Fixed an error that caused audio and Bluetooth features to not function unless the unit was restarted.

Has anyone seen a POI for Fleet Farm stores?

I just downloaded Costco POI's and I found some mistakes in it. I did some checking from Costco's website and found several gas stastions not listed in the POI. How can I edit my csv POI file to correct the mistakes? I use openoffice to view the POI's.

I broke my 465t called garmin they shipped new one in three days. Before I had a chance to ship old one gotto love good service

Has anyone purchased and used Garmin's ecoRoute HD which hooks up to your cars engine computer and send info to certain Garmin units with bluetooth. It will read engine codes to what your driving habits are. It is another version of what another thread about insurance companies is talking about but does much more.

I just joined this forum although I've been exploring it as a guest for a while. My focus is fishing and I am starting a company selling Garmin GPI Custom POI's for fishermen in Pennsylvania with some success.

Does anyone know of any other fishing specific POI's anywhere in the US covering large areas?

Anyone know of a POI for Ford Dealers? Someone started one some time ago but never finished it.

just to remind everyone old & new friends that my Garmin vehicles can be downloaded at"

I've got a Nuvi 880 which I have been very happy with. It just started a new trick. When I turned it on last month, it began speaking in Afrikaans rather than the usual English. I pulled over and looked and English wasn't available. Fortunately was able to select French which I understand well enough to get to my destination.

Does anyone know what the cost of a lifetime map for the 3790T is costing.

Using my Garmin 3760, WebUpdater offered the following update -

Database for FM Traffic Providers:
Changes from version 2.50 to version 2.70:
• Fix traffic reception in Vladivostok, Russia
• Add support for traffic reception in Argentina and Brazil
• Add support for Decell (Israel)
• Add support for TrafficNav (Bulgaria)

I found an interesting tid bit on my 1490T. I wanted to see motels past a certain city on my current route. I had programmed the city I planned to stop at and requested hotels near on my current route. I only got a few hotel/motel listings. On a thought I checked how far the city I wanted to stop near was from my current location.

...get my wife's Garmin to take the long way home!

No, I'm not crazy...well...any less crazy *grins*

My wife loves the Jack voice and so thanks to the TTS voice editor program, I changed "recalculating" to "You're not listening to me Kathy! I thought it was only men who didn't stop for directions. Let's go this way"

I thought there was a thread somewhere on this site regarding how to add maps to your Garmin, but cannot find it. I have downloaded a map file (.img) for use in Batam, Indonesia, where I am going to visit this coming June. The author's instructions were to copy the file to the garmin directory, but this doesn't cause the map to be displayed in my unit.

i was told by Garmin that once you do an update in firmware you cannot revert back to previous version. THAT IS NOT A TRUE STATEMENT
I did a reverse firm ware from 4.90 TO 4.80 on my NUVI 760
because of continuous locking up problems { approx 10 in 30 minutes}

i went to: http://www.gawisp.com/perry/nuvi/

Ok well it was refurbished, but still comes with the 1-yr. warranty! Such a deal I couldn't pass it up. My Nuvi 760 is still working great, but 4 years old now. How the prices have dropped! I believe I paid almost $400 for the 760....

I have a Garmin 760T that works perfectly but I just decided to upgrade (got a little break from Unca Dam... I mean Sam).

I did read the FAQ's, so I'm sorry if this has already been asked.

In short, I can't play MP3's.
The volume is up.

I have listened to pre-loaded files, but can't hear them anymore either. I hit the "Play" triangle, and the button turns into the 2 bar "Stop" button which would indicate the file is playing...but it isn't.

Iv'e added a few new poi's to my list of poi's which includes symbols for the display and the mp3 anouncements. I made sure all the files are the exact spelling except the file extensions, like I was told in a previous post. Now none of them seem to work or the alerts don't work.

I just opened mapsource, opened current.gpx from my 255W, saved it to my hard drive. Then, while still in Mapsource, switched to a different 255W and saved as current.gpx. I had already deleted the existing file on the 2nd gps.

Now it seems I have 2 of everything. How can I clear out the old file properly?
