Magellan talk

This Magellan unit has routable street maps but I do not see any way to load a custom POI. There is a directory on the unit called ./Custom_POI

I was wondering if I am missing something or if this unit just doesn't do user defined POIs

This looks sort of interesting.....

Don't know anything about Magellan but if any one is looking for one the BigLots in Fort Worth have this in today's ad:

Factory Reconditioned Magellan Roadmate 5" GPS $79

have a magellon 9165T how can I add poi's from this site?

Hello,

I want to transfer POI files into my Magellan Maestro 4040. This GPS device is pretty old, I do not have the CD software that allows me to transfer POI files into the device. The Magellan website does not support these software for users to download. What should I do? Where can I download Magellan POI File Editor?

FYI

New Magellan RoadMate GPS units navigate by landmarks, steer clear of pesky traffic cameras

I created a major problem with my Magellan 4350. I accidently deleted the OS software from the unit. I contacted CSR @ magellan who advised me that I could use the contact manager to update the sofware but since I deleted the OS the unit can not be recognized. Does anybody know where I might be able to get a SD card with the OS software and map software so I can just re-install it via the SD card?

Multiple searches on google and here seem to indicate that there is no way to upload poi files to the Roadmate 1700.

Looking at the "content manager" seems to show that it is only usable for magellan proprietary content such as purchased maps.

Does anyone have any tips on how to upload poi information to these units?

Thanks in advance,
Beverly Howard

I saved a new custom POI to the memory card. Turned on GPS and clicked Enhanced POI and it works fine. Does anyone know if those are stored on the GPS unit for future use or do I need to keep the Memory card installed. The GPS is an office GPS and I dont want to leave my Memory card in the GPS Unit.

Is there anybody who has a Magellan GPS unit working with a rearview camera? I got the RoadMate 9055-LM, but am not able to get it to switch to my video input. I called their tech support and they said that the only thing they can guarantee is that the units work with their own wireless cameras, not with any others. I know that the camera works because I can output it to a TV.

I just acquired a Road Mate 3120 unit, but it didn't come with any of the POI Editor software mentioned by others discussing installing POIs into their Magellan GPSs.

Is there a place where a step-by-step for neophites might be listed that will work with my unit?

Thanks,
Bob

I just joined this site. I would like to download the low clearance file to our Magellan 3045 LMT GPS unit.

How is one to do this?

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Anyone know when are new magellan 2011 maps coming out?

My Magellan Roadmate 3065 arrived with serious logic flaws and I returned it. I am now considering a Roadmate 3045 or 3055. Can I download POI red light camera files to these units?

Can red light camera files be download to my Roadmate 3065?

Just purchased this unit.The magellan web Help? is not much use it seems.
The unit has a mini-SD slot..there is no reference to it in the manual.What is the value ie,.can it be used like one on the Garmin units.

I like the large size but I cannot convert any of the poi's on this site to run on it.
