Garmin talk

How does one access the satellite screen on the nuvi 250W. I read through the faq and all the 250 posts but I don't see anything there. I have tried pressing the signal bar but "nothing" This would be useful.

Thanks

Hi ya'll!!! I just got my nuvi650 and I'm very happy with it. I tried downloading .bmp icons for my unit but how come the poi loader keeps saying there's no file in the folder where I put my .bmp download. I followed the instructions on how to donwload it. can somebody show me how to do it step by step?
Thanks!!!

Can anyone tell me what this download does.

Thanks

I haven't noticed a thread on this, but after coming across a site for TomTom was wondering if anybody has come across or interested in developing custom garage icons for Garmin users? I am a big sports fan, and drive a Ford Truck, so it would be great to have my Red Explorer Sports Trac or a Dallas Cowboys type vehicle to use as my custom car icon on my gps...any ideas?

My sons have Tom Tom XL One's and they have a nice feature whereby if you're looking for a particular intersection and maybe are not sure of the cross street, you can enter the main street name and it will list all of the streets that intersect or cross it. Does anybody know if a Garmin model offers that feature?

Thanks

This may not be the right place for this issue but there are a lot of knowledgeable people here, so here goes.

The latest Garmin nüvi update (3.50 for the nüvi 200) enabled the Type G Chipset (SiRFstarIII) update to be loaded. Does this mean that once the Type G Chipset update is installed I cannot, or should not, revert back to a previous firmware version that has the 2D map scale?

I'm wondering if the Type G Chipset update requires the latest firmware version (3.50).

Hello. I'm a newbie so I apologize for this post if the answer is obvious and I'm just not getting it. Then again, maybe the feature I'm looking for doesn't exist.

I have a garmin 260. I stumbled accross a site discussing Geocaching. I thought that looks like fun, but wondered how to use the Nuvi for such a project.

I am looking for the small female connector at the bottom af the cradle. If someone knows where I could order one that would be great.

Very new at this!

I've done a couple of searches and read through some post but this POI thing is still confusing to me. When I open the POI Loader, there is no option for manual or express mode. Can any one help.

Somehow while adding POI's I lost all of my voice files off of my 260. I know that I didn't purposely delete them, and I can't find the voice file anywhere on my computer (not even in the recycle bin). Any ideas other than calling Garmin?

Thanks, Bob

I listen to podcasts on my 660. The process I use is to first copy the podcasts from itunes on to the SD card. Then I use Winamp to create an m3u playlist file. This works well but it takes a long time. Does anyone have a suggestion for how to get podcasts off itunes into playlists in one step? Itunes playlists do not work with Garmin.

Thanks

I am planning to go to Italy this Spring and am interested in recommendations on street maps. I have a Garmin 660. Is it best to buy a product from Garmin or are there other, better and/or less expensive, sources for street maps covering Italy.
I appreciate the help.

Is there a guide somewhere that shows the preferred directory structure? I would like to have additional maps, POI, music and pictures all on the same card.

Hello All,
Is there a SD Memory Card size limitation on the Garmin 650?
I should get my 650 in the mail on Tuesday so I was just wondering before i purchase the memory card.
Thanks

Search didn't really help me much except for POI's.

Is there anyway to create a route using MS Streets&Trips on a PC and then download the route to a 2720? Much like Mapsoure does but S&T does it much better, IMO.

Nuvi 260 -- certain POI files, especially those offering multiple formats for download, cause the POI Loader to complain about "data error in line 1." After loading the GPS shows the headers for those files (I use the directory structure to create categories and subcategories), but no data.

I need some help, if I may. I have a Zune and not an iPod. How do you transfer music to a memory card and convert to mp3?

I downloaded songs onto a disc, then transferred then onto the 1gb memory card. I made a folder called Music. Then I made sub-folders called Music1, Music2, Music3, an Music4.

When I plug the memory card into the 760, it says it is looking for mp3 files.
