Need Help. I downloaded the latest version of POI Loader and it looks like it is loading but stops short of bringing up the screen to load POI's. What am I doing wrong?

I have a Garmin Nuvi 350. Someone has given me a route file in gdb format. Can I convert it to csv format so the POI loader will load it onto my 350? If so how do I do this?
Thanks

At what point does one have permanent status or is it necessary to always have 3 out of 5 weeks.

I've got a bunch of POI's loaded and read about how to get custom alert tones on a nuvi 200 (achieved with success!), but I can't see my Custom POI icons when browsing the map. I did everything right loading the icons because the icon shows up when I get directions to a specific location, or when I save that specific POI as a favorite.

I think I'm either being dense or I don't remember my Earth Science (probably both). I'm looking at Google Earth and I see a cemetery in Lowell, IN well over 200 miles from me. I see the Lat & Long given at the bottom of the page as Degrees and Minutes ie 41º 22' 40.80 N. Now I do not know how to convert that to a number with 5 or 6 decimal places to put in a POI file.

Hi
My wife (who is usually incredibly careful) managed to lose my (our?) Nuvi 370 on a business trip. There are other boards to discuss how she should repay me, but on this board, am curious

a) any ideas on when new Nuvi's are likely to be introduced

i downloaded a .csv file and my computer said it could not open this file. I dont understand. help.

Has anyone tried installing the downloadable games from Garmin on a 750? The site says they're for the 8xx and 5000, but I was curious, and didn't want to spend the money if we knew they didn't work. Thanks!

hi i just got a garmin 680 yesterday and was wondering is there anyway to get different voice prompts for that unit like celebs or tv characters etc.?

This post could have been included in any number of other posts, Costco prices, 2009 update, or prices dropping, etc., but I decided to start a new one.

What a revolting development this is. I ordered a nuvi 760 from Costco and it arrived via UPS yesterday.

I kind of like what I have seen commented on about the Garmin beanbag mount.

Does anyone in Ontario have some idea where I could purchase one? I know I could buy one through eBay or some other online location, but if it is coming in from the USA, then there is all the hassle of duty and taxes and all that stuff that I would rather not deal with.

Thanks for any help you can supply.

Help, I am new to this. I recently purchased a Nuvi 750 and I could find no place in the menus to turn alerts off or on. A Garmin tech advised me that the 750 will handle alerts and that the normal place this menu would be found is under "tools" "settings" and then the down arrow. Is is not there or anywhere else.

Are POI (not favorites) tied to maps? In other words, if I switch maps (ie:world maps or Euro maps)will the POI still work / show up?

Anyone bought a Garmin 350/360 recently from Amazon? Does it came preload with the NT 2008 or 2009 map?

I just had to laugh at this weeks Circuit City ad.

They have a TomTom unit with the Garmin interface.

It's about time TomTom recognized the superior interface that Garmin uses.
Just kidding of course, no flames wars please.

Looking for a bicycle mount for my nuvi 350. Anyone have any ideas?

I was wondering if you think Garmin would update the UI which they are using for the nuvi 2*5 models to the older nuvi models. Eg. the graphical turn arrow and speed indicator. It seems that all those changes can be done with a firmware update. Think it is possible Garmin would update the older ones? Thank you.

My Friend Rigo Ramos is going to mexico next week is there anything he needs to do to use his garmin 550c out of the U.S. Any suggestions would be appreciated

This might be a crazy question but exactly what is MapSource and what does it do? When I bought my GPS the 2008 US Map was already on my Nuvi 780. I did not have to download anything. I know recently found out I can get the 2009 US Map for free so I'm working with Garmin customer support to get my free download since I bought my gps recently.
