Should I Do It?

grin Should I go ahead an buy a new Garmin 885T? Any advice out there? Thanks

No POI icons/menus for my 255w-should there be??

Hi, I have just bought an American nuvi 255w on ebay, ( I live in Australia but am going on a roadtrip 19 oct from Las vegas to Denver, so I need the US maps) but when I go to POI, there is NO info there or icons or anything except the icon for "spell name".

moving custom poi's to the favorites list

here is what im trying to do on a 885t. i have searched and cant find the answer, maybe someone has done this and can help me.

i have a catagory under custom poi's called " hobby lobby " and it lists all the hobby lobbys in the usa.

downloading favorites

i looked everywhere, including here. is there a way to import the data from my garmin 855, and get my favorites? i think it would be easier to edit them in the computer. but more so i'd like to make the garmin into a geocache device since it can grab satellites much faster than my pda. thanks

Friction Mount Compatibility

I just ordered a Nuvi 255W to replace my Streetpilot c330. I've already got a friction mount for the Streepilot. Will it work with the Nuvi, or do I need to buy a new friction mount?

TourGuides

I have a Nuvi 350 and wanted to know if there is any limit to the number of tourguides that I can create. I currently have one for NcDonalds but am interested in creating others.

"Tour Guide" implentation and Nuvi 660

I read the thread about "Cracker Barrel and Tour Guide"
here with Great interest....
Just exactly what I would want to do with that paticular POI!!

My searching for instructions have netted me some good information, but I still have questions.....

First.... Which Garmin's support "Tour Guide" Features?
Obviously I'm concerned about the Nuvi 660....

Loading custom icons

New to the site, hi all.

I was able to load up some custom POI's and I found the instructions for loading custom sounds. Not sure if I did it right yet though.

But i was wondering if loading custom icons works the same way?

I have the nuvi 255W

Thanks.

Possible new feature for Nuvi 7x0 after upgrade to 4.90

I may be incorrect on this, but I think for the first time, the "altitude" setting of the map detail is now shown on the main screen when the map is displayed. I know I never noticed it before the recent upgrade. This certainly makes it much quicker to return to a desired level of detail.

Favorites: what folder

I want to back up my Garmin. Its obvious where the POI's I loaded are stored but I cant figure out where the Favorites folder is.

Rino 520Hcx/530Hcx firmware version 2.90 released

http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3599

This version supposedly adds support for downloadable content. I haven't seen any such content for the Rino (beyond maps), but I did update my unit yesterday. So far no problems.

Location of Wal-Mart wrong.

The Wal-Mart in Pontotoc, MS Store #164 has not been located where it is shown on my Garmin in 3 years. They built a new supercenter and shut down the old one some 3 years ago and it's not even close to where the old one was. How can I change this on my Garmin Nuvi 660?
