Nooby to POI, Nuvi 760
So I downloaded the Burger King POI to get started as my first custom POI. I see the file on my 760 when connected to PC. I also can pick a BK from the list at: extras> custom POI menu and it will take me to the BK. I thought that after loading a POI like the Burger King one, I would see some sort of marker at the site of every BK I drove by.

Problems with 2730
Been having a few issues lately.
First is when I go into USB mode, I get a message that there might be a problem with my files on the device or disc. I get an option to scan and fix or do nothing. I have usually clicked on do nothing as I have not had any problems before. Question is would I have any problems doing a scan and fix?

How do I chage alert sounds?
How do I change the alert sounds of POI's. I've read "Hornbyp's guide to setting alerts with POI Loader" but it is still confusing to me.

Garmin Nuvi 350 Satellite trouble
Hi,
I recently got a Garmin Nuvi 350 and the first time I used it, it worked perfectly. But after I updated the maps to the 2009 version, I lose satellite signal a lot. Can someone tell me how I can fix that?

USB Device Not Recognized
Hi - I went to upgrade my Father-In-Law's Garmin StreetPilot 2820 this past weekend with the CD I bought from Best Buy but XP doesn't seem to recognize the device. Has anyone else seen such a problem before?

How to use custom POI's
Please excuse a beginner's question. I have a nuvi 350 and have loaded the NPR tower, Rest Areas, and KFC onto my device.
Rest Areas has proximity alerts and I do not think the other 2 do.
While driving what do I need to do to have the contents appear on my route map? Is it "automatic"? or do I need to "invoke" them in some way.
With appreciation
John

Has anyone had a problem with their GTM 20, (or any other car charger for that matter) where it apparently applies too much power?

Which Nuvi?
My apologies if this has already been discussed but I need some help.
I have a Nuvi 260w and have found that I'd like to have a couple of features that I didn't think I'd use originally.
I want a unit that has bluetooth, speaks street names and maybe the traffic feature. I am looking at the 265WT and the 760. Any suggestions on either of them?

City Navigator 2009 Map Update on C340
I just loaded the Garmin City Navigator NT 2009 Map update on my Garmin C340. As memory on the set was low, the map update is probably loaded on the SD card.
Now when I start typing an address, the next screen shows two rows:
- 2008 NT All
- Ontario, Newfoundland
I have to select one of them to go to next step.
I am just wondering

GXM30 subscriptions
Purchased a GXM30 to use with my 7200. I use the unit mainly when towing a large 5th wheel toyhauler. I had a couple of questions regarding service.
1. Am I better off with the Garmin or Navigon Lifetime traffic service
2. How much is the weather service?
3. What is the best way to subscribe to get traffic and weather?
Thanks

Deleting Voices
There are a lot of voices on my 750 in different languages which I will never use. I am wondering if anyone has tried to delete them and if that has caused any problems. Seems like a lot of space taken up for nothing.
Will they be loaded back on every time I do a web update?
