Tour Guide and Nuvi 260W

I want to share this information that I obtained from Garmin International:

"The Tour Guide and Tour Guide alerts will work on the Nuvi 260W. You would use the POI Loader program to load the custom POIs to your unit and create you own Tour Guide Alerts or download ones that you have already created."

Hi Folks

Microsoft Live

In addition to Google Maps and Mapquest, Microsoft's maps.live.com is able to send locations from its mapping service onto "most Garmin navigators" via MSN Direct (wireless) or USB cable.

VIewing POIs on C550

Is there a way to view POIs on a map in the C550? I have over 13000 POIs in the GPSr and want to look ahead on a trip I am about to take and see what POIs are along the way.

Thanks.

760-Position Drifting

I bought a Nuvi 760 and since new (2 months old) it has never held a stopped position. It constantly drifts and spins. It shows the car icon pointing south, then west...then northeast then south. It shows speeds up to 3.5 mph and I'm not moving. I have used a 350 and a 650 and those never moved.

Streetpilot 580 with 550 firmware

Is this common for streetpilots to have firmware loaded from another device. I just updated my 580 and it said it has the 550 firmware on it. Everything seems to be working fine just thought it was a little weird.

Nuvi 360

Received the unit today and registered it, had problems using Firefox 3 so was able to do it on Explorer 7. Now I wanted to install some POI's to it using the POI download program but it won't find the device error message says couldn't communicate. Am I doing something wrong? I loaded a POI into my wife's c340 no problem.
Thanks

POI enroute

Hi Folks
I am starting to download POI (HD Dealers).
Is it possible to have them show up if they are in the area and not on the direct route.
Thanks

Nuvi 200 firmware update "on the fly"??

I was driving along today when my Nuvi 200 beeped - I looked at it, and there on the screen was a box with a message saying "Updating GPS Firmware". A counter then ran from 0% up to 100%, and the box closed. The Nuvi then reacquired satellites and continued to navigate as it had been doing before. What happened?

MSN or TMC the best choice in Dallas/FortWorth area?

question Received this email from a blog reader. Any thoughts? I have a Nuvi 360 and don't have either.

"We are moving from the backwoods of Louisiana to the big city and I think that a traffic enabled gps would be a great help for my wife and I; but, I can't decide which provider to go with.
