Garmin talk

Can I enter a waypoint on my Garmin C330? I need to enter the entrance gate to my deer lease. I almost didn't find it at 4:00 a.m. last Saturday!

I am thinking of buying Nuvi 765T in the near future. It comes with free Realtime Traffic alerts and optional MSN Direct. Which I think is that I have to buy subscription from MSN Direct.

Do I really need both or Traffic alerts are good enough. Though MSN has extra bells and whistles.
I will appreciate your advice.

PS: I live in Greater Toronto area in Canada.

poi's in nuvi 760 are at least 4 years old with 2009 map update installed..

I have tried installing POI and bitmap files to my Nuvi 265t following the instructions found at http://www.poi-factory.com/node/4359 as well as other directions. I'm still not able to see the POIs on my unit. I've tried using the POI Loader to completely remove the files and reloading several times with no success. Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

would like to start a thread for people who have the 7x5t series of garmins to talk about the likes/ dislikes, tips

I went away last week and used my 660, it gave me directions with know problem, I then went today to the same place and i got different directions. Both times I started the 660 from the same place. Is this normal ?

I have a nuvi 650, I was never able to download POI or red lightalert/camera alert.Is it possible to download without subscription.I'm not very good in computers, so please ,can somebody give me step by step instructions?

I have a garmin nuvi 650, and would like to contribute to the open street maps project. www.openstreetmap.org . My question is this: Has anyone sent track points to the project? And how do I set my 650 to collect track points?
Thanks,

Hello,guys
Wanted to find this Wal-Mart Super Center,and when I entered the street,it only comes up with 1 suggestion,and that is just,George.
The street I need is George Clauss Blvd.
How do I find what I need.
You try it,I let me know if you come up with it.
Here's the info:

Wal-Mart Supercenter Store #1875
407 George Clauss Blvd
Severn, MD 21144
(410) 582-9990

Several POI files that I am interested in have the coordinates entered unsorted by value. Does anyone know how to sort .the entries in the file by the longitude value while retaining all the original values in the file. I would like to edit our those areas of the country that I will not be using in my travels.

With appreciation,

John

I recently pull the trigger on a 260. I got it from Amazon through the free nuvi 200 promotion. Currently I have a C530 with many favorites based on business clients. I have checked the forum and didn’t see or missed if this has been asked before; is there a way to transfer my favorites directly from the 530 to 260 via my computer?

Does anyone know how to work the advanced video settings on the GVN 53? I need to shrink the screen so it all fits on my 2008 Toyota Prius display.

On Garmin 750 I have downloaded several POI's with ICONS and mp3 sounds. The Icons work but sounds (Alerts) do not play.

I still can not find new Garmin models except for one Nuvi 265TW but other models e.g 755, 765T and 775T etc. are not available in any store. Has anybody any luck finding them in Canadian stores?

If I change the vehicle type in either of my Garmins, the unit takes a different route. Why? What is the difference between Car, Truck, Delivery Van, etc.? The Manual doesn't say.

I've transferred a track from my nuvi750 to MapSource and now i would like to save it as a route that i could transfer to my wife's nuvi750 is this possible and if so how do i go about it.

Thanks

Ron

Now that the cold weather is here i was wondering if I left my Nuvi in the car overnight in below 32 degree temperatures could it damage the unit. I know it could kill the battery but could it damage the screen as well?

Everything went well with the 2009 map update, but I seem to have lost EVERY SINGLE point of interest!

Everything is gone...you type mcdonalds and nothing shows up!! How do I recover this ??? Thx

I loaded some speed camera alerts onto my Nuvi 350 and the speed cameras are approx 1 mile apart. I only get the first alert and the following alerts do not trigger after the first alert goes away.

Has anyone had this problem? What can be done to fix it?

Sorry if this has been discussed, but I couldn't find it in the forums anywhere. I was wondering if anybody had any problems with the Nuvi software version 5.00 update?

thanks
