Sensor Triggers Red Light When Speeding

This isn't a camera per se, but Philadelphia is using sensors to trigger a red light when cars are exceeding the speed limit. Now if we can just get a sensor to trigger a green light when moving at a constant (safe) speed...

Which Models

I just got off the phone with Garmin and their tech support is a joke. I was trying to find out which model series or even a list of individual models Gives you the name of the street or road that you are approaching when you aren't navigating. I told him my older Street Pilots did it and the next GPS I buy I would like to have that feature back.

Garmin 3597 Interface Mode ???

I'm sure this has been asked millions of times but I'm new to POI-Factory and GPS units. I apologize.

When I connected the USB cable to my brand new 3597 I did see:

you will probably see, as I can with mine, a graphic of a GPS connected by cable to a PC

But now the unit either starts up with a black screen ot the main menu (Where to? View Map).

Nuvi 50 & topo maps

I copied the Garmin topo files from the computer to an 8gig micro SD in the Nuvi. Any idea how to access and use those topo files for my offroading?

TIA,

Jim

Download Custom POI Files From GPS

Is there any way to download my custom POIs from my nuvi 855? Turns out that I can't find my original files. (Stored them on an external drive that won't work!)

If I could find the files on the gps, then I could probably find a convertor from gpi to gpx and use EPE

BMP Help Please (POI Loader for Mac)

Hello, I am trying to upload a few POI's with their BMP icons. I have dome this before and have had no trouble however, for some reason, the .bmp files are not uploading.

I am using POI Loader 2.2.2 for Mac. I have a Garmin nuvi 3590LM.

I made sure the POI file and the icon were name exactly the same. Both downloaded from POI Factory. Example: mobil.bmp and mobil.csv

Extra_POI_Editor update by TurboCCC

After 2 years I think, here's an update to Extra_POI_Editor (EPE).

Changes from v5.32 to beta v5.35
•Fixed the Geocoding and Batch Geocoding functions
•Reduced the maximum POI loaded in EPE to 500,000 instead of 1,000,000.
•Fixed a runtime error when hitting the Grab button before the map is drawn in the POI Edit window.

Nuvi 2460 Start Up Tip requested

Hi Guys,

I love my Nuvi 2460 but!!!

I like to have my ecoRoute HD on to show me the fuel consumption on every trip.

This means every time I start a new journey I have to agree to Garmin's terms then go through 2 (or is it 3) menus, to get my fuel consumption on display.

Is there any way I can set it to come on automatically.

I would love to hear if it can be done.

Regards,
