Garmin talk

This may be a little off basic subject matter but....... it is a GPS.
Has anyone owned and used the Garmin GolfLogix? The reviews have been good but I am interested in the annual fee for downloading different golf courses. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

I was flying to VA last week on my first out-of-state trip with my 200W. Was going to rent a car and use my 200W to get from Dulles to Arlington. So while I was waiting for my plane at ATL I decided to input the address of my destination. I was shocked to find an "F" where the "V" should be on the alpha input screen.

Garmin named Global Leader in GPSR. See link for more info.

I just got a Nuvi 200 a few days ago. It has been working great with a consistent three to four green bars on satellite and no problems at all acquiring. Then last evening about 8pm I left a meeting and drove for nearly 20 minutes and the unit would not acquire satellites at all. It displayed one or two red bars the whole time.

I am looking for opinions on a low price gps. My GF's sister borrowed my sc340 and loved it, I only own it for a few months but I am now the "expert"! I am assuming the Nuvi 200 series is comparable to my 340.

thanks in advance.

I see a lot of folks call the GPS a "GPSr"

I know that 'GPS' stands for --Global Positioning System--.

I would like to ask what the "r" stands for, and why is it in lower-case?

Thanks in advance-

Needing more space for my POIs, I bought a 2gig SD card for my c530. Using POI Loader, I downloaded several POIs through the USB cable to the card in the c530. Everything went OK with a "successfully loaded" message at the end. I see the new files on the SD from explorer. But, when I access "Extras" in the Garmin, it only sees the old POIs that are installed internally.

On my Garmin 360, I've installed a number of custom POIs (Thank you POI Factory!). It is a little annoying that the POIs are not in alphabetical order. Is there an order to how the POIs are listed on my Garmin?

I only have 3 pages of custom POIs, so it's not too bad, but it is annoying.

ok, last week i loaded my custom poi's to my unit no issues, today i went to upload another fet of files the loader went throught the steps, said they are on the unit, but when i go to extras i dont see them, what did a do wrong?

thanks for the help!!

made a trip to Texas, it was great to have the rest area poi set, since we have a 2 yearold and are potty training!... we cannot wait to bring little emma home from China late next year....

Greetings,

When I save a location on my nuvi, the data must be stored somewhere in the nuvi's internal memory and I'd think it will be somewhere in the Garmin subdirectory. I'd like to make sure that I have these backed up to my PC.

When I save the first location to my nuvi, is a new file created? Or is there an existing nuvi file that's modified with the additional info?

Greetings,

I gather that it is important to properly disconnect a nuvi from its PC connection after a POI loading, firmware update, etc.

What I do is go to my PC's "My Computer", right click my "nuvi drive", then click Eject. This makes the nuvi drive disappear in My Computer and turns off the nuvi. Then I unplug the USB cable. This is what I should be doing, right?

I would like to know why and how to load POI files on my 260. When using my gps, what will I have to do to see them on the screen? Do you keep the card in all the time? Do they show up by themself? Boy, do I feel dumb. A nice owners book would have helped! I did figure how to delete and put my own pictures on it.

Is it possible to change the proximity alert for red light cameras to an MP3 on a Nuvi 350? Thanks.

Ok...I am a newbie with our first gps..garmin750. We are fulltime rv'ers. I have downloaded some of the campgrounds in the campground forums but I would like to know if there is a way I can just find all of them on our gps without putting in a specific location? Please excuse me if this is not the correct forum to post this question.

What is kinda cool is to turn off your Garmin and simulate routes to places. If tou pay attention to it you can find Mcdonalds,Kfc locations etc.

I did a search and couldn't find any answers relating to this. I did find the black squares are supposed to be default POI's.

IS it true that nuvi 7 lineup has the limit speed showing for freeways? Anyway, previous model can have this? or any speed limits showing for local too?(which I think is more useful). Thanks,

Any issues with updating the Garmin 350 to firmware version 5.3?
