Welcome / open talk

Hi all,
My question is:
Over the weekend I let my Garmin c340 take me to my son's new house. Only one mistake-It took me down a dead end street. Reversed,recalulated and then took me there. When I got home, I got directions from Yahoo maps and lo and behold, it took me down the same dead end street. Can anyone explain this to me? I am just interested in an explanation.
Thanks,
Alan

Does anyone know if you can change the icon on the Garmin 330C. The triangle that moves around the map. Is there a way to download another symbol?

This week we are recognizing Dave4jp, msumy, and dieselraver with honorable mentions going to adcsusn and bobkz.

We have a group of people here that fly under the radar and it is time to throw them out in the open and recognize the importance of their contributions.

For the last several weeks, since getting the replacement unit from Garmin, our 330 has been losing satellite signals with annoying frequency. There was no rhyme or reason and I ended up resetting it twice, of course losing all the data.

How many people use their GPS for both? I have Nuvi 680 and still waiting for my motorcyle mount....Dave

Does anyone have a gps in thier car? I mean accually built into the dash,as an option as in the honda, bmw, etc.
Do they have a port or connectin to add the poi files?
Just interested before i look for a new car.Thanks,LONZ

I recently changed my splash screen on my c340. I accidently deleted my copy of the original BMP image (Garmin's image). I would like to have a copy of the original. Can anyone help me obtain the original Splash Image?

How do you pronounce "Nuvi"?

new vee or what?

How do you and your fellow LEO's / FF's feel about the posting of POI's that indicate the locations of POLICE precincts/stations and FIRE Department quarters?

While I feel that it can be a help to some of us, I realize that it can also be a hindrance to others!

Wow!

Thanks Miss POI

I just finish writing an Excel Macro to generate GPX files. This allows you to have dial-able (I think I just created a new word!) phone numbers.

1) First line contains headers!

Well folks, Sunday is the BIG day. Gonna take my first real trip with my c350. Yes I know it is a holiday, however I promise not to eat any bread during my Passover Holiday. The trip is taking me from Balto to Philly and back to see the Flyers play. If you happen to see someone driving in circles, stop and ask if you can give some assistance.

Is there any way to add additional waypoint icons into a garmin map60csx. I see a place for custom waypoints, they look like blue purple dots under the selectable waypoints.
Can i download some to mapsource?
Any help thanks.

Do you put screen protector on your GPS?
Does it make tiny bubbles?

Sooner or later, it's gotta be done - clean the touch screen...what to use...?

For some of you lucky ones, Baskin Robbins is giving away free icecream. I don't know if they are doing free scoop day, but here's the info:

I have a C330 street pilot. If I input a POI in under favorites the symbol shows on the map as I get closer but I don't see any other POI nearby even though there a allot of them in the GPS device.
I currently have the detail setting on "most" (the highest setting). Is there someplace else I can adjust the seting so it will show the nearby POI symbology?

I downloaded a poi and in the csv file it has the coordinates, name of location, and city in the 4th column in excel, but in notepad, I can see the full address and telephone number. What am I missing in Excel? I noticed that there are carriage returns is that why I can't see it in excel?
