Welcome / open talk

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.

So yesterday, I downloaded two files to my Nuvi 650. Both had exactly the same name except for the extension. One was a csv, the other a bmp. They downloaded succesfully.

I then went out to the car, and chose one of the POIs as my destination. It brought me there fine, but the bmp didnt show on the map. Just the checkered flag. What gives?

Miss POI, I have an inquiry. I am wondering if it is possible to add numbering to individual posts similar to what they do at Delphi forums.

Hello,

I would like to be able to go back to posts I have made on the forum but don't know which discussion group I made the posts in.

Is there way I can find posts that I have done?

Thanks

It looks like that kid grew up awfully fast!

I just took my first day trip with my new Garmin Nuvi 350 I loaded in the address I was going to and then proceeded to divert from the route the unit wanted me to take. My wife now wants to get my attention by saying "recalculating" when I'm not listening to her as she seems to think that I am listening more to my Garmin.

Got a glimpse of one of GE's 'secret weapons' about an hour ago. You know, the compact vehicle with the GPS dome on the trunk and the mast - with some kind of do-hicky (360 degree camera I think) mounted to it - on the roof. Oh, and the Google Earth decals on each side and the CA plates. Yup, it passed right by me on my block while I was sitting outside.

This is completely off topic. My fiancee and I just recently took a schooner cruise up in Maine (www.stephentaber.com) which was awesome. I didn't bring my GPS to avoid exposing it to water, rain, etc.

The captain had an awesome Garmin GPS unit specialized for nautical use. It had depth charts, wind direction, great weather update capability. It was impressive.

Miss POI You have a 2610 or 2620 it only holds 50 waypoints:::::::: how do you put your poi files into the 2610 :::::: I know its not the same as my 2720 my buddy has a 2 gig chip in his 2610 so it should hold quite a bit of info

I recently downloaded several POI lists from this site and it was very easy. I now have another button under favorites, "custom POI's"

I was looking for a local WalMart so I used that button and it brought up WalMart and the green GO button, but no address. Is this normal for POI lists or did something go wrong with the upload?

Thanks,

Admins, do you have a record how much time ppl spend on this site? I wonder who the top 10 would be? I am surely one of them...lol.

My nuvi 650 tells me I am going one speed, my spedometer tells me I'm going a few MPH slower. At 70, by the nuvi, it says almost 74 on the speedometer.... I'm inclined to think the nuvi has it right..

I've added a new option under "Create content" that active users can use to submit a FAQ.

The option to add a FAQ only shows if your user account currently has active status (i.e., the windmill).

The FAQ won't appear on the site right away. Miss poi will need to look it over and link it from the appropriate FAQ subject(s).

If you have any questions about the new units, Garmin has released the operators manuals, (both Owners and Quick Start)

Being completely computer illeterate can someone please explain to me in detail how to download icons and sounds. I have successfully downloaded the poi files for redlight cameras and rest areas but for the life of me can not download associated icons and sounds.

I know this question has probably been asked before but I can not find and references to it in any of the forums.
