Simple question, can a Nuvi be charged from a computer's USB?

Thanks

Greetings,

I am looking for information on editing the builtin POI Database on my Garmin c340.

I know you can upload your own POI's but that isn't what I am looking to do.

What I want is to maintain my own database of POI's. I want to update it as new restaruants, stores open. I want to delete POI's from the 6 million that are of no interst to me.

I found a soft-sided electronics case last night at Cabela's that a 200W fit inside perfectly...

Probably for a PDA, but it works. It cost right around $10.

The code inside the case is PC3610-048-005 "Digital Assistant"...not sure if that is the item number or not...found it in the camping section.

I cannot get the 'Weather Advisory Warning' icon (Cloud w/ 3 lightning bolts) that is present on the map screen just below the + sign on the right side of the display to go away. I have a good MSN Direct reception 99% of the time. When I touch the icon, it says 'no data found' and when I exit that screen, the icon stays visible??? I've tried reseting my Nuvi 680 but the icon still is present?

Is it possible to get a nuvi 260 to display the exit numbers on the interstate as you approach them instead of just showing the names of the streets that intersect with the interstate at the exit ramps?

i have nuvi 200. the problem i'm having is i can't get a satelite signal and i keep gettin a screen saying up dating firmware. after the update it still doesn't get a signal. i have the 3.60ver does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Im still with this issue. Can someone tell me how to activate the male voice in the Garmin Nuvi 200. It only let me change it to another language. It doesn't have an option for male or female. Help Please

I just got mine today, and installed. I thought I could chart custom routes and feed it to the unit.
But all it does is save favorites?
What can the mapsource used for?

Is there any issues deleting files that don't really have any use to me? I'm talking like (text and speech) language files and that sort of thing?

These units come almost completely full of files, not much room to do anything with.

Thanks

I have made a redlight file and was able to up loaded with the loader,I turn it on and it's in the alert file then I turn it on later and it's missing...HELP!!!There is no alert or warning when driving.

HI
I brought GARMIN 660 recently it has a default option
WAAS/EGNOS = off. can some one let me know what is this option ? do we need to turn it on in order to function 660 to work effectely

On Garmin Nuvi 650: I recently used the software from Garmin - POI Loader and added some POI files that started as CSVs on my computer. In the directory with the CSV, I placed a BMP with the same name. When viewing the map on the Nuvi, at the POI location, there seemed to be two icons competing for the space. A dot, like when there is a POI, and the icon I uploaded with the POI file.

I will be taking a trip to Hawaii in a few months and was wondering if anyone has used their GPS on the islands. The Garmin website shows that the coverage map for City Navigator NT (North America) is "provided using unverified government data". I was wondering if anyone has experienced any problems there. Thanks and have a Merry Christmas.

Has anyone else had any problems with the nuvi 760?

Does anyone notice that if you have a POI for example the outlet. Then you want to see the nearest outlet on your current location. if you try to select the nearest one base from the miles that the garmin list on the right most column and try to add the total directions. I noticed that they are off.

Hi fellow gpsers:

I was not looking today and of course I found it. If you are looking for a carrying case that is about 10.00 I found one at walmart in the camera section.
cicon VIN25-Blk.Cheaper than the 30.00 Garmin wants for
the case.

I thought this would help out people in the group who
have the unit and christmas shoppers looking like I did for an economical case

I have a nuvi 200, how can I review a route or force a recalculation if I don't like the route it picked?

How do you do a hard reset on a nuvi 200w?

also,
the reset button on the bottom back near the serial # does nothing. what gives here?

I am looking to add icons like starbucks so when I see my map while I drive I will actually see the starbucks icon when I approach it....how can i do this? and will it work on the garmin nuvi 200??? help

Just had an issue with my 660 and the speaker so I went to Best Buy and got a replacement. Got the 760 and from the first 30 minutes of use, I really like it. The screen during the day time is much easier to see than the 660. I have seen the comments that the screens were the same but this screen seems much brighter and more clear than the 660 under similar settings/conditions.
