Welcome / open talk

I not very successful on getting them to latch on to the POIs I've downloaded. Example is "Starbucks" POIs and the bmp icons. Can somebody learn me that?

TIA!

Would a list of the cameras for escambia cty, fl be helpful? also santa rosa cty? thnx

you get no onscreen prompts from poiloader? did i do something wrong?

I downloaded my file for poiloader and saved it in a file named the same. then downloaded the weightstations poi file. where do i put it in my garmin nuvi 350? Im new 2 this would like to learn more. thnks, matt

I have a list of POI's on my computer, I keep adding more as they are added. Each time I load them into my nuvi 660, the old ones are removed. My question is, is there a way to keep the alert distants for each POI, without retyping them with each upload?

Miss POI Is There any where to up load Bmp Files To Match Pois for example Camping Bmp would be a 24x24 pic of a tent or a 24x24 pic of a railroad crossing sign and ETC. So every one can go there to download them for there poi files Thanks

you can view all the info within a csv file if you right click on it and choose 'open with' 'note pad'.

oops..did a search and realized how much of a newbie I am.

Would like to say hello to all.

Current poject that I am working on.

Hello everyone,
I wanted to let you all know that JM and I have been contacted to do a radio interview about POI Factory with Craig Crossman and Carey Holzman of Computer America.

We are so thrilled to be given this opportunity for exposure to more people.

I am very new to connecting the GPS to my computer, and I have a problem that no one else has seemed to have... When I try loading a poi file to my unit, i get through the first couple screens, but right as it's supposed to be loaded into the unit I get an error that says that the file cannot be loaded and that i should try running poiloader again. what can I do to fix this?

I've been trying to figure it out but the unit doesn't help much.

On the Nuvi types under SETTINGS > MAP > MAP DETAIL ... what are the differences between the 5 settings (Most, More, Normal, Less, Least)? Specifically, I'm wondering what each one draws.

Just wanted To let Everyone know That i Have Updated The Canada Casinos POI File as of 6/5/2007 so who ever downloaded the file the New one is Totally Up to Date Thanks

all of the sudden, as in just yesterday, the 530 started "jumping" to the volume adjuster...the bars would show up as if I was adjusting the volume...when I had not touched the set at all...still works fine but had not done this ever...

Any thoughts?

TIA, Ted

how long does it usually take if you turn on your gps and start driving before the gps locks into the signal .

I decided to create custom redlight audio alerts for my Garmin 2720 so I renamed the audio mp3 file the same as the file for the Arizona redlight camera poi, except for the extension mp3. Unfortunately, when I put it to the test, all I got was the usual ding, ding and flashing alert but not the audio alert that I added to the file. Anyone have any ideas what I did wrong?

This week we are recognizing Viger6, RetiredTechnician, and an honorable mention goes to Mask667.

Viger6 has been hard at work making interesting Texas files I am secretly hoping that now that he is in the same city as POI Factory he may join forces with me on the metro area;)

does anyone have voices for camera alerts?
