Some of the custom csv files that I uploaded to my nuvi 780 don't show all the data - only the place name, the mileage, and the direction.

Yet when I look at the csv file with Excel or Notepad, the fourth column often includes street, town and phone number. Why isn't this additional data showing up on my nuvi screen when I invoke that custom POI?

i have about 35 non vehicle .srf available that i would like to share with the group (some i collected & some i modified to meet my needs)
how would i make these available to POI_Factory members ?

any one have any ideas why Google can't find my nuvi 260w, i have google earth plus

I want to arrange my POI's as an example below.

MY POI ==> List of different POI's as sub categories.

Thanks for help.

I downloaded a poi for San Diego Attractions. In the csv file there is a location for The Gas Lamp district but it doesnt show up in my unit. However, I can do a search for it and it will show up. I can view 50 out of the 140 locations in the file. Why?

Has anyone gained experience with Garmin's Vehicle Integration Box (VIB)?

Seems like a good work-around for the Nuvi 760's FM transmitter - if it's installed and works properly.

Is it possible and/or do any of you know a way of changing (increasing) map refresh rate on a Nuvi? It seems to be about 1 fps.I heard the new Nuvi 250 line will refresh at 4 fps or Is there a comparison chart that shows the refresh rates of various models?

What do I do when my GPS (260W) is unable to locate a satellite? I gave up after 10 minutes, ansd shut it down. I restarted, but situation did not change. The picture on my map was the car'socation when I selected a via point anbout 3 hours earlier, at which point I turned off the GPS. It was when I restarted it and selected a new destination with Where To that the problem arose.

I installed the traffic cam POI and sometimes I get warnings that cover the entire screen and other times I get warnings that are small little red "boxes" at the top of the map that don't cover the screen.

This for for those with compatible NUVIs.

There are multiple ways to build routes using MapSource.

1. One is to use only a start point and end point.

2. Another is to build waypoints and then let MapSource make a route from them.

3. Way 3 is to use the "Rubber Band" method.

And there are probably more.

Has anybody installed voices from pig tones for a Street Pilot 350. I am intrigued by the voices, but worried about it locking up my unit.

I have recently bought a SD-card with additional maps for my Nüvi 760. The unit is reading the card without any problems and I can see the new maps on the screen. The unit can however not find any single address on the new card / maps when I try to get directions. When I try the same SD-card in my Nüvi 770 I don't have any problems at all - Does anybody have an idea what could be the problem?

Help!

So I'm going to get a nuvi 360 with a 4GB sandisk SD card soon. I know that you can put JPEG images and mp3 musics into the card, but can you also put map .IMG files into the card and get it to load into the nuvi?
Because I'm planning to update to the NT 2009 map but also would like to keep the old map as well.

As a new owner of a 760 I have been experimenting with routes. It seems that the only way I can force the 760 to use a particular road is to set a via point. But then I have a flag on the display and it announces "approaching Smith road" when I'm already on Smith road.

Hello! I'm a new Nuvi 660 owner and am trying to figure out exactly how everything works. I've used POI Loader to load all the Sam's Club locations(just for fun). I'm wondering if there is a way to search the custom POIs at the same time as I'm searching the pre-loaded POIs.

I have a NUVI 350 for about a year and a half and I am not thrilled with it for a number of reasons. I would like to buy a different brand as a gift for my wife and saw the this at Buy.com http://tinyurl.com/4fl57o
Does anyone here have experience with the Naxtar brand. The price and features look like a perfect inexpensive package.

I made my first POI using Google Earth for the coordinates then added alot of info using Excel like the address and phone number but when I load it to my Garmin Nuvi 200, it has the info, but not the "Go" button. Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

I have a Garmin 780 and I love the unit. Last week on a vacation trip to Colorado, I never received audible notification of traffic hazads that I approched. I know that the MSN device is working because of other information that MSN is providing to the 780.

Is there a problem with MSN Traffice Alert or do I need to change a setting?

I downloaded some waypoints to my unti via google maps. When I click on them thru "my locations" then click on view map it shows the name of my waypoint in a double text or text with a shadow behind it. ANyone know what this might be?
