Welcome / open talk

hi all, anybody loading magellan maestro 4040 for red light cameras?.. Does it work?..How about those icons and voice alerts like garmin users did?..This is my first GPS and still learning, thanks.

Micro Center (www.microcenter.com) has a 2GB Flash Card (Item # 932392) for $15.99 each online. No Rebates Necessary. I have used their house brand flash cards and flash drives for years with No Problems. They also have a 1GB Flash Card (Item # 602920) for $9.99 each online.

I received an extra charger when I bought a dash mount on eBay and was wondering if I can somehow hard wire it into the fuse box or something. I know people do it with radar detectors and ipod setups. Is there a writeup anywhere on how to DIY this?
In a related question, do most people generally leave their unit plugged in most the time or go on battery power and only plug it to charge?

I just found a new release from Garmin for the nuvi 350 - v4.6

Ok, well now that we have the hilton project done its time to move on to a Marriott project!

http://marriott.com/hotel-search.mi

That page has a list of states for all marriott brands and then we can pick states and go from there...this one I am going to need a lot of help with!

States:
WA- msgreenf - Completed
OR- msgreenf - Completed
CA- sasins - Completed

This week we are recognizing Bobkz and Msgreenf with an honorable mention going to Summermug.

Bobkz, the motivation and drive that you instilled in all of us this week with your new auto mechanic file was fabulous.

Msgreenf, you are a POI File producing machine;) You create files that are fun and exciting, great job.

My Garmin nuvi 680 seems to work better when my cell phone is off. My cell phone has a built in GPS receiver. A friend thinks that there may be some sort of signal interference from the satellites. Is there some way to change the channel of my Garmin so that it will work better around my cell phone?

thx,
Jen

I want to wish all our GPS moms a very Happy Mother's Day !!!

How do I add a red light or camera ICON to show up on my ZUMO 550 when a red light camera is near

Has anyone figured out how to see what an icon is when it is partially hidden behind another one? I have several that are on top of each other and I can never get the descr, even with a stylus.

Some people are working on Volvo Dealers (USA-In Progress), but have furnished me with .gpx files and I don't have a clue how to convert them to .cvs files. I know "poiedit" will do that, but can't to seem to work my way through it.

I purchased the C330 for my husband for his birthday. I am now traveling away from home and am using his C330 until I purchase one for my car. I noticed that the preset POIs in the GPS are old. The places that are listed are no longer even there. Is there a way to remove them?

I have a Garmin 530. When the base is attached to the ball of the suction mount, it appears to be loose on the ball. The base just pivots down without any pressure. Is there anyway to fix this? thanks

I called Garmin technical support to find out how to change my vehicle icon and the man mentioned something about playing video on me 680. Does anyone know what I need to do to play video files?

thx,
Jen

Attention shoppers: PC Richard & Son has SanDisk 2GB SD Digital Memory cards, item # SDSDB2048, for $24.95 + tax after a $25 instant rebate (regular price $49.97). The sale runs for 3 days starting today, Saturday, 5/12.

You could probably do better online, but if you don't want to wait then here's your chance to pick up some extra memory.

My Garmin 680 has food listings built in, but there's no rating. I enjoy eating at places where the locals frequent. Does anyone know if there's a POI for local favorites in various U.S. cities?

Thx,
Jen

Be careful using the POI file for Smokey Bones. A large amount have closed this week with more to come. Darden has pulled the plug.
