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?

I am making a POI of some addresses using Excell. A couple of these addresses are out in the sticks and I can't find positions to imput into a converter. I have tried to find them using Google Earth but they are not showing. If I drive to the location can I use my Nuvi 670 to get a fix on them and if so how is this done. I have looked through the menu but I don't see if this is possible.

In some places for the New Garmin maps, I'm seeing Version 2008, and other places seeing Version 8. Which one is the newest? Garmin's web site showing maps still refers to ver.8.

Just updated my nuvi 680 with a bunch more POIs and added in speed/location alerts.

Since I did that, it's VERY slow. Slow to look up a POI, slow to redraw. Not sure if I have too much stuff in there or if there's a problem with the unit.

So... going to try and load less stuff and see if it improves. There were something like 100k+ POIs loaded.

Thoughts? Comments?

can someone tell me how can I get a new MSN traffic Receiver my old one was stolen from the car
do you think I can get one back from garmin using the waranty do you have a better advised

Hi All,

I'd like to know if it's possible to set-up a speed alert, that will function whenever driving on a specific road, highway or freeway (eg. US101, SR35, Howard Ave, First Street, etc.).

Something like US101@65.csv or First Stret@25.csv., so whenever the GPSr recognizes you're driving on "that" road, the speed alert will function.

Thanks for your time.

We had some troubles with our web hosting service this evening. The outage started about 8PM Eastern and lasted about 30 minutes.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

After downloading the new "RestAreasCombined" on my c340 I only find a limited number when reviewing (scrolling through the poi's)the list. Is it normal for these larger files to have limited viewing? Of the 1700+ files I am only able to see maybe 50 on my gps. Anybody else notice this?

Here ya go folks, have at it.

Just saw this about the NEWEST TomTom One, it comes with Text-To-Speech (TTS). You can read about it here: article

I have a main road in my community that is improperly named on MapSource. I have spoken with longtime residents whose families go back generations and they say the road never had the name MapSource gave it. Does anyone know of a way to contact MapSource to recommend they change the name?

Thanks!

For anybody that has pre-ordered a Nuvi 7XX - the users manual is now available for download at Garmin.com. Pull up the Nuvi 750 or 760 or 770 and a menu will show up on the right hand side of the screen. Click on Manuals, and download the users guide. Note: The manual covers all of the 7XX series.

Enjoy...... Joel

I was just curious about something and maybe you guys can help...... say if I owned the Nuvi 360 and I programmed a waypoint that was located out in the middle of a field with no road leading directly to it.... would my Nuvi take me to the best route nearest to the waypoint (the closest road/street) and then just point to the right direction?

hey this might be a stupid question but I'll ask anyways .. I currently have a Radar detector in my car, I will hopefully be purchasing a GPS unit for my car soon, will these 2 interfere with each other? Thanks

I'll be taking the site down for a few minutes to install security updates for our web platform.

There are no changes in functionality, and I expect downtime will last 10 - 15 minutes.

Today I found this POI Factory website,it is great!

Can someone explain how these .cvs.text files show up on my c340 after they are loaded in by using POI loader. I have this one file which is the location of all Dunkin Donuts locations in the US. it is a 836KB file . Before I load it I would like to know how it shows up on the GPS screen --Al

I have lost the web site of the free download of Microsoft Maps that are comparable to Google Earth. Am I dreaming, or is there such a site?

Help would be appreciated.
