Do you think they're watching...?
Just thought it might be interesting to do an informal poll.
Do you think that Garmin developers actually ever follow the posts on sites like this (most excellent) one?
Do they care?

Volume on Nuvi 360
I got my first GPS (NUVI 360) a week ago and love it so far. Has anyone else noticed that the volume for the TTS commands and blue tooth is much lower than the volume for the MP3 playback? Is there a way to fix this, or is it a common problem?
Thanks in advance for any help/comments.

User Names And GPS Numbers
Miss POI do you think it would be a good idea to put the gps number after the Online users name so if someone had a problem with there gps they could see everyone that has the same gps as they do that way they could directly contact them for some help Example Auggie SP2720
Snowman SP C340 ETC.

avoid toll roads
i used my C340 for the first long trip i made since i purchased it i.e. about 2 month ago. i was driving from Queens, NY to Poconos in Pennsylvania. i had set my C340 to avoid toll roads and it took me via I-380 to I-80 and further into Pennsylvania. i was impressed!!!
however while coming back it behaved crazy; it chose a route which was 600+ miles, taking me across couple of states

Uploading .csv files
I'm using a nuvi 660: Mac 10.4.10 OS w/Garmin POI Loader installed. Downloaded the USAPOI Tourist Guide for Hotels.csv to the desk top. Can't get the POI Loader to recognize the .csv file to upload to the nuvi or the SD card. Would appreciate any help.

POI category - trucking suggestion
May I suggest a new POI category?
Trucking related...or something on that line.
I'm working on several projects related to trucking, but I'm afraid they'll get lost in the other categories.
Thanks

Lost in Space
Anyone out there want to date yourself? Remeber the robot on Lost in Space when he sensed danger would start yelling warning, warning Will Robinson. Well, if you would like the mp3 voice of the robot sounding off a warning go to the following:

Great mp3 file to let you know a traffic camera looms around the next corner. Jake

Installing POI's in nuvi 350
After I download all the POI's and store them on my hard drive, I open POI Loader 2.4.1.0 and start the transfer from my hard drive to the SD flash drive in my nuvi 350. After a few seconds the transfer is complete using the Express Mode. If I add another POI to the folder on my hard drive and try the transfer again, the POI Loader times out and nothing is transferred.

How do I remove the Garmin Dash Disk
I foolishly applied the Garmin Dash Disk to my brand new Nissan Murano's dash. I decided that I hated it because the arm kept falling off. So I bought a Garmin bean bag, skid free device with the arm built in. It is awesome (On sale at Amazon for $27).

Nuvi 660 and MapSource
I am just getting into my new Nuvi 660 and have some questions about integration with MapSource. I would like to map out a complete route in MapSource including multiple checkpoints and stop overs and transfer them to my 660. I will have to buy MapSource and don't know if it is worth the money, and which MapSource to to buy. Anyone have any experience with doing that.

sd card for sale
i have a nuvi 660, i wonder if there's anyone out there who would sell me an sd card for the eastern seaboard of u.s. specially washington dc metro area, viriginia, delaware... i don't have access to a pc, i have a vintage mac, & worst, i'm totally computer illiterate.
Howdy
Just thought I'd introduce myself and offer up two new POI files that I created yesterday. Wienerschnitzel and Foster's Freeze (both fast food joints) have been uploaded.
I'm a new (about a week) Nuvi 660 owner, and am having a blast with custom POI's. I've been using GPSes since back in the Garmin GPS-45XL days.
I look forward to additional contributions (and downloads!) in the future.
