Garmin talk

Would like to find out if there is any update for nuvi 660. The last update was in May 2008. Someone told me that Garmin is dropping nuvi 660. Does that means that there will be no more update for my nuvi 660? I bought mine back in December 2007..not even 1 year..no map update..Garmin's dropping it..What the hell?

Edit: Ran updater and found an update not listed at Garmin...

I'm backing up mine prior to doing update.

When I downloaded a file here a .csv file, it opened in Microsoft excel on my desktop. I then downloaded the icon and alert and put them into 1 folder and then launched poi loader and everything worked... Well sort of.. .csv files wont alert me if I'm coming up on one of my custom poi's unless it's on the same road...

As the title says, is there a way to verify that they installed before hitting the road?

Thanks.

What is a Tout Guide Alert? Is it available on Nuvi 260?

Thanks.

I have the Nuvi 760 and was successful downloading the E85 stations across the US, the custom E85 icon, and the custom gas alert (mp3) Thanks to this forum However, today was the first day that I tested it... I had to go to a grocery store, but on the way there, exists an E85 station..

I like to listen to books and I download them from the Los Angeles Public Library for free, in the past, I listened to them on my mp3 player.
When I got the 760 I was aware that it would play books so I was puzzled when the books I downloaded would not load to the nuvi until I noticed they are protected WMA files. They can not be changed to mp3 files.

My c580 started to lose sattellites all of the sudden... Is there anything I should do ? Do i have to buy a new one? Which units are good on the market.. I paid almost 600 when it first came out.... Tried to email garmin, but I can't find their email address... Can someone help.... please.....

I am still leaning how POI's work, so please be patient with me. I have a Nuvi 680, and loaded (or so I thought) a couple different POI files via POI loader. When its finished, it say "congats, you installed x-amount poi's. However, I cannot find them in the nuvi itslef, not do I get alerts. Not sure if either of these are suppose to happen.

Perhaps someone can answer this. Wall-Mart is offering a Garnim c550 for 198.00. What is the difference from the garmin 550?. Thanks for any input. Bill T.

I saved POI in SD card. I don't know how to activate from my Garmin Nuvi 760 GPS.Please explain step by step.

Once I program in a POI, how do i find it again when i need it?

I need to program in all of the "CFN Commercial Fuel Network" locations.
I was thinking about programming them into Favorite Locations, instead of POI's.

I need to be able to select a FIND CFN option, and get to the closest gas station.

Is this possible using POI's, or should I just stick to the Favorite places?

:?

I have the Garmin 760 and therefore and this is a blurb from the Garmin website. With route planning you can save 10 routes, specify via points and preview simulated turns on the 760's wide screen.

I have my POIs setup in Folders like "Fast Food","Attractions","Rest Areas"..etc. I have set Manual alerts for each POI in each Folder. I just updated my "McDonalds and "Starbucks" with the new POI updates listed on this site. When I went to upload these new ones into my Garmin I had to Manually set "All" the Alerts for All my POIs not just the new updated ones.

I have never used the "downloaded" version of the update, only the DVD update. When I use the DVD version, when all is completed, I have the 2009 maps loaded on the GPS SP2820 AND it is loaded in Mapsource.

My question is:

Does anyone know of way to get a Garmin nuvi 2xx to display the title of a Custom POI on the maps like Favorites are? Is it possible?

It seems when I enter a destination, the estimated time is right on when I get to it... but I usually drive 15-20 over the speed limit. How do they estimate the arrival time?

Rookie Problem #1--

I was just looking through the Garmin Site, and I can not find the program to create and upload POI files to my Nuvi 350.

Rookie Problem #2--
Is there any easy way to take a list of addresses (in a CSV file), and easily create a POI file?

trying to veiw all the pointer files on my computer they dont show up . says not supported. i have a Sony with windows vista what do I do?

I've had my c530 for almost 2 years now and I'm looking to upgrade. Sam's Club has a nuvi 750 for $299. This seems like a pretty good deal. The features look like it would make a good upgrade. I like the ability to create routes with multiple waypoints. I'm not really looking for anything Bluetooth compatible. What I guess I'm asking is, would the 750 be a good upgrade from the c530?
