Welcome / open talk

is there a list of mailboxes (not postoffices) in cali for garmin? http://www.payphone-project.com/mailboxes/states/CA/ list the mailboxes. how can i easily convert it to poi data for nuvi?

How is everyone posting a link so that all you do is click on that link and it will take you there

I drive cars for a living and have to stay at motels at times. Since I bear the cost myself, I try to find affordable places. It amazes me that the only list on this site is for Marriott Hotels. Anybody know where I can get lists for Super 8, Exel Inn, Knights Inn, etc?

Thanks

well,,,,,,,,i sent back my c330 after the screen locked up. it didn't cost me anything and they got a replacment in pretty fast. the problem is that when i started loading my poi's on it the same thing happened. i don't know if one of the poi files is corrupted or what but either way i have another dead c330 that's going to have to go back. as before, the reset procedures don't work.

Here ya go folks, have at it.

I am looking for Post Office (USPS) POI data. Is it available for the USA?
...thanks...chuck

My Nuvi 650 just came in from amazon.com along with the external antenna. I have to say I wasn’t expecting the antenna to be so large. It’s more than twice the size of my XM satellite receiver.

I love this site! Just got a Garmin Zumo and I am loading a bunch of custom POI files.

Has anyone done anything with any state historic markers? Here in Wisconsin I love to stop when I drive by a historical marker. That would be an awesome POI file!

Thoughts?

got my cd yesterday and downloaded the new update to my nuvi 350- it took about 2 hours but it seems to be working well and is updated-- the new starbucks was just built about 4-5 months ago and it is in the new update.

Looking for Sapp Brothers Truckstop poi....ne have these??? If not I'm gonna learn how to enter info and add them.

I was looking for aq bean bag and then found this "Friction Mount made by garmin. It is now on sale in Best Buy.

Before buying it I went on line to garmen to relook at the bean bag and found this friction mount in it place. I did not see the bean bag aqnywhere on the site. I am woundering if they are replacing the beanbag mount with the friction one.

I was traveling in Lexington and they closed rt.64 but my nuvi kept directing me to that same route even after I pressed the reroute button, although it did reroute me on the secondary roads but it still put me on Rt.64, which was closed. isnt there an "avoid this route" button somewhere. this was very aggrevating.

Would someone please direct me to the link where I can learn the basics of what these CSV and GPX files are, and the process of creating them. I just got my Nuvi 660. I know I need to obtain this "mapsource" thing from Garmin, but what to do then, I'm stuck. The topics here seem to deal with advanced issues, and I guess I need to start at the beginning; I want to get the most out of my Garmin.

Just purchased a Nuvi 350, how can I determine which map version that is installed in unit.

Garmin must be doing something. I went to their web site > Maps > Metro Guide v8 to check the map on my area, and all I get is a big black, blank screen after several trys. Maybe there getting ready to put the new version up.

Hello everyone! First time poster here.

I was trying to download the Garmin POI loader tonight and I'm just having a heck of time with this. I must be missing something.
