Garmin talk

Im currently using the nav mat. It works well but sometimes the suction fails. I'm thinking about cementing it to the mat. I would simply put the whole setup in the trunk when not in use. Has anyone gone that route. Any suggestions?

I have a 200W and am curious if there are any other sources of maps than Garmin. And can they be loaded with the SD flash?

Just thought I share this info. You've got the cool Nuvi gadget, but how you can make it better. It's possible to connect your Nuvi to your car audio system with a few purchased supplies. converts the CD Changer port of your factory radio into an auxiliary input.

Hello to everyone. Just purchased my 200w and it looks like a real winner. I should be able to get alot of good stuff from this site as well. May be jumping the gun here, but haven't found any sort of file or folder in the unit for voices. Really haven't had the time to play with it while in the car, but a search at home found nothing. What am I missing?

Does the 200W have the capability of displaying icons? I'v loaded a number of them with POI's but see nothing but the POI name.

ok im slowly figuring this out ,and thank you all for your help.how do i post from my locations to the poi directory. i finally figured out the decimal part,so now i have a store i would like to see on the poi,thank you

I'm building a .gpx file for Port City Java Cafes and need a .bmp and .mp3. Any help would be appreciated. The link is to the web site to help with the .bmp. It would be very cool if it looked like their logo.

trying to get a new poi on the site and it wants a log/lat. number in decimals ,i typed in as it is on the gps and it wont take it ,it say it must be in usa or canada ,any suggestions?

I called Garmin to get the latest map update on December 31. They put the order in. I checked on the status last week, they told me it would be at least a month before it ships. How can it take that long?

hi, I was just wondering if anywone else has had this problem, I turned my nuvi 200w on the other day and I could not get past my password screen. upon a closer look, the touch screen was acting up!!

Just when I thought that I had this figured out, I found again that I don't have it figured out. I created a poi file with 387 rows in the *.csv file, but only 24 show up when I go to Custom POI files and open it and "arrow down" through the listings. Does anybody know why? I have a nuvi 200.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I have a 530 and asked for and received a copy of the 2008 map update. Because I need to have both the US and Canada I wanted to load Canada to an SD card. Before I erased the existing maps on the GPSr I wanted to be sure that the new maps would include certain highway updates. Here is what I found on the latest map source (Dec 4, 2007):

When was the last software update for the 360's released?

Has anyone figured out how to boost the volume of the Garmin sound files? Even at 100% they just aren't loud enough although my recorded MP3's are plenty loud (not that I usually listen to MP3's on the little tinny speaker.)

Thanks
JM

Below are 3 tests that I ran on the nuvi 750 to better understand quotes, commas and line breaks. The CSV file is shown followed by the resulting single line and full display on the nuvi 750. The results may vary on other nuvi’s due to screen size and other factors.

Test 1

-117.22316,32.7257,Holiday Inn San Diego Located by the Water,"4875 N Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA, 92106"

Can someone fill me in on where the phone number goes within the format of a .gpx file?

I have sort of figured out how to create POI files on my PC and then inport or install them on my Zumo.
I would like to have mapsource be able to utilize these POI's but can't figure out how to get mapsource to utilize them.
I can make mapsource create POI's but can't figure out how to make it use POI's it did not create.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi i recently got a garmin 650 , am headed to hawaii in april and want to take my gps with me, I am wondering if it has the maps of oahu, or do i have to down load from garmin site thank you

Hi
Could anyone please help me.
I have downloaded ximage, however the program (ximage)will not find my nuvi. All other programs are Ok, and the system locates the nuvi automatically etc, but not ximage.
I am using vista and wonder if this has anything to do with it.
Cheers, Rod
