Welcome / open talk

Under favorites (already calculated routes), how do you delete a route without deleting all of them. I havent figured that out yet!

I always seem to have problems entering an address that is lets say 531 South Route 38.

It always seems it never locates it... Is there something I am missing?

This is probably a bit off topic from the usual GPS information, but I came across this and thought it may be helpful.

And I do apologise for my prolonged absence and hopefully I'll be back into the swing of things shortly.

Hi Everyone. This website is fantastic. I am enjoying my new Nuvi 680 !!!! Lots of fun. Im trying to create few " Speed" warning Poi's using excel.
The problem is everytime I try to enter the longitude with the minus sign ( West) it doesn't let me continue.( Like changes to SUM and adds other stufff to the end of the digits !!!!

..to the latest POI file? Is it possible to simply add the new info to the bottom of the file? I have already reported it. I am assuming that when I download the new file, the new site will be there and the POI Loader software will overwrite the file in my c330.

Hi,

My 1st question is:

how accurate is the speed which shows on face of Garmin c340?

2nd question:

Why would I have to load Garmin c34o software again as my computer would not recognize gps when connected by the usb cable? I have had no problem since first loading software a couple of months ago.

Appreciate any insight to my questions.

Thanks,

Alan

I know that we are all very diverse in our interests, and I don't want to sound too eager or anything, but what's the next big POI project? What are people interested in?

This week we are recognizing just one single individual because he is an amazing person and gives so much to this community.

RetiredTechnician, where would POI Factory be without you? Probably full of files that have duplicate locations, missing negative signs, and too many comas.

I just uploaded a POI file with most LL Bean stores in the USA. It is not showing...did I do something wrong or is there just a lag/review time?

TIA, Ted

Where can i find additional voice format files?

My Garmin C340 is falling off the window now that the car is gtettiong hot.
I have cleaned the window and suction mount with alcohol.
Any suggestions?

Hi--

Has anyone found a program that will convert .gdb files to usable .csv files with no muss and no fuss? My only caveat is that it has to be a simple process as I am not very facile with this stuff and I do not have the time to learn complicated procedures.

Hi everyone

Does anybody have a few transparent bitmap icons 24X24 to send me? - I have created my own to have them displayed on the Traffic Monitoring Points in the South African mapsets, but I can't get rid of the ugly white backgrounds!

Please keep in mind that I'm not very computer literate wrt editing photo's etc.

Would it be better to save locations as Favorite Waypoints or to save them as POI's. Example. I am loading WI Rest Areas (info from both the POI list here as well as from WI's website). I do not currently have the abliity to load POI's with a POI loader. (software issue). Can I go ahead and put them into Favorites or should I wait until I get POI Loader.

I have downloaded a couple of the POI files into my Garmin c340. In regards to the red light camera, can I assume ya'll talking about those that have the camera on them to snap a pic of your plate if you go thru that red light? #2--How can I tell if a particular red light camera in my neighborhood is in the file?

Ok you all have to watch this video, it cracked me up. Jon has actually done this, it is rather annoying.

Miss Poi

Saw a price at a Sam's Club that was too good to pass up - and did the deed.

Gave my Nuvi 350 to my sister.

(Don't tell anyone I'm really that nice...)

Next thing is to upgrade to a bluetooth cell phone...

If anyone is interested, Costco has just reduced the price for the Nuvi 370, by $120 for a sale price of $579.00. It requires a membership but I still thought that it was a good price for the 370, considering it includes the transatlantic maps which cover the US, Canada AND Europe.

Hi Everyone. This is my my first post and I'm learning tons of information on this website.
The question that I have is that when I connect my Nuvi 680 to my Macbook Pro, the Nuvi icon shows up with the different folders, like:
1-MP3
2-garmin
3-Jpeg
4-GPX

I am new here, just bought my first GPS today but since it wasn't new, I did not get a mounting kit. I was told to stay away from the windshield suction mounts anyway. I was thinking about one of those air vent mounts, but in my Jetta, it will interfere with my cupholder. Has anyone every seen or tried one of these floor mounts:
