Garmin talk

Does anyone know if we have a dunkin donuts poi in the US.

How can I get a scroll up/down in POI description to work?. I've try "",# and alt+enter, still not work.

While trying out my brand new nuvi 660 a few days ago, it told me that there is an A&W reataurant in Sedrowoolley, in Washington St. With a bit of surprise that there might be an A&W in that small town, not far from where I was, and because I like A&W, I set out. Curiosity and hunger had me... I was on my way.

I've loaded POI's for truck stops, campgrounds, and low clearances into my nuvi 200. They show up under Extras as separate items for each cvs file (Love's, Flying J, Pilot, low clearances, etc). Regardless of the size of each file, the nuvi only displays 13 pages, 4 to a page, or 52 POI's for each file. They are the nearest 52 as far as I can determine.

Do u guys update ur file for the redlight camera each week it comes out? If so, do u just erase the old one and save the new one or does it automatically overwrite it?

I recently upgraded my c530 to the 2008 maps and had no problem loading them. I put the 48 states on the c530 and Canada and the rest on my SD card. Evrything went well and it works perfectly. My question is this: I used my laptop which has a DVD drive to install the maps and the additional programs, MAP INSTALL and MAPSOURCE. Now my Desktop computer does NOT have a DVD drive.

i seen a lot of forums on dear batteries and how to replace them but what i havent heard of is if the battery is dead and will no longer hold a charge will it work with it plugged in?seems to me that it would

I would like to find out why when I downloaded bestbuy alert it does not alert me when I arrive at bestbuy. I downloaded an icon for bestbuy and that worked fine. Can someone help me out with this one? Thanks.

It seems like there aren't any kudos given to the red light cameras file, and I just wanted to tell a brief success story.

I was driving around and my c550 started beeping at me. Across the top of the screen was a red bar that said something like "warning 1mph".

Seems like it was telling me I was driving over the speed limit in a 1mph zone (the zone was 25 or 30).

Can someone explain this to me?

Thanks

I was going to use Allway Sync which is a great program that provides synchronized updates. ie The file is not updated if there have been no change.

However on my nuvi 750 2303 of the 2475 files have no date. And of course file date/time are one of the criteria used for determining that the files need to be copied. So as a result Allway Sync thinks 2303 files need to be updated.

I am new to GPS and jus purchased a Nuvi 750. Is there hardware available that will enable my 750 to pick up traffive warnings? Thank you, Bmckpro

Has anyone come across a custom POI for gas stations that sell diesel fuel??

Garmin recommends 4gb SD card. I thought of getting an 8gb SD card because i need more space to load all my songs in it.
do u thing it will support?
what about the performance?

when I turn on my unit it starts to load maps then a warning screen pops up - regarding loading info while driving etc - then the need to press the "I agree" button.

Can this be disabled?

I have an original Garmin USB to Mini cable for connecting to the PC. It puts the nuvi in mass storage mode, and I use it for loading POIs and the WebUpdater.

I have a couple of USB to Mini cables that appear the same as Garmin's but are for some other devices. The big noticable difference is the 'filter' or cylinder is missing from these cables.

Still a bit confused.

I have a nuvi650 with 2008 NT maps preloaded - will be getting the 2008 DVD in the mail soon.

1) Is the unlock code that came on the yellow sheet needed to install and run the DVD mapsource program on my computer or is it needed to connect my GPS unit and use it with the mapsource program on my computer?

Hi all,

Did anybody try to create ( and put it back) Nuvi drive image file using Ghost program or other imaging software?

I've searched POIF for this topic but did not find any posts.

1. What is the difference between a .gsx and a .csv file?
2. Why would you use one over the other?

I think the answer to question #1 may answer question #2.
