Garmin talk

how to I convert a .kml file to .csv or .gpx file and keep the address or description data intact. I have tried to convert several using some online tools but come up short and it only converts the coordinates and name not the address or phone.

I just got the new maps, but I am having problems intalling it on my nuvi 250w. When I go to install it, it says there is not enough room. How do I delete the 2008 map off. I have deselected it on the unit but I am unsure of how to delete it using mapsource.

I know this has been discussed at length, but I don't remember anyone posting this solution.

When I connect my nüvi 2x0 to the computer it goes into mass storage mode.

a Garmin 650! Can I download waypoints into my 650? I do have a Garmin Legend but was just wondering about my 650.

I was out riding around yesterday and made a pit stop. Zumo failed to power up after the stop.
Had to remove and replace the battery to resurect the damn thing. With all the chatter on several forums about this problem, it sure seems like Garmin would realize they have a serious problem and do something to fix it.

Hi,

I was wondering if there is some sort of limit to the value I can enter in the proximity alert Distance box when using the POILoader.

doesnt look like the finished product...but it works

Hi Folks,

I was wondering if there was a way to setup the Nuvi so that you can see "Exit POI's" like the Magellan units offer during navigation? I have noticed that the only POI that shows up when following a route is the Municipal Office in my area. It sure would be nice to see upcoming gas stations rather than leaving navigation to search for them.

Anyone know is it possible to set the time without doing a hard reset which I understand erases all my user entered data? If this is the only way to reset the time, can I backup my data and reset/reload it?

ok, stupid here..

anyway i am now a windmiller *clap clap clap*.. downloaded the redlight files.. got em on my nuvi660...

now.. how do i get it to alert me?

step by step please... i really cant think right now.. consider me lost.

Is there a way to remove the standard nuvi startup screen that says warning about driving with gps.

I came across this and thought it was pretty interesting.

Bonjour,

Comment puis-je ajouter une catégorie dans les points d'intérêt ?

Exemple,

Je me suis fais un fichier contenant plusieurs terrains de soccer au Québec et j'aimerais le classer dans une catégorie appelée Soccer.

Je pourrais l'ajouter sous Loisir aussi.

Merci!

This review is the best I've seen on the Nuvi 750. It mentions that the Nuvi 7xx series has less sensitivity to the Satellites than the previous 6xx models. However, it then goes on to point out that Garmin made the 7xx series even *more* sensitive than the 6xx series with the Firmware Update which provided SIRF's InstantFixII Technology.

I have searched the forum but didn't really find my answers to this question

We have a Nuvi 350 (US basemap) and travel quite a bit to Europe (UK, Italy, France). We are wondering:

1. whether there is a difference in the map street level details of Europe complete SD card vs the country France SD card.

Hi everyone,

I'll be in Australia for the next 2 months on business. Can I use the 660 there? If yes, do I need extra maps? Any tips?

Thanks in advance.

I have downloaded about twenty POI in my garmin desktop folder. Is there a away to store them on my 260 instead of keeping them on my computer and use only the ones I want to and not have all the others be on alert when I only want to use two or three?

will have mine by friday!!

woo-hoo....

Hi Folks,

Well, I added my two cents to an article featured in this months issue of Tools Of The Trade Magazine. They tested a lot of the brands of GPS units that people like myself are using in the field and Garmin came out on top followed by Magellan. You can read the article here:

Hello,

I have a Garmin GPS V. It was working. I took the batteries out and put it in a drawer for about six months.
