Garmin talk

i had about 100 POI's installed and they work fine. I recently divided them in folders for :fast food, restaurants, attractions.

I now notice it takes a long time, about 2 minutes, when i try to open the POI in my Garmin. Is this normal, or was it really faster when i had all my POI's together and not in the separate folders. Thank you in Advance

I just uploaded the camera files to my Garmin 660. Do I need to do anything to activate them or is it automatic. This is my first upload to my GPS. "NEW guy"

We'll be going on a two week photo safari in northern Arizona and southern Utah in the middle of January.

Some of the locations we want to photograph from are well off the paved roads. This shouldn't be a problem in our Jeep. I have set up a number of way points via Google Earth to get us to/from the locations we'll shoot from using my Nuvi 260.

Are the Multi-mode navigation receivers really usable in each mode? This sounds like something I can use. Are they worht it?

I'm not the sharpest tack so I need help deleting specific files from my 760. Thanks in advance.

I have nuvi 350 and like to use the simulation mode to check out a route and alerts before driving it. However, the "speed" is very slow. Does anyone know if you can control the speed of the vehicle in simulation mode?

I downloaded and converted the Oregon State Parks .csv file into a .gpx. However, I receive an error in Mapsource telling me that it is an invalid file type when I try and open it, though other converted .gpx files open just fine.

any ideas?

I just started working with .csv files with the State Parks file and converted it to .gpx with GPXtoPOI. I would like to change the symbol and category of all the 4000+ locations efficiently, one step would be best.

Thanks!

can the red camera pois work on model dnx7120

My garmin nuvi 760 response is very slow after 4.10 firm ware update.

I have been creating my own POI files and am always looking at new things to do with my Nuvi 200W. When I turn my Nuvi on if I want to access my Custom POI files I have to go Where to? - Extras - Custom POIs - .... then I can see all my files. When I navigate to the Custome POIs button it makes it look like there is room for more options.

What else can I have here?

Does Garmin offer any type of calander application that we could run on a Nuvi? I have the Nuvi 200W and thought that a calander that shows an entire month would look really good on the wide-screen!

I just installed 4.6 on my Garmin 680. The GPS updates current position in large incremental steps instead of smoothly tracking my position. The step size is so large that at times I can be past an intersection while the GPS shows be still approaching it.

Anyone else experiencing this or know if I can get and reinstall version to 4.5.

Not like it's a big deal or anything, but I only noticed a week or 2 ago, as I get on the highway, my Nuvi 260, while in 3D mode at least, zooms out some. (Never tried in 2D.) When I get .6 miles from my exit, it starts zooming back in. I never read this in the manual or heard about it anywhere before.

I'm just curious as to the things that govern this effect.

One of our GPS units is a C330. Whenever a route is activated, it usually defualts to the 800 ft zoom mode. Even when I manually zoom out, it reverts back to 800 ft. My other units choose a zoom rate of about 1/2 of the total area. If the road segment is 30 miles, it shows a 15 mile zoom rate.

Does any other c330 users have this problem? Any suggestions?

We discovered there are more nüvis that have the linebreak display problem than the nüvi 350 and nuvi 360, the 255 and 255w also do.

Are others affected?? If you want to check yours, go to the Linebreak Testing link on the left window of http://PoiVerifier.com .

Hi -

I got to poking around in the Nuvi 255 and I found this very nice little xml file. I opened it with notepad and found that it contained what I think are my "favorites" and what appears to be the TripLog.

Which version was the last in which you could roll back to the previous version(s?)

Does anyone know if the nuvi 200 has routing capability? I would like to enter in 10-20 POI's, then have it automatically determine the shortest route (i want to hit each POI). If it doesn't, does anyone know the cheapest unit that has this capability?

I have a nuvi 270... and finally got a card reader for the SD memory chip I bought with the unit. There is nothing in the small pamphlet of a manual for this unit that even discusses the use of the chip. I have brought across my custom POIs to the chip using the POI loader...but was wondering if anything else can be saved to the chip and be able to be used by the nuvi?
