Welcome / open talk

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?

Has anyone used their GPS on a cruise ship, or is it even allowed?...Just wondering.

I just upgraded from 4.0.2722 (Jan 5, 07) to the latest version and the resolution of Placemarks has gone from 6 to 4 decimal places.

Fortunately, I had a copy of the older version and re-installed 4.0.

So, if you use Google Earth for POI's I would not recommend upgrading to 4.1 at this time.

all right everyone, you know what to do. Post those nominations here;)

Does anybody experience the phenomenon where you set an icon to one of your favorites, shutdown then restart and the icon is just the black dot? It's like it wasn't saved at all.

Not sure what to do about it. Any ideas?

I was just wondering, let's say that you have 2 or more poi databases in the folder to be uploaded to the unit (nuvi in my case) and they're named differently... would the listings be shown separately or be combined together under "Custom POIs" submenu?

Hello again,
Does anyone have any cool tricks,tips, websites, etc. for the Garmin map60CSX?
Thanks

Hi Admin,
I was going through the extensive list of POI's available and I thought that if there was a cross reference list of POI's by state would it be helpful. This way going through all the files and finding those for my state is not necessary.
Just a thought !!!
ThanX

Admin,
I think it would be cool to see how many times a File was downloaded. this way it can give others a way to see what people really are intrested in. I like to create files but not sure if others would like them..

Just a thought.. unless you do see a reason not to display that info.. again, just a thought

i want to know what diffeent between garmin c320 and C330, i only know c320 not harddrive but c330 have it but how many GB by the way c330 can use other chinese too ???

I have a Tomtom5 on my TX. I use Holux 236 for GPS nav. Ijust got Tomtom6 also but hesitate to install bec. there is not that much improvement. Anyways, when I was just searching around, I found this forum. This is a great site and I will try to provide some info to help others. By the way, Ilive in Vancouver Canada.
ps. Summer is here:)

has anyone ever mapped this parkway out for gas stops,rest stops, eats etc? i am doing a motorcycle road trip in august with some friends and need info on the parkway it stretches over 440 miles and i think 3 states

Model - Nuvi 360

Is it possible to have the GPS record a route taken and save it to be used again.
Say if you have a passenger giving you directions to a place that you would prefer to use in the future, but are sure to forget.
Can you record to use later?
