Garmin talk

Hello,

I hope someone will tell me which is the preferred option when installing the Red Light, Speed, and REst Stop pois onto my nuvi.

When I selected the Custom mode, I realized that I did not understand what I was supposed to do next for the rest stop poi. So, I elected Express Mode as my default.

I have a 265W and have discovered that the pre-programmed alerts don't seem to be working. Alerts such as "external power lost", "battery power low" and "recalculating". The text to speech directions work fine as do my custom POI alerts (although those are custom wav files).

This apparently applies to the GTM 35 which ships with the nuvi 37xx series.
Direct link not yet available but get you can easily get it via WebUpdater or myDashboard.

* Changes from version 2.80 to version 2.90:
Improve preference for premium traffic service.
Fixed lockup that could result in grey traffic icon being displayed on PND.

* Changes from version 2.60 to version 2.80:

Dear Friends,

Any help regarding this issue will be appreciated.

In other threads people have posted that they have changed some of the pre-programmed phrases in their Garmin GPS' using the neat program TTS Voice Editor by TurboCCC.

Nearly everyone who makes changes nearly always changes that one most annoying phrase "Recalculating". That was the first one I changed too.

So far I have changed three.

Hello Everyone,

Does any one know if there is any way to adjust the speed of the simulation mode in the Garmin unit? I am testing some POIs I loaded and wanted to see if/how they appear along the route, so speeding up/pausing the simulation would be helpful.

Thanks,
Alex

Does anyone know if it is possible to edit the coordinates of favorites on the Garmin 265wt? I downloaded a location from Google Maps complete with phone number and descriptive information. However, I can tell from the map the the coordinates a wrong by 1/2 mile as the crow flies. I'd like to just edit those coordinates rather than create a new location from scratch and import it into the GPS.

Does anyone know if there is a map source for Lebanon? I looked on the Garmin site but no luck

I've been dragging location and family photos from my PC to my Garmin and realized that there is no need to use large filesize pics to display photos on my Garmin.

The Garmin screen is 4" by 2.2".

I edited my 12 MP photos that are about 5 MB in filesize (jpg) and scaled them down to 4"x 2.2" in imagesize and changed the resolution from 300 dpi to 90 dpi.

I just purchased a GArmin 265WT and am paranoid about theft. I live near Newark, NJ. I realize that there are many precautions that I can take. But I read about this today and thought it may be useful to others.

I created a full screen size picture file (Photoshop) that says:

I have a few routes in my Garmin 1450 in "My Data" that I want to delete.

Then I go to Tools/MyData/Delete Selected Route(s), but when I press on "Delete Selected Route(s)" to select the route(s), it turns off my GPS. Certainly a bug!

I have contacted Garmin Support about this.

Anybody experiencing the same problem?

On my last trip across the US I found myself in a big problem.

Can you add pictures of google maps satelite view to nuvi 1200?

I have a nuvi 1200 and want to remove the pictures that came with it and add destination picture i want!how do i do that?

I got the same e-mail that almost everyone else here got last week, my 260 is in need of updated maps but can’t decide which one to get between the nüMaps Lifetime or nüMaps Onetime.

Hey all,

Going to Italy in a bit with my 265WT and pondering which of these guys is better - I'm planning on getting into some of the smaller towns - (Sienna, Montepulciano etc) and I do want the detailed coverage, but cant tell from the Garmin site if everything on Italy only is included in the full Europe database... Price difference is only 30 bucks (99 vs 69)..

the Bay Landing listing is incorrect for the Garmin GPS. Is there a way of correcting it. I haave a Nuvi 1350 that is new to us.

I keep some family photos (Jpg) on my Nuvi.

Some of these unedited photos are 3-5 MB in size.
I don't want to use up unnecessary space on my Nuvi with my photo collection. I don't need a 12 megapixel picture for viewing on my Garmin.I am willing to modify the filesize & resolution with Photoshop.
Rather than trial & error, perhaps someone knows the answer.

My question is:

I was sure this was answered before, no luck in finding it though. I noticed on my trip to Oregon how annoying the distance shown was. Why don't these figures match? An example is one of my favorites called Oregon Zoo. It tells me it's South from my place and 259.5 Miles from here. I click it and a little window behind the GO! button comes up and tells me it's 311.4 Miles plus other info.
