Garmin talk

I am new to POI and downloaded several POI files for my Nuvi 350. I told my friend in Kerrville TX about POI and he had trouble downloading the files. Problem was at his end and turns out to be a mac computer set up and bad USB to Garmin cable. He is working on it, but I had the opportunity to show him the Walmart, Flying J, Campgrounds, Costco and Rest Area POI's.

When I ran Webupdater this morning, it applied an undate to 2.5.5. Not much on the change log (below) but I let it update anyway. Seemed to work OK after update.

Changes made from version 2.5.4 to 2.5.5:
◦Fixed issue with GTU10 compatibility.

nuvi 34xx (GCD File) software version 4.80
as of February 27, 2012

Changes made from version 3.60 to 4.40:

I have a Garmin Nuvi 50.

I have loaded POI databases such as the wifi one and the B of A one. When I drive around, it will show me the icon of those respective POI's as I loaded those as well.

Suppose I was somewhere unfamiliar and I wanted to locate the "closest" B of A branch or Wifi spot and wanted directions to that place. How would I accomplish that?

Can't update my maps on a C530. Keeps telling me here's not enough space. I'm trying just Canada and Boardering states. Any ideas?

Saw a good deal and thinking about getting a 2360LMT and see some reviews that talk about the traffic sponsored ads - they mention the ads pop up in the middle of the screen during navigation - is that the case?

I have a 765T now and I only see adds when I stop and they only appear in the upper portion of the screen. Did Garmin change the way the ads appear now?

Under Windows Vista, I could change a file from a .csv format to a .txt format merely by renaming the suffix. Piece o' cake.
I now have Windows 7 and to make the same change I have to open a DOS window and issue the following kind of command:

I would like to know if anyone in the group has a route to the Palomar Christian Conference Center (San Diego county, California). I have basic directions they have posted online, just checking to see if anyone has a route.

I'm looking for a 4-door C230 Vehicle graphic for my Garmin.

Are there any guides out there for creating this yourself? Otherwise, does anyone know where I could find that .srf file?

Thanks!

I am a new member who just downloaded Harley Dealers POI and wanted to take time to thank the member who put the time in to set this up. I do not know if you are allowed to use names but will watch posts to tell him later. RICH

I purchased an update for my 255W last May and was checking on my dashboard and it shows it will expire this May 1st.

Does this mean I could still download a copy of it and save it on my pc in case of something happening to my garmin?

Free of charge I hope.

Is there a way to run a route on the Nuvi 350 to see if POI alerts are working before getting on the road? I have loaded them before trips only to find out on the trip that they aren't working.

I know there is a simulate mode, but is a POI alert triggered just as it would be in the Navigate mode?

Has anyone tried custom POI on Uconnect 8.4N?

You must be a newegg.com insider subscriber to use the code. Code expires on 2/25.

I have a 560 Dezl and have loaded Poi,s many a time but this has me baffled. I go into the poi file and removed the previous.gpi folder leaving the NTTS file which is the truck info. Reload my new file and the old info is still there. Can't see any other .gpi files anywhere must be hidden anyone have suggestions?? Dennis

FYI

Several stores have the new Garmin 3590 LMT for purchase.

I deleted all Favorites from my my 2460 (Where To | Favorites | All Favorites | Delete) but when I look at it with Basecamp it shows two WPs remaning, one "regular" named WP and one named "001" where I saved a current location to use later. I've checked the GPS and can't fine either one. Where else are WPs saved in the GPS?

For anyone that is interested, Costco has the Garmin Nuvi 2350LMT on sale for $139.99. It has a 4.3" screen, lane assist, junction view and comes with Lifetime Maps & Traffic. Don't know if this is a good price or not. I found it in the Costco online-offers.

"And the WINNER IS?..."

According to the 2012 Consumer Reports Buying Guide...

In 24 models tested in the 4.3 inch GPS Navigators and with a overall score of 72, Ranked 9th, the Garmin Nuvi 2350LT/2350LMT was picked as it's CR BEST BUY!

I have a number of POI files stored on my computer that I have downloaded to my 3490LMT if I want to update only the Red Light & Speed Camera ones, must I download all of the others also?

Thanks.
