Garmin talk

I seek clarification re the following:
1) Is the POI "Red Light & Speed Cameras" a single file? I seem to have two files in my POI folder, one for each. Now, I am unable to find them as separate POI on this site. I am confused.

2) What is the POI "Checkpoints/safety zones?" Obviously, this file is different from Red Light and Speed Camera, but I do not know the difference.

Thanks

Let me start off by saying I have a new Nuvi 750. Love it. Wife loves it and I love my wife...ha ha ha

That being said, I am having difficulty really grasping the local and daily use of POI's...when really, I could just look the location, store, restaurant.

Is there any way of changing the buttons
come up in the where to feature like having my
extra come up on the first page or routes?

One of my friend at work have a 260 nuvi and he can't get the satelite window. Is it possible on a 260 nuvi?

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with MSN Direct in Montreal (or even Toronto or Vancouver). What is the coverage in Canada like? How up to date is the information?

i recently took a trip to leesburg, va from germantown, md via of white's ferry. i passed about 4 speed traps.. i'd greatly appreciate it if any poolesville people check up on redlight and speedtrap updates because my nav didnt beep once..but i was glad to be driving smart.

My 1st GPSr was a Nuvi 350 which I had to send back after a few months b/c the power switch stopped working. Garmin quickly replaced the unit with a different one, I sold the replacement unit shortly after it returned and upgraded to a 750, but the friend I sold it to is now experiencing the same problem. Anybody else had this problem?

Ok I'm new at this, I drive a big truck and I just got the Garmin Nuvi 350 I have been using Microsofts streets and trips for almost 2 years but decided to try a real GPS I was going to wait and spend the money on a GPS ment for big trucks but was told by several other drivers that you can select truck as an option on most new GPS's and it will give you the truck route.

I have a garmin Ique and in order to import the data I import into the palm addresses. But there there but I cant "search" and find them.

Correct the Ique cant use anything but address book?
Also will I get a little Icon on my map for things imported?

Just came across this and thought would share...

I posted this under the 2009 MAP UPDATES thread and it seemed to get lost (sorry for a duplicate post). This site has been a wealth of information and I'll bet there is someone who knows the answer to the following questions --

I recently purchased a nuvi 760 and I've had some problems.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same.

1. Frequent lock-ups. Screen locks and will not accept screen taps. Have to power cycle to get it going again.

2.Problems with MP3 player. While scrolling through songs, nuvi powers off.

Okay, probably a silly question but I can't figure it out. I have a Garmin 260w and want to see the .bmp icons. Now, from what I read I need to have the map set to 200' view. How do I know if I am set at that view? Where is that info?

Some of the custom csv files that I uploaded to my nuvi 780 don't show all the data - only the place name, the mileage, and the direction.

Yet when I look at the csv file with Excel or Notepad, the fourth column often includes street, town and phone number. Why isn't this additional data showing up on my nuvi screen when I invoke that custom POI?

i have about 35 non vehicle .srf available that i would like to share with the group (some i collected & some i modified to meet my needs)
how would i make these available to POI_Factory members ?

any one have any ideas why Google can't find my nuvi 260w, i have google earth plus

I want to arrange my POI's as an example below.

MY POI ==> List of different POI's as sub categories.

Thanks for help.

I downloaded a poi for San Diego Attractions. In the csv file there is a location for The Gas Lamp district but it doesnt show up in my unit. However, I can do a search for it and it will show up. I can view 50 out of the 140 locations in the file. Why?

Has anyone gained experience with Garmin's Vehicle Integration Box (VIB)?

Seems like a good work-around for the Nuvi 760's FM transmitter - if it's installed and works properly.

Is it possible and/or do any of you know a way of changing (increasing) map refresh rate on a Nuvi? It seems to be about 1 fps.I heard the new Nuvi 250 line will refresh at 4 fps or Is there a comparison chart that shows the refresh rates of various models?
