Garmin talk

I just bought the Garmin C340. Downloaded all of the updated data from the Garmin website to my C340. (Yes, all of it....even all the different voice language updates. Maybe this was a boo boo) Then I went and started using the POI loader and started uploading POI's.

I got through about five of them, using some I found at another website...

I just purchased and loaded the Travel guide. Fodors North America appears under extras. However when I select it "No Data Found appears" It worked fine until I updated to Software Ver. 3.2.

Any ideas?

Hello everybody,
I've been driving with my c550 and noticed that there is Erskine st exit off belt pkwy in Brooklyn, NY, and it's not even on the map, the exit is relatively new, but it's been about 2-3 yrs, there is a huge mall with Circuit City, Target, Babies'r'US, etc, and it's not on garmin's map.

I never got the e-mail they usually send out, but I discovered this by accident. I am currently downloading the most recent release of Mapsource (not the beta).

The beta versions history shows that they are working on improving Mapsources ability to work with POI's, which is good news. But they seem to move slowly, which is bad news.

Here are a few of the bullet points:

When I open it on my laptop the little triangle indicating present position is located somewhere near the Canary Islands - I want to use it in simulated mode to plan routes for my C340. Is there a way to have it open on my defined home location - it always offers to let me simulate the drive from mid-ocean to Dublin, Ohio but that really isn't helpful!

Anyone know how to convert construction information and/or poi's from microsoft Streets and Trips to a garmin nuvi 350?

Has anyone tested what happens with these settings? I have not noticed a difference.

Navigation -> Vehicle

I am guessing that Truck and Bus have routes around low overpasses, and parkways, but what do Pedestrian, Bicycle, Emergency and Taxi do?

Voice Prompts -> Guidance Only versus Guidance/Status

I have not noticed a difference among the two.

Map -> Map Outlines On/Off

Santa's Sleigh is also still there if anyone missed it. The kids loved this while searching for Christmas lights.

I just upgraded from v3.30 to v3.40 to take advantage of the increase volume. Well, now I cannot dial-out from my 360 using Bluetooth (not sure about incoming calls, haven't gotten one yet).

I to got the map source CD free after complaining to Garmin that they shouldn't charge after you purchased a GPS. Now I would like to generate a map and upload it but understand that I will loose the Marine Point Basemap that is part of the original software on my etrex legend but not if I just add waypoints.

Would anyone who is familer with the c530 know if downloading poi's is possible?? I've tried and i'm sure if it is working.....

Does anyone know if there is a way to keep the city your in online while just changing the address? I work insurance and if I am in one city, I will be going to maybe 15 different addresses but in that same city. While it helps you to remember the spelling of the city, it gets real old real fast. Can we keep the city on top and just change the address? The state seems to stay on top all the time.

Hello, I looked but didn't see this discussed, but may have missed it.

Does anyone know the amount of POI storage in the 2720 out of the box (i.e., without buying extra cards or anything)?

I ordered mine but haven't received it yet, and this may be in the manual, but I just didn't want to wait.

Thanks
Rick

Just purchased a 360 - should arrive any day. Plan to use SD slot for MP3 files - question, is there any limit on the size of the SD card? I'd like to spring for a 4GB card but this site indicates a 1GB limit

http://gpsinformation.info/nuvi360/nuvi%20360.html

This is the first I have read about a limit. (I did a search here but did not turn up anything) Anyone using a 2 or 4GB card?

The Garmin Web Updater & POI Loader seem to work fine and dandy under Windows Vista.

yes, I have a new computer...

I have the Garmin 530 and I would like to know if there is a storage limit for POIs

Is there a difference in the base maps of the Nuvi 360 and Nuvi 660. I own both and can't tell the difference in the maps on the unit, but Garmin shows this on their site:

Nuvi 360:
Americas Lite Routable

Nuvi 660:
Preloaded City Navigator® NT North America(full coverage)

I stumbled upon this one. By pressing in the bar status for about 4-6 seconds a "foot accuracy" window appears. I believe showing the global satellite positions ? Any answers to this ?

Hello

Hi all;

I requested a copy of Mapsource from Garmin tech support. They did not give me any hassle and sent it for free.

Now that I have Mapsource, I created a route with 2 way points. I sent this to my nuvi via the "send to device." I also saved the route in a .gpx file, and copied this to the SD card.

I went to the nuvi to lookup the route. No luck. The way points showed up in the "favorites", but no routes? In addition, I can't seem to access the SD card except for MP3's.
