Garmin talk

If I remember correctly last summer (2007)I traveled to Yellowstone from Indiana and I could swear there was a category for campgrounds in the Garmin map data that I used several times. I have recently updated to the 2009 map and there is no campground listing except for a few under lodgings. Campgrounds that I found and visited last year are no longer in the map data.

I have the Nuvi 350. I see on the Map settings, Map Outlines (which is set to ON). I checked the manual, it just mentions to turn it on and off. What does it do?
I know the others, Detail, View, and Vehicle.

I am having a problem with the updated Dunken Donut POI. I have been using POI since April and have never had a problem with the 16 POI (including Dunken Donuts)in the past. Today, I was updating the rest area, red lights and a few others. They all loaded ok.

So I have multiple Garmin Nuvi units, but only one laptop. I installed Mapsource on it. I want to update the maps on each unit and have unlock keys for each unit. Do you simply add multiple unlock codes and it will automatically determine the appropriate unlock key needed for the specific unit? Or do I need to delete one key before adding another?

Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone has loaded the lake maps on the street pilot 340 with any sucess and how did they look. Ihad spoke with Garmin and they said that they would load but I would have decreased detail. I don't care about the depths I want to be able to save locations on the water and plot to them. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know where I could buy a "bean bag support " for a Garmin 650 in the Vancouver BC area.
I'm tired of the window support falling off.

Hi,

I have a Nuvi 260W. In some of the post I read about 2D and 3D mapviews on th Garmin's GPS. I do not know what this is about, so I hope someone will explain it to me. Thanks.

First, I have a nuvi 660. I have read many of posts online (in FAQ and forums) but I am still having problems...

I have loaded several POIs without problems and I can see them under "Custom POIs" and see my custom graphic under the "map" fuction.

Question: As I travel to a specific address, can I see my custom POI's enroute (i.e. as I pass by on interstate for example)?

Do I need to update my Redlight Files every week?

Hello all, newbie here.
Just tried to load a POI file to my Garmin.
Downloaded the POI loader to my MacBook and started the .app but it did not recognize my unit.
Is my Streetpilot just too old to download new POIs?

my daughter's nuvi 760 suddenly want power up - been used with automobile braket connected to cigarette outlet. Anyone have an idea ?

I came across these two Summer Olympics POI files from Garmin (http://www.garmin.com/garmin/cms/cache/offonce/us/services/f...), and would like to convert them to KML (or csv). However, unfortunately none of the gps converters I've tried recognize the GPI file. Any thoughts? Does Garmin have different types of GPI files? Do they ever encrypt their GPI files?

I just checked my 760 for updates using the web update software and there was one new update for the traffic receiver that I installed in the GPS unit. When I plugged the GPS unit into the car traffic power connection it installed the software.

A picture's worth a 1000 words when it comes to mount stability.

I wonder if it's possible to drive from the USA to Panama and what would be the roads you'd drive to do it. I'm not sure I want to undertake such a trip, but it is interesting to see how it would be done.

Hi,

I have a StreetPilot c340, and quite like it. The only problem is, when I'm driving around it doesn't show POI icons on the map. The only way I can get them to show up is if I deliberately target one of them, and have the unit direct me there. Is there a way to have the POI's just show as I'm driving around?

Thanks!

My son went to update his software on his 200 and something got messed up and is now missing map info and will not start up. If I backed up his nuvi can I just erase his drive and reinstall from the back-up? Or is there somewhere I can download original software? Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Well, I had a 760 and returned it. It just had too many bells and whistles I didn't use. I wanted the custom route option but it didn't work the way I thought it would.

I'm looking at getting a 255. I want the small one and not the wide version. I wanted to know how people like using this model.
