Garmin talk

So I am happy that I was able to update my recently purchase 1300 to 2010_40, but I have a questions.

Once the map was downloaded into the gps unit I get the following message.

"Due to file size limitations, regional maps have been installed to the connected device. MapInstall may be used to transfer other rgions to an SD card for use when inserted into the GPS unit."

Do any of the new Garmin's display the upcoming street name anymore? I drive a delivery truck and this helps after the snowplows knock down the street signs. My 200w does this but my new 205w does not

I recently go my wife a 265WT. She reported to me that on trip to an unfamiliar location, the 265WT took her on a freeway and told her that she has arrived, right on the freeway! She double checked that she has entered the address correctly.

Download and install from your myGarmin account.

Can Batteries Plus replace the battery in the 265WT

I recently moved from PC w/ XP to PC w/Windows 7.

I d/l Poiloader and attempted to update the POIs in my 680.

I followed the instructions in this post: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/85.

Poiloader freezes at the update step. I researched this site and googled it. No luck.

Any suggestions?

TIA.

I'm confused- I was under the impression you could get these files free via posting here for three weeks? OR is it true that you gotta pay? Don't mind paying......
TY

I have two 755t's. The older of the two I purchased on 1/26/09 and it has sporatic problems with the usual 7x5 touchscreen issues. I decided to send it to Garmin before my 1 year is up, and after checking on my RMA number today, the status shows returned. It does not appear that they have replaced it with another unit because the exchanged serial number is my original serial number.

I have the 765T, and recently bought the 265WT for my wife. I found I rather like some of the voices on the 265WT. Is is possible to transfer the voice files from 265WT to 765T?

Hi

Garmin has just released a new cheaper Zumo.

Will driving in the hot Atlanta sun for long periods of time affect/damage my Nuvi this summer? I keep it attached to the front window just above the speedometer. Sometimes I'm on the road for four or five hours. Thanks.

I would like to download the red light camera alerts on my 765t but I am not techno-adept. How do I do it. Can I just download for my area or state or do I have to download the whole file. Thanks.

I would like to make some proximity alert POI’s how do I do that? I have garmin map source, can I use that program to make them and then load them from their to my nuvi 765t? can i also set the proximity to 1/2 and 1/4 miles? Thanks for any help

Anybody knows when the next map update is coming out?
2010.40?

I just noticed that Garmin now has a subscription for safety cameras for the US and Canada. I cant imagine anyone paying $35 dollars to Garmin to download the cameras when they can get them here at POI. Just curious, has anyone tried the subscription?

UPDATE: For 2012 and newer models, Garmin no longer offers the Cyclops safety camera database for USA and Canada.

Has anyone had the problem of getting an error of "Cannot Calculate the Route"? I started getting this error after I updated my European map last November, but I only receive the error for destinations over 100 mile or so, I think when it calculates between two maps, like OH to IN. I can route anywhere in OH without the error.

Hi folks. I'm hoping for a little nudge in the right direction. Want to get the red light/safety cameras lists for my city. I'm just wondering , being totally new to this, how they work? I've never seen it in action. I have a Garmin Nuvi 1300. What does it do? Give a warning in text at the top of the screen, or beep, or, er , what?
And do you think it's worth having.

I got this great little toy for Christmas, and since then I've gotten everything figured out other than 3 items. Many thanks to all of you and this site! Here are the remaining issues, any help or pointers to info is appreciated:

I live in a area and streets are going to closed for some time, I use a nuvi 765. Can I do something with poi’s to identify street closers and the gps will avoid and re route? Please help…
