Does anyone know how to contact the map maker for garmin to let them know that the new version 2008 still list roads that no longer exists that are either now corn or soy bean fields or just woods

In your opinions what are the pros and cons of each? There are Black Friday deals for both of these units, and I am trying to determine which one to go with.

I've read that the Tele Atlas maps the TomTom uses are not as good as the NavTeq maps the Garmin uses. Any truth to this?

Any thoughts on functionality between the two?

Thanks.

Does anyone know how many custom poi's you can put in the C330 and if you use the SD Card will custom poi's also work from the card

Hi: I'm looking at buying the garmin 650 from costco. I am not a member. The $299 price includes using a $150 coupon. How or where do I find this coupon? Thanks in advance for your help.

Has anyone purchased one of these or seen on, the screen shot really looks cool, as though you are actually on a road and you can see lanes and speed limits. I wonder if it is really that detailed? I can't see it knowing which lane you are in since GPS isn't that accurate, but.....

My wife just purchased a 660 for me (and her ).

They're amazing! Going to our kids sports often entails multiple schools. I don't know where some are. The school POI is just the perfect solution. No more last minute Google maps and print outs.

If you find that my Tourist Attraction POI VOL 1 files are good, I would like to hear from you.. I may dicontinue to update that set of files. If someone would like to take over my Tourist POI VOL 1 files, I would also like to hear from you..

I have been ill so I have not been to this site in the recent past. Actually I am scheduled for surgery November 27th. Once I recuperate, I will get back to being a regular fixture here ! ....and I will update the "Smelly" POI.

Hello:

My company is considering Garmin gps for the field guys.

We can export our client list into excel from Lotus Notes.

Is there a way to import the excel file into the garmin gps units and avoid typing in hundreds of addresses?

Thanks in advance.

Now "almost" available. Link to file download is screwed up but a nice description is there.

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 Kjunman and Oditius as our contributors of the week. We are also giving an Honorable mention to Ahsumtoy.

Kjunman, we really appreciate the work that you have been doing on the state parks files and the truck stop files. I will be working on the ones that have not been uploaded to the site yet.

Does anyone know how to get a screen shot off a nuvi 660?

I'm new at all of this. how do you find co-orinents for any locations. thanks 34fp27

Has anyone had their sound get worse after installing the newest software upgrade for the nuvi 350, or am I the only one. Mine now sounds like the speaker is blown, lots of distortion in the sound. I've always had it at one notch below full volume to hear it, but now its so distorted, and if I turn it down 2 more notches, the distortion goes away, but I can't hear what its saying.

Does Anyone here ever bought a garmin from e-bay with some things missing will Garmin still give the CD & Unlock Code for the used Gps even if it was registered to a different Person that you are buying it from

WISHING EVERYONE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY THIS YEAR. DRIVE AND ARRIVE SAFELY.

I was looking at some POI files using Microsoft Excel. The cells in column D had addresses entered. The address was displayed in the cell as:

4503 Riverview Pkwy.
Birmingham, AL 35242
205-980-1016

The cell was formated for word wrap but changing the width of the cell did not change the way the address was displayed.

What is this link for? It is on my "home" page here on the POI Factory. Thanx in advaance!

Here ya go folks, have at it.
