uploading it? I will be in Kathmandu for the next few months and ideally I would like to scan or download a map for the city and upload it to the unit (if that's possible). Is this the right approach? Thanks for any help.

Anybody out there know anything about the TTS Voice Editor ?

Hi everyone,

Just asking everyone here at the POI Factory to help the Nuvi880 users in requesting a fix for the 880. I wrote tech support requesting the following.

Hello,

All of the sudden when I turn on my Nuvi 660 it won't connect to any satellites. I called Garmin and they weren't much help. The unit is out of warranty so if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

When I installed it a couple months ago I noticed the announcements for turns would be too late. I saw other models with different fw report the same thing. I tried going at slower speeds but it still persists. So I downgraded the fw. Anyone have the same issue?

is there any way to set the POI files for warning 0.3 miles from the camera on the 60CSX regardless of speed ??
Also does the POI count towards the 500 favorites waypoint totals on the 60csx ??

Will be travelling from Chicago to AStlanta. Does the street pilot show rest stops and fuel locations on its map?

i have just paid for and loaded 2009 map source on my 2610 about 3 weeks ago.i bought another 2610 recently.can i somehow use the same updates on the other one without paying again?

I just recently installed Garmin's 2009 map update on my Nuvi 350. The detail on the map at highest setting looks better, but it seems that the unit is a bit more sluggish to respond / update screen while driving. Anyone else notice this?
