More tales of strange routings
My wife & I took an overnight trip to Flagstaff to visit old friends.
On the trip home to Tucson I napped while she drove. I inserted two points to the active routing, one on Loop 101 and the second on Loop 202 to insure that the unit routed us around downtown Phoenix. I made sure these points were well beyond the interchanges between the roads we were to use. to get us on to I-10.

2014.20 uploaded on servers
I do not by any means wish to start a 20 page long thread about when the 2014.20 maps will be released, but for everyone's information, they have officially been posted on Garmin's servers as of 5 days ago. As we've seen in the past, this could mean that the maps will become available to us within 2 to 7 weeks. They are released when they are released.

Nuvi 660 - Deleted the gmapprom.img file and now cant see device
Hi, I deleted the gmapprom.img file from my garm nuvi 660 to make more space for an update but now it wont go beyond loading maps. If not powered it dies right after loading maps comes on. If powered it keeps hanging in there at Loading maps. I had copied the files from the nuvi when it was still recognized as a drive on my mac.

Can added POIs be put into regular POI instead of "Custom POIs"
Is there any way to have added POIs searchable under the regular POI selection from the first screen, rather than having to go thru the menus and going into "Custom POIs" ??
I'd like to get rid of the distinction between the default POIs that come with the Garmin Nuvi50LM and those that I've added.
Thanks!

Pop up ads on Google Navigation
I was using Google Navigation on my Android phone on Saturday, and stopped at a stoplight with a Home Depot on the corner. After a few seconds, a full-screen Home Depot ad popped up on the screen. And it did not automatically clear itself after the light turned green and I started moving again. I have never seen a popup ad before while using Google Navigation.

Kenwood DNX570HD with Garmin Maps POI's
Hi, Hope this helps someone else. To update the Customer POI's on the headunit I had to use a USB drive and not the SD card. The SD card would think I was putting a MAP in and then turn off my Current Map. Using the USB drive was effortless - Create POI with the Garmin POI software. Turn on radio and wait for GPS to boot up - Put usb drive in and accept when the on screen question was shown.

Garmin Smartphone Link... Traffic incidents issues in Toronto area?
I am experiencing Traffic incidents issues on Smartphone Connect in Toronto area. When I check Traffic App on Nuvi 3597, the map shows traffic. When I tap on the left top corner and select Incidents, it shows one or two incidents only. One on DVP and the other some times in Niagara Falls..
Due to this I don't get traffic warning on my route.

Does Garmin ever update their pre-loaded POI's?
Does Garmin ever update their pre-loaded POI's?
Is the POI's updated whenever you download the latest software/map updates or are just stuck with the factory setting pre-loaded POI's forever?

BaseCamp Trip Planner
I was playing around with BaseCamp trying my best to get use to using it and it continues to be a very slow work in progress. Okay I have a trip that I have made for a number of years to Florida so I decided to use that for a start. Okay it comes up with a route that I have taken and is the fastest time.

Is Webupdater done?
So I hadn't updated my 3490LMT in months. In fact I was still at F/W v.7.50 and I had left the maps at 2012.40 since there were complaints at the time of losing some LA info on the next map update. Anyway, I'm going on vaco this week and thought it would be nice to update to the latest mapset and F/W but when I did, I was forced into installing Garmin Communicator and Garmin Express.
Dezel 760 - showing POI symbols
I recently purchased the Dezel 760 for my Tractor. Currently, it shows all the stock icons or what Im assuming are POIs. Because I deliver to many of the same locations ie. HD, Lowes, etc., I wanted to have those icons display as the stock icons do. When I look up a store it only displays a green icon w/ a heart. How do I create new icons to go w/ my POI information.
