Garmin talk

I'm new to the PND world, have used Telenav on Blackberries (loved it), but had to have the iPhone -- which only has google maps (and currently backlevel too).

Took advantage of some holiday sales and picked up a 660 from Tigergps. Love it ..

Nuvi650

How does the nuvi play mp3s?

1) Does it do it alphabetically according to the file name itself? And, if so, would "01 anybody seen my baby.mp3" play before "anybody seen my baby.mp3"

2) Or, does is go by the mp3's tag information? And, if so, would the title play like above, or can you change the track number in the tag information to designate the order of play?

thanks

I am a fairly new owner of a Garmin 760 I received for Christmas. This forum has been great for me to learn how to add POI files and help me utilize my GPSr more effectively.

I am planning a trip to the Northeast and have d/l the POI's for lighthouses and covered bridges in the areas we plan on going, They loaded on the GPS great, but for planning a route I would like to see them on Mapsource on my computer. Is this possible and if it is possible how can it be accomplished?

I have new Garmin 760 and just used the POI Loader to add a custom POI from this site to internal memory. The process went smoothly and I can see the data on my 760 under Where To/Extras/Custom POIs but I want to set proximity alerts but I don't see "Proximity Points" in Tools/Settings. Any advice? Thanks.

I just downloaded and installed garmin POI Loader 2.42 and all I get when I open (run) it is the splash screen. Has this happened to anyone else? I tried re-downloading it but same result. I tried with zumo 550 plugged in and not. ???

Hello all...new owner of a Nuvi 200 here with a simple question. I've been using GPS's since waaaayyyy back (started with a GPS12 and have 4 Garmin products in all) and I'm accustomed to most features, but I can't find out how to do something on the 200 that my simple eTrex does quite well.

I am new to this, but, I downloaded a file on my Nuvi 350 and it went to My Locations, Custom POI's. Can I send these downloads to a different place. For instance, if I download golf courses, can I send it to golf courses. If I download Disney World, can I send it to attractions?

I just got a Nuvi 200 for Christmas and I really like it. The only complaint that I have is the terrible documentation. Today, I accidentally touched something and got a screen that enabled me to put in my Home address. I have no idea what I touched, nor how to get back to that screen. I have searched every screen that I know of. I think that there must be a lot of undocumented capabilities.

You say you want voice recognition? Cruise over to www.gpslodge.com and check out the latest from Garmin. This now rivals my on-board Honda system!

Does anybody know what coordinate system the nuvi 360 is set for?

Anybody have any suggestions for doing cord "housekeeping"?

i need to get help on how to use my screenshot

Does anyone know if there is a way to add different formats on a Garmin Nuvi? I have a Nuvi 370 and would like to be able to use MGRS format. All mine allows now is Lat/Long and British National Grid. All of my other Garmin products with the exception of the nuvi have let me use MGRS. Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this?

Garmin just released the news on the enhanced MSN Direct v2 http://www8.garmin.com/ces/nuvi780/index.html

Hello-I just purchased the garmin 680 and would like load red light cameras and speed traps--read info on the POI loader from garmin and set a folder up for the POI's---heres my question ; I have two different POIS -if I was two load both would the unit show the total of the two combined(assuming many would be duplicates on the two POIs)-thanks solutionworks

Hi, Can you install ALL the new maps on the SD card? I wonder if you could. They say that you will have to put the 48 states in the unit and then put Canada and the Provinces on the SD card. What would happen if you just put everything on the SD card?
