I installed some custom poi's from this site and after done the installed poi's from Garmin are gone. Where can I find that file, it is not on the disk that came with the unit? I have a 660.

Here's some interesting news...

Some addresses just don't take me to the exact spot I want to go to. When I do arrive at the intended destination I save it to my garmin C330. My question is. Is there any way to get a latitude and longitude? I want these exact numbers to add to my custom poi files.

Also where do I download .bmp Icons.

I bought it last week and had a blast using it over the weekend.

I'm getting desperate! I was going to post a message here on POI Factory yesterday listing a FREE site I had found with an enormous number (I think they said over 5 million) of geocodes for different U.S. locations. I need help in finding that site again.

Here's a scary article about the increase in GPS thefts from cars, even as prices fall. As a long time resident of Philadelphia I've learned not to even leave a few cents of loose change visible. The article mentions that even the telltale suction cup ring is tipping off some thieves to go on a scavenger hunt in your car.

Newest Costco price for Nuvi 360 is $399.00 plus shipping and handling.

I bought a TomTom 720 but it won't work with my VX8300 Verizon phone. I called TomTom and they told me Verizon phones will not work because Verizon does not allow it. Any different thoughts on it before I return the 720? I live in New jersey.

Hi all,

A few screen shots taken on my trip to South Africa.
May be of interest as per some of the topics in the forums.

- Flight screenshots.
- Map-misalignment screenshots.

Hope they are worthwhile and of some interest.

WOW!when I told one of the supervisors of one of the dept.'s I take care all their vehicles about the GPS,like the C330 I have which the price I paid got the Companies attention,and using it as a tool for saftey because you do not have to look at maps and hit someone from the rear for looking for direction(I never did),and saves a lot of time too.

So, the first weekend I have my nuvi 680, I had to go out to a wedding in New Jersey (near Cherry Hill) We're playing around with the GPS, and my fiancee was in the mood for a Starbucks, since they have soy milk hippie food stuff. I bring up the attractions list, type in Starbucks. The closest one was something like 97 miles away. So we gave up.

This article will say it all for me.

Miss Poi

I have an extensive MS Outlook file 800+ names and numbers. Is it possible to convert to a poi file on my nuvi 360? Any help wba/ BTW great site here! Just joined...

Just got a Garmin Nuvi 350 and have a question on map updates on these. How does Garmin do the map updates. Mine has v7 maps loaded. I put the serial number into the garmin web site and it says mine is elgible for a free upgrade to 2008 v8 maps. Does garmin allow you to get free updates for 1 year or something? Or are you allowed 1 update?

Miss POI do you think we could get a new catagory called entertainment for such poi's as night clubs ,lodges,dance halls ETC.

I have noticed that there seems to be a number of offers from Buy.com and others lately that are Referb TomTom units at very reasonable prices. I own a NUVI 350 and I have no familiarity with TomTom.

I used Spell Name to find the CVS pharmacies in my area. I noted that the particular CVS that I usually use was not listed, even when I was parked in its parking lot, where I saved the location to Favorites. I then used Spell Name again, but the location I had saved still did not appear.

I am trying to find a way to attach one of the listed icons to my Red Light Alerts
