Garmin talk

Hi all! Thanks to all for the fantastic information. I received a nuvi 660 for Christmas. Awesome GPS! I have read on some of the posts here that POI's can and can not be stored on sd cards. If they can, how is this done?

Since I'm not planning to use Audible, can I rename the button on my screen? Does anyone know how much memory is devoted to this? Can the software be removed to allow other file types or is that not necessary? Does Garmin have a delete program?

I'm a little confused about where to store my ever growing POI file. Can it stay on the SD card or does it have to be stored in the unit's memory? Right now I have a poi.gpi file on both. Is there a limit to what the device itself will hold? (I'm sure there is.) I have a Nuvi200. Thanks....

Hi:
I loaded a number of poi from rhode island onto my sd card in the nuvi and when it asked if I wanted to load them so that they would be there when card removed, I said yes. I don't see any extra categories, I added beaches, lighthouses and general attractions. Where would I find the custom ones in the nuvi 200?
Thanks, Patsy C.

I can pair the 660 with the 700p, complete with the phone book. My problem is that when I turn on the 660 the devices won't pair until I "wake up?" the 700p. The phone is on but the Palm function off. As soon as I activate the Palm function the devices pair. Does anyone have a solution?

How do I turn off the MapSource waypoints? I was playing around with my new nuvi 350, and downloaded mapsource. Now it's got all these extra waypoints turned on that slow down the map drawing quite a bit. Thanks for the help.

I am new to this website and was curious if there are any POIs for the Kansas City metro area?

How do you Create a Playlist in nuvi 350?

I am trying to locate the address 167 lotus drive indianapolis in 46032, but all my c330 will show is 167 lotus road which is incorrect. It autopopulates I need to know how I can get that address correct?

Nuvi 650. I was viewing some pages of icons on the device and now I can't get back to them. How do I view all the symbols/icons on the device?

Hello All.

I'm new here (obviously). I received a Garmin C340 for Christmas from my Mom. Actually, it's a gift to share with the fiancée too.

I used it for the first time yesterday while traveling to my aunt's house. It's somewhere I've been before, and the c340 took me the way that I normally go.

I was very pleased.

How do I delete a single POI from the many I have saved? I know the POI loader allows for deletes, but that is removes all of them.

Hello,

Hi
Could anyone please advise what I need to do to get my map unlocked.
I have a nuvi 660 and have two maps that I use Australia and New Zealand. The Australian map is the default installed map and I use the NZ map on an SD card.
I have received updates for both maps – The NZ map I used “Map Source” to load onto the SD Card – No problems I can load Way points etc.

I see that the current version of the poi loader for windows has a removal feature. In the version that I have for the Mac,it doesn't seem to have the removal feature. Throwing out the poi.gpi folder in the garmin icon on the desktop doesn't remove any files from my gps. So anyone know how to remove custom pois from the nuvi 200 on a mac?
Thanks for the informative forum.

What uses do you folks have for a cookie or bread crumb trail to see where you've been? I test drove a Nuvi 760 for a few days with that feature and I personally don't have a "use" for it. I am a commercial driver, no routes, I drive 12 hours a day minimum to new 10-12 new addresses each day and i still didn't see where that feature would benefit me.

I currently own two Garmin bean bag mounts. Purchased one for my old GPS V. Another came with a 2610. Now I own a Nuvi 760. I almost can't stand the thought of having to purchase an entirely new bean bag mount when all I need is the plastic adapter. Of course Garmin support is no help.

Anyone have a beam bag mount that they don't need the plastic adapter? Let me know...

i was using my nuvi 360 in my car w/o the unit plugged into the 12v outlet. after about 3-4 hours the unit suddenly shut off w/o warning. i figured maybe the battery died but it should have given me a low battery warning. i plugged the unit into the 12v cigarette lighter but the unit struggled to turn on. it would turn back on for about 10 seconds then shut off.

I have a Garmin Map Update 2008 that has not been installed. I no longer have the GPS that it was going to be installed on. If I load this update to a computer now,(can it even install without a GPS attached?) will I later be able to update an older Garmin 330 or some other Garmin?
