POI Alerts and Icons in Nuvi 660

I uploaded my Nuvi 660 with POIs. The POI file containns only longitude, latitude and location name. I uploaded icons and mp3 files as well. When I checked the Custom POI on my Nuvi, the locations were indicated on the map with their icons smile. But, when I'm navigating (driving), my POIs does not appear on the map. Is there a way to view my POIs while navigating?

using waypoints on nuvi 350

hello all! thinking of buying a nuvi 350. reading on garmins web site says it will hold up to 500 waypoints. reading thru the online manual, i see no way to access the waypoints. what i am trying to find out i guess is this, can i do itinerary planning on the 350? can i download itineraries made by others and load them into the 350 and how do you access them?

Dynamic Traffic Content is so cool!

Albuquerque isn't quite up to date with full Traffic functions yet. So I was pleasantly surprised on my trip to Seattle and for the first time got to experience the dynamic content for Traffic from MSN Direct in full.

Garmin Bean Bag Mount location

After reading all the positive remarks over this mount and against my inner feelings that this thing looks pretty ugly I went ahead and ordered one when Dell had the super price of $26 with free shipping.

Deleting additional voices on c340

Reading between the lines of earlier posts, and after communicating with Garmin and getting advice there, it appears that the extra voices I added to my unit cannot be deleted.

I re-installed one of them, hoping an "uninstall" utility would appear, but it didn't.

I wanted to make a bit more room for some poi files, but I do have the two I really wanted: red lights and combined rest areas.

Problem Acquiring Satellite

Yesterday my Garmin 680 was working fine. I set my location, it took me there. I turned it off, got out of the car and transacted my business. When I got back in the care and turned on the GPS it displaced a map of my current location and kept displaying acquiring satellite. As I drove, it kept displaying the original location and continued to show acquiring satellite.

Nüvi Wishlist

It seems that Garmin (FANTASTIC customer support) does read posts in the Factory so I wonder if Miss POI would allow us to use this as a place to post what we would like to see "upgraded" or "changed" by Garmin.

Reverting to chipset version 2.90>>>

Does anyone have an easy way to deep six 3.00 and go back to 2.90...after a week I am less than happy about the alleged upgrade. I had one hang up during recalculation where the machine just froze (never did that before) and it seems my start up times are getting longer.

POI Availability on nuvi 750

I downloaded 1700 POIs to the 750 but only about 50+ can be displayed/selected on the 750. The manual says go to tools settings proximity points but that option does not exist. How can I access all of the POIs?

Currency Converter

Is there an easy way to update the Currancy Converter in the 660?

Variable Mileages

Interesting though strange. I have a c330 and c530 both are great at what they do best. That is guiding you to various locations. In planning a trip from Northern Virginia (I-81 corridor) to Bainbridge Georgia. I put the destination in the 330 and got the mileage and saved the trip. My wife likes to look at a map so I entered both directions into mapsource as waypoints.
