Garmin talk

Hi,

I just want to confirm that there is a maximum number of rows (per single CSV file) POILoader can load, I tried to load 2300+ (ALL starbucks in CA), but POILoad keeps saying it can only load certain number of records. Thanks!

the other day i was using my Nuvi 360 to get to a wedding and noticed i needed some gas so i did a search for near by gas stations while i was still on route to the wedding, anyways after i did that the GPS showed 2 purple route lines which i thought was a bit confusing and i have never seen this before.... is this normal?

I love it when I get a good deal. There's a typical gas war going on in Albuquerque and my MSN Direct Services on the nuvi 680 caught it. How about a .32 savings per galloon between gas stations that were less than a quarter mile apart?

- just lovin' the MSN Direct feature of the 680 :-)

Have seen a few posts here about cases for the Nuvi wide screens. well I have been looking at getting some kind of case for my 200w. I got to lookin' around the house to see if we had any case that would fit the 200w, found a few that fit OK but I found that any case for a Dell Axim 51/51v fit the 200w like a glove.

Just thought I would pass this along.

Does Nuvi760 speaks the names of the roads when navigation?

Thanks.

Hi, i still receipt my new unit nuvi 760, i wish know the differences betwen nuvi 760, 680 and 670, and what is newest, what is the best, thankssssssssss.

I was driving around today and was playing music off the 1GB SD I had loaded up with my favorite songs. It works really well using the FM transmitter feature.

I have a nuvi 660. I loaded School Zone poi with .bmp and mp3 (for voice alert) files using poi loader in it.

When I reach near a school zone, it alerts me by showing it on the screen. But no voice alert, although I have uploaded mp3 file for voice alert.

Does anyone has solution for this.

Thanks.

Hello, everyone. I was just wondering if the Nuvi 650 (my first GPS unit) displays POIs on the map while navigating. I can only seem to go to the "Where To?" section and look at the POIS this way (names of the restaraunts that I must scroll through). I am able to pick a restaurant for instance, and get directions to it, but I am unable to see all the restaurants in the area on the map.

Has anyone ever had a problem with the folding antenna on a Nüvi breaking or wearing out over time from repeated opening and closing? Just wondering about the moving parts and electrical connections since I've had folding cell phone hinge problems over the years.

On the Garmin 660 it is easy to add thousands of poi to an sd card and import into the Garmin.
I have worked on a spread sheet that imports the route i am taking on a trip like from Chattanooga to Atlanta .

In a Nuvi 350,

How many lines can be displayed in a POI?
And how many characters per line?

Thanks

Hi,

Just upgraded from a GPSMAP 76 to a nuvi 750 and love it.

I was picking up a 80K BMW M5 for a client yesterday at a dealership here in Dallas and noticed that BMW is selling some sort of Garmin that looked like a nuvi 350, but it of course said BMW on the front where it usually says the brand name. I noticed though that it says it has Bluetooth? All other options looked exactly like the Nuvi 350. Which Nuvi would that be?

Garmin has updated their 200 unit once again. Use your webupdater to download.

See thread title...

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to avoid toll roads with a Nuvi 760? I couldn't find an automatic function to avoid toll roads. Is this something one would have to do manually via Mapsource? I'll be making a trip to the east coast in a few months and I remember so many toll roads that I wish I could avoid.

Purchased Garmin Nuvi 770 in Nov '07. This was my very first GPS device.

It has MP3 capability which I found it not too useful. I don't mean it's bad. Just not too useful as we have other fantasitic MP3 players like iPod and such.

Would the current files work with Garmin Mobile XT ?

As suggested by some forum members here, I have loaded all of my POI files onto my nuvi 260 one at a time and renamed them as they go on so I can update individual files without reloading all of them. The problem I have is that the nuvi only shows the first 15 or so files. Is this a limitation in the nuvi's OS or did I do something wrong when I loaded all of the files?
