Garmin talk

Leaving tomorrow for Maui. Will be renting a minivan and bringing my Nvui 765T. Staying at Kaanapali.

Any tips, suggestions, advice from those who visited recently? Anyone drove up Haleakala or the Hana highway? Children friendly restaurants? Must see sights?

Hi Everyone:

I've downloaded the Orchard Supply Hardware POI and have gotten the BMP logo file, but can't find an MP3 file. Does anyone have one?

Thanks

I haven't looked very hard, but I haven't noticed that when in a route with multiple via points (temporary stops), that the route list shows the ETA to the via points.

Have I missed it or does the nuvi not provide that information like my old SP2610 does?

Each time I plug my nuvi 3790T in to my laptop (running Windows 7 Professional, with all the latest updates and drivers) a screen pops up that says:
"Do you want to scan and fix Garmin nuvi (H:)?"
"There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc. This can happen if you remove the device or disc before all files have been written to it."
It then gives me two options:

I just purchased my first navigator. Great machine but would like to have a couple of different voices on it.Downloaded Yoda from pigtones, plus the downloader.Voice would not play. Any suggestions where I went wrong.Keeps saying could't find extension???

One thing during my travels I have found the internal poi's have came in handy.I would be first to say that a custom poi file may be closer to having all the locations.Not sure based on my experience on this trip of them being more accurate.For example I have used the parking tab for the internal pois to get me to many of the casino parking areas.Not being familiar with the area.I like being able

While driving to SEATAC Airport in Seattle Washington from Bellevue, using the Australian Lee voice, I noticed every time the unit tried to tell me to get on WA 405 it would tell me to take Western Australia. Continue on Western Australia ??? Maybe my garmin Australian voice was getting home sick????

On my last trip from Chicago IL to columbus OH my Street Pilot did some strange things it had never done before. The last map update is 2010.1.

Three times it zoomed WAAAAAAAAY OUT. This happened when a new waypoint at some distance was the next waypoint. But it has never zoomed that far out before.

Someone please explain to me how the little traffic delay number in the upper left hand corner of my Garmin 255 wt works. Do you add the delay time to your ETA on the screen or is it already added in? Today for example I am driving on the Kennedy Expressway in Chicago and the delay is around 25-30 minutes pretty normal for Chicago on a Monday morning.

Is the subscription to traffic updates worth the price? And does anyone know how much it costs?

I have had my new 3790t for a week and have a question: In Voice Command Mode how do I get results (like a Starbucks or Cracker Barrel) that are on (or close proximity to) my current route? Right now it gives me all options and I speak one, but I do not know if the one selected is on my route. I can do it manually, just really want to use Voice Command and not push buttons while driving.

I have toll roads on my avoidance list. Living in the SE Seattle area this is no big deal since there are very few.

I was returning home from NW Washington (Port Angeles area)and wanted to use the Tacoma Narrows bridge. There is a toll going this direction.

The Nuvi's first choice was a route through Olympia 60 miles out of the way.

Is it possible to show the distance remaining to destination in place of the estimated time at destination? Would make more sense as the ETA is based on so many variables. As an aside how does the Nuvi 1300 series calculate the estimated time of arrival?

I knew this was going to happen. With the new (improved?) update method from Garmin and the lack of the .exe file being available, I've lost European Junction View on my 755t's SD card.

I've had a Nuvi 1450 for several weeks and for the first time I had the opportunity to see Junction View in action. It was totally cool, BUT I don't much care for its implementation.

Hi All
I am trying to get photos alongside favourites in a GPX file I created and I cant understand why it isnt working
Due to the fact E63 wont show phonebook on the 1490 I have setup my contacts as waypoints and would like to include the photos

here's my situtation. Ever since hooking up the Ecoroute HD I have had nothing but trouble with my 1490T. The HD screwed up the thing so bad that the Eco Challenge and Mileage Calculations became all but useless.

I'm thinking I've seen images of a nuvi with a top line reverse red video custom POI alert.

Can any nuvi do this? My alerts are black rectangles in the top half of the screen with hard to read letters.

If so, I haven't seen this process spelled out so I can learn how to make my 1690 do this.

Got my first moving violation in 20+ years last May. NOT happy. Cop says School Zone lights were on. I don't believe that (3:45pm!) but what does that matter? The city is short on cash and has raised the School Zone speeding fine to $200 + court costs ($49).

Now that I've got the Europe map (microSD) for my Nuvi 260, I got to wondering if I could import that data into MapSource for use on the PC.

Tried the obvious (transfer from GPS) by checking maps on GPS, only to be told "no data".

Any simple way to do this?
