Garmin talk

I purchased c330 w/ mapsource v8 deluxe. to me it doesn't have enough information in my town.
is there anyone knows how to get newer version than v8?
Thanks!

Why do I keep getting a message stating the memory is full when loading POI to a SD card in my Garmin C340?
Anyone know what to format the SD card to fat16 or fat32?

I think my garmin is not recognizing my 512mb SD card and is trying load everything into internal memory.

I didn't see anything in the manual about it (could have missed it but don't think so)....was stuck on I-77 in West Virginia for three hours and not smart enough to try it. On I-95 in Florida I hit traffic stoppage and tried the detour button - it wanted to send me 8.7 miles down I-95 (where the traffic was) and then someplace else.

Is my Garmin Nuvi 350 supposed to come with the ability to use Mapsource software on my computer? I don't seem to have that ability right now. I downloaded Mapsource, and it won't run because it doesn't detect a previous version of Mapsource. Grr.

Somewhat over a year ago, our city added a new street that is about 8 blocks long. It eliminates the right then left turns previously needed to escape my neighborhood and enters the old street (on the Garmin map) about 1/2 mile north of the original intersection.

My C330 is lost as soon as I enter this new street. It cannot recalculate a new route until I have traveled to the street it recognizes. Screen shows the icon and a moving picture but no road or the numerous side roads leading from it.

hey one question whats the difference in the memory

Does the USB port charge the nuvi350, while it is plugged into a computer?

I just bought a Garmin nuvi 660 for my wife for Christmas. She loves it, of course, there are many things to learn.

She has a Blackberry 7105t (fancy pda phone). The new Garmin will not wirelessly take the phone book from her phone. On her phone it is actually an "address book". Is anyone aware of a back door method to accomplish this task?

We have emailed Garmin but got no response yet, I imagine there are pretty busy.

Hello friends,

I bought Garmin C330 GPS. I was reading someone's comments on the internet that it does not work properly in downtown areas where there are tall high rise buildings.
Is it true?

I will appreciate your comments.

I have the 330 and mounted it between the two front seats (on the counsel)

The only issue I have is that it will take a awhile to get a signal at start up. Driving seems fine and i don't lose the signal (well a few times).

I am thinking of getting the GA 27C low profile remote automobile antenna. The lowest I have seen is $60.00. I would place this on the windshield and run it back to the unit.

What's the easiest way to load specific poi's (addresses) on to my nuvi 660. I have businesses and contacts in Outlook email files that I would like to load into the GPS. I knw how to export the address information from Outlook to a file. What do I need to do or where could I find out more on how to do this?

Well, I tried to use my Flying J POI this week, but I had a problem.

Situation: Navigating to central California. The C320 wouldn't alert as I approached the Flying J location. It did alert on California Rest Stops and Starbucks locations, so long as they where directly in front of me on my line of travel. Flying J's of course are not located directly on the freeway. Neither are most Starbucks.

Has anyone considered or even tried to set up a Garmin for a golf course?

What exactly is this program for? Why would anyone need it if their GPS Unit already seems to have this info stored on the unit? THe manual for my SP c330 says the maps are protected from over writing and can not be accidentally deleted so if they can not be accidentally deleted why would one need to get this software?

I don't understand the Free Update thing. It says on Garmin's Webpage

If you purchased a locked MapSource product ON or AFTER the release date of an update, you are entitled to an unlock on the newer version of that product for free.

Ok...so I figured out how to get the files downloaded to where it looks like it should be on the nuvi, but the POI are not when I look at the Custom POI list on the unit. I am using the POI loader to get the files under the garmin/poi folder. How do i get the files to actually show up though?

I downloaded your csv files to a folder on the desktop. started the loader software, followed directions but I don't have the new data when I search "stores" and type in IKEA for instance. I only have what came with my unit?
Any ideas what I forgot?

My Garmin i3 would occasionally lose it's suction grip on the windshield. I found the problem to be more me than it. Try mounting the base by holding onto the unlocked lever ONLY (with both hands if needed). Then, very FIRMLY, push the lever toward the glass. Lock the lever while still pressing the lever very FIRMLY toward glass. You should notice more force is required to lock the lever because this method squeezes out as much air as possible resulting in greater suction.

Can you make the car on the screem smaller???

Anybody got any good tips that a newbie wouldnt know on this device???
