Garmin talk

I have a 765T (this is actually a replacement 7655T that Garmin sent me when I sent my other unit back in for repair due to a problem with the screen - pressing the screen and something else on the screen being selected.)

Found a great Hot Dog place and was going to post it but can't get it to show cords.. Street adress wont recognize for some reason?

How can I transfer a route from ST to c550 without going through MSN direct but with the USB cable only.

My operating system is W7.

thanks

Since I just bought a new Garmin Nuvifone G60, I am wondering if Garmin still offers a free DVD upon request so I can put the current maps on my PC and use MapSource?

I´m wondering if I can have 2-3 maps on 1 SD card?

There are three new cars in the Garmin Garage in honor of the Winter Olympics: Ice Rocket, Hang Time, and Blades.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 255WT and what confused me (especially when researching the unit) was that it is not listed or mentioned on Garmins website. It's like it doesn't exist. I emailed them and here's their response:

I downloaded Rest Areas but can't get the POI loader to install, I saved it in a folder, it shows up as an Excel worksheet the loader says the folder is empty

My Nuvi 255w goes into a loop occasionally where it beeps so fast it sounds like a 'gurgle' It seems to happen I think around custom POI's like cameras and announcing a turn. I updated the firmware and did a reset but it still does it occasionally. Anyone experience this and any suggestions on a fix?

What is it with the magenta backgrounds for the .bmp files? I hate it!

I've used the 255,0,255 background colors, but get the standard green backgrounds like Garmin's stuff. It makes it very hard to see.

There has to be a way to get a truly transparent .bmp. What's the solution?

Did any of you tried the voice studio? How would you assess the results? Does it work well? Worth it to spend time recording our voice to create our own text to speech?

I have the Nuvi 650. Under the navagation settings it has a choice for "Bus". I don't know how much of a difference that this makes in selecting the route, but we travel in a motorhome and I always use this setting.

My friend got the Nuvi 1300 and it does not have this option.

Do any of the current Nuvis have this option??

In 2006 I purchased a refurbished Nuvi 660 on eBay (my first GPS) and I loved it. No problems other than a few silly routing issues that just didn't make sense. Two weeks ago it was stolen from my truck. So I bought a 765t and after using it once, I boxed it up and returned it.

My Nuvi 760 will be one year old in 5 days and I'm not happy with how the battery charges, so I called today and got an RMA number from Garmin Customer Service. A very smooth procedure. The rep told me they weren't very busy now so I should get a new unit back quickly. He said because he was sending a new unit out, he would transfer my nüMaps Lifetime maps over to the new unit.

Well, a class action lawsuit concerning Speed Cameras has been filed in Maryland - FINALLY!

I read the article in today's Gazette & it sounds like it will be a long time in litigating. That must be since lawyers outnumber citizens in MD.

Using MSN service this morning, I noticed that the traffic alert function was neglibible. Several accidents on major freeway in northern Detroit area resulted in over 1/2 hour delays - yet MSN was only showing 7 minute delay. Anyone else notice a deterioration in MSN service since the announcement that they would be discontinuing service in the future?

I just can't seem to have any luck with my 765t. First, I've been having constant touch-screen issues and had to return 2 units because of that. Then I received a unit that sounded like it had a bad speaker. With the default volumes, it had that crackly foil sound whenever Jill would say something.

I messed up my Nuvi 1300

Somehow I corrupted the files and have all of these strange catagories in my "Favorites". Example: 2010-01-19t15:30:26z and many multitudes like it.
If I press the catagory a corrct entery will be listed. (Like a food store or something)
I have put so much time in loading up my favorites, changing the symbol and editing the catagories.

Hi Everyone, buy Your Sweetheart a New Garmin for Valentines Day!!

i think that's a cool feature in the site. how long has that been up? i dont remember seeing it.
so are all downloaded files put on there? i thought i downloaded some files (ie NE Schools) that were not included. oh well. i like how we can see the updated dates as well.

now, is there a way for us see a red light camera update date?
