Garmin talk

I recently tried to add the proximity alert file from the GPS tips, tricks and work arounds on my 660. Needless to say I could not get the process to work and kept showing my redlight alert showing on my POIs. I tried to remove the file but was unsecessful in removing off my 660(I did remove it later). I accessed the POI GPI in my garmin and tried to open it with the notebook.

Thank you, Miss POI for including a link to the

Garmin (nuvi) GPS - Tricks, Tips, Work Arounds, Hints,
Secrets and Ideas WEB site.

in your FAQs area.

I certainly welcome all readers of your excellent POI
Factory to visit and take a look around. Currently, there
are over 50 helpful informative and fun articles dedicated
to the nuvi series.

I have been a big fan of Google to Garmin since it was made avaiable. Today, I was looking for a Resturant to go to for Mother's Day. When I hit the send button, the same screen appeared, after I imputed send to GPS, a new screen opened. It was the Garmin home page vertical on the screen. I found the old link on the bottom of the page. It did send the info. to my GPS.

Help,

Garmin Newbie, I uploaded the Walmart & Sam's Club POI as my Nuvi 780 reported the nearest SamsClub as being 36 miles away when there are at least 10 within that radius according to both GoogleMaps and MSN Live Maps.

I'm concerned about the short battery life (2 - 3 hours) of my nuvi 360, which is about 1 1/2 years old. The manual suggests it should be between 4 - 8 hours, "depending on usage". I would appreciate comments on other users' experience with this unit. Thanks.

What, exactly, can I expect of a bmp file that in loaded into my Garmin (model 780) I expected that the bmp image would appear in the screen. If not then what does it do?

Can anyone with the new 2009 maps tell me if the following coordinates put you on a 4 lane highway or just a field?

Is anyone aware of an national golf course POI.

I have a Nuvi 660 with North America 2009 maps loaded. I live in NC. We are traveling to Scotland in a few weeks and will be about in rental car for 2 weeks. I purchased the UK maps on SD card. Now when I arrive in Scotland and insert the card and turn on the Nuvi, will it know to use the UK maps.

Is it just me or is it the 3rd day that in My Garmin it says site upgrade in process. I wonder what they are doing.

I just received the 2009 map updates. Can someone tell me if it is necessary to uninstall the 2008 before I install the 2009 or does the 2009 overwrite the old files

I don't know why but if I roll back my Nuvi 350's firmware to 5.00 I could acquire satellites faster. I'm thinking of keeping the 5.00 firmware instead of the current 5.50.

I just downloaded all the school alerts for the whole nation and its over 7 megs. Will it all fit?

I know I can just put in my region, but I travel with my Nuvi

Hi all, what is the specs of the ac adptor for a Nuvi 250w?

In order to load new updates, I have to unload all POI's then reload everything. If I just load one POI that takes the place of everything already loaded. Am I doing this the right way? I have a nuvi 750. Thanks. John

Greetings,

I scanned the recent Subjects and don't think this has been said at POI Factory yet.
