Welcome / open talk

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

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.

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.

I was unable to post a few weeks back and noticed that I lost my active status.

I am at 5wks 4 days as my farthest point of posting, and was wondering if I need to wait another week to regain active status.

Not sure where the start/stop points are for the 3/5 rule.

Thanks.

What is a good alert distance from a school zone? I set mine at 1000 ft........to great or not enough?

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).

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 !?

Where can I enter addresses and get GPS points? What do you like?

Hi I am having a problem finding poi's for school zones in Canada, any sugestion would be appreciated.

Does anyone know the least expensive way to update the Garmin nuvi 200 to work in Canada?

Thanks

When you have both cameras at the same location, how do you treat them. Both can't go off at the same time. Are they separated in feet, as I propose below? Hear one, then hear the other?

I put a Voice Mp3 (#7) alert on my SD card with the locations. Should I be able to hear it with only the Mp3 player? I look in the Mp3 file and cannot find it, or is it hidden in the .gpi files? I just wanted to see how it was going to sound. I am not doing a hard install of these files on my 660.

When I try to save the poi and select save file, I browse to my blank folder set up to save the file in and it trys to save as a file of all types? any cures?

detection work if the GPS is operating in "View Map" only. I've not tried it, and it's too late to try now. I just wondered if it would work.

Just wondering what gps units will allow you to create a POI while driving, instead of having to stop, write down the coordinates, go home, create a csv file, and upload.

Seems I read TomTom did this, but I've heard such horrendous things about their maps that I don't think I'll go there.

I have a nuvi 360 that I just got, and want to nail all those traffic cameras with a minimum of fuss.

I did a topic search and didn't find much info on Blackberry with gps from people that actually use this device. Although I've just recently purchased my nuvi 660, I'm considering an AIO solution as I've realised I now have an additional device to hang off my belt or try to stuff in a pocket if I don't want to leave the 660 in my vehicle. Any user opinions on the Blackberry gps? Thanks

I have a Magellan Maestro 4000. It has a few quirks that I just need to get used to but there is one BIG problem I haven't been able to work around yet.

Looking for suggestions and indications whether or not other Mfg's units have a similar problem.

If you zoom out too far, the POI icons disappear.

Hi Bluetooth users,

My Nüvi 670 makes the bluetooth connection with my iPhone, but all of a sudden I get a "phone disconnected" message on the screen, followed shortly by the phone icon "reappearing" on the main screen. Then the whole process repeats itself, as if in a loop.

Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?

Thanks for your time.

Regards.
