Downloading of POI and Icons the same as my Nuvi 350? Thank you

How do I download Icons? I download POIs OK but not Icons.

Thank you

I HAVE A C580 AND AM PRETTY MUCH BRAINDEAD WITH TECHNOLOGY-BUT I DOWNLOADED REDLIGHTS,WALLMARTS AND RESTSTOPS FROM THE SITE AND THE REDLIGHTS SEEMS TO WORK GREAT BUT NOTHING HAPPENS WITH THE OTHERS-AFTER LOOKING FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE HOURS FOR AN ANSWER I'VE DECIDED TO RISK IT AND ASK FOR HELP,SO ANYTHING WOULD BE GREATLY APPRICEATED ALSO HOW DO I ADD SOUNDS OR ICONS WITH THEM?

The Nuvi 350, for both the normal (non-Tourguide) proximity alerts and Tourguide proximity alerts, plays the associated MP3 file at least 4 times, and not necessariy back to back, before it finally quits. Very annoying. These are NOT speed alerts, only proximity alerts. I have "Single Tone" checked, however this seems to have no effect.

Dont know how many have seen this. But to me it sounds like a IPhone.. Or close to it. Sounds kinda neat.

Can someone tell me if Garmin 250W GPS can be charged by connecting it to the PC via a USB cable? I notice that when you connect the GPS to the PC it automatically turns on, but not sure if unit gets charged. Thanks.

Hi all,

I have Garmin 650 but still using 2008 map and I have a question that do I need to buy a new map to update my GPS map? Is it still give me the right direction?

Thanks for you advices.

I am obviously new to the Garmin GPS (760) arena and can't figure out 3 things: 1) how do I key in a normal destination (i.e. to Denver from Dallas) and include Rest Areas POI at the same time?

Could one of you tech savy users create .bmp files for Staples and Wingstop?

Thanks,

It seems we have a new vehicle.

I noticed that some of the POI's show up in the middle of the road, now if its a back road two lane thats fine. An expample of what I am talking about is the Starbucks POI's all seem to be in the middle of the highway. At a busy intersetion with 4 lanes of traffice and 4 shopping plaza'a on each of the intersetions, locating the POI can be quite a problem.

If you have one set on Custom POIs stored on the Internal Memory of a Garmin unit and another set of POIs on a SD Card how does the Unit display them? Are both sets of Custom POIs "grouped together" and listed as One set of Custom POIs or are the listed Separately?

Thanks

I can't see the road I'm currently driving on. I know you can with TomTom and Magellan and I was wondering if I am missing something on the 205W.
Thanks

anyone else have to get a wired fm transmitter due to dropages with the wireless fm or is it just the nuvi 760?

This worked for me, I told Garmin I've been having intermittent problems with my nuvi 760 freezing up. I mailed it in, and in a week they mailed me back with a refurbished unit with a different serial number. I then regestered it and it came up as a newly purchased unit. And i got a FREE map update, i had my 760 since xmas.

How do I put audio books for a site called audiobooksforfree.com on my nuvi 350? Every time I download a book and try to install it with the poi loader it say it does not reconize any files to be loaded. Help this is one of the resons I got the nuvi 350.

Will someone tell me where to place the file, Sox.exe?

I have downloaded it and extracted it from the .zip file. I placed it in several different places on my PC where Garmin files are located, but when I use the Garmin POI loader to install my pois a message comes back telling me that the sox.exe file cannot be located.

What am I not doing?

Thanks.

I am trying to download from my Garmin c340 street pilot to my computer and then upload them in to my new nuvi 350. How do I do this I can't figure this out. Thanks you any help.

Besides being enthused about Le Tour de France and Team Garmin, I'm excited about the new Felt Bicycle vehicle that I used on a cycling trail this morning.

But I've noticed some curious things about this new vehicle:

• it only displays properly in 3D View
• it changes to a blue triangle if you touch the map
• it switches to a blue triangle after zooming out 12 levels

1.) No excuses....

2.) I offer a sincere apology to all in this forum for my behavior last week when I over-reacted to the lack of an answer to my question about SD memory cards within a few minutes. I said something like no one having interest in answering a newbee's question about SD memory cards in a Garmin c330.
