NUVI Nubee here... missing streets...

Hey there,
Is there any way of adding missing roads and streets to my 650? I have the 2008 map update and these new streets are still missing ... any help is most appreciated.

Garmin will soon change standard SD card format to Micro SD

So if you have not purchased one yet, and plan to, I'd suggest getting the Micro format with an adapter. Sometime in February the GPS units will change over from the standard SD card to Micro SD cards. Im not sure if this will include the 700 series produced after late January or if it will include only the next generation of GPS's.

Red light camera poi's

Downloaded the red light camera poi. On installing it with the poi loader, do i need to unzip it first or leave it as it is in my folder?.

Anyone perfer built in GPSr

This has sorta been covered in other threads, but not by itself. I was talking to my coworker's bf and he gave her his c330 because he got a new car with a built in GPSr. I asked him which one he liked, and as I thought, he perferred his portable one. His main reason was because if he is moving, he can't do anything.

So for those that have/had built in and portable, which do you perfer?

nuvi 350 startup question

Turned on the Nuvi 350 as usual the other day and a subscreen popped up saying "Do you really want to delete all user data?" I hit "no" and it worked normally. Did I do something wrong or hold the "on" button too long or just a glitch?..

Nuvi 260 and poi files

My garmin 260 i use poi loader and it seems to work succesfully when i got into gps i see the poi items in the extras menu.
However it appears that the loader loads it as a single file in my poi folder i think i am correct in saying this?

Pixel size

I just got my first GPS that will let me load custom POIs and I will be creating some sound files and icons that aren't on the site now. So to save me some trial and error experimenting, can someone tell me what the maximum pixel size is that I can make a bmp file. I have made a couple already, but am wondering if I could go larger to make them more readable.

Thanks, Don

POI directory structure for transfer

Hi there,

I'm a new member and also new to the world of GPS. I'm a bit confused by the POI loader program (Garmin) as the documentation is a little light in explaining the directory structure so everythings shows up correctly.

voice volume on the 660

I recently received my 660 and tried it out. Im very disappointed to report that it is not possible to hear Jill over the road noise and the radio on medium volume. My 330 was able to overcome any noise level in my car. Anyone else having this problem? Switching to the fm yields annoying static and muffeled announcements.
