When was the last software update for the 360's released?

Has anyone figured out how to boost the volume of the Garmin sound files? Even at 100% they just aren't loud enough although my recorded MP3's are plenty loud (not that I usually listen to MP3's on the little tinny speaker.)

Thanks

Below are 3 tests that I ran on the nuvi 750 to better understand quotes, commas and line breaks. The CSV file is shown followed by the resulting single line and full display on the nuvi 750. The results may vary on other nuvi’s due to screen size and other factors.

Test 1

-117.22316,32.7257,Holiday Inn San Diego Located by the Water,"4875 N Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA, 92106"

Can someone fill me in on where the phone number goes within the format of a .gpx file?

I have sort of figured out how to create POI files on my PC and then inport or install them on my Zumo.
I would like to have mapsource be able to utilize these POI's but can't figure out how to get mapsource to utilize them.
I can make mapsource create POI's but can't figure out how to make it use POI's it did not create.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi i recently got a garmin 650 , am headed to hawaii in april and want to take my gps with me, I am wondering if it has the maps of oahu, or do i have to down load from garmin site thank you

Hi
Could anyone please help me.
I have downloaded ximage, however the program (ximage)will not find my nuvi. All other programs are Ok, and the system locates the nuvi automatically etc, but not ximage.
I am using vista and wonder if this has anything to do with it.
Cheers, Rod

I press the on/off switch, nothing happen, I lost the regristration code and did not regrister in Garmin's wed site. I need this information to convenance the Garmin Support person that my GPS is less than 1 year old.

Any Dunkin Donuts POI in NY?

The favorites list is sorted by distance on my 260. Can this be arranged in alphabetical order instead?

The other day I was looking at my trip stats and noticed that my max speed was 147 mph. My GPS has only been in a Suburban and a hearse. Neither of which can go anywhere near that fast! I wonder why.

I`ll try to keep this short. Sorry no link. Check out consumer reports, cars, more cars, gps. They have a description of a NUVI 5000 coming out soon aimed at us. Interesting. Just wanted to pass it on. Be safe. God Bless.

My Streetpilot C340 GPS is one month old. Today I used it for few hours without connected to charging device. Now it won't charge. Screen has no power even if I switch it on. I tried charging through USB and car lighter charger. But no success. Does anybody have any idea.

I am new to GPS, just got a Gramin 650 few months ago. When I set my GPS to TTS mode, it always say "Take left or right onto I-xxx East" for every freeway entrance in here. When I change to Non TTS mode, it know the freeway entrance is on left or right, for the same freeway entrance. Does the more expense GPS has this problem?

I was just browsing through the Garmin Website, and I just noticed a link that I had never seen before

I was wondering what u guys prefer when u use your gps unit in your vehicles. Do u guys have it connected to the power supply when in use or do u guys charge it and then use it without the cord until the battery runs low? Any benefits for whichever choice?

I often browse though the list of POI’s I see in this and other sites and feel compelled to download ones I’m interested in but don’t (At least not large numbers of files). The reason is that I don’t want to load POI’s that may all ready be in the unit’s data base. Although some are intuitive, like the great law enforcement cameras POI files, not to be in the unit, others are not.

I want to know if there is a way to change a name of a poi? For example I downloaded Walmart yesterday and when I simulated my garmin 350 "Jill" announced I arrived at a address # instead of Walmart. Can someone help me out with this one. Thanks.

I had a Magellan Maestro for about 3 days and one of the things that I liked about it was the ability to look at the route it had calculated and give the option of excluding a specific road. I read a comment on another forum that seemed to say that this functionality was also on the 7xx series. Is this true?

Also, Has the latest firmware fixed the long satellite acquisition times?

For last few weeks, have noticed that when the unit is turned on, it takes often 5minutes or longer before it gets a sat signal. This is in wide open country, not blocked by buildings. Any thoughts?
Thanks
