Garmin talk

Whenever I try to transfer the maps to my unit I get an error message while sending map set "There was an error communicating with your device. Please make sure your device is plugged in and turned on. If error continue to occur, you may need to restart your device."

I have a Garmin 2720 that I have loaded Red light cameras into the Custom POI's only, will I get an audio/visual alert or do I need to make them a Waypoint to get the alert?

Will the Garmin nuvi 250 support POI files?
I uploaded a POI file and it doesn't seem to find the extra POI locations.

Hi all,
I live in ireland and until recently used a street pilot 320 and mapsource Europe V9 and City select N. America maps. When I travelled I saved a map set e.g. California on SD card and used it in the street pilot. Never had any problems.

I am new to GPS... first one today and I have a NUVI 660. WHich type of file do I use... I have seen both CSV and GPX files. WHich ones do I need to use?

Thanks in advance
Dan

Will MSN Direct be expanding their service area? If so when? I live close to a covered city but they don't currently cover my home town.

Hello,

Does anybody know if POI factory files (or any other POI files) can be used with a Garmin GPS 18? I've searched the internet and this forum and have come up empty handed. Thanks!

i just bought a nuvi 650... I did not buy an AC adpater to charge the battery (yet). I have it plugged into my PC via USB. DOes this recharge the battery?

I find my Garmin nuvi 250 very inaccurate when finding geo points.
Is there any way to make it more accurate?

Can I download more english voices for my Garmin nuvi 250 ?

I downloaded Interstate rest areas (*.csv files). When I put them into my C330 (POI loader) will they show up on my route? If not what do I need to do?

Thank You

If anyone is interested, Streetpilot C580 is on sale for $349.99 + S/H until September 24 (

Is there any way to acknowledge the alert on a NUVI 660 of a POI so that it would stop beeping at you?

A lot of of malcontent over at GPSPassion. Folks are not happy at all that Garmin has introduced a new line with little more than software features we have been screaming for in the 6xx series, essentially discarding us who have the 6xx now.

I was thinking MSN has the movie listings on the GPS but that doesn't really help out that much in selecting moview and it is a lot of data to download. How about if they also had the listings from: www.movies.that.dont.suck.com

I fell little uneasy while using default keyboard layout of Garmin (Sequential alphebets). Is there any means to upgrade/modify that into QWERTY layout?

Has anyone tried the MapSource US Topo maps on a nuvi. Curious to know if it can be used as a map supplement and if the topo shows over the road map.

On my StreetPilot 2730, there are three or four ranges of frequencies that are skipped whenever I try to match the FM transmitter to the radio station. For example, if I set my car radio to 104.7 (an open station in my area), and then try to set the FM transmitter to 104.7, it skips from 104.5 to 105.3. Does anyone else have this problem?

I purchased my StreetPilot 2730 in Dec '06, but was disappointed that the maps do not have county borders, unlike MS Streets and Trips. Is this a feature that will be added in later editions?
