Welcome / open talk

This week we are recognizing Mike L and CherylMASS as our contributors of the week.

Mike L has only been with us for 2 weeks and a day and he has already shown that he is going to be one of those big personalities on the site that everyone loves. He put together our great WAWA file and has been assisting in the building of the fire and police files.

Descriprion of PoiLoader v2400 betastates:

Is there anybody that can explain me how to do it ?
TKS!

looking for the bridge cearance in westminster vt

several months ago i ask a garmin tech if there would ever be a upgrade for voice to text for the c530. he said no never because it was a matter of hardware. with the hacker conversation that would seem to not be true. i for one would be willing to pay (a reasonable amount) for a legal up grade from garmin.

I don't mean to make anyone mad by saying that nivu 350 has kicked butt and found everything I asked it for. (It has only let me down once when I swerved to miss debris in the road and nuvi thought I was on a service road next to the interstate.)

So, I've been attempting to learn the source of the categories such as Food, Lodging, Fuel, etc.

I just pulled out my antique but-still-working-great Garmin GPS 12 which is great for field work. However, I'm getting a message that says my lithium memory backup battery (no wonder, after close to 10 years) is low. As the unit is sealed and the manual does not address changing this battery, sending it back to Garmin is the last resort. Anyone have any experience with this?

Does anybody know exacly what size the bmp icon is suppose to be Example 16x16 24x24 45x30

Is there a way to create a custom POI list for business contacts that I would like to stop by as I travel. Something that I could upload in a xls or csv format in bulk. Maybe 500 to 1000 contacts at a time? I thought I could do it with the NUVI 680, but I am having trouble tring to figure out how to start or what "template" to use if there is one? any suggestions?

I have read across this forum in regards to the mod connected to the 530.. I am understanding the message and following the directions for it.
Currently I am a mac user the steps are not working for me perhaps I am missing something

Thanks

I was wondering if the external mic is worth buying for the 680 and if anyone has had any experience with it.....sometimes the party I am talking to gets an echo........would an external mic help that?..........Dave

I have a number of custom POI files on my Nuvi 350 but only one "speedway stations" has a proximity alarm. How do I change the files so the others have it to?
Thanks

Mike L,

Here is another store that you can add to your Wawas csv file. I don't know the address, cause it isn't on their website yet (which is pretty sad that they can't even keep up). It is 24 and Gas

-77.646792,37.662339,Wawas," Richmond VA - Rt 288 and Broad ST
(24 Hrs - Gas)"

Does anyone know if the usb port on the c5xx models are usb1 or usb2? I believe it is 1 cause it takes so long to copy files from it, but not sure.

I've been off the site for a month or so.
WOW
A lot of changes, Ilike what I'm seeing.
Great job guys.

Just curious: Are there any meanings to those badges, e.g. windmill..., below our names? I have a windmill. What's next for me to strive for?
What're the maximum number of badges one can earn?
Just curious.

We've had alot of folks post their concerns about the portable units and the likelyhood that they could be hoisted by the criminal element but what about those in-dash contraptions?? Do they have security features built in to prevent this?? Anybody have a unit stolen?? What do the car dealerships provide info wise when they are promoting the sale?? Curious minds want to know!!

Hi all,

New to the forum - love it so far.
Just bought a Nuvi 680 and was pokin around and came across the airline post.

Thought it might be fun for people to post their max speed attained for braggin rights and all. Did a search for this kind of post and didn't find anything so I appologize in advance if this topic has been started already.

I'm going to the Pittsburgh area today so I will see if my MSN will have coverage and work for me.......I didn't realize till after I bought my Nuvi 680 that I did not live in the coverage area............Dave

So what are the TOP 10 must have POI files? I thought that would be a FAQ or something.
