Garmin talk

Finally upgraded from my ol reliable Garmin eMap to the Nuvi 750....of course, theres not much lacking in the 750 compared to eMap.

However, one thing I have noticed, is there is no way to look up or determine the sunrise/sunset and moon rise/moon set like I could on the eMap.

I used this feature on my bike rides to really guage how much daylight was left.

Thoughts, hints, tips, etc?

After using the POI Loader and uploading .csv files to the device. How do you view them and where do they reside on the GPS?

I tried uploading a .csv file this morning and it appeared to work fine. However, I could not see any POIs from this file (in the case Dunkin' Donuts).

Thanks in advance.......

One, I guess the Nuvi 650 doesn't have a 3D mode like a Tomtom? That sucks! I wish it did (or maybe I am blind) but I don't think so.

I recently bought a Garmin 750. It's my first GPS and I take it with me everywhere I drive -- sometimes just to see how it gets me to places I've been before.

Can anyone that has actually removed the magnet post some pics of the disassembled antenna once the magnet is removed?

I took the antenna apart, but there is a thin piece of foil covering up the area where the magnet is. I don't want to peel it back blindly, so... Can anyone help me out?

Thanks guys!

How long does it take to charge with the USB? Is it charging when you see the computer icon under the Garmin

I had it in a couple of hours and the unit was only charged half way.

I've been spending the entire day trying to update my garmin c330 and add the 2009 update that i bought. Says there is a problem trying to connect with the garmin website and server.

Anybody know what is going on?

I have uploaded a considerable number of custom POI's to my Garmin nuvi 780, and I can get to them all via the Extras icon. Most of these POI files are in gpx format, with the remainder in csv format.

I have downloaded the file and then copied it to the GPX folder on the garmin and then ran the POI loader. I tell the POI loader that the POIs are to be installed the the garmin unit and that the files are currently in Garmin/GPX. The software does it thing and announces that x number of POIs have been DL.

Hi;

I have searched forum about same subject there are some but they dont help to me.

In 3D mode if I click screen for zoom mode, I can see all the defauld factory poi icons othervise I can't see any of them 3D or 2D mode. Only camera icons and allert are working

But I can see all the custom poi icons which I created on map mode.

Thank you for replay.

Does anyone know how to increase the 10,000 track point limit in most Garmins? My nuvi 750 has more than enough memory, but starts removing "bread crumbs" when it gets to 10,000 points.

Thanks for the help!

I recently installed the 2009 maps and did all the software updates at the same time on my Nuvi 360. Now when I start my car in the morning and drive off it takes forever to aquire the satellites. It did not used to. During the rest of the day its fine, just the initial first time.

Anyone else experience this or know the reason why?

I know MSN Direct require subscription but is real-time traffic free?

Unit: Garmin 750. Map 2009 NA NT. System: 3.00

This is my first attempt at installing custom POIs and I've obviously done something wrong. I've used POI Loader to remove all Extras so I'm ready to try again with a clean slate. Can and will you help?

On my Garmin 650 I have "Favorites" and "Extras". The "Favorites" show on the map and "Extras" do not. When I download POI's they are downloaded into the "Extras" and I have to get out of the map and search "Extras" to see what is close.

Having icons and sounds available on POI Factory indicates to me that I am missing something. How can I have POI's show on map?

First announced in January at CES 2008, the nüvi 880 and 850 navigators are arriving in stores just in time for summer travel.

I have the new Nuvi 750...the other day, on my driveway here in Dallas, I was looking for R.E.I., which I actually know is about 16 to 20 miles away. However, when I went to do a search, it found multiple references, all of which contained REI in the name. All of the references or points it found, where all under 2 miles from my current location.

Am traveling to the East coast of the States this month from Ireland, will be using a Nuvi 370 that came with a GTM 12. I purchased the Nuvi traveling home last Autumn and have never connected the GTM 12 to the Nuvi as there is no FM traffic service in Ireland, I have one question:

Will the GPS 18 antenna that I received with the nRoute program work with MapSource? I have recently purchased a Nuvi 680. Obviously the Nuvi has its own antenna but I am wondering if the stand alone antenna that I recieved with the nRoute program for the computer will work with the MapSource program or must the Nuvi be plugged into the computer?

Sorry guys, 1st time user.

I seem to be having trouble usIng my 350... It wont work when I put it on charge. I lost the Garmin USB and now using one that came with my Blackberry. Not ideal when on the road for more than 3 hours... Anyone got any suggestions?
