Welcome / open talk

I am visiting NZ in March and I'm looking for Tourist POIs. Such things as Accomodations, Resturants, Tourist Attractions.

Anyone know of such a POI file?

Howdy gang,

I'm new user on the block and really appreciate the assistance that the community has provided.

I'd like to share TakitWithMe that I just found about from Virgil Zetterlind, the developer of the free GPX File Upload | Google Earth KML Converter | MyMaps Converter conversion program.

The interactivity between GPS units with Google Maps and Google Earth is amazing. Enjoy

Just got a new Garmin c550 and joined the POI Factory forum this week. Wanted to play around with loading some poi files so I downloaded the files for Olive Garden and Romano's. The Olive Garden looks fine on my 550 but the Romano's shows up with two rather large rows of text at the top of the screen and only shows part of the information. Looking at the excel files they are very different.

i'm new with the GPS and the speed camera .. i would like to start finding the S.cameras and save the locations ... in my area most of the camera are fixed for one direction and can't be rotated ...... but i need help with how to fix the camera location for one direction,,
if i fix the camera location am i going to get alarm when i pass from both direction ..???

Howdy,

I have a csv folder for speed alerts where I have various speed zones on my route to work. In conjunction with the speed alert I'd like to load different speed icons. The icon library is great that you offer users. Thanks

Hi,

Just getting started with my Garmin Nuvi. This web site is really neat with all the tools for users in addition to providing a unique and helpful community forum.

I have a vocal alert for all of my custom POI files, and in the town where I live this isn't a problem.
Last week I was in Shreveport, Louisiana and had to go to Wal-Mart. By the way, the GPS worked great finding the closest store.
Anyway, I am going down a major street and all of a sudden my GPS went crazy!

When got my Nuvi I was given a "Super Saver" card and SD with it. Glad I did not pay for it b/c it has turned out to be nearly worthless. Everytime I have tried to use it I have had a problem, either they have no clue what it is or that they even except it and in most cases have outright refused to honor it. For awhile I would call the number provided but finally just gave up.

Hi,

I am new to the GPS world. I just downloaded a POI and ran the uploader software. Where can I expect to see the info on my GPS? I looked under Extras. It searched and the page said Custom POIs, but there was nothing on the list. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Does anyone know of a great POI download for campgounds for the U.S.??

can any body tell me whats the garmin telephone
number to call for update if I can get it for free
thank you

i just loaded the low clearance poi, and was wondering if the 330 will alert me if and when i get close to a tunnel etc. anybody know?

I recentley had to contact Garmin C/S and have say I received outstanding service .I called for a 2008 update and they sent it to me in 2 days no charge.

I found a restaurant to add to my 350 addresses. How can I get it to be listed so that I can find it under "Food"?

For those of you looking for external antennas for the HP iPAQ rx5915 (MMCX connector) here is a source. The solution also includes optional adapters that interchangeably accommodate Garmin, Magellan, and Navman units.

Take a moment out today to remember the innocent people and brave heros who died Sept. 11th 2001, and if you have an opportunity, thank the people in uniform - police, fire, military - working to keep us safe.

This was in today's CNET's Newsletter.

My father has a TomTom 510 and it won't powerup, thought that there might be a hard reset, anyone know how to do it?

Hi there...I called up garmin...they didnt offer the update for free...i got my c340 in jan...since so many of u have it free...i was wondering if anyone could share their unlock codes..its really doesnt seem fair that some people have to pay for the update when others dont just because of a few months difference...
