Garmin talk

Hey everybody,

this is my first post, so I hope it is in the right place and that somebody can help me.

I have Garmin mobile XT running on my Vodafone VDA GPS
(aka Toshiba Portege G710) and finally managed to
install the v5.00.20 update from Garmin.

However, since the update, the routing accross
international borders in different mapsets doesn't work

Hi!
I have a TomTom GO510 that I can no longer tolerate so, I just bought a Garmin Nuivi 760 for my truck and a 205W for my wife's car. Can anyone tell me the best site to load POI's and get the most information for my Garmin's?
Thanks,

any way to add it to my 60csx ??

Looking for a fly fishing shop list/poi file. Can any one help?

Thanks,
Guido

Whats up all. New to the forum and think this is pretty cool. Hope I can be a valued contributor. Wanted to get everyones feedback/opinions on the new Nuvi 765t. I wanted a pretty full featured Garmin for $500 or under. This was close to $500 ($525), so I bought it, but was curious what the overall opinion is.

It is totally amazing the things you can learn off this webb site . Little over 3 weeks ago I found this site out of 100's . Signed up and have learned from some of the best on how to take My Nuvi 760 to a whole different level. I am still learning but I now know how to add, create and modify the poi files to my needs and I not so great at the computor.

Sorry if this has already been addressed.

Is there any difference in system performance with poi's loaded on a SD card versus system memory?

I got this error message when trying to download POIs to c530 Street Pilot. I purchased a new SD 2 gig.... but this came up. "Not enough space on the disk" (I'll try to show the entire error message) It told me to send it to Garmin.... what does it mean? How can I download POIs? I'm a newbie...
Help!

I currently have a 2730 with the NavTraffic that I am happy with but considering buying a new unit and was curious as to what other Connecticut users are expericing with other traffic providers.

My mom does have an unit with MSN Direct and find the service useless as we are inbetween stong signal areas and always have to drive a bit before getting updated info.

Is there a way to tell which files have proximity alerts and need settings specified and those that do not such as NRP_Towers? Does express mode handle it? In reading descriptions of POI's I could not tell which was the case.

ALSO, how does one set alerts for "off road" POI's?

With appreciation

Garmin's website says neither the 200 nor the 255 support routes. However, this evening, when I selected new via points, the 255 kept the previous ones. I effectively created a route with multiple via points. The nüvi 200 only supported 1 via point at a time and replaced the previous one with the new one.

I have a StreetPilot 2730 with an external antenna for the XM Radio that plugs into the back. For the past few months, the unit has been displaying messages such as "XM Disconnected" or "Device Not Supported", even though the antenna is correctly plugged in. Whenever this happens, I usually have to unplug and replug the antenna, or turn the unit off and on in order to get the XM radio working.

I rented a GPS from Avis on a recent trip. It was a Garmin widescreen unit that is a customized model for Avis. I have to say I was not impressed with it. The screen was very slow to update and the directions it gave were not optimal (in the Boston area). My 260 seems much more zippier and the routes seem to be better (although I've not used it in the Boston area to be fair).

OK, anyone had a 770 for more than 5 minutes can answer some questions for me?
-Is there a setting that automatically updates the clock as you pass into different time-zones?
-Can the 770 display topography as with the <$200 Nuvi 205?
-How do you get POI's to display permanently on the map?

Nice unit but...

This is hopefully going to become available in the first part of 2009.

Below are links to some good videos of the new Garmin Nuviphone. If the navigation is as it appears here is like the current Nuvi line this would be very tempting. It also will mount in a cradle mount in the car the same as the current 700 and 800 series do.

Hey everyone, I had a friend make me an amazing custom widescreen splash screen for my nuvi, but when i set it through the garmin, it has a stupid black boarder, is there any possible way or program out there that can let me permanently set this to my garmin?

I am thinking about getting an FM traffic antenna for my Nuvi and was wondering if there is a particular antenna that works the best?

When driving in Bellevue, WA, I had two 7 MPH alerts go off but there was no school or speed restriction in the area. Why?

1. Along Bel-Red Rd. near NE 24th St.

2. Along 148th Ave NE between (I think) NE 8th St and Main St.

Hi there,

I have a Garmin Nuvi 255 and just loaded the POI file "Complete State Parks Combined List for the USA" CSV file from the POI Factory (Using POI Loader)onto my Garmin. In the Garmin the file ends up being located in my "Extras" file and is named "Custom POI". Is it possible to have the file called "State Parks" (which is what the CSV file is called) instead of "Custom POI" when using the Garmin?
