Welcome / open talk

Just wondering if downloading interstate rest area poi's will cause proximity alerts to sound on my gps everytime I pass one or does it just show up on my map? OR, do I have to do a search for them manually, when I am traveling?

This week we are recognizing Sasines & Kch50428 as our contributors of the week and giving an honerable mention the Viger6 and Alanrobin1.

Sasines has been getting himself involved in all the team projects underway and we really appreciate his efforts.

Kch50428, has been working hard on his weather stations project and helping out with everyone else's projects too, great job.

From past experiences in a town I am familiar with and the way my Nuvi 680 tries to take me down dead end streets and the long way around and then right into a bridge out sign..........well yesterday I was in an area I knew a little bit about and so I punched in to go to my daughters house and it took me down this old road that turned to dirt and gravel for abougt a mile and I was on my motorcyle

has anyone bought an external microphone besides the Garmin one?

The reason I woudl like to explore other options is because Garmin's microphone does not have any noise cancellng technology and everyone who complains on the other end of my calls complains about the "noise"

Does anyone know of a POI for all the US Talk Radio stations?

Is there a way to find out how much space is available on a Garmin C330 for POI files?

RT, I tried to 'clean up' my copy of the BURLINGTON .csv file after noticing your update, but I wasn't allowed to. I got the following error message after trying several times:

USE A TEXT EDITOR, NOT EXCEL, TO CHECK FOR DUPLICATE QUOTES.

Does anyone know if the new Escort radar detector with GPS can accept POI uploads?

Thx,
Jenny

Will the constant use of alarm pop-ups have anything to do with the memory on my Nuvi 660. I have many pop-ups on my Nuvi. Does it do any damage to have too many pop-ups?

Can someone share ways they have improved the sound coming out of the nuvi 360 speaker? Is there a device you can plug into the headphone jack that will broadcast the sound over an FM channel so you can listen in on your stereo?

Is the Garmin external Mic special or necessary? Or can you just buy any mic that has the same male jack size?

Just purchased a Nuvi 360. it comes with a pre loaded map. You can buy City Navigator NT, North America for $199. I figured for that price there has to be differences. Can someone tell me what they are?

Has anyone considered a POI file on UFO sites like AREA 51 and Rosewell crash site type of locations? I would be very interested in something like that!!!

Hi,

I can't seem to find a real solid explanation. I noted that when I get near a Red Light intersection that my Garmin says "Red Light Camera.xyz". What's the code after the period used for?

What works best? Orienting the flip up antenna parallel to the ground or turning it straight up? Parallel seems to make more sense, but I've seen some stuck straight up. Garmin doesn't address this in their manual.

Just out of curiosity... what do you people think is the best English TTS voice?

Hi,

I understand that we can download POI files in
.csv format to garmin c330 device.
What is this .gpx file ?
Can this file also be downloaded straight into c330
using a POI loader ?

I just signed on to POI Factory and I see the the list of POI's. So how do you down load without a down load button

Just wondering what evryone else does.

I mount my GPS (Windshield mount)within my reach for local trips, so I can mash buttons when ever I want. How-Ever, for longer trips (Using the RV), I mount the GPS on the passenger side, and only let the passenger (Navigator) mash buttons.

Just seems a little safer on long trips.
