Garmin talk

Hey there. First post with a dumb question. I have a Garmin Nuvi 200w. I downloaded a few POI files and uploaded them. I can see them in the Extras menu. When I select them, they will show the distances.

Has anyone else noticed that the ETA shown on the 765T doesn't change when the unit recieves an updated traffic report? I was driving today, and the planned traffic delay went from 2 minutes to 15 minutes, but the ETA didn't change. This really makes me wonder if the unit is actually finding the fastest route, or just telling you how much delay to expect if you stay on the current path.

In the world according to me (in my own little GPS world), the update of 2010 ver 4 is riddled with errors. I wish I had never moved from ver. 2 that came with the original Nuvi 1690. I made the mistake of thinking that a newer version of the map update would eliminate mistakes and not create them... I know...silly me. I used my one 'freebie' update when I went to ver 4 and regret it.

Can I use City Navigator to update my 760 or do I need to buy Lifetime Map Update? Does City Navigator have it's own update cost or is NuMaps used to update everything? I want to be able to plan routes on my PC and load them onto my 760. I also want to make sure both are the most up to date maps. What do I do? Thanks.

My Nuvi 765t takes 20 minutes to load the maps. Is that normal or is there a way to speed this procedure up?

Thanks.

Just ordered Red Light Camera POI but not sure how it works. When using my 255W to navigate from point A to B, does the Red Light Camera work on the bacground to automatically warn me when I approach an intersection which is being monitored by Red Light Camera? any set up on my 255W I have to perform for this feature to work ?
Thank you.

Does anyone know how to orient travel direction to the top of screen when off road?

When I first purchased my nuvi 205W I added several favorites that I now want to delete. I deleted them through my actual device but they will randomly reappear for no reason that I can see. I know it is the same ones I have deleted multiple times but I cannot figure out why they are reappearing.

ok, i finally bought a nuvi, but it doesn't have a truck route on it like my old c330. is there anyway to add a truck route?

I just ordered the Garmin lifetime map update from Amazon.com..Just looking for feed backs from anyone who ordered this product from them before..Thanks!

Garmin 660
I'm in the process of re-entering my favorites after the V4.80 to V4.70 Downgrade blew all favorites away... Due to the fact that V4.80 is buggy, and Delete's Red and Yellow lines on my Traffic alerts....

Usually I create a favorite this way:
Hit Address... Enter it, and his SAVE, and give it a name.

My Nuvi sometimes routes me one way going and another way coming back. Does anyone know why?

I recently purchased an SD card for my Garmin 255W and have taken the time to download a number of POI files from this web site. I was really proud of the work I did until I tested the files on my GPS. I entered a destination and then selected that I wanted to search for POI's along "My Current Route". I then went to Extras and selected my "Custom POI's".

Hi
I did everything I have learned from this Forum about loading icon into my GPS (Garmin 255W) with no success.
Change the name of icon to match the POI file name. Check for double extension and/or extra ., set the file size to 20x20 and mode to 256 color index 8 bits file.
the bmp and csv files are in the same folder with exact same name except the extension.

After my nuvi 660 updated to bluetooth ver. 3.40 the unit screen locks totally.I have to turn off the gps and then start the unit and then enable bluetooth again but it wont connect to the phone again after that update.
I have a Sonyericsson C905 and it workd fine before the uppdate.I allso tryed with Sonyericsson K750 and K800.
Plz i need some help.

I tried loading some POI's for the first time on my new 1490, but they're not showing up in the Custom POI list. The POI's were downloaded from this site and are .csv files that I put into a specific folder. Using Garmin POI Loader, I went through the install process, selecting the folder where the csv files are at, and completing the installation process with no error messages.

Will the latest Garmin maps work on an old Nuvi 200?

I have a Nuvi 1350T with a 4gb SD Card. When I originally moved most of my POIs to the Card all of the Icons associated with the files would appear on my nuvi. As I have updated the POI files and removed the associated file on the nuvi and then used POI Loader to install the updated file on the nuvi onto the SD Card I have lost the Icons.

Is it possible to delete just one or two custom POI's or do you have to delete the whole batch?
