Newbie with a Nuvi 760
So I thought I'd followed the directions here on downloading POI's (saved them to a folder on my hard drive, connected my gps, uploaded manually, etc. etc.). Anyway, I get the "Congratulations, you've downloaded ... POI", but when I check my favorites a couple of them have coordinates instead of the address and then I see alot of them that say "SPEED LIMIT _X MPH _x."

Good News for Toronto area people who have MSN Direct
I have read it on other forum that traffic alerts on MSN Direct start working in GTA as of December 6, 2008.
I have TMC FM receiver and service is crap in Toronto area. Very few times I get traffic flow info on 401. It is avaialble only on weekdays where as MSN Direct is 24/7. I will definitely buy MSN Direct receiver. Has anyone tried MSN Direct in last few days in GTA?

Does anyone know if a new Zumo is coming or a nuvi will replace it?
After seeing a nuvi 550 that is roughly feature equivalent to a Zumo 450, is Garmin replacing m/c units with nuvi units?

Map loading problem with nuvi 350
The map shows highways ONLY.
When I try to look up the map information, the "map info" button under "settings > map" is grayed out.
In a mass-storage mode, I see the map file, along with unlock code, all intact. It just isn't reading the map.

connection issues (usb cable)
So I found a usb cable that goes to a MP3 player that also fits my 255w. However, when I plug it in to my computer it constantly switches between storage and charge mode. For some reason it won't stay connected as a storage device long enough for me to upload poi's or other data. Should I just buy a new usb cable? I know they're really cheap.

MSN Subscriptions - Anyone get a multi unit discount?
I have just bought three 780s for the our three cars. Looking at the MSN Direct pages, I don't see any discount options, so I thought I would ask if anyone managed to get a discount?

Display of poi's on garmin etrex
Hello everybody,
I have a question for users of Garmin handheld's (etrex Legend Hcx). Can you selectively display poi's (meaning display a certain poi database) or is it an all or nothing situation?

Transferring POI from One Unit to another !
I have bought another Nuvi350 for my wife and want to put POIs on that new one. Since I have misplaced the .csv file somewhere, I will have to transfer it from old one. Can someone please tell me how to do that.
Thank you.

Magenta line
As I was driving home tonight I notice the magenta line that marks your route was missing. If I zoomed in and out I would see it momentarily but it wouldn't stay on the screen. I was traveling a route that I made with Mapsource. Got home and had a idea the difference was I was traveling a route that I created. So picked a spot on the map and said “Go” to it.

Keywords for POI
Can someone tell me where I can find out what the keywords for custom POI are and the correct use for them?
"GATSO," "mobile", "SPECS", "safety", "redlight", "speed", or "camera" and I think there are more.

A couple of Nuvi 265T questions
After using a Street Pilot C330 for a couple of years (and being very happy with it) I decided to upgrade to something with a few more features. Went with the Nuvi 265T. I love it but am hoping some of you who have more experience with the nuvi can answer a couple of questions.

Traffic Indications on Map
I have a Nuvi750 running V4.2 and 4.5 for the GMT20.
I just got the FM Traffic activated the other day on my trip to Louisville. The only time I saw any traffic indications were when I use MENU >> TOOLS >> TRAFFIC... I see the indicators for accidents on that GREY TRAFFIC MAP and not on the main map used for routes and just driving.

GPX file download & POI loader
Just want to share some interesting things I encountered:
I can't download GPX files while browsing POI Factory with IE beta 8. But Google chrome works.
Then, the POIs must be saved in for example C:\POIs for POI loader to load them correctly without error. If I save the POIs in a folder created on the "desktop", POI won't load it.
Anyone had the same experience or knows why?
