Garmin talk

I loaded some custom POI's and everything seems to be good except the distance to at least some(haven't checked all) of the places seems to be wrong. One in particular shows 130 miles away but the maps show it 190 miles. I've Looked at both and they are the same place (Jacksonville AR and Baxter MO). Anybody have any such problems or suggestions what may be my problem?

Changes made from version 6.12.3 to 6.12.4:

Fixed an issue detecting some Garmin mass storage devices.
Fixed an issue at application startup when the expected code pages are not installed on the PC.
Fixed a layout issue in the Czech language waypoint dialog.

I want to know how I can EDIT the pre-loaded POI's/Waypoints. I have found some that are incorrect and want to edit, such as names, telephone, etc. I have a 2720 and have contacted Garmin on this, and they say it is not possible and that I will have to purchase version 9.0 Mapsource when released.

If you're new to the world of GPS receivers, and want to learn the basics go to Garmin's GPS Academy where you can get acquainted with what a GPS receiver is, and what it can do for you. Even comes with a "Miss GPS" as the teacher.... ;)

Hi,
im a part time trucker using Garmin Nuvi 360. The issue with Gps as im presuming you already know is that it doesnt route you difrently beside choosing vehicle as truck rather then car etc.
I was wondering if there is a POI files that will deliver No Trcuk Zones for Usaand Canada?

I would appreciate any help

There is an update to version 3.70. Seems to be some minor changes. May or may not be worth it to some.

POI Loader Ver. 2.4.1 as of Apr 25, 2007 is available on Garmin site if you still did not get it.

Does anyone have a trick on getting the Suction Cup for the 660. It is getting hot here in ATL and my suction cup keeps falling off the windshield. How can I stop this from happening?

Thanks for the help.

Recently my Garmin nuvi 350 is stuck on "Acquiring Satelites" for a long, long time... Sometimes even 1/2 hour or more.

I'm running the latest (4.60) software version on the device.

I did the following things to try to solve the problem:

• Power Cycle (still no satelites)
• Reset (still no satelites)
• Cleanup (still no satelites)
  

Ok is another in Italian site, but contains all the useful tools, icon, SRF<->PNG converting, vehicles, voices

bye.

Is it possible to download a USGS chart, install it on the Garmin 270 and enable GPS tracking on it. If so, please direct me to software etc. that provides this capability with plain language directions. Thanks.

Hello i have a nuvi 660 i am new to this sport
my question is
can i put More then one different poi files in the nuvi ?
or i have to remove the old one

thanks

Hi everyone. I'm planning on upgrading my c320 due mainly to the fact of the whole storing of POI's only on it's internal memory. Just to make sure I've got this right, the nuvi 350 does allow storing them on the SD card, right? Also if you have a nuvi 350, how do you like it? Thanks.

Anybody in the Atlanta area who just purchased a Nuvi 660 in the last month, do you have a reciept for your unit that I could have a copy of?

Ive loaded some custom POI files.
On one file for rest areas, I put @0 just to try to create a spped or any tiyppe of alert.

I ran webupdater and said version 5.50 of the unit software was available. Interestingly, I don't see it listed on the Garmin site! From what I recall, the update from 5.40 to 5.50 includes improved Mac support and improved custom POI function. But my memory is a little fuzzy on the specifics.

Has anyone used an external mounted speaker with their Nuvi?

Not through the radio , but it's own separate speaker?

I just picked up a Garmin 360 and am getting used to it. The POIs Garmin installed and the ones I manually added appear on the screen as I drive by them. I downloaded some POIs here last week (great site, by the way) onto an SD card. I did not install them onto the 360's drive. I can access them fine through the "My Custom POIs" button and they take me where I want to go.

hi,
can some one hel me to do this

Well the inevitable has happened ... I left my Nuvi mount in a rental car.

What is the best place to buy a winshield mount for a Nuvi 350.
