Garmin talk

i just received my free nuvi 200 and would like to know if my POI on my SD card which works with MP3 sound alerts will work on the Nuvi 200 which does not.
How can i make the sounds be active or do i have to convert to another sound format ?

Why is it the Garmin does have dead reckoning in the Nuvi line? There is a premium paid for this units and you would think it would be included. Or is it that most GPS units don't have this anymore? I think it would be a welcomed addition to any GPS. What do you think?

My NUVI 760, is dialing the wrong number that I have set to "Home" When I hit the Phone Icon on the main menu, then select Home, it dials my home number, with some extra digits on the end.

How do I reset that? I checked under Favorites, and Home, and tried that way, but the number there, is already correct.

Thanks for anyone who can help.

Hi,

I'm new to this and would appreciate your help. I've been able to download and install the POI's...and then tried to include the icons. I followed the instructions on the FAQ (http://www.poi-factory.com/node/4359) and I don't see the icons on the gps. I renamed them to exactly the same as the POI file. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

I have a nuvi 650.

I have a nuvi 350. this has happened to two 350s that I have owned.

When I assign a symbol icon to one of my favorites and save it, the icon is there. Sometime in the future, the icon will all of a sudden not be there anymore. I will then notice a tiny square dot in its place. This can happen within a minute from the save or later on.

Thanks to all for including phone #'s in poi files. they sure have helped me on several occasions,just wanted to say thanks, because I know that it includes extra work when you are creating your files.

I haven't been able to locate anything on this topic in these forums, but if I did miss a thread, I'd be grateful if someone could point me to it.

HI,

I'm a newbie to this...

I just added a few POI's to my Nuvi 650 and would like to know how to verify they are on there! Any suggestions?

The next four Nuvi units to be discontinued are;

750,760,770 and the 780.

No date as of yet, but I thought you all should know.

Has anyone noticed any misspellings of street names? I was approaching Warren Parkway in Frisco, TX southbound on the Dallas Parkway, and I noticed that my Nuvi had spelled Warren wrong. It was spelled Warnre.
Am I the only one to find spelling mistakes?

I am having trouble downloading Custom POI's to my new Garmin 2730. Using the Garmin POILoader software, it sends the data to the unit successfully, but when I go to Custom POI screen on the GPS all I see is a bar for DELETE ALL under the Manage my custom POIs screen. Does not list the POI's that I just downloaded.

I'm sure it is something simple for you guys.
I downloaded a few custom poi files. For example: Mcdonalds. I put it, the mp3 file and the bmp file all in the same dir.
Then used poi loader to send it to the nuvi 200. When I click one of the Mcdonalds and then click map, it still shows a dot. (when I zoom all the way in)

I have set up Google Maps to do the "send to" to my Garmin 770, however, many times I am missing the send to option and just get an e-mail option.

If I restart Google Maps it then works OK? Getting tired of restarting any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
Dan

I have a nuvi 750 ,and after loading custom pois for sonic drive-ins and McDonalds it does not show the ones in my town.I have a sonic within walking distance from my house. When I search for sonic and McDonalds the closet ones are 13 miles away. When I looked through the .csv file for sonic it shows the one in my town. Can anyone help me figure out what is going on?

Something strange has taken place with my Garmin Nuvi 360. I used to upload (via Garmin POI Loader) all my POIs and it would take about 7 - 8 mins, I suppose. When I upload/update now, with a smaller POI list, it's taking around 45 minutes. It's crazy. I have to get up and walk away and return later.

On my Nuvi 200, after pressing the "where to" button there is the "extras" button which only contains "Custom POI's" which I added from this site.

Are there any OTHER extras that might be put in here?

Maybe other maps will eventually be placed here if I upload them to the GPS?

I just received a notice that Costco has the Garmin 205W for $200, and includes a beanbag mount. I don't know if it also has the windshield mount. Online only!

Would make a great Christmas present.

I have a Nuvi 260W and when I search an address it always comes up with Washington. I am in Oregon and it would make it much faster to do the search if it would default to Oregon rather than having to change it every time.

Is there a way to correct this?

Map 2009 (preloaded with my Nuvi 750) does not included mn-312 (not so newly build state highway) ad now mn-312 is changed to mn-212. I have submitted an report on http://mapreporter.navteq.com site and hopefully it will be included with next map update.

On both my 350 and 750 when trying to find an address while typing in the city only one name comes up and it is not the one I want, For example, I want Turnersville but as soon as I type TU, Tuckerton pops up. Any way around this?

Thanks
