POI Verifier - Application cannot be started

I have attempted to download the POI Verifier program but seem to have a glitch somewhere. After setup.exe starts running a message comes up and states ...."Application cannot be started - contact the application vendor". Has anyone got any ideas about what I might need to do to correct this.

Thank you ..........

Hello JM and Maryann,

Problems updating Firmware on Kna-G510

I was going to buy an SD card for my navigation unit (kna-g510) however I recently found out I can just take my laptop out to my car and connect to the hideaway unit via USB.

I have successfully loaded custom POIs, however I am unable to have the garmin unit recognize the firmware update.

Garmin’s website says to:
(http://www.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=1477)

Site updates

The site will be shutdown Wednesday morning (March 7th) for maintenance from about 11 am to 1 pm Eastern (8 am - 10 am Pacific).

Downloading Data From FCC Webpage and Creating Favorites or Custom POIs

I was wondering is it would be possible to use MapSource and the FCC Webpage and have it create maps with locations from the FCC webpage?

Expecting my Garmin C550

Just ordered one and will get it before Friday. I have been reading manuals and websites on GPS all day!

So excited!

btw, how can I find a red light camera by eyes?

Creating a New Car and Voice.

Before I start tearing open the Vechile and Voice files. I am wondering if anyone here created there own vewrsion of each. I am sure there is a way. I have a mini Van and want to have a car that looks like that. Also would like to change the voice sound.

Any ideas?

Mio 310x Antenna

Is getting an antenna for my GPS useful at all. It takes around 30 to 45 seconds to find the satelites and calculates my house and destinations between 15 and 75 yards off. Is this typical? Would I get much better results with an antenna?

Contributors of the Week 2007-02-28

This week we are recognizing 5thumbs and Lsmonop.

They both did outstanding stuff here last week.

Sorry I was late getting this up, our 3 year old has a nasty cold and yesterday was just a mommy cuddle all day type of day.

Suction cup destroyed

My Garmin C330 was mounted on the windshield for a little over 2 months. When I went to remove it in order to transfer my GPS to another car, I left a lot of the cup on the windshield and the the cup doesn't work any more. Garmin (God bless 'em) are sending me another cup and complete holder - gratis!

Speed Alerts for the c530

Is there away to alert you if your traviling to fast on a specific Freeway? The TomTom One I belive does that. Would like to know if you can program the unit to alert you if your traviling to fast.
