Welcome / open talk

I just purchased a new Garmin nuvi 765T to replace my retired nuvi 750.I want to pull the "favorites" off of the 750 and install them on the new 765.I copied the 750's gpx files and transferred them to the 765 but the 765 still shows nothing in the way of my 750's favorites.Did i do something wrong? thanks for your help..

I am just curious if people here still use online mapping websites. I Still do, even though I have GPS. I am also wondering if anybody here has noticed which of them seem to be updates the most frequently. The reason I ask is I wanted to map my brother-in-laws house, which is a couple of years old and on a street built about the time be built his home.

I have been shopping for a gps for my bissuness for a short time and just seem to be getting more confused as I go.

I have a Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx with City Navigator NT North America and Trip & Waypoint Manager. I am using a Macbook Pro and downloaded Garmin POI Loader for Mac. I found Rest Areas Combined and clicked on CSV and it downloads to the Downloads file.

Has anyone had any experience with My POI Manager software? The link is below.

Just wondering if it was worth trying out.

* 255w for $120
* 265wt for $150

Is blue tooth worth $30 and does it work good or does it sound like you are talking in a 55 gallon drum or listening to Charlie Brown's Mother?

These are the specials in our area and will be good tomorrow only.

Thank you in advance for your input.

I am real green as far as gps goes. What is the difference between way points and POI's? Should I see them on the display as I drive along the highway?

Saw an interesting article today about the how the price of GPS units will continue to drop, like Tom Tom for $50, and big companies will be in trouble.

Here is the link--

i recently purchased anew nuvi255w. i registered it and upgraded my map. it was a one time free item which also had a shelf life of 53 days. seeing the price of map updating, i think i would rather purchase a new unit rather than pay for this service which is only valid for the unit in question. there is no provision for owing multiple units.

Interesting piece from Daily Finance about how far the price could drop on GPSr and why.

Interesting article about the frustrations business owners are having over GPS units.

Downloaded a couple mp3 files from the poi factory to
my Garmin 755t; used a bulk renamer to associate the csv & mp3 files... so no typos. Using the "police siren" mp3 for local poi's only.. ie 'local_siren.csv' & 'local_siren.mp3'
and all other poi's are in the 'other_poi.csv' with no corresponding mp3.

CNET has its Top 5: Tech Turkeys posted and two of them are the Garmin Nuvifone and Motorola TN30 GPS.

Interesting editorial in the NY Times about Court rulings on GPS tracking by the police.

We all hear about how dangerous driving is, and all the statistics about people being killed or injured while driving.

Well, last week a good friend of mine became one of the statistics.

He was driving on the freeway, got hit by another car, rolled over, got hit again, and died. He was not wearing his seatbelt.

This week we are recognizing Alandb and Tomkovacic.

Alandb, You were one of my top posters in the forums this week. Your posts were informative and helpful to others. I really appreciate having you in our community. Thanks for all that you do.

Tomkovacic, You helped update the Casinos USA file this week. I really appreciate the time you invested to assist Auggie with this project.

This is the place to talk about things that are not gps related.

Have fun...

This thread will be closed on Monday and a new one will be opened.

Are the 4 Pets Welcome Lodging combined files (SW, SE, NE & NW) updated whenever one of the individual states' files are updated/corrected? By looking at the dates of the combined files it doesn't appear they are being kept updated whenever a change is made to individual states...
