Garmin talk

Do you use Garmins Trips & Waypoint Manager software? I recently installed this product and have problems using the "Help" option.

On Garmin's website, www.garmin.com/nuvifone, they are talking about the release of a new device. A 3G GSM cell phone with a touch screen and GPS built-in. This looks awesome! Does anyone know anything about it? Any Garmin staff who read this site who can tell us about unlocked phone pricing, availability, etc?

John Or Miss Poi if I open Mapsource Up and go to View find position and put in long. & Lat. then make a waypoint and then save that waypoint as a .GPX would I be Able To Send That file To The Garmin Street Pilot 2610

I have a Garmin Nuvi200 which does not come with weather and was wondering if I download the weather for texas would it work on it? Or would I have to have a GPS that came with weather already on it?

i was looking through a circuit city ad today and i noticed they have a nuvi200wc for $199.

nuvi 200wc? when did this come out? i can barely find any info on it and the differences between the plain "w". from the look of the main map interface..it can play mp3's.

did garmin make an all 'new' 200wc jus to add mp3 playback?

I have a NUVI 650. Some day I'll need to change the battery, but it works fine now. I see batteries sold online within reason. But, how do you remove the old and replace the new battery in the unit without damaging it. It does not seem obvious how to open the case.

I just moved to Daphne, AL, right outside of Mobile. Our house isn't even on my Garmin, although I did just update to 2009. There also aren't a lot of the stores I need on it - it is picking up stores in Pensacola but not down the street. I updated the POI's I needed here but is there a area specific download that might help? Thanks!

Has anyone ever seen a railroad icon similar to what Garmin has on their site for us to use in the 760 to identify our vehicle location. ?

Hi,

Can you load pictures onto the Garmin Nuvi 200?

Thanks,

does anybody happen to have a "welcome home" sound file they would like to share?

i want to make a poi for my home and set an alert so everytime i pull up i will get a nice "welcome home".

sorry if this doesnt deserve its own thread, but i looked all over. i even tried the text to speach stuff but it sounds too robotic.

Hi everyone,

I came across this on Ebay.
They are selling it for $130.
Price isn't that bad, but is it real.
I mean, I have searched the net for any info on it, to confirm if it really exists, nothing, not even on Garmin website.

Looked all over the site but can not find definitive "how to" on using sox. Do you even need to use it with the newest version of POI? What does sox do? What directory are you supposed to put it in? Do I download plain old sox or do I choose sox-win?

Hello!

I successfully installed "CNNT2009-update" on my Legend HCx, however I have a question...

Are there any "interim" updates throughout the year? In other words, is there a possibility that Garmin puts out updates to CNNT2009-update? Or if I have 2009 on, anything new will require the 2010-update purchase down the road?

Just wondering. Thanks!

I am using the Nuvi 760.

Is there a way to get the waypoint position information transferred from the device to be in decimal format and separate fields for longitude and latitude since that is the format we need for uploading our Custom POIs? I transfer hundreds of these from my Garmin after each trip, and then I move them into my Custom POI database for future use as needed.

I can't get POI loader to load files on my Garmin 660. I created a folder called Custom POI and have four different downloads in there. when I direct POI loader to that folder and try to get them loaded on my Garmin it says there are no data files in that directory. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Ok i downloaded and istalled POI Loader and all, and it successfully installed onto the Nuvi 660, now how can i look for them to see if they are in system?

I thought i would have a separate folder in Nuvi while being able to browse for the file of "Rest Rooms" i put there

I am attempting to make an initial upload of POIs to my Nuvi 650 - either to the base memory or to an SD card..

I have about 2 dozen POIs selected.

When I attempt an express upload I get an error message: "Unable to read from the device G:/Zio River Resort.jpg"

I just loaded some new POI's and would like to do a simulation. Can I do this on the gps or pc?
I want to find out if the wav files are working correctly.

i find that the nintendo semi-hard Game traveler bag fits great for my Nuvi units. Target has it close to the camera dep. for $14.99

I will be moving from the backwoods of Louisiana to the big city of Dallas in less than a month. I don't know my way around so I will be buying my first gps next week. I've done the research, checked the reviews and decided to get a Garmin with real-time traffic capability.
