Garmin talk

I just purchased my 350 last week. I love it.

I had to travel to the east coast for business so I packed it with me for the trip. Once I got my rental car, I plugged it in and away I went. I noticed that I had to set the time zone to reflect EST.

this is sort of a info and (learning for me) What i found on the C530 (all c5X??) when you view the GHPS drive, I find the following.. (I hope someone can fill in the blanks for me...)

Folder are:
GPS --> Empty now (For GPS POI files??)
POI --> *.GPI (Custom POI files)
SCRN --> Empty now (for screen shots??)
RemoteSN --> *.GCd (I have no idea)

Hi there. I'm new to this thing. I was wondering how do you use these POI files? What's the difference between .csv files and .gpx files? How do I go about uploading and using them?

Just purchased a C 530 2 weeks ago. It has not been dropped or abused, but suddenly it will not turn on. Any suggestions before sending it back Garmin?

Does anybody have a POI Listing of the Deals Dollar Store locations US. Can anybody tell me how to create it?

Does any one know a source where Mapsource SD cards could be rented?

Hi,
Does anyone know what the additional POI capacity is on the Garmin I5 model? It comes preloaded with over 6 million POI and I have already added 29,596 POI from this site. I tried to add the Lakes.USA file to it and it said that there wasn't enough room left for this file to be added.
Thanks

I just purchased the Garmin Nuvi 360 and noticed the unit says street names ending in "a" as a silent "a".

For example "Marmora Av." sounds like "Marmor Av."

Has anyone else noticed this?

how do i find out what version of City Navigator N. America i have on my newly acquired nuvi 350. Thanks, great site by the way.

I have a C330 and have seen various discussions on how many custom POI's it can hold. I seen 2MB and Garmin replied to my email query with 3MB. I was wondering how many POI's this equates to. Also, how many do you have loaded into your units? I have 15,918 (so far).

Thanks,

Does any know whether Garmin is planning on making a marine/lake maps with contours and depths for the 350?

Thanks,

this garmin navigator is available for 384$ only.this is new brand and 1 of the easiest and best to use.

I just noticed my icons for Home and other Favorites just reset back to black circles...

I don't know how or exactly when this happened. I even manually selected the icon and when I power off/on, they reset back to circles.

Garmin just recently wrote me back about the Time Update for the c340. Here is their response.

Hello Orbital,

Thank you for contacting Garmin International!

I'll be happy to help you with this. The software update to correct this problem is in the works and should be out soon. We currently do not have an exact date.

Best Regards,

Thomas Lister

OK, I think I figured out what my next unit is going to be. Problem is I can only find it online. Does anyone know of a national chain I could find the Quest? I don;t think it's discontinued. any input from anyone regarding this model? Tahnks

I just received my City Navigator Europe SD card today! YEAH!

But... how the heck do I use it HERE (in USA)?

I have a nuvi 350.

I went into the settings > map info and disabled the North America maps. I tried setting my "home" to Munich, Germany. But, the device still shows my current location here in the USA.

How does one add a proximity alert?

I currently own (and enjoy) my c330. I have come into some extra cash and was thinking about upgrading to the 550. I would, however, need to sell my 330 to do so.

Question: Is the 550 worth the extra $$$? I like the though of being able to use the BT with the cell phone... but is anything else with the 550 make it much better?

Thanks,
Jack
