Garmin talk

Is there a hack to set Garmin Nuvi 350 to open with map automatically so I wouldn't have to tap on the screen each time I start the car? Garmin support people told me it can't be done, but has someone heard of a hack to do this?

Still being pretty new to the 1690 and also to the world of POIs, I have a few questions:

1) If I get a GPX POI file that includes prox alerts... and use the manual mode in POILoader to select the warning distance... which will take precedence? The built in distance or what I use during manual mode?

Hope the question makes sense.

I go to google maps and create a custom map. Then i go to send and there is no tab to send this map to my garmin? Do the same thing in Mapquest and the the tab shows up Hit send the transfer is done. Create the custom map in my garmin but when i preview the map it re organizes my custom map and takes a different route.

Costco.com has the Garmin 1690 on their website. Not a great price but it's Costco. JR(through Amazon) has the Garmin EcoRoute for $99.00. The $99.00 price is good until the end of the month.

i set up my route using Google Maps, and loaded it into my Garmin NUVI 1300 but i did it more than once, and i only need one of the maps, but i need to know which map i am deleting. how can i view the map without waiting so long is simulation mode?

I am trying to find a POI file for the cycle hire stations in London and would appreciate a lot if anybody could upload.
Many thanks!

Anyone having issues with getting the custom sounds to work with this nuvi for POI's? I have an 855 and it works fine, tried on my new 1690 and it does not work. Can anyone get it to work?

I have downloaded the FlyingJ POI using the Garmin POI loader. When done it says I have successfully added the POI file to the Gamin 650. When I travel I never see the POI on the GPS, so I am still using the road signs. Do I have to do something different to make the Flying J POI's show on the GPS maps? joesabeh@gmail.com

I see the Lifetime map updates on Amazon is currently $79.95.

From the threads I've seen, this is actually a pretty low price. I'm curious if the current price is the lowest anyone has seen or if it has gone lower? What's the lowest price the Lifetime Maps have ever been?

Thanks.

When I got a Nuvi 205 and did a One time update to NT 2010.10 my computer downloaded a file called Garmin_RMU_CNNANT2010C.exe, which installed the new map on the Nuvi 205 and it installed MapSource with the same version of map as the GPS unit onto my computer.

Does anyone know of a way to get the audio out from a Garmin Nuvi 265WT to a Chatterbox (wired not bluetooth) Motorcyle Intercom?

Anybody have this device? I realize that it is small screen, but that really isn't an issue for me. I'm sick of my Nuvi 855 dying on me, and am looking at this device (to keep the price down).

Just completed an 18 hundred mile trip. While on the trip, I noticed that on a number instances when coming back on to the Interstate from a fuel or rest stop, that my Garmin seemed confused. The map would show the proper route, and the proper way to turn. The voice direction would tell me to go in the opposite direction.

Has anyone else experienced this confussion?

Recently the Red Light camera warning have been going off and beeping while driving on the expressway. I'm getting warning for intersections while driving on the highway, this was not the case a few weeks back.
Has the proximity distance been changed on the red light camera file?

Has something changed with some recent firmware update, or do I have an impending problem?

Up until recently I could plug the 1490T into the computer starting with the unit off. It would boot up into file transfer mode. Now if I plug it in with the unit off, the Garmin screen flashes up, turns off and continues with the on off cycle infinitum.

The battery life on my Garmin 265w is about 2 hours. This seems kind of short. What are the lengths of some battery lifes for other users and their GPS's?

POI proximity alerts work fine in my Nuvi 750 as long as I am in the City Navigator mode. I also have Garmin Topo 2008 installed, and when I turn off City Navigator to go into the Topo mode I no longer get POI proximity alerts. Any idea why, or what can I do?

Thanks

I've recently acquired an inexpensive Nuvi 255W to replace my 250W (I wanted the TTS). I've just been adding some custom POI files from this site and noticed a problem.

OK heres the problem i have 20 or thirty addresses at a time to run .So i put all my addresses into my garmin c550 or nuvi 350 .But heres the problem once i run the address i need to be able to delete it ,after 6 or 7 addresses they all run together.well i could delete them one at a time in favorites but i have 40 or 50 favorites of roads that are not marked in gps and other places that i have to

Amazon has the Garmin nuvi 255W GPS for only $98.47
