Welcome / open talk

Just bought a Garmin 2720. When I try to load the drivers on my computer for the USB I get an error box that says Invalid Data and aborts the load. I downloaded the newest drivers from Garmin with the same results. Can anyone help me? I think I do not have 2.o USB.

Thanks

Does anyone have or has anyone started a Chicago subway system file ?

What is the OS that c530 uses?

Time on Garmin c340 is off by 4 hours mysteriously. How do I set it to the correct time? User manual doesn't provide instruction. Can anyone teach me or do I have to call Garmin?

I did a search and I didn't find my answer, so I am asking.

If the airline allows the gps to be on, has anyone ever tried it? What does it show? Does it show the 'car' moving VERY fast across the map, so fast that you can't even tell where you are on land? How fast did the speedometer go?

This is a very interesting article. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/G/GPS_SOLAR?SITE=NCHIC&...

Is there anything like a bluetooth adapter that you can buy and hook up to a garmin non-bluetooth gps and turn it into a bluetooth gps? I know there are a lot of bluetooth gps available, but i talking in terms of someone that has a non-bluetooth gps and does not have the money for a new one that is bluetooth capable.

How can I download just the POIS for my area (DFW)? Just found this site and I don't really understand how this works.

I have read in several posts that ppl may have trouble with their mounts sticking to the windshield. Here is a solution that works great!!!

Cover the suction cup with a VERY thin coating of vaseline. It works wonders!

Just want to say Hi! I hope my 1st POI Factory up-load (Wawa Stores) is useful to many of you.

I currently have a TomTom One NE and I am very impressed and pleased with its functionality!

Another great week, and I would like to thank everyone for all of the nice posts.

This week we are recognizing Asianfire and Yousey as contributors of the week, and I am also giving an honorable mention to Retiredtechnician.

Asianfire hasn't been here long but he has already made his mark. He is good at getting everyone chatting and having fun.

Hello forum,

As I mentioned earlier, the new server became available yesterday. I've been busy with setups and modifying scripts to work in the new environment.

I still have some testing to finish, and if everything goes well, I expect to move POI Factory late Tuesday night / early Wednesday morning.

I know that this sounds sort of old fashioned, but I still occasionally need to find a public pay telephone. Yes, I have a wireless telephone that is with me all day long while I am out in the car, but every so often I find that I need to locate a public pay telephone.

I am back home now and will be trying to catch up today and tomorrow. Not very happy with the internet service that my parents use. I was not able to get online until I got home a half hour ago.

Do you guys realize how much talking you do in a day and a half? I have 3 pages of unread posts to get through.

It is nice to be home.

I work with my POIs at home and at work (don't tell anyone). I use to put them on my flash drive and transport them back and forth. However, I often forgot which ones were the most recent, which folder had the 'new' POIs in it. Sometimes, I would overwrite and loose the ones that I downloaded.

This is just something that having a shiny, new GPS brought to mind.

Does anyone hae a list of historic or points of interest along the Natchez Trace Parkway. I'm planning a trip down it this summer and would love to creat a file with proximity alerts for all of the landmarks.

I have a list of landmarks with mile markers but not the GPS coordinates.

Any ideas?

I just got my GPS unit , KNA-G510 by Kenwood. have the DDX-6019 to play with it.
New in the forum, and really looking to contribute on San diego, CA, and BAJA California,Mexico POI's.
Later
