Garmin talk

Does anyone know if the Nuvi 260 is able to recieve traffic and/or weather alerts? If so, How do I go about signing up?

Is there any way an external antenna with a usb connection can be adapted to the pin type connection used for the Garmin c330 ? ? ?

I have a c340 and want to know if i can change my blue arrow to one of the new icons that are on the garmin website? I am new to the gps world and need a little help

does anyone know if the estimated arrival time calculated to speed limits of freeways and streets?

Check this out. Hope this is helpful. It was to me as I developed it. Thanks to many of you who answered my questions on this forum over the last couple weeks.

Let me know if you have suggestions and/or corrections.

Since my Nuvi's manual was useless I started playing with the different functions and from there comes my tip of the day.

Just bought a Nuvi 350. POI's are not up to date. My TomTom is much more current. Garmin's support says they do not offer updates. You'd think a new purchase would have POI's that are at least up to date in the last 12 months. Is there anyway to get current? What about updated maps?

I'm a new Garmin Navi 360 user. Last week I loaded in the software update from Garmin. However the Bluetooth version no longers works. It will still recognize my Blackberry Curve but drops it in about 15 seconds. Garmin sent me a file that was suppose to take me back to an earlier BT version. But after installing the BT remains the same (3.0).

I downloaded a POI CSV file into my "documents" and when I tried to retrieve it thru the Garmin POI unloader it wasn't there. What is the procedure to download a POI file then install on the Garmin 200?

I was given a c330 for Christmas a neighbor stood in one of those day after Thanksgiving sales a got 2 330's cheap really cheap. I noticed after messing around with mine I did'nt have the lasteset version loaded on mine after trying to downlaod the update it told me the 330 i had did in fact have the latest update.

is this file available in CSV or GPX format? a lot of custom POI files contain many duplicates to the built-in ones, so maybe I can find a way to eliminate them.

How Do I Load BMP Icons into my Garmin GPS Nuvi 200? I have attempted it with the poiloader without success,
All the POI load grate! but without symbols.
Thanks a lot

Do the maps in a slightly older version of MapSource have any better details/POIs than the built-in maps in a Nuvi 200?

WebUpdater informs me that this item is available. Can't find chipset type under system/about. Loathe to take a chance on bricking my GPS, because I leave on a west coast trip in a couple of days.

Advice? Thanks!

Hi,
What other voices/languages are available on the 260?
I'm specifically looking for Chinese languages that are available on the 200W.

Thank you.

After running the POILoader, all the .gpx files in my POI directory are gone. Does the POILoader delete them after loading?

How can I pull the POIs out of the poi.gpi file? I believe this can be done with MapSource, however I am at work now and don't have all my Garmin related software here.

I just recieved my Nuvi 680 yesterday and up until now i was getting an icon that looks like a cloud with three lightning bolts coming from it. And when i clicked on it it went to a screen and said something like nothing found. I also got this same screen when i clicked on the lower right hand side of the screen that is supposed to take you to the next turn page.

I apologize if this has been answered before. I looked around and searched but have yet to find any information.

Does anyone know if you can copy a portion of a map from Google Earth or Google maps and use that as a base map in the Nuvi? Would it work with the satellite imagery available on those sites?

Okay. I've created a TourGuide for my Nuvi 350! For now, a single waypoint to test the "radius" based proximity. It works great! The GeePeeX editor helped a lot. I have a LINK directory with an MP3 audio file that plays automatically, and 3 JPG pictures.

This leads me to two questions.

...if not faster

See this entertaining Screen Shot from my StreetPilot C510. I'm not entirely sure what triggered this condition - but I wasn't moving at all, let alone going that fast!

The appearance of the TourGuide symbol is interesting too - the StreetPilot C510 doesn't do TourGuides!
