Welcome / open talk

OK, I know I've done this in the past but I can't remember how for the life of me. I'm trying to download an mp3 file. How do I do it? Clicking it just brings up a player to play the file and right clicking doesn't seem to offer any option that aplies.

Thanks

Has anyone figured out how to send a Route from Google Maps to a GPS?

I've got a Garmin nuvi 770. I've been able to save locations via the "send to GPS" function of Google Maps, but when I make a custom route, the "send to GPS" function is disabled by Google.

I've tried a few workarounds from the Internet, but nothing seems to work.

Thanks.

Does anyone know how to add icons, bmp. icn. jpeg. etc to the Nuvi 750 icon library. The icons are so simple and small. I do not want them linked to any one specific POI.

I installed some software updates for POI file pages this evening. Here are the most significant changes:

* download buttons are at the top of the page
* CSV files can also be downloaded in OV2 format

The OV2 feature does a basic conversion using column 3 of the CSV file as the POI name. Info in any additional columns is currently discarded. The tool is not able to convert from GPX.

Just announced:

It's amazing this announcement to approve up to a dozen cameras came on the heels of another anouncement; Cedar Rapids is in financial straits and proposed a 2% sales tax increase. Their financial condition is so bad they were attempting to pass the tax increase without the required vote of the residents.

And the cameras are for safety reasons??

Saw a short note in one of the throwaway papers they hand out to commuters here in DC this morning (12/17). It stated Best Buy had reported its earnings were down something like 77% and that due to the poor economic times it was unable to capitalize on Circuit City's bankruptcy and was now offering a buyout package to its 4000 corporate employees.

Hi All,

I don't have any mp3's loaded on my Nuvi 880, however, I have an 8gb micro SDHC card with my mp3's loaded on to it.

Here's my problem:

It's a bummer, but somehow I read posts last week and did not post myself. So now my perfect record is in the can. Too much going on down here in Alabama, too many friends dropping in to visit, and my husband put his computer on the desk instead of mine, and I did not connect when I should have.

I sent to Navteq back in Nov about a road that shows on the GPS but is no longer there they sent me a Reply here it is:::

This week we are recognizing Mahoney and Motorcycle Mama. This is the second time that I have chosen these two together. Here is a link to the last time I recognized these two: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/15330.

These two are really wonderful people that should be very proud of what they have contributed to this community.

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.

Hello Everyone,

I posted something today on one of the boards but got the following message:

Your post was saved but is not yet published. Good posts are usually published within 24 hours.

Wondering why this post did not go through right away?

The Nightly News on NBC tonight had a piece on the crumbling infrastructure of the United States.

They have on their website a "Bridge Tracker" in which you input your origin and destination and it shows you all of the bridges you will cross. You can also choose to show just Functionally Obsolete, Structurally Deficient or "Not Deficient" bridges, or any combination thereof.

OK - I've been here forever. I know a few things about GPSs and thought I was informed... but this always throws me off. What's the difference in GPS and GPSr?

I do know that aGPS is for Assisted GPS on cell phones.

Thanks.

Which is better the FM Traffic from Clear Channel or MSN Traffic? I have a Garmin Nuvi 680.

A few small rural communities in Iowa are starting to ban the use of a GPS supposedly gps units are to much of distraction and are dangerous to the public especially when all ths started when a 16 yearold ran down 80 year old so all gps owners will do the same i guess .

I just bought a new HP laptop and decided to update my 370 and update my Red Light Camera files from this great site.

I downloaded Garmin web updater and POI uploader from the Garmin site and then downloaded the camera files. Connected my GPS to the computer and clicked on web updater nothing happened, just an error message that the program was not responding. Tried again same issue.

I've found that I almost never use the icons displayed on my GPSr's screen, and certainly never use them when I'm driving. Part of the reason is because one needs to be zoomed in to the 300 foot scale or closer. I understand the need to do this otherwise the screen would be way too cluttered.
