Garmin talk

Anyone know of a recent casino poi for Garmin? Las Vegas has had a huge number of casinos open as well as close over the past 18 months, and I could really use a current POI.

My custom poi are work great, but I thought if you got an alert for a POI, you can touch the alert and be taken there. Nothing happens by doing that.

I have Shell gas station on my route, and one is alerted nearby, I would like to just touch the icon or alert banner and ask to go there as a via point

anyone....

I Have a Nuvi 260, I have a jpeg in the pic viewer and I can't get rid of it, When it's hooked up to the computer I can't see it in the garmin/jpeg file, but I see on the pic viewer on the nuvi, can anyone help!!

I have been traveling the past week and one of our overnight stops was Williams, AZ. The GPS (Nuvi 750) could locate the hotel along the route, but it could not locate Williams, AZ when I selected to search near a location. It could locate all the businesses in the area with the Williams, AZ address. It could locate cities with the name of Williams in several other states, but not Arizona.

Recently Garmin tech support agreed to send MapSource and gave a confirmation number. They were temporarily out of the program. Has anyone found a link on Garmin's site to check order status? I didn't see one. It may be since I didn't order via the web there won't be one but thought I'd ask.

In comparing Garmin nuvis on their website, I noticed that the small screen models have an antiglare coating on their screens and the widescreens do not. You would think that antiglare which is useful on small screens would be even more useful on wide screens. Is glare a problem for those of you who own widescreen models?

Well I just picked up a Trail Guide for my Jeep. It hasn't come in yet, but I was just curious if there were any fellow Trail Guide (Quest 2) users out there. Basically it's just a re-badged Quest 2 unit, different color.

I was wondering what people liked about the Quest 2, what they didn't like. Any tips/tricks to get the most out of my unit?

anyway,

If I add some new custom POI files and upload them to my Garmin, is it true I have to re-enter all the information for all the files in the same directory AGAIN.

I have 5 csv fileS, and it ask me again every time for the alert setting and mile FEER for alert FOR EACH.

yipes...

IS THERE A WAY TO SET THE DEFAULT ALERT FEET TO 5280=1 MILE

I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me if they got any software disks with their Nuvi 660. I did not get mine at a retail store, and no software came with it. I was wondering if there is something I am missing. Thanks.

After 20 years I have my first problem with a Garmin GPS. Yesterday we drove to Tampa (175 miles) and the traffic rx worked on the way up, coming home it never picked up a signal. I checked the traffic icon under system, and it said that I did not have a valid subscription. Click on the OK and the screen comes up that says I have a subscription thru Nov 31, 2008.

I use the Bluetooth feature on my C550 and was wondering if there is a way to create phone number shortcuts on the Garmin, similar to the "Call Home" shortcut. Is this possible. Does anyone know of a way to access the keyboard shortcuts already programmed into the phone?

Reverie

I have a c330 and now I am being given a c550. I like the batteries in them they last 4 hrs or batter. But I drive a Bus all over the southwest. I am sorry to say this for we have all very good and newer buses but some of the plugs do not work. I looked on the net and found and called Lenmar Batteries. They said that I need the Lenmar 2100 Bkit.

I called Garmin today, and asked them if POI loader worked on Vista, and they said it did.

BS, it freeze in the first screen.

anyone know what to do.
thanks

i noticed there seem to be a decent number of people here from the dc area.
anyway i was wondering if anyone here has experienced what i had-- i was coming from oxon hill/ft washington to get home (germantown, md) and for some reason my nuvi takes a loooong time to find a satellite reception. its not until i get onto the highway that i can get one.

I don't know if this has been discussed
but there is a C5XX update but I could not update my gps with webupdater I had to go to http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=1515 to download

Changes made from version 6.10 to 6.20:

Corrected an issue where Retail Map Update fails to install

hey fellas. hello from montgomery county maryland!

garmin nuvi 660 owner.. i was wondering, is our traffic receiver onl compatible with one company that is associated with garmin? is it possible that that can be connected to something else.. maybe lesser price (i know im a cheap head).. or free?? (yep!)

I was just looking at my 660 and the WAAS/EGNOS was set to off. how od the rest of you have yours set. Not sure what the diffenece is with out taking a trip some where.

ok,

one question, i have placed all of my poi's in a main folder, then broke them down into sub-folders, now if i remeber right for each sub-folder i need the poi file an icon and alert if i want it to alert.
