pulling hair..(SD card not recognized)

does Garmin nuvi require 8MB sd card or less, (as said in some post somewhere) or why is it not recognizing it. I still have time to return this thing.

No wonder (ways to trick voice-assistant systems)

It's no wonder why my nuvi's Voice Command occasionally thinks I'm asking it a question:

converting csv files on mac for Garmin

Hi, I have for years used the red light camera files on this site.I have converted the csv files with poi loader then to my sd card and inserted sd into my Kenwood media player and the files from sd card would be transferred to my Garmin(Kenwood) unit.
Now when converting on my mac and onto sd card and then to my Kenwood media player says sd card has no files??

GPS reset?

IN map mode or just settings GPS switches to Garmin logo screen.

New maps for my Mercedes

Just bought a Map update from the Mercedes dealer here. They only charged me $94.99 (and that included tax)for the latest latest maps. I looked on line at the mb.navigation.com Here maps for Mercedes and the price is $249. But it says I have to order it from the dealer, so I checked it out yesterday and got it it for $94.99.

Hand Helds & Poi files or Routes

Looking to start Fly Fishing again, come early spring.

Does anyone know if there are any Hand Held GPS units out there that accept POI files or Routes?

Prefer Garmin, but whatever supports them will have to do.
