Welcome / open talk

Hi everyone,

Been gone a week and would just like to say that I missed you and don't worry about having a gpsr in Aruba. You can't get lost.

Talk to you all soon.

Does anyone have the long lat for the worlds largest truck stop its called Iowa 80

Hi. This is my first post here. Fairly new to POI stuff.

Using a Kenwood system (510) in vehicle.

I brought up the direct satellite display info on screen and then read the coordinates directly from there for a location (speed camera).

It showed on screen: N47 17 294 W122 10 856 when the car was right at the location.

I converted to decimal: 47.2881 / -122.18067

Good Evening,

the nuvi 750 has a mic, so i wonder if a guy put in the 760 firmware if it woiulkd work

I have downloaded an icon from POI factory, as well as an alert sound. I don't know how to download them into my Garmin C330. They are saved in a separate file, at this time. Help please

I just noticed this today, but when you are flying, you see airplane (airports) icons on the map (even when you are zoomed out like 50ft). I wonder if it knows that if you are going 300+ mph, that you are flying and you may be interested in airports?

I have a c330. I have loaded many of the POIs and they show up in the Custom POI file. I loaded the WiFi Hot spots (Houston & area) and they show up under Favorites. Can I group them as WiFi and place them in the Custom POIs with the others or am I stuck with the long list in Favorites?

Okay, I have a Garmin Nuvi 350 and I am using POI loader latest version. I have saved an icon in 16bit with the 255-0-255 colour setting using MS Paint. Problem is the icon shows the magenta colour when viewed on my Nuvi. Ideas?

about garmin c320.

how can i get strong singal for my gps, every time when i turn on my gps and type address or spell name. I need to wait most 5 mins some time nore than that. And than final they will show me lost singal ????

Does anyone know of a program, preferably free, that can easily convert a csv file to the an1 format native to DeLorme Street Atlas USA. I can import csv files but there is a very small limit on the number of lines it can contain.

I cannot seem to find my recent posts that I have made.
For example, I get on POI Factory, post a post.... come back later and want to find that post...

How does one do that?

I do a search... and get everything but my post.
I go to recent posts... and same thing.

Ok... so I'm confused...

What am I doing wrong or not doing?

A few sites on the web say YES, but I phoned them and its just another case of false advertising by telling us that its in stock when it really isn't. I wonder if by Christmas?

This might work:
1 - before disembarking, save your "current location";
2 - on the way back, navigate with the unit on foot to find your car.

Don't know about parking garages, a satellite signal is a must.
It seems the Nuvi 760 automatically marks your position when removed from the windshield mount... no need for step # 1.

How do I load POIs on my 2820?? using my iMac??

Will be offering the Nuvi 680 in about week. Can't wait to see what that price will be.

I have downloaded sond icons into a folders. Can you tell me how to load them into the GPS (C330) so they will appear on screen (red light camera icons)

Can someone tell me what the number 14 means when it shows up on the enter address icon on the main menu.
I'm pretty sure it appeared after I uploaded a wifi poi file. I checked the address book and there are no entries in there.. I also checked the number of wifi hotspots and there are way more than 14..

I'm stumped..

I think most people believe that the favorites icon distance appearance for custom poi's was defaulted to around 300ft to 800ft and could not be changed. However, on mine, while it has a default setting of 800ft, and the icons disappeared at anything over 800 ft, I can now customize it to anywhere from 300 ft to 5 miles. Had this gpsr over a year and just learning that.
