So this forum... doesn't have a search? or a user control panel? How do you all find topics that you recently posted too or created and want to see the replys?

i was looking at another site and an interesting point came up. on garmin gps after a route is set it gives u a time of arrival. this fellow says when he crossed into a new time zone it didnt change. someone else added what happens when u go through two or three time zones. ive not taken my c530 into another time zone. does anyone have any feedback.

I'm heading out for a 900+ mile road trip this weekend...this is the first time I'll be using my Nuvi anywhere except in Chicago...
I'm headed to Louisiana...

Looks like I just got promoted to active user, so I'm off to grab the redlights poi, too...that might come in handy on this trip.

Wish me luck!

I have a Garmin 660. How do I get a warning that I am approaching a camera controlled zone?

Does Any one know what to do to change the csv format poi files to way points to upload into older units such as the the street pilot 2610 0r 2620 Thanks

I know custom POI's with phone numbers are unable to dial out except when saved as "Favorites" then the icon is enabled. I have been talking with Garmin Tech Support in their Software division about this issue. They are currently looking in resolving this issue and I will be notified (hopefully) by email when a solution comes available.

someone know where i can download Garmin® Offers Street Navigation for Asian Americans.

thankx

Do i need to have mapsource in order to embed a poi w/ an mp3? or could i do it manually. I am using GmapToGPX, is there a way that after i convert an address to gpx that i can insert a the mp3?

I just got a Garmin i5. Is there somewhere I can download construction zones and detours like you can with Streets and Trips for the computer?

Hi I am new to this group and i noticed the post about a person interested in motorcycle routes. Is it possible to actually record a route using a poi where the users would be directed to go with the POI?

Thanks

Thanks.

My son the boat owner, make that NEW boat owner as of last summer, knows he needs and wants a (marine) gps unit, but I'm trying to help him understand that he can't make do with a cheapie handheld. He travels locally enough to justify one for his vehicle too actually, if there is a unit which could do double-duty simply via loading more maps. Any suggestions out there for him? (he doesn't have time to come to any forums but I do, so I'll be his intermediate guy here!).

I've just added a new feature that lets you mark all topics as read. You can see a link to the new feature by clicking on "discussion" in the top menu.

If you're in a specific forum, it will mark all posts for that forum. If you're at the main discussion page (that shows all forums), it will mark all topics in all forums.

This week we are recognizing Mkahn and NickJr.

These two gentlemen are always ready to share their knowledge and experience with those that might need some help.

Every week it takes me longer to choose the contributor of the week, there are just so many people doing such great things. Thanks everyone:)

Miss Poi

I am new to GPS and have bought a Garmin C340. I would like to download new poi's but can't find anywhere it tells you how. I have download and install the POI loader from Garmin.

I thought that it would be cool to see what names people have given their GPS units and maybe why you named it such.

I named mine Sophia. I did this because there is a dumb movie called "How to lose a guy in 10 days" and in it the girl names the guys penis "Princess Sophia" and I thought that by giving it that name you emasculate this man...well the traditional Joke about man is that he always feel emasculated about asking for directions and well I ask the GPS unit for directions all the time. You get the idea =)

GPXtoPOI release notes as of 4/23/06
This program converts from GPX format to CSV format or vice versa. You can create waypoints in MapSource and then convert them to POI (CSV) files for download or sharing with others.
You can also convert POI (CSV) files that others have created, and then edit them in MapSource. Now that the Garmin POI loader supports GPX files, GPXtoPOI's most important role is CSV to GPX conversion.

Its not such a great feeling when you're looking at and expensive GPS unit on your dash, useless b/c your car is dead as a doornail. But alas, it redeems its worth when I get the number to the nearest towing service and I don't have to throw money out the window by calling 411. I love you Garmin C330. I think I shall name you Mary Poppins.
