Garmin Warranty Service
I had my unit for about 5 weeks when i had to send it back because of a software problem. I called garmin, total time on the phone was at the most 15 minutes, got a rma number and sent it back. The longest wait was for the post office to send it. Looks like garmin recieved my GPS and sent me a new one the next day. Total time was 10 days.

Pictures from the Past
These pictures are fascinating. They are of an America that we don't really know....real Americana of a bygone era. They are 70+ years old and so beautifully photographed. This is a real treasure.

Obsolete Data in a POI file
I have only been a member for 2 weeks and have noticed some obsolete data in a couple of POI files (rest areas and McDonalds). What do I do with this information? Inform who with what?
If I were a General Maintainer could I correct the information myself and how would I do that?

Touchscreen won't work
Hi Everyone! 1st time here. Having an issue. I have the Garmin Nuvi 605. I've never had a problem with it, until now. It seems as though the touchscreen has just stopped. I can see the screen. Audio works. It just won't respond to my touch. Any ideas?

Built-In GPS Units
Since so many new cars have the option of having a GPS unit built-in I wonder if we should have a discussion about the pros and cons of these units?

Hello everyone new to forum just like to say hello. Looking forward to learning more on this site.
Thanks Rob
problem with "Sizzler" POI
I DL the Sizzler poi from here in GPX format for use on my Nuvi 855.
It has Sizzlers in a few different states. I use POI Loader 2.54
The problem I'm having is that only the Sizzlers in CA show up on my Nuvi.
I used extra poi editor to convert the GPX to CSV and looked at it in Excel and all of the other states are there.
I've tried both formats on my 855 with the same results.
