Garmin talk

I have a Garmin nuvi 255W. It pretty much does what I want to, because I don't have a daily commute, I live in a suburban area, and the traffic is light for the most part. I do travel occasionally for vacations, but that's it. A voice model and the POI's are most valuable to me.

Ok here is the skinny.,,

Does anyone know if it is possible to enlarge or how to get larger icons for a Garmin Nuvi 750? Even at full zoom, you can hardly see them.
Thanks for everyone here

I've got an issue I can't seem to find an answer to browsing the forums. Question....Do the vehicles have to be on the garmin devise itself to work? I't seem I'm out of room. I've added all the vehicles to my SD card but my unit doen't seem to find them. It only shows the 8 or 10 I've got on the devise itself. I have a Nuvi260W. I simply unziped the file and copied them to the sd card.

Is there some kind of Mod available that will make this Garmin 265WT to give you sound beep alert (As most of Tomtom unit does) when you drive over the specified speed limit?

Hey all,

I have a 760 that suddenly will not power up. It was on, I turned off the ignition, and received the countdown message before turning off. I was just going into a store, so I touched the button to keep it turned on.

I hope this is not adding a new thread to one that has already started. Does anyone understand why the new 4G that cell phones use can conflict with GPS operation? Or for that matter does it mess with GPS reception at all. I have been reading about it, but don't understand it

I just got a 1450 for a friend, and updated the maps for him. I have a 1490T. I noticed that the update was only for US and Canada, and did not include Mexico. That is not a problem, but I was curious, as my 1490T includes Mexico. Was this because I didn't delete enough voices before the update to include Mexico, or would it not have been there regardless?

The red light camera alerts, visual & audible, on my 660 work as expected. I should say worked as expected. The alerts work fine except if I'm using the media player. It used to be that the music stopped, the audible was played and then the music resumed. Now, the music stops, no audible alert and then the music resumes but on the next track.

Scratching my head.

Has anyone notice that when you set a location on your gps and drive to that location you find that the location is off since the Japan earthquake happen.

I've loaded Rest Stops Combined into my Nuvi1350 and I can't figure out how to turn on proximity alerts. Can someone please help.

Thanks

What exactly is the purpose of Tour Guides? Is it to create a larger area for alerts? I have a nuvi 255W, is it possible to create a Tour Guide or something that will take us on a tour, so to speak? If so, how does that work?

This is fun, I'm going to be hooked pretty soon!

Where can I find "harley davidson dealers usa" as a csv file for a zumo 550?
POI Factory has them only as a gpx file or how can a gpx be changed to a csv file?
A gpx files will only download to "favorites". I'd like them as either "extras" or "proximity points".
thanks

I just got back from a work related trip to Austin. After choosing a car at the rental facility I set up my Garmin and entered the address for the hotel which is about 30 minutes away from the airport. Driving down 71 the GPS told me to take an exit not more than a mile from the airport then reenter 71 at the next ramp.

Looking for the lowest price on Garmin Lifetime Map updates.

Brand new - Just received 3 days ago.

All the auto-routing works well as an automobile, but as Truck or RV, it is completely off.

Anyone have this same experience ??

I am new to all of this. I have just discovered how to download custom POIs from here to my Nuvi 255W. Is is possible to copy some of the icons here to the the map symbols existing on my GPS? Or how do I connect the new icons with existing locations?

Thanks!

Just downloaded the latest version of POI Loader and it can not convert .wav files to the proper format. Anyone know what the problem is? Would give you the version number but can not readily locate it.

How do I make an existing POI file a "TourGuide" file. Is it as simple as adding "TourGuide" somewhere in the file name?

Normally I install map updates on my PC, but they take space on the HD. I would assume I can remove some of these older updates without doing any harm... or what?
