Do I have to select or enable the Red Light POIs GPS unit each time I use it? or is there a setting I can use to make it default? Is there a way I can integrate the POI’s, so it will warn me while I am on my current route? Also, can I change the alerts for this feature to give it a specific sound?

Thanks for all of your help.

Does anyone know how many factory installed POI's for Garmin 660? I have heard anywhere between 1.6 million to over 6 million POI's.

Is anyone else having problems getting custom POI's to display on their Garmin c530? I've loaded the latest (02/07) Software version 5.20.

POI loader seems to be happy with my .csv files and uploads fine. The poi.gpi file shows up fine in the POI directory. It's just that when you select "Extras" the "Custom POI" screen that comes up is blank.

which is better shorter distance or faster time whats the difference between

Everyone,
I am a new person and know very little and hope to learn and participate as often.

If someone would give me the format's for the different Garmins I will be glad to make some up with my photography I do.

If you want to send me a sample splash screen from your GPS I will be glad to make some up.

I have the 2720 and I don't think there are to many of us here.

I have a 2gb SD card in the unit. I have POI's loaded on the SD card which was created by the POI loader. I can't get the screen shot feature to work. I can change the splash screen because I have all my pictures in the folder I created called splash screens. I have the latest firmware update dated 2/7/07 and still have difficulty with the feature?

Hello everyone,

Greetings,

We have just purchased a nüvi 350 and find it very useful locally! I've been impressed so far over the last two weeks. Only once did it 'burp'. We were on the interstate and beside a service rode. I swerved to miss debrise in the road and the nuvi thought I was on the service road and tried to redirect the route. So, really more my fault that its....

I've spent a lot of time entering locations into my 660's "favorites" file. How can I set up another 660 so that its "favorites" file displays the same information, without doing it manually? Will simply copying the contents of the POI folder from the first, then pasting into the POI folder of the second do the trick?

Just purchased this unit - any thoughts from other owners? Tricks or tips? Thanks all.
Cheers, Micah

Anyone downloaded it yet?

Changes made from version 3.40 to 3.50:

* Removed + when dialing POI's in the United States
* Updated the US Daylight Saving Time for 2007

WHOO WHO on Garmin for removing the + dial prefix!

My c-340 has recently started announcing that there is a better route available, but it does not give me any other options. I have City Nav N. America NT v8. Any ideas? Thanx all.

I performed a quick experiment with my gps today, and that was copying roughly 250mbs of mp3s to it via usb. Bottom line, the end result was about a 15+ minute transfer Time. My plain jane USB thumb drive can have the same block of files in about 2 minutes.

Does anybody know if you can get some kind of gadget for the C550 so the routing instructions come out the vehicle speaker?

Why does Garmins POI download page not list the c530 in the pull down menu...sorry for the stupid questions...newbe

Hello

I was wondering if I am allowed to sell my older version of City Navigator (DVD) on say Ebay or some place like that?

Is there a location where you can download free US Road Maps that will work on a Garmin? I'm assuming that Maps that work with the Garmin are proprietary so you have to come back to them. What really urks me is that you can't make changes to locations that are inaccurate. It's like paying 75.00 for a flawed product.

I finally figured it out how to show your custom POIs on map. Search your custom POIs by Spell Name option and then save each of them as Favorites. That is the only way to show them on the map on C330 model.

C330 model can only show your Favorites on map.

I have many locations stored in my favorites folder, and I would like to delete them all, in one fell swoop, instead of one at a time. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how? Thankyou.
