Looking to load up some POI's for Ireland but I don't see many here, I think there are only 4 here at POI Factory, Irish post offices, skydiving drop zones, Thai churches and Thai restaurants. Neither broad, nor deep.

I also don't see any website comparable to POI-Factory for the Irish or euro market.

Have I missed something, or does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Even though it's discontinued it still a good price.

I know MapSource can do it, but it is not free. You have to buy a map to use MapSource. I am changing to a new GPS unit, is there quick and easy way to transfer all my favorites to the new unit?

Hello helpful people!!

Just before we went on holiday to France this summer (we are in the UK) I enabled traffic reception for France and updated the map. Since then when you tell it to do a route in the UK c550 either hangs when it gets to 100% on route calculation or turns its self off. However it worked without problem when we were in France.

I have had my nuvi 1450 about 5 months now. Recently it has started to break sentences. If I get a voice alert and an instruction at the same time, it will give the instruction priority and break the alert. That is the way it should be, so that is not what I'm talking about.

I have 2 different nuvi units and the 1st time I updated the maps using lifetime maps, It downloaded the maps twice once for each unit.
My question is... does it have to do it that way or can I just download it once and install it on both units?

Can I put 2 or more maps on 1 sd card ?
Thx in advance.
Have a good one.

Yes another year of (Should I Buy)

Just updated maps to 2011.30 now unit shuts down after 5 or 10 seconds. Did a hard reset but same problem. Anyone have any idea's?

The GET TURN-BY-TURN DIRECTIONS section of the description of the Nuvi 1450 contains this sentence:

"With the 1450's enhanced user interface, you can slide your finger to conveniently scroll between screens."

Anyone know what this means? The owner's manual, of course, doesn't mention it.

Just installed the November 10 speed camera POI file and noticed there were no speed cameras in Illinois. Am I missing something. As corrupt as this state is I know they did not remove them!

Hello all. This is my first post and am lost on this item. Most of the time I use my 2820 on my motorcycle. My problem is I have loaded Honda Dealer locations in my 2820 and there is an icon at each location. I have also loaded all of the DQ locations but there is no icon on the screen at the location.

What do I need to do to make an icon show up at the DQ locations.?

Thanks for the help.

I understand that there's an extensive list of old railroads that are still operated for tourists around the US.

Anyone hear of such a list?

Thanks
Fred

I use a Mac, I'm not use to these Windows naming strategies. I know I have the new map on my 660 but there appears to be a 2009 map for a few states that has been on there forever. I don't want to delete the wrong thing but I'd like to get rid of the 2009 map 'cause I keep getting notices that it needs updating plus it takes up room. What name would it be under.

Hey there gps friends can someone tell me if all these poi's work on the new Garmins like the Nuvi 1450LMT yall have a great weekend Thanks!

Garmin HQ's local paper did an article on the real Australian Karen:
http://www.kansascity.com/2010/11/12/2427262/putting-a-face-...

And, she has a website:
http://www.thegpsgirl.com

Would you believe she's doing a CONCERT? I can hear it now - "Turn right here" Applause, screams, groupies. "Arriving at your destination" as an encore.

Actually, she's interesting.

I have updated to latest map update.Now i have a terrible lag.I did a hard reset that did not help.Can i go back to last map?Any other ideas?

Does anyone own a 1390T, and if so, what is your opinion of it? A family member is strongly considering the 1390LMT (same unit but with lifetime map updates). The unit seems to get good reviews but some say the audio is not that loud. I remember reading the same thing about my 265WT but mine is plenty loud! Sometimes too loud. The other cons I've read about in reviews do not concern me.

I just discovered something that probably explains why sometimes my 855 can set unused for four or five days and the battery will be down a couple of bars, the next time it might set for two days and the battery is stone dead.
