Great Site

Just want to say this is a great site and I have already learned so much about POI and my garmin. I even made my 1st POI file for my fellow Truck Drivers.
Thanks for a great Site.

SD Memory cards (max size for nuvi 370)

Has anybody heard of any SD memory size restrictions for the Nuvi 350/60/70 GPS's. I have a 370 and know it works on a 2GB but I haven't tried anything bigger. I have two other devices (not GPS's) that have a 1GB & 2GB restriction due to their OP systems.

Elapsed time to acquire satellites-Nuvi 350

It takes from eight to thirteen minutes to acquire the satellites. How close is this is common experience? I alwaus have to first answer, are you indoors etc.

Making POI files (Line breaks in Excel)

Got a lot of this figured out.

how do I access my new POIs on my Garmin 580?

Hi! I just joined & downloaded some POIs to my Mac to my Garmin. But I can't find them on the Garmin. I put them on a Sandisc.

I'm so excited but where are they?

thanks,
Pat

Contributors of the week 2007-10-01

This week we are recognizing two of our family favs here on the site. I am running out of unique things to say about these two because it has all been said before. Retired Technician and Motorcycle Mama, you guys really are the two top stars here.

So whats the deal? (different geocoding results)

So I am pretty new to gps units and even more so to my nuvi 360. I have been using the nuvi for all of my local trips that I already know how to travel to, to help gain confidence in the unit's abilities. I have had several things happen thus far that make me slightly weary.

HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY !!!!

Happy Columbus Day !!! Be safe in your travels and never leave home without your best friend...(your GPS)

POI for PDA/mobile GPS

Hi there ..
Further to the revolution in mobile phone gps .. Do any of you have an idea if its possible to upload custom poi to nokia N95 or 6610 navigator ..??? what about the PDA ..??

Does anyone use the 9 Char Zip?

I mentioned in an earlier post, that due to some GPS's having limited real estate, does anyone use the 9 Char. Zip Code. Give me a good reason to use all 9 rather than 5, since the coordinates get you to the location.

Please suggest a PDA with GPS feature

Hi all,

I'm looking for a new GPS. Can someone please suggest me a GPSr that has:

1) Pocket PC based PDA, so I can store contact list, calendar, etc.

2) A GPS, preferably with newer chipset (e.g. SIRF II or better).

Thanks.

Traffic Service in Atlanta (renewed my subscription)

Subscription to Traffic Navigator was renewed. Horrible driving conditions in Atlanta. The device gave me alternate routes and saved my sanity. lol

Site Navigation (skipping a post)

I would like to mark selected posts as read. This would help skip threads didn't apply to me or my system. I am not able to figure out how to mark selected items as read so they will no longer appear in my list. Is this possible?

Story from The Economist. Interesting read of sorts. Is it possible that recent acquisitions of TeleAtlas and Navteq will look overpriced in the future?
