Any Linux users around ?
I know most of us have Windows on our PCs, and I've seen a few comments from Mac users.
My question is, do we have Linux users in our group ?
I'll officially announce it: I run Ubuntu 64-bit on my home machine, and Ubuntu 32-bit on my netbook. Currently running 10.10, but that's going to change as soon as the next reelase comes out ![]()
Anybody else in the same crowd ?

Nuvi 7x0 firmware 5.1
So I saw today that the Nuvi 7XX has a new firmware release.
I made the mistake of downloading it on to my Nuvi 760.
Now the unit just shuts-off about 10 seconds after turning on the unit. When plugged into the power cradle the unit remains powered but hangs-up and accepts no inputs after about 10 seconds.
I reloaded the software again via Web Updater. Still, same thing.

Why wont my Garmin 660 recognize mp3 sounds that I downloaded?
I had downloaded speed/red light cameras from Trapster. I went and downloaded sounds in mp3 format from POI factory. I followed the directions from POI loader nameing the mp3 files the same as the POI files with the exception of the file extensions, ie: mp3 versus gpi. My unit picks up on the cameras poi's but wont play the mp3 sounds. What did I do wrong?

2360lmt again
Which one now? My 765T is busted and I'm toying with getting the 2350 or the 2360. I don't need blue tooth in any event. What I didn't find in here was how well the dual-orientation and Voice-activated navigation works on the 2360. Just wondering if the extra $40 or so is worth it?
Thanks

Store Manual distance settings in Garmin POI Loader
Hi- Probably a dumb question! How can I get Garmins POI Loader 2.6.1.0 to remember the Distance settings when I use it in Manual mode - so I don't have to input the whole lot again next time I use it. Please make it simple!
Many thanks,

Garmin Issue - Favorites Displayed as Numbers
After a recent update many of my favorites on my Garmin 1350LMT are being displayed in a number format like 123.1. When I click on the "123.1" I see one of my favorites. I contacted Garmin and they simply told me to delete the numbers in my favorites. The problem with that is that this also deletes my favorites.

.vpm vs .sum file extentions
Does anyone know what a .sum file is? I have a couple of voices (when looking at my unit with a usb on the computer) that have two type extentions. Like English_American_.vpm and english_american_.sum
I have no idea what I did to accomplish this feat. The question can/should I delete the .sum versions? Most of all the other voices have only .vpm

Garmin nuvi 255W replacement
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.

Garmin Vehicle bundles
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.

Garmin 265WT GPS Audio alert? (over speed limit)
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?








Junction view
How often does Garmin add to or update things like junction view?I live in Knoxville, TN, have a 1690 and everything works great except junction view is apparently not avaiable here. Does anyone know if that feature will be added eventually?
