I have not yet activated my MSN Direct Receiver, and I'm not sure I ever will.

Recently I bought a Nuvi 350 & 360. The screen is much brighter and the sound is somewhat louder on the 350 compared to the 360. Also the AC and car charger are different between the two models.

Hi ... I violated the prime directive (if it ain't broke don't fix it) today and tried to update my new Nuvi 205 using the dreaded Webupdater. Well, I now have a "system software missing" message and cannot reboot/reset or turn the device off. Suggestions? I THINK reverting to version 2.7 would help BUT cannot find anything that I can load without the Webupdater.

Thanks for reading

I have successfully downloaded CSV files and BMP files from POI Factory. I would like to download MP3 files associated with certain CSV files and from the library. When I follow the link to the sound (MP3) file, it loads and plays but I can't figure out how to download it.

I'm using Windows Vista.

Is there a way to set the Garmin 260W so that Custom Icons of POIs will show up on the "Map View" as you approach an Interstate Exit? For example,say there is a Wendy's and an Arby's at the next Exit I am approaching. A Custom Icon will show up on the Map for the Wendy's and the Arby's.

Thanks

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I just got the Garmin nuvi 360. I was trying to download some POI files but not having luck.
I downloaded POI loader and the POI files. When I run POI loader and select the folder that contains my POI files, it tells me there are not .cvs files in the folder and won't let me continue. I know they are there because I can open them. Any suggestions?

I think my 760 went drinking without me yesterday. For some reason, it showed me going in correct direction, but I showed me traveling about 1 street over to the left, which was out of line. I turned the unit off for about 10 seconds, then turned it back on and it seemed to have corrected itself. Any idea what may have happened. My 11 yr old daughter got a kick out of it, though.

My handsfree bluetooth displays my name and number when paired to my blackberry. However my blackberry is programmed not to show this information. I don't want this information to show on my Nuvi. Any suggestions would bemost helpful

I have a Nuvi 760, and it's a nice feature that the music icon appears on the map page,
so you can switch back and forth easily between the two.
But how do you turn off the music icon when you don't want to listen to music anymore?

I've hit the stop/pause button in the MP3 player, yet the icon still shows on the map screen. So far the only way I can get it off is to cycle power.

does anyone have experince with the GeePeeEx Editor ?
i own a nuvi 760 & 680 and wondering if it benefit me to use this program. i normally use google map / send to Gps

HI am new to GPS and was wondering if folks out there can point me in the right direction.

I'd like to see about taking a E911 Map of my county and then making it available someway on my GPS or a higher end GPS.

For example .... my county has a County Road 5 which shows on the GPS as CR-5 but in E911 terms it is like 151st Street.

I am new to POI and GPS.

I have a low end unit and I noticed today while driving through my town that the street names didn't appear.

I didn't have a course routed but just had it set to Map and was driving around.

The other day I drove around and they all showed so I'm not sure if I changed a setting or something or what.

Any advice?

I have a .wav file for one of my custom poi's. I'm wondering how do I convert it to a .mp3 so I can instal lit on my unit so it is associated with a custom poi.

I received my new Nuvi 760 from Costco yesterday and had a problem with some software updates. I finally got the unit registered using my wife's computer (Vista) during my 180 minute wait, but it said I had to pay $69.99 to update to 2009 maps from the 2008 maps installed.

I was just on Amazon and they now show the 205 + 255 in stock. Price 205=$180.47...255=$267.04.

i went to Walmart and found in the women's bag department this wallet with a belt loop in the back and the front gas a snap closure- fits great for the nuvi 680 & 760 only $9.96

I seen this on buy.com today 6/27/2008

I got one of these in April. Looks and worked like new.

Garmin don't seem to have made much of a spash over the launch of this (or I missed it!).
