Speed camera alerts

It seems that all the speed camera alert are in one file. Is there a way to separate them so they will alert me when I go too fast instead of alerting me when I am X miles away from the speed camera.

POI's on NUVI 760

Hello, I have a NUVI 760 and was wondering what I have to do to get the garmin and the custom POI's to show up on the main nav map? When I go to the browse map screen the POI's show up. I have set my zoom to 200' and still nothing. Did I mis something in the set up? or does the 760 not have this feature? Thanks in advance.B

Washington Wineries

Just returned tonite from Eastern Washington and did some wine tasting. Just thought I would report we tried to find four wineries in Prosser using the new Garmin 2009 maps and the POI files from this website. The wineries showed up but when we got there we found they had moved in 2006. Went to the right address but no wineries by the name.

Mapsource Help

Ok Don't know what I am doing wrong. I create a route in mapsource and save it. I then open it hook up the Garmin and send the route. When it appears in My Date and I open it there are no points. When I open the file on the computer it shows the route fine. So what am I doing wrong?

Nuvi 760 will not power on.

I have had my Garmin since January and have not had a single problem with it. I recently upgraded the firmware and 2009 update and since has been working great. Used it yesterday, turned it off when I got home, got in the truck this morning and could not get unit to power on. I took it back to best buy because I had the extended warranty and they swapped it right there.

A hundred bucks turns a BlackBerry into a Garmin navigator

Garmin announced a new lifetime offer to Research in Motion BlackBerry smartphone owners: its complete turn-by-turn, voice direction service for a one-time fee of $99.99, for the life of their BlackBerrys.

WebUpdater Updated 750 from v2.70 to 2.90

The upgrade took about 2 minutes to perform on the computer and then another 2 minutes to update the 750.
Have the 750 connected to your computer (mine is an iMac) and run the updater;
Next eject the icon(s) for your SD Card (The Garmin icon will automatically eject.)
Lastly, start up your 750 while disconnected and you'll see on your screen that it's installing the software.

2009 map updates

I bought a new Garmin 780 in April. I contacted the Garmin registration web site to register the unit. They told me, at that time that I was eligible for the 2009 update and that it would be mailed to me in 4 to 6 weeks. It actually arrived in less than two weeks.

Nuvi 660 Firmware Version 4.40

Has anyone installed this yet and if so, any negative effects? I'm running 4.30 now and wanted to see what update are available for my unit but until I upgrade to 4.40 it won't give me a list of the rest of them.

Thanks!!

POI install for Nuvi 650

I have used the POI installer I downloaded from Garmin, also download the Walmart.csv file from POI factory. I have the .csv file in a seperate folder and I browse for the folder when I run the POI installer. The installer says I have successfully installed 3800+ POI but I cannot find the POI's under EXTRA. In fact NO custom POI are loaded. I'm sure I am doing something wrong. Please help.
