Garmin talk

Heard today on a Chicago radio station on the way home from work.

(Man & woman talking)
"This new Garmin GPS is just amazing. All this information right at our fingertips. {etc etc}"

(Voice of Garmin GPS)
"In .5 miles, turn left for Wal-Mart's grand opening on xx road. Save lots of money on {product list}."
"In 200 feet, turn left to save big money on {more products}"

Hey guys, how do I put more than one location in a single .csv file when I create my own POIs through google earth and poi loader? Thanks.

I recently cut out all foreign files in "Help", "Voices", and "Text" in my 260 to clear space and stored them in a file on my pc. Is this ok to do? Thanks.

Anyone know how to use the Garmin Upload feature that is showing on this site: http://www.gps-data-team.com/gps-poi.php

It looks like it is an easier way to save the files directly to the GPS, but when I do it the system always tries to save the file with the same name. I don't even know if it works, so any info that you experts can share would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I have seen this before so sorry to repeat. I don/t seem to have any POIs (either custom or factory installed) shown on the navigation map regardless of the scaling. If I select a particular POI it will show on the "preview" map but none of the others(same catogory in close proximity show. I have a NUVI 760. Any thoughts?

I have a Garmin C330 and it works fine for what I use it for. I work for Home Delivery for Fed Ex. The one thing that annoys me most is this.......when I miss a turn,"She", thats what I call her......will have me go around the block rather than make a U-turn. Sometime a block can be 4 or 5 miles in the country here. I have U-turn enabled in the unit.

Hi,

I am currently looking to buy a preloaded SD card from Garmin fro Europe but I am unable to find any information if they are able to be updated. I've heard in the past they are not able to be updated. I've spent the last 30 minutes searching online to find this info and have came up blank. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

I have enjoyed using the MS program for years, then was faced with the inferior Garmin version. Ugh. I find it much easier to plan trips forcing scenic motorcycle routes with Streets and Trips and generally a bit of a struggle with City Navigator. Sure it has gotten a little easier over time, but it is still not nearly as intuitive.

Are there any updates for the Garmin Nuvi 260? Thanks.

Hi
I just became active and downloaded the red light cam csv (thanks, Ms. POI and all others). My question must be a FAQ, but searching either gave me nada or a many to many posts to check. So with apologies, here goes, and please just point me in the right direction.

can any one tell me if there are any problems with 5.20
i have 4.20

I did a search and i can't find a definitive answer to my question.
My Nuvi came loaded mith software vesion 3.90.
I updated via webupdater to version 4.20, everything went good but I was wondering if there is a way to go completely back to the previous 3.90 version?
Before updating I did download to disc of all the files on my 660 so i do have a copy of the previous files.

I have loaded poi into the 660 with the poi program and it says that it has loaded but when I get into the 660, I can not find the list of poi anywhere.
Please help.

Ciao,

Hi again: This has been a real help to me in learning mu new Nuvi 250W. Question is, when i am hooked up to my computer i cant operate my Nuvi. Is this normal or is there a way to make it work when plugged in to my PC. Please help if you can. Thankyou. Until next time.

My Nuvi 680 quit working would not get a signal so I took it back to Best Buy today and they gave me a brand new one still in the box.......this is the second new one I got in less then a year....I bought the 4 year extra warranty and I sure am glad I did....has anyone else had the same problem? I sure love Best Buy

I had this setup working just fine. Now for some unknown reason the audible alert has stopped functioning. Here are the details. Please let me know what I am missing....
>>Garmin nuvi 350
>>Using Garmin POI loader version 2.4.2
When loading POI's I select the default 'express' mode.

I am storing all my POI files in a folder called "POI's"

I have recently bought a Nuvi-660. One of the sale-points for me... was the supposed Blue Tooth capabilities. I have a phone w/o Blue Tooth, but was able to purchase a Blue Tooth Adapter for it (some time ago, now) made by Cardo {(the Cardo BTA II)[that's BTA-2]} This adapter plugs right into the headphone-jack on my cell-phone.

when I am traveling with my GPS on, it wont show that I have crossed a street until I am about 2 seconds past it in real time. In other words, I will be well past the intersection when it shows on the GPS that I am crossing it. Is there anything I can do to help this? Should I be concerned, or is it pretty normal? Thanks for the help.

I know this is more of a computer issue than GPS but, thought I'd ask.

When I hook up my Nuvi 660 to my computer with the USB, Adobe Photoshop Album program runs automatically and looks for files on the Nuvi. How do I disassociate that program from my GPS?
