Garmin talk

Has anyone had a power cord failure. My cord just stopped working and the cigarette plug end started to get very hot. I checked the fuse and it is still good but no power is coming to the cradle end.

Garmin has ordered me a new - Gotta love Garmin customer service!

I AM A MEATHEAD. I INSTALLED THE POI LOADER AND SPENT HOURS LOOKING FOR THE NEW POI'S.

I have Delorme map software and can pull up coordinates for locations. When I trid to make a poi it was 19 miles off. New to all this tried searching found confusing stuff. I'm sure its something simple any help thanks in advance.

I have the lastest POI software along with my Garmin 680. Has anyone had this problem?

Does anyone know how or where to get different voices for the Nuvi?

I emailed support for a free software dvd,Matt B (Product Support Specialist)emailed back to tell me he/she will send out it to me for free!I will wait.Perfect!

I just purchased a nuvi 660 and would like to know if I have to load Audible Books and MP3 files through a direct connection between the Nuvi and the computer or can I just load the files on the SD card directly from the computer?

I need help with the gStart function. I have a Nuvi 660 and downloaded the red light cameras last spring, but I have never been able to use the gStart feature from my desktop. I have searched the Garmin site without any luck. I always get a warning that there is NO GPS connected to the desktop. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks

Hello All
First Post, Newbie, Nuvi250

When I add new POI's using Loader V 2.4.20, the software congratulates me on loading xxxx poi's succsesfully.

When I look on my Nuvi they are nowhere to be found.

What am I missing here??

TIA for any help.

ALERT: Circuit City will seems to "filter" the less than positive comments left about the new 7xx series Garmin. Beware. Amazon on the other hand does post the less than positive comments.

In order to create a POI of a ABC restaurant,

step
1. Dirve my car to ABC restaurant, then save the location to my Favorites on my GPS

2. export my favorities to excel in CSV format to get
coordinates.

3. then correct information of ABC rest. on excel

4. then use POI loader load back to GPS

are these correct step to create my own POI

Could someone teach me,

I just ordered another C340 they are on sale at Walmart.com for $234.00! I can't believe how cheap they are getting. I also ordered the dash mount on there for 29.00 each.

I have Sony Errs. P900 and a Garmin Street P C550
It's hard for me to connect two of them. Both devices can detect each other, however, when i try to make a phone call, it changes to "Disconnect".

Is there anyway i can correct it?

Hi everyone, I am new to GPS POI. I jsut bought Garmin StreetP C550 yesterday. I just want to ask can I setup my own POI and use POI loader upload to my GPS?

For example,

I want to creat a POI list of restaurants which i often go. I know the function "Favorites" can do that too, but it can't be organized by catolog.

Is there anyway, that i can create my owe POI?

I just bought a Nuvi 360 for $349.99 including shipping at Newegg.com. It is good deal for anyone who need like small including bluetooth.

I'm new to this so I apologize for asking such a basic question. How do I convert Excel .csv file to Garmin Data Base, .gdb, files?

Many thanks,

Mike

The choice of mounts is limited for my c340, and now that I'm going to be moving it between my car and my wife's, I wanted something a little easier to handle than the stock suction cup mount. So, after doing some research, I settled on the Gramin Friction Dash Mount (model #010-10613-00).

OK--I'm a nubi, but this should be simple..

I loaded GPX and CSV custom POI files ( from POI factory) onto my Nuvi 650
w/ POI loader.

It finished and said I had loaded 2987 POI's

When I look at Where to,Extras, the custom POI screen appears and the little
circle goes round & round ----then nothing ??

What did I do wrong or how can I tell if they are there....the file was put

Hello and thank you in advance for the help. I have a Garmin 660 and I would like to add some POI files with phone numbers. My Bluetooth will not upload my contacts from my phone so my only option is to load POI's with phone #'s. However I don't seem to have the correct format.

Hi,

Just joined this list and I'm blown away by all the POI's you can add to this unit.
One question tho, is it possible to remove any unwanted files from my garmin that I know I will not be using such as languages? This would free up some room in my unit for more POI's. I've attempted to do so but have not found a way to do this. Comments???

Thanks in advance,

Garry
