Garmin talk

I am in need of some assistance. I recently purchased a C330. According to nRoute, the connection between the software and the GPS keeps getting broken. Any ideas on what may be going on.
By the way, I hope to call Garmin back to see if I can get the map update. I got the free v8 Map Source DVD.

Thanks

Hi,

A friend of mine that does impersonations (ish) has kindly helped me make a Michael Jackson voice for my Garmin. I’ve got this working just fine on my Nuvi 250 and my mates Nuvi 200. It can be downloaded at the following address:

I have a new 360 and use Windows Vista. I have downloaded Garmin's POI Loader and a file of E85 Gas Stations. The file's in a separate folder named Custom POI and is a .csx file. When I run the Loader, it says 'there are are no data files in that directory'. The file is definitely in that directory though. Am I doing something really dumb, or is there some obvious answer?

I have the 350. When I'm driving without going to a specific location and using the map, it will display the direction and speed I am driving.

When I am going to a specific location, rather than showing the speed I'm traveling, it shows eta. I've tried changing it to show speed but no luck. It keeps the eta in (lower left corner display)

Anyone know how to resolve this problem?

I've recently purchased the 350 and I'm trying to make some custom POI's. At the moment, I'd like to make one for a speed trap near my house.

Garmin's New 2008 Line Is The Nuvi 5000 , Nuvi 850 And The Nuvi 880

Does anybody know whether the Total Traffic Network will expand its coverage in Canada to include Vancouver? When??

Hello all,

I am looking for the POI Loader for the Garmin Nuvi 650 that I just purchased. When I check Garmin's website, I don't see any downloads available under the 650 section.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Ed

Is it possible to upload the custom pois from my zumo to mapsource and see them on mapsource? If so...how?

I would like to add some POI's to my garmin C340 but am having a hard time figuring out how to create a POI file. Can some one please help.

The suction cup on my Streetpilot C330's windshield mount cracked after 14 months. I phoned Garmin, and they promptly sent me a new bracket that included a new suction cup. I was told that some of the suction cups were defective. If you have a similar problem, you might be eligible for a free replacement.

Just for my info. i put the address of my work in the 650.It wanted me to take a out of the way route.Even if i went my normal way it would not recalibrate.This is a first for me and causes a concern if i would be going to an unknown destination.
Anyone else had this problem?

can i buy an sd card preloaded with city nav/poi for the philippines?

I'm new to the PND world, have used Telenav on Blackberries (loved it), but had to have the iPhone -- which only has google maps (and currently backlevel too).

Took advantage of some holiday sales and picked up a 660 from Tigergps. Love it ..

How does the nuvi play mp3s?

1) Does it do it alphabetically according to the file name itself? And, if so, would "01 anybody seen my baby.mp3" play before "anybody seen my baby.mp3"

2) Or, does is go by the mp3's tag information? And, if so, would the title play like above, or can you change the track number in the tag information to designate the order of play?

thanks

I am a fairly new owner of a Garmin 760 I received for Christmas. This forum has been great for me to learn how to add POI files and help me utilize my GPSr more effectively.

I am planning a trip to the Northeast and have d/l the POI's for lighthouses and covered bridges in the areas we plan on going, They loaded on the GPS great, but for planning a route I would like to see them on Mapsource on my computer. Is this possible and if it is possible how can it be accomplished?

I have new Garmin 760 and just used the POI Loader to add a custom POI from this site to internal memory. The process went smoothly and I can see the data on my 760 under Where To/Extras/Custom POIs but I want to set proximity alerts but I don't see "Proximity Points" in Tools/Settings. Any advice? Thanks.

I just downloaded and installed garmin POI Loader 2.42 and all I get when I open (run) it is the splash screen. Has this happened to anyone else? I tried re-downloading it but same result. I tried with zumo 550 plugged in and not. ???

Hello all...new owner of a Nuvi 200 here with a simple question. I've been using GPS's since waaaayyyy back (started with a GPS12 and have 4 Garmin products in all) and I'm accustomed to most features, but I can't find out how to do something on the 200 that my simple eTrex does quite well.
