Garmin talk

When I download POI to a microSD card for my Garmin, I get the following error message for some files.
“There is a data format error on line (the numbers vary) of file (file location). The data in the file will be written, but no more data can be read from this file.”

Does anyone know how to transfer my Favorites from my 765T to my new 2360LMT???

I read somewhere that copying the current.gpx file might do it, but I tried that and it didn't work.

Any suggestions?

I may be attending the Minneapolis Auto Show soon. Does anybody happen to know if Garmin has their products on display at these type of events?

New user here...
POI files download to the 1450 but the information is not displayed. Under the 1450 POI icon there are no new icons. I must have done something wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks, Ed

In the past I'd get the standard "lost satellite reception" and my GPS would show my location as being just inside the entrance to the tunnel until I regained satellite reception after leaving the tunnel. QMT specifically.

I updated my maps to 2012.4. I think there was a software update at the same time.

Stay with v14.0.1

I saw in this post ...

My Garmin is having issues. It will turn off, re-boot or go into computer mode with the car charger pluged into it. Sometimes it will do it continually and other times it will work normally.
Does anyone know if it's a bad cord or if the unit is going bad.
It's working right when plugged into the computer with the USB cable.

Changes made from version 7.50 to 7.60:

Added support for a second map on an SD card.
Improved route calculation logic.
Fixed an error that sometimes caused water map features to not appear on the turn list.
Fixed an error that caused the device to find no results when the user changed state or province during address searches (2010 maps only).

Okay, so I'm new here. I have downloaded a few POI files for my nuvi 205w and installed them without much hassle. I ask about SOX because I am unsure if I need to know about it and if I do need to know about it, then what exactly do I need to know. Sorry if this is found in a faq or something. I did look for it, but had no luck finding the info. Point it out to me if it is there please.

Car, stuck on LIRR tracks, catches fire in today's Newsday. See http://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/car-stuck-on-lirr-...

"At 11:45 p.m., a woman turned her car onto the tracks, later telling police that she was following the audio instructions of her GPS device, Nassau County police said."

The audio on my nuvi suddenly stopped working. Any suggestions as to why this has occurred, and how to fix it? Not having the audio warnings is starting to drive me nuts.

I tried to do a reset (i.e. push the reset button), but that didn't help. Additionally, I noticed that the audio DOES work if I set my nuvi to transmit audio to my vehicle's FM radio.

I've been trying to submit a map error on the Garmin site this afternoon and I keep getting the ...

Sorry! So many people want to “Give a Garmin” this holiday season that our site is “recalculating.” Please try again soon! Complete with the wrapped gifts and all.

Im new to all of this... Garmin and Windows 7 trying to download the POI Loader from Garmin site. it says its downloaded but when I try to run it I get a unsupported OS error??? Can anyone please help me with this and make it idiot proof??? Thanks so Much in advance.

I've asked before, not sure if nobody knows, but where does my 2350LMT get its info for red light and speed cams? It seems to be more accurate than poi factory, yet how is that possible since the gps is over a year old?

I found this on their website, it's $8.49 to get their file that's supposedly updated "daily."

Is there a way to create Nuvi 350 Rest Area POI alerts to trigger only for a Rest Area that is along your route in the direction of travel on a divided highway? I don't want an alert for the Rest Area on the other side of a divided highway (i.e., an interstate highway with both a North and South Rest area).

I have a really weird problem with my 560LMT, not directly related to POI's, please bear with me. I'm really frustrated.

One particular route that I built, used, and discarded months ago, keeps coming back! I've deleted it multiple times, even done a complete reset, and it just keeps coming back.

It isn't in BaseCamp -- which I don't really like anyway.

Had them working together fine then Basecamp said it was having trouble communicating with the 3790 . Junked the Pref file, downloaded a fresh copy of Basecamp and problem stays Restarted computer and no help. Using a MacBook. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello. Which JCV file do I need to download? I have nuvi 40, which does junction view as a split screen. Thanks

I recently added a sdhc 4G (format FAT 32) to my nuvi 260W. Initially the drive appeared on my Macbook Pro as "no name." What should I do to configure it for use the next time I download maps? Then, how do I do it?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

No mention made of added support for a secondary mapset on the SD Card as was reported with the previous (pulled) v5.20. Maybe they forgot. I'm staying away since v4.90 works fine for me.
