Garmin talk

This is a follow-up to a previous post. I just upgraded to a Nuvi 760 from a Nuvi 650 and have noticed that the 760 will not display any of the internal POIs while driving, only my custom POIs will display. When viewing the map in browse mode they display fine but disappear again when I switch back to Map mode. (I know about 2D, and being zoomed in and all that.)

Anyone seen this: I enter my home phone number into my home preferences. If I subsequently try to call it, it truncates the number so the call is not completed... If I open the home prefs, the complete number is there...

Anyone?

Does anyone know how to let Garmin know about outdated POIs?

I've come across a few outdated "built in" POIs, and I think I should let Garmin know, but don't know how to go about it.

Just to make sure, I don't mean POIs maintained here at the POI-factory, but the ones that are included out of the box.

Some of these seem to be a few years outdated.

does one have a poi file for d.o.t. scales

Hello all,
I'm new to this site and I'm interested in using POIs to locate things like National Landmarks and Monuments. I really haven't messed much with POIs but can see it's potential. What I would like to know is whether or not there is any way to actually see the POIs on a program such as Mapsource?

Just bought my garmin 660. I bought TomTom 720 last month and returned it for little bugs here and there with the software and the navigation directions had issues on some of the addresses i gave it. However, Garmin has excellent directions but when it comes to the software, it falls short.

For example

who keeps up the speed traps i have several to add to it?!

thanks

Well, I've found my first dispute with MapSource and my Nuvi 260 routing software. Trying to set up a route from Ft. Myers FL to Denver CO, both refuse to drive I-70 from St. Louis to Denver, which is both the shortest and the fastest way. Even when I try to set up waypoints, as soon as possible, both systems immediately jump off the freeway on to state highways.

can you download custom icons for c330

Can someone plz explain to me how to download maps from Mapqueat and Google maps to a Streetpilot C330
Its complicated for me and i need help

Hi,

Is there a way I can give a custom Icon to one of my favorites? I know I can change it to any of the icons in the list, but I'd like to have a custom icon.
Where should I copy the bmp file to make it show up in the icon list?

does anyone know what ctegorie Wal- mart is under on a C330

i have read mxed answers on how this works, are poi's direction of travel specific? and if so, do i need to do anything to specify this in my poi files?

I recently bought a Garmin Nuvi 350 to compliment my GPSmap60CSx
used in walking and hiking. The reviews of the 350 looked good
and I liked the feature of being able to set up Custom POIs to
give alerts for things like scenic points, cameras and so on. I
made a test .csv file for a POI point nearby set up to respond
to approaching within a prescribed distance and downloaded it

I was driving in Miami and when I had to turn on State Road A1A my Nuvi 770 said "Turn right on SENIOR" A1A".

I'm pretty sure that I have heard Jill say "State road" many times. I think that it is down to the capitals: Normally the text shows stateroads as "SR8". In this case, the state road was indicated as "SrA1A". Anyone else heard Jill say "Senior" instead of "State Road"?

I just got a 2gb sd card since I have already used all the memory in the internal memory chip. My problem is that i cannot locate this new memory chip on my computer to download more poi's. I have the original poi file under the garmin file, but do not see where the new card is located. My garmin is a 650. thanks

I knolw this is a dumb question but I need clarification. Can I put all my custom POI's on an SD card and then put it in the NUVI and will the NUVI look at the card for POI's? In other words, can I search the SD card when the NUVI is running for the custom POI's?

My c550 has all roads that I go on as pink. If I was a girl a women or a women in a mans body I mite like pink roads but I am not. I am just a mam in a man body and I do not like pink. Is there any way I can change the road color. Any color I do not care just not pink.

Do you have to use the poi loader to upload from the computer to the nuvi or can you just copy files?

Hello everybody,
I just downloaded latest web updater for my c580
