Organize POIs by State/Province?

Any chance we can cross reference the POIs into a database, so we can extract POIs by state/province and not just the category? Would make travel much easier if I could extract everything for a specific area - I could get all the Wal-Marts, Home Depots, fuel stops, covered bridges, etc, in one selection?

I have a garmin c530 and would like to know how the traffic.....

I have a garmin c530 and would like to know how the traffic reciever works. The subscription ran out, I had a free trial. When I plug up the reciever it show show the car symbol on the unit..but it won't let me select it. On the otherhand, the reciever looks like it is still working though..the light on the reciever flashes.

How many favorites can you save to the Garmin c530?

Does anyone know how many favorites can be saved to the Garmin c530?

Coordinates

rolleyes After having a past problem for finding the correct longitude and latitude reading for some custom poi's I decided to ask the Garmin people who were the best to get the coordinates from and this is the answer.

I'm happy to help you with this. I would use the google map as we get our mapping from the same company. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

how often do u download redlight cameras?

Though I download the redlight cameras maybe once every 1-2 weeks, I'm kinda lazy when it comes to uploading to GPS. Probably update once every 2-4 weeks.

Problem loading MapSource to my computer

I have a MapSource DVD that was provided to me from Garmin several months ago, which was previously loaded on my laptop. It worked fine and I've used it many times setting up waypoints etc. Now my dilemma!

My laptop is on the blink, so I'm trying now to download my original MapSource DVD to my new desktop computer.

It loads up, but I can't use it and get the following message.

Chatty Charley thread for the week of February 25th 2008

This is the place to talk about things that are not gps related, you can discuss whatever you would like, as long as it is clean. Remember we have families that have their children involved in the GPS fun and we don't want to make parents feel uncomfortable when their children ask what that word means.

Have fun...

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

This week we are recognizing Alleghany and BentBiker.

Alleghany, when you heard about the red light camera file clean up process you ran right out and visually verified all the cameras in about 3 cities surrounding you. I am still processing all of your reported information to include in this weeks update. Great job

Editing a Post

Can anyone clarify why I can sometimes edit my post for an extended period (15 minutes?) and other times, even though the "edit" button is still there, it tells me I am not authorized.

Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.

SchZone Not Announcing Correct

My new RL Cams and School Zones all are in working order, except for one school. It is on a straight of way highway. Going North I don't get the announcement until I am directly in front of the school. Going South, I get my announcement the 1200 feet I ask for, prior to getting to the school. What will cause this? BTW, the school is on the East side of the road if that makes a difference.

Thanks.

I need help with a downloaded poi file...

I All,

I downloaded the "Hot Dog Shops And Stands" file, in two formats:
GPX - with Garmin extension (phone dial support) and
Garmin CSV - regular line breaks.

The .csv file loads and displays properly (name , address and phone number).

POI File Icons

Dumb question here probably but I'll ask anyway......
I've loaded a couple of POI files and the associated .bmp files but when the alert goes off, all that comes up is a little gray dot so its hard to tell what I'm getting close to. What did I miss when I loaded the POI file to make it display the correct .bmp file ?

Anyone !?
