Garmin Nuvi 760 Cracked Screen Replacement
I loaned out my Nuvi 760 only to have it returned with a non-operational touch screen (video worked) due to a cracked screen. Ebay has several companies that offer replacement touch screens for the 760 - I choose the unit WITH the frame and tools - this was a perfect choice because detaching the frame from the screen would be a nightmare....

Garmin Clearance Sale
Just found that Target has several models on clearance. I picked up a couple 255W's for my 2 Jeeps for $49.98 each. If you need a cheap unit for your toys, you might want to see what your local store has in stock.

EcoRoute
I looked at some post on eoroute but havent seen what I am looking for. Yhis is for those who have set up the function and using it.
I did my initial setup- price per gallon, city mileage and highway consumption.
next I am "At the Pump" setting.
1. Fuel price - this is straight forward
2. Fuel used - I guess this is the amount of gallons consumed.

Problems with Garmin Communicator on Mac
Is anyone else having problems installing this?
I try, it seems to install, and then when I go to the web page it complains that Garmin Communicator wasn't found.
I've been chatting with Garmin about it and they've said:
- make sure Mac is in 32-bit mode (it is)
- make sure Safari is in 32-bit mode (it is, but I don't remember having to fool with this on previous versions)

Excessive Traffic Data?
You can clear the trip log to get rid of excess files. Are there any excess data when you receive traffic information over weeks and months? I am trying to figure out if the new data overrides the older ones or are they stored. If the data is stored how can we erase it to free up space?

Downloading
Is there anything I should know about downloading red light camera files? I have done it in the past w/ windows 2005, I know have Windows 7 and a new nuvi 1350 LTM and cant seem to see it downloading when following the instructions. It says to "save " instead of open is this correct? When I save it just downloads the Excel sheet and doesn't open the poi loader. Help!

1490 LT had problems with Bluetooth using Blackberry
I occasionally have my Blackberry connected to my GPS for hands free talking. Last week when I got it connected, I could not get rid of the symbol in the corner of the GPS that meant I was using the phone.
When I tapped that, one of the options is to HangUp. This didn't work.
Hanging up my Blackberry by pressing the red phone didn't work either.

nuLink
I was looking to buy a Nuvi 1690 as a second unit primarly for the nuLink feature but found out that a Canadian unit will not work in the US and a US unit will not work in Canada. A rather stupid setup for a device thats made for traveling if you ask me. We live one hour from the US Canada border and make several day and weekend trips to the US. We also drive to Florida at least once a year.
