Garmin talk

I have a Garmin c340. Does the beanbag mounting gizmo by Garmin really work? I read somewhere that it won't work until you buy another gizmo. Anybody has experience with it? I don't want to waste >$30.oo for some useless thing. Can someone point me to a cheaper source?

I reported 6 issues with missing roads, wrong locations of POI, etc in my area back in Dec. 2006. How long does it take before you hear back from them about some kind of resolution. I check on the issues from time to time and it still says they are "open". Has anyone reported a problem with some kind of reply? How long does it usually take?

Since this question wasn't answered, here it is again:

One more question regarding the preloaded maps, since all I know is the c320 with the maps loaded onto an SD card. When updated maps come out and I update them on the nuvi do they get overwritten on the internal memory, or will it not allow that and I would then need to put them on an SD card?

i have a garmin legend and a friend told me about a great application that makes the gps a range finder on the golf course. i contacted GOLFLOGIX and asked if i could download the softwear and the quickly said no,, i have not tried it yet but was wounder if anyone has,,, thank you

I'm relatively new to GPS with a 2-month old Nuvi 680.

Is it possible to "mark" a location once you have arrived to a destination that you did not you the GPS to get to?

I have a Garmin 330. I found this site thru garmin and was wondering how many of these POI's can i actually download before my Garmin is full? Is there a size limit to this thing? Am i damaging it any way by adding these? Does it slow down the preformance of the GPS? These are some of my questions i would like to know the answers to before i start downloading like crazy!

I loaded some custom POI's and everything seems to be good except the distance to at least some(haven't checked all) of the places seems to be wrong. One in particular shows 130 miles away but the maps show it 190 miles. I've Looked at both and they are the same place (Jacksonville AR and Baxter MO). Anybody have any such problems or suggestions what may be my problem?

Changes made from version 6.12.3 to 6.12.4:

Fixed an issue detecting some Garmin mass storage devices.
Fixed an issue at application startup when the expected code pages are not installed on the PC.
Fixed a layout issue in the Czech language waypoint dialog.

I want to know how I can EDIT the pre-loaded POI's/Waypoints. I have found some that are incorrect and want to edit, such as names, telephone, etc. I have a 2720 and have contacted Garmin on this, and they say it is not possible and that I will have to purchase version 9.0 Mapsource when released.

If you're new to the world of GPS receivers, and want to learn the basics go to Garmin's GPS Academy where you can get acquainted with what a GPS receiver is, and what it can do for you. Even comes with a "Miss GPS" as the teacher.... ;)

Hi,
im a part time trucker using Garmin Nuvi 360. The issue with Gps as im presuming you already know is that it doesnt route you difrently beside choosing vehicle as truck rather then car etc.
I was wondering if there is a POI files that will deliver No Trcuk Zones for Usaand Canada?

I would appreciate any help

There is an update to version 3.70. Seems to be some minor changes. May or may not be worth it to some.

POI Loader Ver. 2.4.1 as of Apr 25, 2007 is available on Garmin site if you still did not get it.

Does anyone have a trick on getting the Suction Cup for the 660. It is getting hot here in ATL and my suction cup keeps falling off the windshield. How can I stop this from happening?

Thanks for the help.

Recently my Garmin nuvi 350 is stuck on "Acquiring Satelites" for a long, long time... Sometimes even 1/2 hour or more.

I'm running the latest (4.60) software version on the device.

I did the following things to try to solve the problem:

• Power Cycle (still no satelites)
• Reset (still no satelites)
• Cleanup (still no satelites)
  

Ok is another in Italian site, but contains all the useful tools, icon, SRF<->PNG converting, vehicles, voices

bye.

Is it possible to download a USGS chart, install it on the Garmin 270 and enable GPS tracking on it. If so, please direct me to software etc. that provides this capability with plain language directions. Thanks.

Hello i have a nuvi 660 i am new to this sport
my question is
can i put More then one different poi files in the nuvi ?
or i have to remove the old one

thanks

Hi everyone. I'm planning on upgrading my c320 due mainly to the fact of the whole storing of POI's only on it's internal memory. Just to make sure I've got this right, the nuvi 350 does allow storing them on the SD card, right? Also if you have a nuvi 350, how do you like it? Thanks.
