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.

I'm looking at and getting confused by many models (mainly Garmin). I'd like the following features:

--audible road names
--good receiver
--US and Canada pre-loaded (as I might make it up north next year)
--<$300 before taxes

Does anyone have experience with Tom Tom's voice input. I find Garmin's input method awkward. This is my biggest problem with Garmin -- no interface. Voice input would be a great solution.

Please reply if you have experience. Does it work?

Thx,
Jen

Why does the Nuvi alert you to an approaching freeway exchange and tells you to either keep left or right to stay on the freeway toward your destination?

Hey everyone, i am new
I finally got my Garmin Nuvi 750, after having it on backorder for over a month, and i gotta say i am very happy with my first GPS.

Garmin has dropped out of it's attemp to buy Tele Atlas.
Wonder what their next move will be.

Just wanted to say "Hi" and say this is a very cool site. I already created a POI for Washington Mutual ATM in the Sacramento area. I'll be uploading it shortly.

Looking forward to contribute more in the future.

ISLIP, N.Y. — GPS tracking devices installed on government-issue vehicles are helping communities around the country reduce waste and abuse, in part by catching employees shopping, working out at the gym or otherwise loafing while on the clock.

Kelly Pop Boom Bop Bang. Hi, even...

Let's say a person "waaaa" was to start traveling all over the US of A.

It might be to his advantage to have his money is a bank that would have the most branches all across the country just to have a somewhat easy access to it.

Anyone know which bank that might be?

I am thinking of two - Bank of America and Wachovia that might come close.

See link below for on update on the legal battle between the two.

This came to my inbox this morning and I thought it was really cool. http://headwayblog.com/2007/11/13/gtfs-to-gps/

It is fun to find our community featured in blogs and on other sites.

I at one time thought that I had seen additional voices available for the nuvi 660. For the life of me I can not find any mention of these on this forum or on the Garmin website. Can anyone help me in this endeavor. I want to try some voices other than Jill, as I really don't understand her too well.

I recently bought a Garmin 660, after purchasing and returning the $200 MOI, best return i ever made, anyways i do love the 660 and especially the fact that i can tie it in to my car stereo.

i just got the nuvi 200 w this week. i followed the poi loader instructions and saved it ok. i tried to save a file in my computer and it is there but when i browse with poi loader it is not there. i tried the e-85 file three times what am i doing wrong?
