Back again.

So used in using TomTom.

Having installed the latest updates of Cyclops. Although the Garmin alerts if when in a 'safety camera zone'.

Can it show the actual location of the Safety camera location as with TomTom.

Also as I found with TomTom not all locations are listed/alerted, with TomTom I could add a camera location to my device and built up extra locations.

How with Garmin.

thanks

Trying to set-up my sons Garmin for Canada and UK, where I normally use my TomTom.

Wanting to download various POI's for Red light camera's, Petrol stations, Supermarkets and many more.

But looking on 'GPS POI File' website for Garmin, there are several formats ie: Garmin POI BMP, Garmin POI CSV, and Garmin POI GPX to display when nearby etc as on TomTom.

Which one should be used for the nuvi 760.

thanks

I have unlocked and selected which areas of 2 downloads.

Shortly shall be travelling to British Columbia and Alberta.

Previously I've used my TomTom and found it sluggish.

So this time I'm trying my son's NUVI 760 with a SD card.

Can anyone suggest which map I need to mount on a sd card as I am totally a novice with Garmin having used TomTom.

thanks

If you have an old Garmin Nuvi, it has a built in MP3 Player.

However, you can only have 1,000 max MP3 files.

Solution: Use some free software to do an "MP3 merge" of the songs on an album.

If there are 10 songs on an album you will get 1 larger MP3 file with the 10 songs in it.

Put this new larger file on your Garmin thinks you only have 1 song, not ...

Hi Guys,

I got a zumo 660 that had System Software Missing message.
I used Kunixs cure 3 to get it in Mass Storage mode and deleted all the files that could cause the problem, disconnected the device from the computer to flash the original firmware.
Then start the problem...
Insted of flash the firmware it is behaving like a pen drive. I can not get the firmware running, because it connects to the computer ...

Garmin has made some sort of update to their latest firmware for their marine units.

Charts that USED to work and be unlocked (by various methods), now show as expiring in a certain time frame.

That means I can't update my chartplotter without locking up my charts.

Anyone have any "fix" for this latest problem?

Another one for the brains trust. Drivesmart 61LMT-S will not keep unlocked maps installed on the SD card selected following a restart. I have a topo map which is too large for the device that I wish to use all the time from the SD Card but the issue means that everytime the device starts, no maps are selected (blank screen) until I go back in and re-select it. This occurs everytime the device restarts. ...
