Base Map Removal Nuvi 760

G'day
To all from downunder this will be my first posting if it is out of place please let me know
I have been using a 60csx for sometime now and cant think of a better unit to have as a hand held GPS but when it comes to in car navigation it just is to small and hard to see while driving.

How To Load An SD-Card?

I have a blank SD-Card (no info loaded onto it, yet) to go with my Nuvi-660. I see the slot in the Nuvi to receive the SD-Card, but my computer has no such slot that I've seen. What am I supposed to do here???

1) How do I load stuff (POI's, Updates, or what-ever I need) onto an SD-Card, for use in the Nuvi?

What City am I in?

Does anyone know if there is a way to determine what city you are in? I have a nuvi 760. I've tried the "Where Am I" and it does not. If I tap the screen while in 3D mode I get a flat map which shows sometimes a dot and city name, but doesn't have city boundaries and is not clear when driving.

Thanks.

Garmin 2.6 for 700 series

Garmin just came out with the 2.6 firmware for the 7xx. It has quickfix II. What exactly does quickfix II do?

Since the c330 doesn't show up as storage..

Since you can't "see" the c330 from your computer, how do you know how much storage space is available on the unit?

Since it will only store POI's there as opposed to its SD card, space is really important.

Posting "POI'S"

Would anyone confirm, once your poi's have been downloaded onto your unit (nu vi 750),for them to show up on your view map screen,would you have to select it from your "Point of Interest" file on your unit.

Amazon Gold Box Deal - Nuvi 660 for $350

Today's (Jan 30, 08) gold box deal at Amazon is the Nuvi 660 for $350.

Being that I paid $370 for my 350 last year, I am thinking that is a pretty good deal. For a few more hours EST.

Road Missing

Who do I notify if I find a road that my Garmin does not recognize?
My GPS keeps trying to get me to go to work another way. There is only one way in. The road that's not on the GPS.

Garmin GVN-53

I've tried loading some POI's into my Garmin GVN-53. When insert the SD card into the Black Box it asked me if I want to load new POI's. I say "yes" and it seems to load the POI's normally. The POI's are even listed in the POI data base of the Garmin but when I try to use one of the POI's in the "Go To" list it causes the GVN-53 to reboot and start from the begining.

How many KB is SD data card, City Navigator NT, Europe

Does anyone know how many MB or KB the actual file is on the microSD/SD data card, City Navigator NT, Europe?

My dilema: I have a Nuvi 350 (US) and all my music is on my current SD card. Can I combine the two SD cards or is it protected? Can the Europe Map be directly added to the Nuvi? Is there enough room?

Nuvi 650 changes route on return.

I get there without a problem, but for some reason the unit wants to change to a longer route coming back. Why would it change routes between the same two points?

Too Many Alerts for POIs!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put the rest area poi on my Nuvi 350. I used poi loader in manual mode and set the distance to alert at 2 miles. At every point, the Nuvi alerts me with an mp3 I created at 2 miles away. Outstanding, right?

POI Alerts

I recently downloaded the Rest Areas Combined POI into my Nuvi 350, but it doesn't alert me when approaching a rest area. I checked my settings and Custom POIs is checked, but I'm not getting alerted. What am I doing wrong?

Proximity alerts have no distance

I have made a poi .csv file for wachovia atms that I used Garmin poi loader on. I want the alarm to notify you .25 miles before you get to the ATM. But, when I test it, I have to pull in to the branch parking lot and drive very close to the ATM before I get the alert. No matter what I do, it does the same thing. The entries in the file are like:

Will NUVI 350 work with WINDOWS 98?

My regular computer (using WINDOWS XP) is in the shop and I tried to connect my nuvi 350 to my old computer using WINDOWS 98).

Neither WINDOWS explorer or POI loader would recognize the GARMIN.

I had no problems before with my WINDOWS XP computer.

Any suggestions?
