Welcome / open talk

Was wondering, Is there a easy was to break down some of the poi files..

What I am trying to do is not have some of the files so big since I wont need all the areas, I am looking for just New York area and surrounding states. That will make all the files smaller.

However, I am not sure what the longitude and latitude would be.

I have been participating in some discussions on another GPS related site, and have found one ongoing discussion and started a new discussion that may be of interest to the users of Microsoft Street's and Trips (S&T) on laptops while driving and the users and participants of this site.

Received email today re: nuvi 350 DST software update. They say..............
"The DST update for the 350 should be coming out shortly, because we are adding more than just the DST update this update is taking a little while to come out."

on my c330 should the gps mode be set to normal or waas/egnos?????

Hello...I am Old Dood and I am a new dood to the GPS world and this site. I am really into gadgets and this little Nuvi 350 is pretty sweet. I am a married guy with two kids and I travel to work about 150 miles a day. I have been waiting for a small pocket sized fairly priced GPS unit for sometime now. This Nuvi 350 is really pretty neat.

Hi everyone. Just curious if anyone knows about how much space all of Europe would take on an SD card. I know that North America takes about 1 gig, but how about Europe? Thanks.

This week we are recognizing Mahoney and mkahn.

Mahoney has been doing a great job capturing all of those lighthouse locations.

mkahn you are loyal and very helpful member of our Poi factory team, I can't express how much we enjoy having you here.

I wanted to share some numbers with you this week..

I'm already using the red light camera POI and it's great addition to my C550, but I'm also interested on Wifi spots.

Thanks,

I have recently transfered my phone book to my nuvi 310 from my Sharp GX17 phone, I sent one entry at a time via blue tooth but I find that some of the entry's have not come out as I expected. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to edit the phone book or delete entry's on the nuvi?

thank you for any help

What I noticed recently is that some folks don't provide a description with there POI files. For some of us in other parts of the country that occasionally travel, it would be helpful if there was a description, location, if it's complete or a work in progress etc. Just some helpful info that would explain what and where it is.

Had anyone started having major problems with the bluetooth working properly since last outdate? Mine is now freezing, not always linking with my phone, randoming reading old text messages, over all weird things with the bluetooth (weird ringing with incoming calls, no sound)?

Any suggestions on how to correct?

With the new POI-Factory software, I do not seem to be able to use the "user list" to find all members of this site. The old interface would provide screens with all of the members but the new one seems to only show one page with limited members. Am I missing something?

Being new to all this how can I list more than one POI file on the C550 under extras? I downloaded one file and loaded it onto my C550. I downloaded another file but when loaded onto my C550 it erased the first POI. Am I doing something wrong?????

we have 24 hour fitness locations Southern California in POI files. HOw about 24 hour fitness locations Northern California?? Thanks

I recently bought a Garmin 330 Streetpilot and am very happy with it. Is there any way of getting marine maps onto this unit. Everything I can find is incompatible and I'd like to use it for fishing too.

Does anyone know if there is a way to transfer favorites from a C330 to a C550?????? Just got the C550
I have a lot of favorites in the C330. I own a small limo Company... Thanks.

I just downloaded a POI...campgrounds to my computer. I put it on the desktop. However, when I try to use the Garmin program to transfer it to my gps, it cannot find it on my computer. I click on browse, but it does not show up as being on my desktop. It is in Excel, and for some reason does not recognize it. How do I transfer it to my gps?

Is there a way to add or change my POI list in my 60CS? I tried to d/l the POI Loader, but when I tell it to find my GPS it can't find it... is it too old or is there another way?

Thanks for the help.

Hey there forum,

I was very excited to get my c320 earlier this week and did some test driving on that very same night. I live in a wooded area in San Francisco so I had to drive around a bit to get satelite reception. It did fairly well on the first evening, not exactly the routes that I would normally take, but for night driving (no traffic) it got the job done fine.

A few minutes ago, orclark811 registered as POI Factory user number 10,000. We don't have any balloons to drop from the top of the page, but Miss poi and I are very happy to be working with a growing community of friendly, helpful users.
