Welcome / open talk

Hi Everyone,

Just out of curiousity I pose the following question:

Navteq states that there are over 6 million points-of-interest included in their City Navigator® software. Does anyone know if there's a way to "see" the POI's that are installed along with the maps, on the City Navigator® North America NT Map Update 2008...

Thanks for your time.

The upload program says that there was a problem loading my POIs with mp3 files. However, it works fine. I have had that error if I had windows explorer open, but I didn't this time and I have tried it several times. Again, after I upload it, I get the error, but the POI is there in the GPSr and the mp3 plays "Approaching School Zone" so it works fine.

Has anyone else had this issue?

i download new poi loader from garmin web site.

The new poi loader is better than before.

The old version, after u install all cus poi files, u need to find out what u mean, u need to spend more times to do it, but the new version. they will set up different files like ( red camera, speed camera, beach in CA and so on)

Does anyone know if it is possible to wire a GPS device to work with your car audio system?
I would like to hear the turn by turns, and also phone conversations through my stereo.

I will be going to Walt disney World in Fl. (WDW) and want to say thanks to all that made a poi for Fl. All of them will come in handy..

Can anyone tell me if and how I can add voice alerts to my c330. I know some systems use the MP3, however, I've heard that the c330 does not use that type of file. No one can tell me what the file is or if you can add to it. Also, on that topic, is there any way to see all of the prompts the c330 gives out?

Hey anyone!!! Is it true you can program a Garmin unit to notify you when you are getting close to a speed trap.. or reduced speed limits, such as here in Birmingham, the speed limit thru downtown on freeway is 50mph... can I program my c330 to alert when reaching this area?
Just wondering... not that I really need it, but it would be fun to have it give an alert, just for kicks.

Thanks,

Hello I am new to the site and to custom POI's

Hi Folks,

I'm new to the forum and would like to say hello!

I have a TomTom GO 510 and enjoy it immensely.

I'm learning as I go. I've mostly read the website and discussions to this point.

Thank you for providing a very informative website.

Best Regards,

Sil

I was just wondering if you can tell a difference after you upgrade the maps.........if it's worth if to pay 70 bucks....after spending 999.00 in March for a Nuvi 680???...................Dave

Any problem with taking a garmin nuvi through the airport security checks.

Any likelihood that the x-rays will damage the device or that they will not allow the unit to be taken onto the plane??

Hi all,
I just got a garmin 7500 the other day and am loving it. I am travelling to Burlington Vermont in a week and am looking for things to do while in the area. Any input would be appreciated. I am travelling with my wife as well as my 6 year old son so family friendly points of interest would be great.
Thanks

Here ya go folks, nominate away.

Can I upload a PIO file from the TomTom site for my Nuvi? Will it work in my nuvi?

I have the Garmin C550. The routing to a location is totally different than the one given by the camp ground. Their route seems to be and (IS) the best route. I would like to use their route and have my GPS use it. No matter how many times I do "re-route" it still does the Garmin way. Is it not possible to inport my route into the GPS?

I have located a reverse Geo coding program. It restricts the input to one longitude/latitude at a time. I would like to find a program or URL that will accept multiple entries to process as a batch. I am using the GPS visualizer to batch process from an address to the long/lat. I am attempting to add addresses to POI files.

I bought a Nuvi 660 from Costco a month or so ago and it came with the FM traffic power plug. I live in an area where there is no traffic coverage.

I am getting ready to install POI in my GPS .Question 1 how many POI will it hold if any Question 2 do I need a memorey card and if I do how big Question 3 A friend who also has a 560C states I can delete some of the unused langues and create more room in my GPS.

Thanks Joe

I updated my Garmin GPSr from a desktop computer to keep my laptop available for work. Later I wanted to install City Navigator 2008 NT on the laptop for use with Map Source and a specific Garmin unit. This is the reinstallation process:

Remove the previous City Navigator V8 installation

Is there any way to add vehicle icons to my Garmin streetpilot 2720?
Thanks
