After loading the 5.20 update, the currency converter does not work correctly.

Has anyone else had this issue??

Has anyone done this? I've created routes with newly acquired Mapsource v 6.13.6 and named the route and tried to transfer the route to my Nuvi 760. The status window said the tansfer was successful but when looking on the Nuvi I do not see the route created via MapSource. I only see routes I created on the Nuvi.

I did choose "Send to Device" and made sure Routes was selected.

I d/l the Illinois state parks.csv and tried to load it in my 660. But it failed. I opened it up and found a different layout than I use for my 660. I looked at the author and noticed he has a Magellan and I figured that they must use a different format. I tried POI Verifier, but that was a no-go. And idea's on a quick way?

Firmware Version 2.40 is available

* Added support for Madmaps.
* Added support for enhanced circular routes. The unit will detect when routes are circular and adjust the start and stop point to the point where you actually enter the route. (Existing routes will be cleared.)
* Added support for TTN Canada Traffic provider.

Does anybody know how many custom POI files I can load on a Garmin C330?

has anyone updated to those versions? If so, any problems?

Has anyone used there GPS for listening to audio books on long trips? How much free space on a card is needed? Where do you download them from, and what do they cost? Are they abridged, or the whole shooting match of a book? Thoughts? Advice? I do get tired of listening to the same songs ad nauseum, and I've got a couple of long trips coming up.

I recently purchased a new lap top, downloaded the POI loader which was good, but for what ever reason the POI icon did not appear on the desk top, like it did on the PC. Being some what new at garmin and computers could some one let me know where the icon went or how to creat a short cut for the desktop. Thanks for the help. RVN4US

Does anyone have any recommendations about which files to add to a new 650? We will be full time RVing and I want to add RV parks and whatever else might be suggested but I am VERY confused by the list of options. Suggestions for the best files would be appreciated.

I bought a 2GB card for my Nuvi and am interested in using it to store pictures and waypoints. Do I have to create folders on the card then install or does the Nuvi take care of that for me? What do I do to manage the extra space?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

My understanding is I can not use mapsource or any other PC based system to plan a route or set waypoints. That is a tradeoff of buying the low priced unit and saving $100.

how do you install all schools in cincinnati to the garmin nuvie650????

An update for the Nuvi 6XX Bluetooth option released today. Easy Web Updater install.

Changes from version 2.80 to version 3.00:
Improved phone ring-tone support
New special pairing mode for some phonebooks
Improved support for text messaging

I uploaded my Nuvi 660 with POIs. The POI file containns only longitude, latitude and location name. I uploaded icons and mp3 files as well. When I checked the Custom POI on my Nuvi, the locations were indicated on the map with their icons . But, when I'm navigating (driving), my POIs does not appear on the map. Is there a way to view my POIs while navigating?

Most of the Zumo users here are probably users at the Zumo Forums, but just in case you haven't seen this.

hello all! thinking of buying a nuvi 350. reading on garmins web site says it will hold up to 500 waypoints. reading thru the online manual, i see no way to access the waypoints. what i am trying to find out i guess is this, can i do itinerary planning on the 350? can i download itineraries made by others and load them into the 350 and how do you access them?

I have a Nuvi 660 and just bought a 650.

I'd like to copy some things from the old unit the new one.

Does anyone know the files that I need to copy from the 660 to the new unit to get my:

Favorites
Recently Found
POIs

thanks

Albuquerque isn't quite up to date with full Traffic functions yet. So I was pleasantly surprised on my trip to Seattle and for the first time got to experience the dynamic content for Traffic from MSN Direct in full.
