Welcome / open talk

Took my Garmin 650 on a trip to Florida last week. Drove from here in NJ on down to Orlando, had a conference to go to. Programed the “Gaylord Palms” address into the favorites, and off I went.

I looked, but could not find, where you can load POI files, naming them differently from other POI files. Upload, change name, etc

I am taking all the Organized Project ad Sharing POI Locations discussions and combining them into a new Forum Topic called "POI projects".

This means that there may be a lot of old threads popping up in your unread post area.
Just wanted to give you a heads up.

I have only been a member of this site or several weeks and have gone through a lot of active and non active forums to see what information may be located there.Also have gone through the FAQ and other help information.I have found spread out all over these forums a lot of information is there that you don't find in the owners manual.Splash screens,touching the screen in certain locations to get v

I got e=mail from garmin to upgrade my c320, but when i do a lot of step by step, finally they show me the message , anyone know what happen:

Going to Boston on the 4th of November, any road construction that I need to be aware of? Can I hit 90 (Mass Turnpike) and go all the way to Springfield without issues?

How much toll money will I need?
How are the speedtraps there? Do they use Instant On (IO)? What RADAR bands do they use?

I can't remember if we decided or not to start a "Splash Screen" area (like the sounds and icons). I think that would sorta cool.

Look Out The Snowman Got The Hammer Down !!!!!!!!! I just got back from Reno and my GPS read when i checked my max speed 217 mile mph what gives with this reading anybody experience this with thier GPS unit

Just tried this in Greewich Village NYC.
Finding a restaurant was easy, even though I only knew the first word in the name of it. Some streets are only one or two blocks long, and could cost you lots more time without the GPS (NUVI 350)

can I download POI files and transfer them into Google Earth so I can see where they are located? thanks

Is anyone familar with the Navigon GPS Units (Navigon.com). I saw them advertised in a magazine. It states that they use Navteq maps and have Live Traffic Updates for free. No charge.
Have not found any reviews on them. ??

My C550 came with 3 months of free FM traffic. I loved it but not sure if I want to re-new. Accidents shown were gone by the time it showed up. A Detour took me much longer and I found out the accident was gone a while ago.

Hi, help please. I have a C330 GPS. I recently purchased a Kingston 2 GB, S D card. I downloaded the POI files i wanted. I then installed the POI files to the S D card using the POI loader with my memory card reader. Looking at the S D Card shows this, a folder called Garmin, in that folder is a folder called POI, in that folder is a file called poi.gpi.

This week we are recognizing Bwarden and Mrkenfl as our contributors of the week and giving honorable mention to FredL.

Bwarden, You took on a monster project this week and produced a nice POI Package with all the public transportation POI's for the whole Portland Metropolitan area. Great Job!!!!

I'm mystified how the synthesized speech works on these GPS's. If I put in the name of a street not originally in the map program the voice still knows how to say the street name. Anyone have any info on how this is accomplished?

I had a disturbing experience with my Nuvi 660 this weekend.

I am fairly new to using a GPS. I have a Garmin 680 with MSN. Is the MSN supposed to give you voice prompt when there is a traffic problem ahead. I was under the assumption that you had to go in to MSN and then click the traffic Icon to get traffic information. Should it automatically give me information while in the Map Mode? Thanks for any help.

Bewildered.

So, we have all these pois and radar detectors, license plate covers, sprays, etc.

Has anyone ever actually been caught on photo? I never have, all have been by live breathing police.

Just now learning about POIs and downloading them to my c330 they work great,just one thing are they suppose work when I choose my current route, they work great when I enter a town? I am a Newbie and this mite be a dumb question?
