Garmin talk

i have a garmin c530 and like it very much. i also have a etrex legend and metroguide north america. i love the way to see the entire trip on metroguide and way points which i cant see on the c530 without going through turn by turn. is there a way to use metroguide and poi to design a trip. or better yet see the trip reconmended by the c530 on the metroguide.

My kids got hooked on Geo-Caching when I had my Garmin E-Trex.
Problem was, I would still get lost when driving, It was great for telling me where I was, But not where anything else was.

So
We got the Garmin C330
I Love it. (Except for it saying their are some roads present, when their are none, But this is Rare)

But it doesn't do Long/Lat entry (That I can tell)
Anyway to use Long/Lat for Geo-Caching with the C330 ???

Hi Everyone,

I just received my new Garmin c330 and I'm having a little problem accessing the POI's that are on my SD card. I used POI loader to add them to the card, but when I try to find specific POI's by spelling their name, it can't find it. None of them. I know the database is on the card because I can see it. Why doesn't the GPS see them on there?

When you insert the SD card, does the GPS do anything to indicate that it found it?

could any one tell me how to download POIs from this site to my nuvi 350. I am a very new user of this gps system.
Thanks

By mistake, I downloaded a database containing tens of thousands of POIs onto my Garmin Street Pilot i5. Is there a way of deleting these?

Thanks for any help offered.

Good morning. I think I need an assist.

I downloaded the Trails, Schools, and Parks POI's from the POI Factory Website onto an SD card. When I inserted the card into the NUVI, the NUVI asked me if I wanted to download the new info from the card to the NUVI. I did, but I'm not sure I should have. Anyway, the Trails and Parks POIs work fine, but tapping on the Schools POI causes a 30-45 second delay before the list comes up. Once it does, and I tap on a school name, there is another 45 seconds before the information is displayed.

Hello All,
I stumbled across this site which explains how we can use Garmin Mapsource free as long as we own Garmin mapping software. This is pretty cool and what you have to do is find your waypoints and then do a saveas then save as a *.gpx, from there you can convert to *.csv. Pretty amazing software for sure!

Hello,

My comupter is not able to open the unzipped file redLight-cameras.csv so that I can then use them with Garmin's POILoader software.

In other words, the .csv file is not recognized by my computer! Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello Everyone,
Just thought I'd drop a line to let you know that my new i3 arrived yesterday! I found it very easy to load my maps and poi's and used it today to get to jury duty at a town I never go to. Well I entered the address and it took me right there with no problems. I even intentionally missed a turn and it recalculated my course and took me through some residential neighborhoods and never missed a beat! Needless to say I am thrilled with it. I did have one glitch in registering it with Garmin so I just called and got through in less than 5 mins. to a helpful person that was located in USA (NOT India!) If anyone is considering buying an i3 I highly recommend it. The best deal I could find was at www.newegg.com and I paid $235.99 shipped to my door in 3 days. Now I just need more poi's. Thanx MaryAnn and Jonathan for your efforts!!

It appears that loading a large number of POIs that have exactly the same coordinates can cause problems for Garmin's POI Loader.
