NavTeq Error Submission

I wonder how Navteq verifies submissions sent in by users. I sent in a correction in December and they responded to my submission a couple days ago stating nothing will be done and it has been determined their database is correct. Hmmmm, considering the road that isn't listed in Mapsource and shows up on my Nuvi as not being there is indeed there and has been for two years.

Icons for POI files

OK. I'm new to this GPS POI file thing. I've figured out how to load the POI files in my Garmin 260W, but how do you attach the Icon files to a database? For example I just downloaded the Starbucks files and icon.

Question regarding Nuvi 770...

I recently bought a Nuvi 770 for both personal and business use. I drive a Tow Truck and was wondering if there are any programs i can load up on my NUVI to advise me of commercial truck routes. I know one of my other drivers uses a garmin street pilot and i believe that unit has a truck feature in it and is pretty good with the truck routes. Any help with this will be greatly appriciated.

Nuvi speed sign

My Nuvi 750 will display the posted speed limit on major roads. I would say it is 95%+ right most of the time. It is fun to look at but can you do anything with it?

Garmin Mobile XT POI question

I'm not really new to this whole poi and Garmin thing, but I am new to this Mobile XT. I purchased this mobile XT for my Pocket PC. On garmins website, it says you can use Garmin POI loader to load custom POI's. So.. I downloaded the rest area POI from here, and loaded it with Garmin POI loader. For my settings, I asked it to notify me within 4000 feet. Well, where do I access these POI's?

GPS and Golf

I recently played a round of golf at a course that had GPS units in their powercarts. GREAT feature! It told you the distance left to the pin, distance or your drive. Couple other goodies like info items for slope of the green, etc.

Gas Prices and Driving Speeds

I had to take a trip to Birmingham this past weekend. The posted speed limit on I-65 is 70. I set my cruise at 70 and went on my merry way. At least 70% of the traffic I came across had to have been doing between 80 and 90 MPH. Most of them were full-size pickups and SUVs. There were only a few old fogies like me that were trying to maintain a legal rate of speed.

Can't decide Nuvi 350 or 360.

I ordered the nuvi 350 along with a garmin beanbag friction mount, the item are not ship until June 19. I have a Motorola rarz with Bluetooth capability, should I change the nuvi 350 with a 360. I know the only different is Bluetooth function. I want to know is it worth it? How is the microphone quality and is the firmware any bad?

MSN Direct and Gas Station Names

I have a Nuvi 680. Is there any way to change the names of the gas stations show up in MSN direct? Almost all the station names in my area are incorrect. For example Diamond Shamrock is now Valero. I am thankful that gas price feature seems to work pretty good but it even has a hard time keeping up with the frequent changes.

Streetpilot C340 not charging in the car

Hi,

my streetpilot C340, which is 6 months' old has stopped charging from the car charger. Though I can charge it from the computer with USB cable.

Can somebody advise what could have gone wrong and how can I rectify it?

thanks

Daytime vs Night display on Garmin GPS

I just experienced a sudden change in the display on my Nuvi 260W. It went from light to dark at dusk. Is there a setting that controls this change? I did not like the dark screen, and would prefer to keep it looking the way it does in the daytime.

tracking for Nuvi 260?

I've read comments about the 3.4 version firmware for Nuvi 200 has a hidden tracking feature.

I would like to try this on my wife's recently purchased nuvi 260. What version of the firmware do I need?

According to the post below do I need version 3.40? can I use the nuvi 200 3.4 version or do I need the nuv260 version? Not sure if old Nuvi 200 firmware works on all nuvi 2XX models.

nüvi 760 - change headphone to line out

I've read where changing the output on the nüvi from "headphone" to "line out" increases the volume and quality of the signal when running through a cassette adapter.

I went into the diagnostic screens and changed the setting to "line out" but, when I go back to the diagnostic screens, it's always set to "headphone" again. How does one go about changing this setting and making it stick?

Laoding POI on SD Card for Garmin C330

Hello,

Is anyone aware on how POIs can be loaded on a SD Card which then should be used on Garmin Streetpilot C330?
I am not even sure whether C330 Supports POIs through SD Card.
I'll highly appreciate if someone can shed some light on this.
