Welcome / open talk

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.

What is the method to match up POI Icons with a POI file. Assuming we would touch the POI Icon on the GPS sceen and the matching listing wouuld appear. Example, touch the flying J Icon, a listing of flying J's would appear.

i upload csv chicago attractions to my laptop but i cant get it to upload to my garmin..when i us the uploader it doesnt give me the option to upload this file.why?

Hi Everyone,

When I display the Redlight Camera locations on my Nuve 670, this is what is displayed:

The first camera in the list displays:

Red LightCamera .01zg7             1.1mi N

Then when I press on that location, I get this display:

Red LightCamera .01zg7

Alert Information:
Distance: 1319ft
Speed: none
Burlingame CA poi-factory

Now my question:

Just wondering if it will or not some say no others say they will..............Thanks for any info.......Dave

Has anyone had any trouble with the maps not refreshing correctly?

Mine just started to (off and on) to not refresh so my map is blank as I move along. My car also tends to 'travel' down the road (like if it was set to north up). It also may take a few seconds, like 3 or so, for the car to even start moving.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm very new with using a GPS and was just wondering if it's possible to make a personal splash screen for my c550?

If it is ... then can you tell me where to find info about what I need to do to accomplish this?
