adding proximity sounds

I recently downloaded a custom poi and put on my GPS Garmin StreetPilot C550. I did the manual input and had download the sound for golf courses. When I used my GPS to go to the golf course all I get is a double bell and not a voice stating " approaching a golf course ". Is there anything I forgot to do? The sound for the golf course is in the same file as the golf course.

How to make supplementary maps for Nuvi 350

Nuvi 350 has the capability of adopting supplementary maps on SD card, according to the menu. Since I bought the unit recently, I've been trying to find ways to make Adirondacks trails maps, but no avail so far. If you have tried and succeeded, would you mind sharing? thanks in advance.

Mapquest directions

I sent Mapquest directions to my Nuvi760 and now I can't find it anywhere. I checked Favorites, Routes, recently found.ect. To varify that is was sent I sent it again in Waypoint format and in Route format. I even saved it to 2 locations, my Nuvi and my Nuvi card. I still can't find it. I do see the gpx file on my card so I assume it is also in my Nuvi.

Remove windshield mark.......gently?

With all the stories of GPS theft, I'd like to move my unit off the windshield.
Does anyone have a method to gently remove the residual ring from the windshield. I'd like to remove it, but I don't want to cause any damage to the windshield in the process.

Is MapSource Installed with Map Update 2009?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but will the MapSource application be installed on my PC when I run the 2009 Map Update, or do I need to install it separately?

Thinking about starting a business

I was thinking about starting a small business involving putting POIs on gps systems and selling them to tourist areas. Does anyone know an easy site to create and load custom pois?

When I create the files can I load them into an easily accessible file that the tourist can open and search for pois?

How do I use a POI in MapSource?

I've got my RT-66 trip planned with 90 POIs in a TourGuide. I've also used a number of H-D location POIs. I used the Garmin MapSource to make 30 daily routes. I've loaded the TourGuide and POIs as Waypoints to use making these routes.

speed alert

Is there anyway to make a poi file or something that will give a speed alert for the hole highway that you are on if you exceed the speed limit and not just the poi location but the complete road?

I though that I had read something about this on the site before. I've tried looking on the site but didn't come up with anything.

POI Sound Alert

Hi all, I recently installed a POI set for I-95 speed traps from this site. I also downloaded the mp3 file to go along with it. I used Garmin's utility to load the poi, and I put the MP3 in the same folder as the poi's to be uploaded, named it appropriately, used the utility correctly, but I have no sound when I have an alert.

Somewhat new to GPS

Recieved the StreetPilot c330 for Christmas 07'. I was wondering if bike routes could added to it, and used on the trails as I ride, instead of buying a new unit for $$$$$. I was also wondering why POI's don't show up while I'm driving, and only when I brouse the map.

Thanks for any help.

Listen to MP3 thru auto radio

I have a Nuvi 350 which has a head phone jack. Has anyone ever connected this audio output to their auto radio? I suspect this is frequently done.

My car radio does not have a front panel audio input but I suspect it has one on the back of the unit although I have not had the unit out of the car, which is a 2004 Ford Explorer. Any thoughts?

Help with Garmin 760

Hello. Need a little help if I can. Have a 760 and had 2.9. For some reason, it froze. Someone said to try to reboot, which I think I did. Now, Webupdater doesn't seem to work on it. When I hook up the 760 to the computer with USB, the line doesn't go across the screen of the 760. Any words of wisdom?

Thanks in advance.

Custom POI's (how they show up on nuvi 660)

I have a nuvi 660 software version 4.40. After I load my custom poi's should they show up when I power up and then click View Map, or do I have to go to extras>custom poi's>map to see them, or is something wrong with my nuvi

c340 and battery

Unfortunately, my wife left my c340 "on" for about 6 hours while she was at work.

It was not plugged into the car-charger, and now the unit appears "dead." Even when plugged into the charger, the USB cable on my pc, or in the car with the car charger cable, the GPS is not coming on.

Have a list of local speed cameras, how do i make my own prox alerts

Ok so I have been looking all over and I haven't found a way to make my own proximity alert file easily. I have a VERY accurate list of speed cameras both mobile and affixed in my area and I need to make a file so my gps will remind me where they are. What is the easiest way to take this information and have it on my garmin 650? I find it annoying that we can not enter this into the gps manually.
