Welcome / open talk

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.

I just started doing POI's and used Yahoo on GPSV and it sent me a 1/2 mile away from the actual destination. I reloaded it using Google and had my GPS show me the map and it was dead on.

Here's the weird thing.

I am planning a trip from MA to see my daughter in NC. When I put in the destination the Nuvi plots a route right through NYC; through Brooklyn, over the G.Washington Bridge, etc. I hate driving through cities and want to plot a route to avoid the city all together. Is there a way to configure a route and load it into my GPS or am I stuck with what it dictates? Thanks.

Hello:

Just wanted to say hello to the group. My wife and I moved to the DFW area in January from Rhode Island due to a job transfer. We actually drove out here twice...once in my vehicle and then once again in hers once the house in RI sold. We used a Garmin c330 to get here the first time, and we liked it so much, we picked up a second c330 for her car for the second trip out.

I wish when I was in the Marine Corps, GPS was as good as it is today.. My Capt. wouldnt have got lost!!

LOL..

just wondering how your members for... work seems to be off.. just wondering.. Most likly I am missing something!

hi there! well if u guys could help me fid poi for school zones in indiana id appiciate it. then if u would tell me how to download id appriciate that more! c330

I've done two trips cross country with my nuvi360 one to Florida, and one to Georgia both originating in Texas. The nuvi managed the route great but the arrival time is messed up because of the time changes going and coming back. I'm surprised its not smart enough to figure this out??
