Garmin talk

I am new to the GPS world and I am having trouble loading custom POI on my nuvi 650. I am using POI loader and I am getting the following error when I try to load directly to the GPS. (The parameter is incorrect.) I can load them to my SD card, but I have no idea how to get to them in the GPS. I have tried to do this with Windows XP and with Windows Vista. I still have the same problem.

I just downloaded and installed POI Loader to my Apple MacBook. I have attached my Garmin nuvi 750 via its included USB cable. Both the POI Loader program and the Garmin icon show up on my desktop, yet the program doesn't register the presence of the Garmin device (the window wherein you select the device to load the POI onto is blank, and clicking on "Find Device" does nothing).

How do i get my poi's to alert when i'm just passing them. They seem to alert when i route to them but not passing them. I have alerts set but they won't alert when passing within the alert range.

does anyone know how to import a autocad or dwg map to mapsource

Have I missed something or does the 760 not have the ability to know what time zone you are in? It has most everything else, and was amazed that under tools “Where am I” there wasn’t a time zone indication!

Here's another program created by Turboccc to change the default sounds on the 760. Note that the steps for this program are kind of complicated, so please only try this if you are comfortable with computers!!

Here is the link to the program

Hi,

Hello all. I have a household with a Nuvi 750 and three 255w's. I have saved the favorites (the GPX file)from my 750 to a folder on my desktop so I can transfer all the same ones to my 255w's. The problem is after the transfer to the 255w's not all the favorites show up.

Hi,

I would like to know how I determine the software version of my Garmin 260W. When I acquired it, the software version was 3.40, audio version was 1.90, and GPS SW Version was 3.005. I do not recall how I determined these numbers. So, I hope someone will tell me how to do it again. Thanks.

Anybody know how big a mp3 file can be for the 660?

I am a new gps user and am trying to download poi data bases. My gps is a garmin 680.

I have download the POI loader onto my regular computer. I have downloaded a couple of poi data bases onto my computer.
I plug in my nuvi and run the poi loader.
When I get to the screen that asks for the location of the data bases, the files are not recognized.
What am I missing?

GPS Lodge (http://www.gpslodge.com/archives/020731.php) has links to a pink-trimmed Nuvi 200, and red and blue trimmed 205W's for sale. If you're looking to escape the plain black trim you might want to check these out.

I have the 660. Is there a way to reset the unit to factory specs, I think I might have deleted something but not sure?

Wich model as the TTS?
I have a 250W.

Driving down the freeway with my Nuvi 360 I have a hard time with the bluetooth being not loud enough. I noticed that if I put in a headphone jack the instructions and tones come through the headphones. So my thought is trying an external speaker. has anyone else tried that.

I uploaded mutiple POI files, each of them sits in a separate sub folder. I've read that the sub folder name becomes the category name when it gets uploaded. But when I did it today, some category names were correctly following the sub folder name, but some category names were the name of POI files but NOT sub folder name.
Why is this happening? Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong?

If you've ever wanted to modify your TTS voice file, here's an easy program http://turboccc.wikispaces.com/TTSVoiceEditor

I tested it on my 750 and it works perfectly. I finally got rid of the annoying "recalculating"!!

I just got a Nag Screen to update the map on my Nuvi 350 since it was over a year old. Am I going to see this junk screen every time I start the unit ? If so is there a way to get around the screen by deleting a file ?
