Garmin talk

While installing maps to a SD card using MapSource I noticed that if you installed Brazil on a SD card and then later installed Mexico on the same card, it was like a poi and over-wrote the previously installed map.

Updated to 2009 on my 660 yesterday, went fine, but I noticed something peculiar.

In playing around with my Nuvi750 I found what might be called a quirk.

If you save your Custom POIs to your Nuvi Drive they will be located at X:\Garmin/Poi\poi.gpi

HELP!!! Does anyone know where I can get POI's for Arco Gas in CA, Az,and NV. I have an icon and MP3 file, but now I need the POI file. I could also use the POI files for the Dollar Store and Rubio's Mexican Grill. Thanks.

I assume that the nuvi 200 is capable of putting down a track log. I see now there is a way to enable this:

--a hidden setting that enabled if I used the older firmware 3.40)

Questions

Is there a way to do the bread-crumb thing with the Software version 4.10? (running the new 09 map update if that matters)

Does anyone know if a remote Antena is available for the Garmin 660

Am looking at buying a 705 since i now know my 350 will not accept gpx files for routes. i need to do some more work but i assume the 705 does accept gpx files and display routes?

I want to use the nuvi 350 to display some bicyle routes. i downloaded the gpx file two different ways - directly to the unit and also to the media card. i can see the file on the card via windows explorer. but on the unit, all i can get is directions to the start of the bike ride, not the route itself.

Guys,

I just bought the nüvi 760 and so far am loving it. I never thought I would want one (I have a really good sense of direction and have been reading maps since I was six) but having lived in a village outside London for the past few years, I have seen how cool they are! (It seems everyone has one flavor or another of GPS there.)

Have a Nuvi 680. Was wondering what people suggest as a second unit. Don't need Bluetooth or traffic, just basic unit to leave in a second car that may not even be used that often.
Thanks

First of all, new member here, hello to all.
Read here all morning, sucessfully DL'd various poi's, redlight cams, etc, live tested, all working great!
THANKS!

Making trip to above next month, would love any/all POIs, especially B&B's, as we're shying away from usual hotels.

My c330 is perfect for this trip, also have Garmin GPSMap 60CSX for topo work, etc.

Great site, thx to all.

Is there any reason I can't put trip POI's in the red light alert and get an alert when I'm near a POI? I'm taking a trip to the CAD Rockies and don't want to miss the scenic wonders when I'm off the beaten path.

Is anyone having a problem getting sattelites after loading the update 3.0? Appears to me to be taking quite a bit longer...

Finally upgraded from my ol reliable Garmin eMap to the Nuvi 750....of course, theres not much lacking in the 750 compared to eMap.

However, one thing I have noticed, is there is no way to look up or determine the sunrise/sunset and moon rise/moon set like I could on the eMap.

I used this feature on my bike rides to really guage how much daylight was left.

Thoughts, hints, tips, etc?

After using the POI Loader and uploading .csv files to the device. How do you view them and where do they reside on the GPS?

I tried uploading a .csv file this morning and it appeared to work fine. However, I could not see any POIs from this file (in the case Dunkin' Donuts).

Thanks in advance.......

One, I guess the Nuvi 650 doesn't have a 3D mode like a Tomtom? That sucks! I wish it did (or maybe I am blind) but I don't think so.

I recently bought a Garmin 750. It's my first GPS and I take it with me everywhere I drive -- sometimes just to see how it gets me to places I've been before.

Can anyone that has actually removed the magnet post some pics of the disassembled antenna once the magnet is removed?

I took the antenna apart, but there is a thin piece of foil covering up the area where the magnet is. I don't want to peel it back blindly, so... Can anyone help me out?

Thanks guys!

How long does it take to charge with the USB? Is it charging when you see the computer icon under the Garmin

I had it in a couple of hours and the unit was only charged half way.

I've been spending the entire day trying to update my garmin c330 and add the 2009 update that i bought. Says there is a problem trying to connect with the garmin website and server.

Anybody know what is going on?
