Welcome / open talk

garmin sent me an e-mail that there is an update to correct daylight savings on the c 340

Just bought a new Garmin Nuvi 370. Absolutely love it. It has all the North America maps as well as full European ones, FM traffic receiver, bluetooth...

Any other users with the same Nuvi series? I'm just learning the POI stuff and found this site.

Thanks

I have a '06 Mini Cooper and trying to find a good location for my c550. I've tried mounting it on the speedometer (with the mount that comes from Garmin, FYI… the speedometer is in the center of the dash between the driver and passenger). It works great but can't see the clock or the mileage. Tried a Ram Mount on the windshield, it makes seeing the road difficult. Any ideas?

My boss said she read in the Wall Street Journal that there has been damage to car batteries from the drain caused by the mobile gps units.

I've been unable to find any information confirming this.

Has anyone heard of this happening?

I'd like to get one for my office team. We'd be using this (Garmin Streetpilot 530) in the company vehicles as well as our own personal ones.

thanks,

Ok, most of my travel is due to business. Here is what I want to know from other members. When on the road, how much do you use the GPS to find POIs near you, to find the clients' offices (do you have backup directions?), and such?

What else is in your arsenal for travel? If I am driving (which is the majority of the time) I always have what is listed in my signature.

Garmin is pleased to announce that new software is available for the STPc340,Am.

The new software is: StreetPilot c340 Ver. 3.90
Changes made from version 3.70 to 3.90:

* Updated for United States Daylight Saving Time change

We continue to see more visitors each week, and last week we briefly bumped up against a space limitation on our main database. There's also been some strange behavior and server time-outs at busier times of the day.

So today, I initiated the process to get a dedicated server for POI Factory. Hopefully, in a week or so, I'll be able to move the site to its new "home"

Sorry, this is my first post

I have a Garmin Nuvi 350.

Anyone have any recommendations for POI's or anything else?

Nice to meet everyone!

This week we are recognizing Lsmonop and Rzerr. We are also giving honorable mentions to 5thumbs and Bobkz.

Lsmonop your ability to help people problem solve is really cool and appreciated.

Rzerr was a 3 week lurker and sprung into action this week, producing file after file. Great Job!!

What do the icons under users names mean? I see that some have them and some don't.

I can't find any motel POIs when I search. Anyone know of any?

Does anyone know what the WAAS setting means in the Garmin I5? Is it any better than the normal satellite setting or worse?
Thanks

Hello All!

New to the site. Just upgraded to the Garmin 7200. In familiarizing myself with the unit I decided I should become familiar with POIs. After looking around for a bit I decided I liked the overall feel of this site the best and joined.

Hi everyone

Hey, I am pretty new to the GPS world, but as I did with the radar detector world, I am becoming very familiar with it. Still have a lot of questions, but I truly like this site.

I got the c530 just a week ago because I was in an accident looking at the mapquest paper directions and for the street. I do a lot of business travel so I got it.

I'm a gps newbie and am having some difficultly removing a list of custom POI's that I uploaded. I downloaded the beta poi installer 2.4.0.1 but it does not give me the option to delete which is what I found in other threads. Any help? Thank you!

When will I be able to download the red light cameras file. I have done all that is required to become an active member but am still unable to download.
Any Advice ??

Thanks

Hi,
Does anyone know how to convert a GPX file to a CSV file so I can download it into my Garmin I5?
Thanks

Not knowing what to expect from my gps unit, I happenchanced across this forum. This is my 1st post of many to come. Thanks for having me.

I was wondering about the possibility of creating a POI File of Forest Fire Lookout Towers. I am kind of testing the water here to see if anyone thinks there would be any interest in something like this. I know that my wife, two sons, and I like to climb the fire towers in the Minnesota State Parks when we go camping each year.
