Garmin talk

So i am pretty new at this POI stuff. I did read the FAQ, did read the Garmin FAQ, did read the "How do I load custom sound alerts...". I read and read and read.

I have a Nuvi 200.

This is what I did:

1) Download lastest POI loader from Garmin site.
2) Download sox.exe and place it in program files/garmin directory (poiloader originally prompted me for this location).

I currently own a Tomtom 910 & a Garmin Nuvi 660.

The tomtom while on route will advise me, by an audible tone, when I'm speeding. I assume this feature is loaded within the maps since I have done nothing to obtain this service.

I've contacted Garmin support who informed me that they do not provide the feature but in writing stated:

Lately, when using the navigation on my 760, I end up saying "Nah, I don't want to go that way." fairly often.

Both Hornbyp's Guide and Motorcycle Mama's posting state that the MP3 file must have exactly the same name as the corresponding csv or gpx file (e.g., walmart.csv and walmart.mp3). However, Hornby says file names are not case-sensitive, whereas MM says they are.

My wife was taking her mount off the windshield and the rubber piece that is between the plastic mount and the glass came off. Her mount is about 9 months old. Everyone says that Garmin's customer service is good. Does anyone have any experience with Garmin replacing mounts?

My plug got broken recently, while attempting to repair it I noticed that their was no voltage regulation inside the plug. Is it regulated in the cradle?

I plan to take a trip from Gainesville, FL to Fair Play, SC this October (on a Sunday). From my own research and Google Maps, I should take I75 to Atlanta, then around Atlanta to I85 to SC. My Garmin Nuvi 760 wants to take me off I75 at Macon, GA and travel up 441 which I know can't be the "fastest route".

Is there a way to reset the trip information without resetting the odometer? I just reset the trip and i was sad to see that my odometer also went to zero. Luckily I only had a couple hundred miles on it. On my 60CS you can pick and choose what fields are reset, and I have 20k+ miles on the odometer.

I was on my way to dinner and having my 880 connected as usual, all of a sudden a screen popped up and it said Remote Access firmware update, the only problem was it never went past 1% mark, even while I left on battery and then upon leaving the restaurant, it still stayed on 1%, so I disconnected the unit and I figured Garmin must have an update, connected to webupdater, and no update..

Garmin Nuvi 360:
I can't get my phone to pair with my GPS again. I have had them working together and I've made a few calls. Now I cannot get it to connect. When I try, the GPS pops up the phone passkey, so I assume that the phone is communicating with it. When the phone asks for the passkey I enter it and it says "Pairing Failed." Any ideas?

I am new to this site today. Where is the best place, in terms of price, to buy the new Garmin 2009 map update software. Garmin sells it for $69.00.

Has anyone had a problem lately with their traffic antenna on a c550 just stopping? Garmin told me this morning they are having problems with them, they tech gave me a RMA and a free year of service on top of the running subscription, and will nextday a new one to me.

I have a NUVI 660 that will not allow me to load custom POI's, that are actually usable. They are installed in a one large file that is in the Garmin\POI directory. Nothing will show up under custom >> Extras, even though there are several custom POI's installed. I have contacted Garmin three separate times about this issue, and did the install per their instructions, with no success.

Is there a way to change the icons for your Favorites on the 660 ?

Speaking of Garmin's 2009 map updates, I cant seem to figure out how to determine what's built in to my Garmin nuvi 760 unit. bougt it in late june 2008. I know the 2009 updates were available at the time, cause they kept showing up when I did websearches for reviews of the Nuvi line.

Why is the download purchase for the 2009 map update not available for Canada?

Has the 270 replaced the 350? I saw one on Costco's website and it looks an awful lot like the 350.

I just downloaded a POI for ExxonMobil Interstate locations to my computer. When I open my POI Loader and browse for the file, it does not show up in the folder that it is in for me to download to my GPS. Am I doing something wrong? I have a 260w and am trying to get some Mobil locations which are on highways and do not show under POI's from Garmin. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Iam a new user of GPS Garmin 360. Is it possible to program an alert when i drive above speed limit?

Online I ordered the CNNTNA DVD, and I assumed it would be the uptodate current version like was preinstalled on my new Nuvi 880. What I received was one with a SKU
indicating it was the 2008 version. There was no second DVD included in the package, so they did not send the 2009 update.
