Garmin talk

Hey all,

just wanted to know if there is a way to make the custom POI Icons that I download from here as large as the icons that show up on my map such as banks and gas station icons?

TIA,

Got a message on my 855 today:

Updating Garmin remote firmware.

After turning unit off/on, didn't come back.

Comment(s)?

If you look on the Garmin website for a particular Nuvi model there is now a "Find a Dealer" button on the page. If you click on that button you are taken to a basic world map where you enter a dealer type and aa address/zip code and get a map showing Garmin dealers that meet your criteria.

In the lower right corner of that map screen it says the maps are from Nokia/Microsoft.

Hi!

As explained in my first post at:
http://www.poi-factory.com/node/43043

I have recently purchased a Garmin Nuvi 2797LMT.
Although this is a "car GPS", I intended on using it on my motorcycle in a similar fashion as explained here:

Had an Invalid Battery error on my 855 this morning. Had to remove/reinstall the battery to clear it. Unit seemed to be working okay even with the error message. Battery on the way out?

Hello,

I use POI Loader to install my Custom POIs on a Garmin 2455. I get the message that they have been installed, but when I check in Categories under Custom POIs it says "No matches found".

I am using a fault free CVS file and a micro SD card.

What is the problem?

Grateful for any help!

I just got a 2797 and set another city as a location using the SET LOCATION button but now I can't seem to set a different location.

I was using the new Base Camp and found the user interface difficult, but persistence has it's own rewards as this product has some very neat features for creating a Route and finding relevant POI's once you find out how to use the goodies. However, after a few tries, my Base Camp is now telling me that my .Net is corrupted and must be re-installed.

I want to add some sound files to my POIs (red light and speed camera files) to my Garmin Nuvi 765. I have had problems with this before and was wondering if I need to use mp3 files or wav files. Thanks for your help.

On my 2557, for work I often use my Trip Planner App to Save a route with via points that will take me to the destination of a customer taking certain preferred roads that may differ from the shortest or fastest. The problem is on a return trip, I haven't found a way to Reverse that course without creating a brand new Trip/route.

just doing so research for a new GPS for my father and I'm just wondering which line is top of the line? the Nuvi Prestige line or Nuvi Advanced Line?

TIA.

Never had this happen before. POI Loader always worked A1. But today when I am trying to install the RLC POI on the 855 I get an error message "There was an unexpected error during the transfer of the custom POI file".

Then when I check the POI folder on the GPS the file name is there but ZERO Kb, nothing,nada.

should I get any screen protector for my new Garmin Nuvi 3590lmt? if yes, which one?

WebUpdater reports an update for my nuvi 3597:

Bought a Garmin Streetpilot 2720 to use on my motorcycle. Came with City Navigator North America NT v8 loaded and included original setup disk with Unit Serial Number, Registration Code and Unlock Code.

Today, I tried to open Garmin Express to update it but to my surprise it does not open any more on my Windows 7 laptop with the message "Garmin Express can not open because your internet connection is being blocked". I even disabled Norton firewall but no luck. ANyone else having any issues?

We have had some discussion recently on how smartphones use A-GPS to start navigating while waiting for a more accurate GPS signal from satellites. While most automobile navigators aren't connected to the cellular networks some are. Specifically, the Garmin nuvi 1690 and 1695 come to mind.

I am switching from S&T to Base Camp. When using S&T, I downloaded a .stt POI megafile and installed it.
I would like to do the same for Base Camp, but I can’t find the megafile in .CSV format. Any suggestions. Keep in mind that I am a newbie at this.
Thanks

Check out the change log, especially the second last entry:

•Improve Sync function for 910XT, 610 and 310XT devices
•Garmin Express will automatically detect golf devices when they are connected
•Fix an issue where the download status does not display the speed in KBs
•Fix an issue where Express would not correctly set up WIFI network on a FR620

I purchase a Europe map but cannot download as I have NO space on my new Australian device - can I clear space? If so How?
