route calculation error on 885T

I have a nuvi 885T and recently started getting a "Route Calculation Error". Everytime I enter a location the unit starts the route calculation but always ends with the error. I have called Garmin and they walked me through a reset procedure, that did not fix the problem. All maps and firmware are up to date. Any ideas on how to fix the issue?

Photo Navigation

What is photo navigation and what is the benifit in using it? (Garmin 2360 LMT)

Blah (765T is toast)

Seems my 765T is toast. Works through the car plug but doesn't show the battery meter. I think it did before? Plug it into the puter and all i get is Garmin logo and then white screen, back and forth for 5 minutes or so, then goes black. Disconnect the battery I get nothing. 2460

Importing existing waypoints to Audi Navigation system

I have Garmin GPS devices and recently acquired an Audi with a built in Nav system. Does anyone know of a method to import my existing waypoints into their system? The dealer was not aware of any and the manual did not discuss this topic. The system does have an available hard drive with 40 gb memory so storage is not a problem.

Nuvi 1390t Accuracy vs. Google Maps

This subject has probably been beat to death... I will apologize upfront if it has... I just purchased the nuvi 1390t about a week ago. I still have my 255w which is a great unit... in fact, I love all my nuvi's.

OpenStreetMap with topography contours

I'm a big fan of OpenStreetMap, and have found that it often contains more detailed data in many areas. The big drawback seems to be street numbering... street numbers are usually missing so you can't ask for a route from 123 Green Spring Lane to 456 Willow Grove Way. For that, you still need the Garmin map.

Customizable Maps?

Is there anyway to customize a Garmin map? For instance, there is a local bridge that is one of the main traffic arteries in our area. The bridge is under construction for the next 2 years. How can I customize my map so that this bridge is avoided and routes are properly calculated?

Retarded

I swear my 855 is retarded, of the many quirks it has it gave me a new one yesterday. I turned it on and couldn't get the touch screen to work, voice commands worked fine. Went through the procedure to calibrate the touch screen, the calibration screen wouldn't come up but when it finished booting, the touch screen worked.

Out of Space for New Update for the Garmin 650

I received the email that a new update (NT 2011.40) is available. I guess, the map has grown in size so that it will no longer fits on the Garmin 650. According to the directions it will be possible to store map data on my SD card. Currently, I am downloading directly to the Garmin 650, so I will try loading to the SD card later.

Garmin Nuvi650 - Morehead City, NC

Whats the best way to swap files from one Nuvi 660 to another?

I have 2 Garmin Nuvi 660's one has updated maps and the other doesn't. One also has the main splash screen with the name of the company that owned it previous to me. It does not have the splash screen files to ad or change it. So I want to delete and transfer one to another. What do I have to do?
