Thanks!

GPS recommendations

Good day all,

I own a Garmin Nuvi 255W and am satisfied with it but the 255W is limited in that routes may not be downloaded to the 255W from the Garmin MapSource software. One must select way points as "via points" to create a route of sorts.

MSN Direct

I have been thinking about getting a receiver and subscribing to MSN direct. However the receiver is expensive and I don't know how much I will use it. Does anyone have experience.

Vehicle icons

For some unknown reason, I decided to "tweak" one of Garmin's icons. I downloaded it from the garage and then tried to open it in a graphic program. I thought I owned every Macintosh graphic utility and program known to man, but this icon is tough. I tried Photoshop, Aperture, Graphic Converter and a bunch more including Canon and Sony Camera programs, but no luck.

MapQuest Route

I just plotted a route in mapquest and it gives me the option to send it to my GPS. Will this feature work with my Nuvi 350? If so, will the route show up in my favorites? Will all my other custom POI's work with this route?

Nuvi 760 - Best Software

This is my first Nuvi, actually for my wife, that I will be using on a regular basis. It arrived today with software 2.3 and 2008 maps.

I would like to have the map scale on the screen and have good routing. It seems that I got an "old" unit, but that may not be bad - but it looks like to register I have to upgrade the software.

Anyone tried sending a MapQuest route to their nuvi yet?

In general, it seems to work real well.

However, I created a route, and made use of the avoid button, to make MapQuest alter the route shown on the map, to avoid turning at an intersection, in favor of one a little further down the road.

MapQuest made the adjustment just the way I wanted, so I saved it, and then used the Send button to send it to my 765T.

Garmin c330 with traffic service

Will my Garmin c330 work with any traffic update services?

GarminError.xml file. What is it ?

Hi,

Does anyone know what is this file GarminError.xml or it's purpose? It is located on my Nuvi 200w in the \debug\ folder.

Could this meant there is something wrong with my GPS or is this normal for the GPS to generate this error file ?

The below is the content of the file GarminError.xml. this website removed the xml tags, here is the values within those tags

Thanks

Garmin C530 System Log

While on vacation Thanksgiving week, my Garmin C530 somehow jumped into a system log mode. The display showed several rows of text and numbers. I should have written down an example of the text but I didn't. In any case a series of BACKs eventually returned me to the map display.

Nuvi 200w

Hi all. First post in this forum. I own a nuvi 205w, and I just purchased a Nuvi 200W for $119 (black friday) as a gift for my father. To my surprise, it has the newer looking interface, and 2GB of memory, just like my 205w. I ran Garmin's webupdater and installed software ver. 4.60, just like my 205W. My friends 200w only has 1Gb of memory and can only run software ver 4.0.

Color codes on roads on the map?

this may be a real noob question, but can someone tell me the color coding on the maps?

I am not talking about the magenta...I know that is my route if I am navigating in that mode.

and I am not talking about the red and yellow coding while in traffic map mode...I understand that refers to the severity of the traffic on particular roads.

Not so "Honey" a Moon in Vegas!

I "commute" between Tempe, AZ and Las Vegas and was in Vegas again for Thanksgiving week. I have noticed in my travels over the past three months, the POI file for Las Vegas Casinos is giving me wrong information.

Adding POI databases to the "Garmin Extras" Menu, NOT "Custom POIs"

Does anyone know how to create additional databases at the Garmin Extras level on a Garmin 770 rather than Garming Extras->Custom POIs? It must be some flag or something in the GPI file that tells it whether or not it should be a top level list or inside Custom POIs, but at least GPSBabel had no such options for me while creating my GPIs.

csv newbie help

I am having trouble loading csv files using 'garmin poi loader.

I can load them directly to my 255w, however when I try to load them to a SD card I get an error message from poi loader saying it can not find any files.

Is it possible to load POI's from a csv file to a SD card using poi loader?

Thanks

Nuvi 255W

205W new to us on Black Friday - Impressions

My wife's been asking for a GPS for over a year now, so I/we decided this would be the year to get her one.

Her little sister (traveling sales rep) was given a 205W by her boss on a weekend we helped her move, so I got to play with it first. I was so impressed with the basic little unit that I decided it was the minimum we would need... I like the widescreen.

Outdated POIs - how old is old?

I bought my nuvi650 last XMas (2007) and was a little disappointed to learn there were 3+ year old POIs in my brand new toy that had not been in business in over 3 years. At the time I figured it must need an update. I quickly learned that in December 2007 there were no updates available for the n650.
