Garmin talk

How many songs can you put on a C580 and if you have room for more than that number is there a way to work around it like having 2 sub-folders E.T.C?

THANKS FOR THE HELP

Hi,
I loaded quite a few POI's on my 660 and they work just fine. I loaded the same list on my 680, and it does not alert to any. I can be right on the parking lot and I have it set to alert me within 15000 feet. Is there any settings I am overlooking? Thanks for any suggestions.

I would like to get Vancouver,Bc,Canada POI,s For my Nuvi 760.

get into the "special" system info section - hold the battery power symbol, then go to the audio output test page.

Set the output to FM and additional choices appear. Pick FM power, and then you can increase the value to 115db. This greatly increased my FM transmitter power, but I have not experimented enough to tell if it reverts back to the lower initial value.

I was going to a place in the city when i realized that i wanted to park in a garage. so i opened the parking map and clicked on the nearest one. I was assuming it would ask me if i wanted to add it to my trip, but instead it stopped my original destination and routed me to the garage. Is there some settings that im missing to add places along the way on a trip without losing your final stop?

Maybe this is common knowledge, but I didn't find anything when I did a search. After purchasing my Nuvi 350 I noticed one of the English voices had the same name as my ex. Not a good thing . I downloaded a hex editor and opened the voice file with it. After a little playing around I found a section of code that had 'screen_name' followed by the name I wanted to change.

I have noticed in several posts here that fellow POI-Factory members wishing they could make areas/roads AVOIDABLE when making routes.

With the new Nuvi 8xx series that is valid option under Navigation "Custom Advoids".

For those who own a Nuvi that can import routes from MapSource (7xx, 8xx, Zumo and any others)also have this option available to them using MapSource.

There has been some recent updates on this site.

Hi....Have a nuvi 650 and I love it. Getting ready for a long road trip and trying to load some POI. I go through the whole process and it says that I have successfully loaded "x" items. Yet, when I go to the "extras" icon, it brings up the "Custom POI" page, but it's blank! Where are they going, and how to I get them to display???
Thanks in advance!!!!

Does the 660 accept routes and waypoints?

Has anyone bought anything from this dealer? They're located in West Palm Beach, FL, and they appear to have incredibly low proces on Garmin GPSr's. I'm looking at a Zumo 550 and they have it for less than $490 new and sealed in the box. Supposedly has all the stuff all the other online vendors offer.

If you've had any experience with this outfit, I'd really appreciate your comments.

Has anyone bought a bracket for their Nuvi? I have a friend who gave me a mount without the bracket.
I have searched Garmin, Amazon, ebay,and others to try to find just the bracket for the nuvi mount. I did find one on ebay for $18.95+ shipping, way to much for a piece of plastic.

I have a nuvi 660..can someone tell me what is Screenshot on and off?..and what is Simulator on and off? and what is Map Outline on and off?...thanks!

Does anyone know which file contains the startup screen image for the Garmin 750.

I was playing around with splash screens and something got corrupted. When I start my 750 the Garmin logo is distorted and then the splash screen is blank. Also, when I plug the 750 into my computer the screen is blank.

I tried deleting all of my jpeg files but that didn't work.

I found a GPX Converter Program to turn .csv files into .gpx files. This was mentioned on GeoTourGuide.com. Does anyone have expereince with this converter? Please, if you have used it, let readers know your thoughts about it. Thanks.

I have a Garmin 760 and have noticed that the name of the street I am on is now showing since the update to 3.1

So i got my first GPS, nuvi 360. I love it. IT's a great little gadget. One thing i noticed though was that it is missing a bunch of places. Like if you go to the "Where To" menu and select entertainment and then movies, it wouldn't list a Century 25 that is the nearest theater next to my house. Similar, with some stores so i started researching...

There are other threads discussing splash screens, but I thought I'd mention this is a new thread. I found a very nice website which allows you to create a personalized splash screen for your Garmin. This is especially useful if you use the Lock feature and your Garmin is stolen or lost. Here is the link: http://www.mynuvi.it/auto_splash/auto_splash_EN.html

My Nuvi 660 just up and quit on me this past week. Fortunately it is still under warranty. I am interested if anyone else has had issues with the 660 not being able to link up with satellites.
