Campgrounds
Tom, I'm also looking at the 750. Played a bit with one today and it only listed 1 campground around Calgary and we have half a dozen or more so I'm a little leary. Tons of hotels though. Maybe Garmin concentrates more on US POIs.
The site mentioned in the other reply has a downloadable list of Good Sam, I suspect it is the Trailer Life list but not sure.
Are you guys home yet?.../Doug
Hi Doug & Lynne.......
We didn't get to go south this past winter, and now with the high prices of diesel, we're not sure we'll be going anywhere this summer.
I checked my nuvi 750 for campgrounds around Calgary and at first didn't find any under "Lodging" POI's.
Then I searched using "Campground" and found four listed within 20 miles of Calgary.
They were Calaway Park CG, River Bend CG, Calgary West KOA CG, and Bow Riversedge CG. Then it listed four within 106 miles, and then five within 146 miles. I haven't learned all the features of the 750 yet, but we are pleased with the ease of using it.
There is POI Loader software available free to help install additional POI's for Garmin. Here's more info:

I just downloaded and installed a firmware update for the 750 and also an update to the Mapsource program yesterday. Very easy to do using "Webupdater" software that you download and install on your computer.
Cheers.........
