Garmin haqs announced a new set of maps to be made available that are aimed at senic drives. One set of regional maps for the whole country and another set for weekend getaways. For the Zumo folks they have a set for the nation biggest motorcycle rallies.

Does your GPSr sound disgusted when you miss a turn and it has to recalculate?

Mine sounds like:

(Disgusted sigh ... REcalculating) Emphasis on the Re.

Hi everyone i am new from brooklyn newyork these red light cameras are growing by the hour how do i add the locations of these cameras?

I have a Nuvi 650 which was sent as a replacement from Garmin for a Nuvi 650 which would not acquire satellites. I have tried to download additional vehicles through webupdater and tried to download files using poi loader and I get the same error message, "parameter is incorrect." I have tried to download the files using windows xp and vista with no luck.

just curious, how come i'm not an active user, its been 2 weeks and 2 days.......thanks

Garmin ad during a football game....one of their Christmas ads...with the "give a give a give a Garmin" take-off of a the traditional tune...

The Rant: It's not even (bleep) Halloween yet, and they feel it necessary to run Christmas ads. By the time it gets here, I'm already so sick of the ads that I can't wait for Christmas to be over.

OK...rant over...

Does anyone know how, if possible, to change the time between sound alerts. My 660 gives a sound alert about every 5-6 seconds. This gets nerve racking when the alerts are set to start 2 miles from the POI.

Hello,

I've had my Zumo 550 since May07 and took it from Vancouver to Sturgis and back this past summer. I wish I had run into this site before. The rest stops POI would have helped us plan our route with interim stops alot easier.
Cheers,

can i use a msn reciever for my c550

I just got my 760 last week and transferred my Custom POI's over. The poi loader finds the garmin but my only option is Garmin\E. I recieve the error message "there was a problem transferring your custom POI's to your device. Run poi again. Strange because they did transfer over. Anyone else seeing this or am i just a Noob?

Just checked and version 6.00 is available as of 10-12-07...did not recall seeing it posted here...if it was, my apologies for the redundancy.

Regards, Ted

If you've ever gone to one of the restaurants listed on your GPS only to be greatly disappointed, you might want to check this site for a review.

You can do it before you leave on your journey or on the road, if you have a phone with Internet access. www.roadfood.com

Anybody know of a POI for sprint store locations THANKS

The following came from a site called "Tech Dirt": This is one of those "why didn't I think of that" things.

Here ya go folks;)

This POI site is very interesting. Is it hard to use?
I do alot of driving in the NY, NJ, CT area. I just got a new Garmin C550 upgraded from teh Garmin 330.

Does anyone know the status of the red light camera issue in NC. I thought I recently heard that local governments are revisiting the issue with hopes of reinstating this form of traffic enforcement.

I'm new to the site and have found a ton of useful info that is greatly appreciated. My question is, if I've downloaded a set of POIs that someone else originally created and then I updated it with new locations due to new store openings, should I upload it, or send the file to the original author/creator to upload?

Thanks,

I have had my C330 since March and used it for a trip to L.A. It can in handy for sure but I noticed that there were major roads missing here in Canada. I purchased the update just today. It took several attempts to get the map date into the unit. I have bot a Mac and a couple of PC's. The Mac stopped after about 50% and said unable to query the device.

My daughter is always borrowing my Garmin C550..I would like to purchase a Garmin for her as a xmas gift any recomedation on the newer models also which ones I should stay away from..
