nuvi 200w picture viewer

I've noticed that when using the picture viewer, it's incredibly slow to load thumbnails, and then when you select a picture, it takes a while to load, and then disappears back to thumbnail mode within 3 seconds.

Any known issues with the picture viewer or am I screwing something up here that I don't realize?

Where can I load those files on the Nuvi 770, can I place them in a directory on the Nuvi drive?

MP3 Categories

My nuvi 360 has default mp3 "Genre" categories such as Classical, Electronic, etc. Does anyone know how to create or add to these categories and if files on the sd card can be placed in existing or new categories?

I put a file on the sd card and when I select Genre, it appears in the "Unknown" category. Huh?

680 Charging

Just bought my NUVI 680 and have a question. When I connect it to the AC charger, the unit comes on automatically just as if I pushed the power button.

Is this normal?
When I push the power button when AC charging, the quick settings volume & brightness appear.

I did a search and couldn't find any info on this.

Thanks.

Missing POI information

Hi, I am a new GPS user, just purchased a Nuvi 260 and was wondering why certain older businesses did not show up while newer locations of the same chain (name) appeared. Any help appreciated, Thanks!

New Nuvi's

I know Garmin wants you to buy a new unit for everyone they make, and I'm glad they are making new ones, but I see alot of people with 6xx angry they couldnt upgrade to certain features of the 7xx, and now so quickly release the 8xx. What are we supposed to do sell our used ones for half, and pay top dollar for each new one.

Language Pack & Extra Languages in the "Voice " directory

I have the Language Pack installed on my Nuvi 770, when I deleted all of the extra languages from the voice directory to make extra room, I had lost all the spoken feature of the Language Pack.
Does anyone know which languages should be left undeleted in the "Voice" directory so that the Language Pack is not affected.

poiedit

I downloaded poiedit to my PC. Now when I download csv files from this site instead of being in excel they are in the poiedit format as are all other POIs on my computer. Now the problem. The excel files have 4 columns--Lat, Lon, Name, and address. However the poiedit files only have 3 columns--lat,lon,and address. The name is missing. What am I missing or is that just the way it is.

New Vehicles and Nuvi 200

A new user here again. Is it posible to add new vehicles such as the Navi_girl.srf to a Nuvi 200 for use in pedestria mode?

If so, how? Does the POI-LOADER hadle that too?
