Newbie Question

Greetings. Frequent lurker, first time poster. I'm a new Garmin user (650) and am planning my first long distance trip. I have used a couple of your POI files. For my trip I don't want to use the proposed route that my Garmin is suggesting. How to I map out an alternate route?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Extra icons (dots) at max zoom Nuvi 750

I have favorite poi from a planned trip to Orlando showing up on my home location in Canada around my car icon in max zoom. It looks like my car is surrounded by small black dots. That can't be normal or is it? The Icons are sort of useless anyway since you have to use a stylus to be able to activate them and they don't show shopping centers but one individual store in that ctr.

Buffalo Wings (Mom & Pop) Project Discussion

I would like to start a POI list for Buffalo Wings. I know that we all have heard of Hooters Wings, but their are many local places the make outstanding wings. Sandwich and pizza stores are a great locations for Wings. I belive that I can do this, but on a small scale to start. This will be my first try. I would like to start on the East Coast section of the U.S. Then expand it later.

wrong turns

I was leaving my friends house and my nuvi told me to turn right, however when I looked at the highlighted route it clearly indicated a left turn. I returned later and the same thing happened again. I went home and reinstalled the latest software and now the problem seems to be fixed. Has this happened to anyone else ?

Firmware automatically updated or backdated while driving

I remember a discussion here a couple of months ago in which someone claimed that his GPS was automatically updated while he was driving---no computer, no Webupdater involved. The conclusion of the discussion I think was that it was not possible since the satellites are owned by the Defense Department, not Garmin.

Question about Garmin 660 and City Navigator NT v.8

Ok so I'm new and have a few basic questions.

Please help.

I purchased a Garmin 660 with City Navigator NT v.8 preloaded around April 7th. It did not come with a disc other than the manual. I have looked at the files inside the 660 and see no .map files, etc. I have downloaded the latest MapSource and installed.

Has anyone experienced inaccurate values on the trip information screen?

NYC Bus Layovers

Is anyone interested in putting together a POI list for Bus Layovers in NYC? This may be helpful for drivers that go there frequently.

Casinos on 650

I've noticed that some casinos are on the preloaded software on the 650 and others are not. Why is this?

Thanks

Deleting POI files & renaming

Hello- A few questions, before I delete "important" files. Can I delete all POI.GPI files? I think the .GPI files are ones that I download. Is this true? Also, can you rename a .GPI file to "Match" your Points of interest. FOr example, National Parks download as POI.GPI, can I rename it to Nationalparks.GPI?

IQue 3600 importing POIs

I have a Garmin IQue 3600. Unfortunately it does not support the new Garmin POI Loader.

How can I import POIs into this model?

Right now I make a new waypoint on the IQue and then manually insert latitude/longitude.

Obviously I'd like to find a better way to get POIs into the IQue.

Thanks

Everyday is a GREAT day :)

I accidentally deleted the gmapprom.img file from my nuvi 350! :(

I accidentally deleted the gmapprom.img file from my nuvi 350! sad

I was trying to upload 2008 maps and to free up memory that was required (had only like 700mb left and needed like 950mb) I thought deleting the biggest file on the GPS would work. Well I had enough room now but the GPS doesn't work. Now it is nothing but an overpriced mp3 player! sad

False Alerts

I don't have any red light camera/speed POIs installed, yet my NUVI 5000 will sometimes display "variable safety camera " alerts. Sometime it will also lock up. Anyone else with these types of problems?

This unit has been replaced once by Garmin.

Nuvi 200

A friend of mine purchased a Nuvi 200, and I am not familiar with it, since I have a C340. There is nothing in the manual about a USB cable to plug into a PC so you can load POI files and charge the unit, but it does have the ability to do that, doesn't it? Will it also function as a mass storage unit?

Wrong coordinates

I am trying to add to the Best Burgers list. When I find the Resturant on Google Map and open up the send to my GPS window. The name, address, Tel. # and what I belive are the coordinates are shown. It sends me the wrong place when I enter the coordinates in my GPS and look at it. The Burger place is Le Tub, 1100 N.Ocean Dr. Hollywood Fl. The coordinates that are shown are 26.03796, 80.14011.
