How do you setup a route?

I want to go to several destinations, one right after the first stop, and so on. Is this a "route"?

I would like to try to program my GPS to allow such a trip. Where do I look for instructions?

Thanks.

Is their away to have the POI loader work more efficiantly?

Have a garmin 265t when using the POI loader the program freezes up and don't upload a thing sometimes I have to clear my POI extras and reload them one by one for the program to work properly is their any advice

Calibrating the Nuvi 760 Touch Screen

I've tried this procedure, out of the user's manual, and can't seem to get it to work for me. Has anybody else tried this?

"Calibrating the Screen

Radio towers and tourguide proximity alert.

If I set my proximity alert as a tour guide (to get a radial proximity) to the max distance. Will I continuously get an alert as long as I am within the set proximity for that POI or will it just alert me just once?

prox alerts

how do you set the proximity alert on street pilot c5xx series? alerts are loaded and proximity alert box is checked in the setup

MSN Direct and Traffic Alerts

Can you have both MSN Direct and Traffic Alerts at the same time? I understand that both recievers come on charging cable and you could use one at a time. I will appreicate your feedback.

POI INSTALL GARMIN 680

I recently purchased a Garmin Nuvi 680. What happens if I install poi from this site that are already included with the 680? Also is there a program that will allow you to look at the included poi's?

Thanks

Adding POI's to an SD card

I have been fighting with this for a while. When I use the POI loader on my 750, how do I tell the loader to load the files on the J drive (sd card in the 750) instead of it automatically loading them into the unit itself? There are no prompts that come up. The only option I have is where are the POI's are coming from.

mp3 does not play

Using the Nuvi660
I have tried every combination to get the Nuvi to show a speed alert & play an MP3 at the same time.

The mp3 downloaded from Gary Hayman’s site –(excellent) – works in iTunes fine.

The files in the Garmin/POIcollection folder are:

Schools_Speed_55.bmp
Schools_Speed_55.csv
Schools_Speed_55.mp3

Used PoiLoader to transfer the files to the Nuvi.

SD card in C330

What information am I able to transfer to an SD card in the C330? I have heard that this is very limited and not worthwhile.

Just got a Nuvi 880 POI Question

I uploaded the Pass_Port_America.V.csv using the POI loader and it didn't add the addresses or phone numbers. Why?

Can't save POI as a favorite

Tonight I was beginning to prepare for a trip next week to Nashville. I just purchased tickets for the Grand Ole Opry and wanted to see how best to get there. I was there once before but stayed at the hotel which provided transportation.

Street Pilot 7500 works with 8GB SDHC card

I thought I would let everyone know my Street Pilot 7500 is using a Sandisk Ultra II SDHC 8GB card. I use is to hold my books-on-mp3 and music, and everything works well with the built in media player.

How do I know the 750 is actually accessing the SD card?

I orginally loaded all my POI's directly in the Nuvi 750. I just got a SD card and loaded them on the card.

Nuvi660 Questions

Hello....I am a newbie to GPS.

I own a NUVI660 and have two questions:

1. In "Extras" under CustomPOIs I want to remove all of the POI's I have loaded? How do I do that please?

Trick or Walkaround for Recalculating

I have a nuvi 750 using mapquest to plan routes. Using UNFlag to take out all the via points. Got tired of hearing all the announcements. When you stray from the route it recalculates a new route. I then have to reload my route and start again. Does anyone know of a better way.

Is this device and software capable of using POI files?

I have followed instructions but to no avail. I would sincerely appreciate a step-by-step list of instructions if POIs apply to this software (City Navigator North America NT 2009) and device. Thank you.

.WAV Conversion

Can someone explain how to convert .mp3 files to .wav? I understand this is what I need for a Nuvi 200.
