Garmin talk

I have not been following the latest and greatest, and my 660 is still working great, but I am thinking about upgrading.

Which Garmin do you believe is the best Garmin out there I currentlty reside in SW Arizona.

Thanks

Happy New Year,

Hi everyone.....I was looking at purchasing another Garmin unit.......the one that interests me is the Nuvi 465T (truck model)
Now I am aware that it is for truck but it can also be used for cars. It gives you the option for trucks as an over the road OTR driver or a delivery truck. The delivery truck is what I need the info on.

Garmin has added 800+ Canadian courses to the course map list for the Approach G5. See http://bit.ly/6pC5TL

See the Caddy Confidential: 12,000+ Preloaded Courses - Hello Canada! post in the Garmin blog for more details: http://bit.ly/6fBMvY

Hi, I am wishing all Garmin & POI Members a Happy & Safe New Year!!

I just bought a Garmin 265T and since my last one was stolen out of my car I though I should set the security lock on this one.
The problem is I am in Yuma for the winter and will return to Canada in the spring. If I set a "pin" here do I have to set the location too; and if I do can I reset it when I get back to Canada to my home there?

Is turning off my gps always to be done by sliding the switch to the left or to lock to the right?

Anyone else have an issue with the TTS voices skipping while navigating? I just updated software to 6.10 and hope it solves this issue previous SW was 6.00 and it appears to skip when the map is drawing.

Would appreciate if someone could point me to the answer. I've been searching this site to see if someone asked this before but cannot seem to find an answer.

I have a 265T with a receiver cable. Lifetime traffic.

I'm noticing a lot of Garmin units are going on sale but with the MSN service with x months. Same mini-usb connector.

There is a new voice called "Yeti" at the Garmin Garage. I saw this mentioned in a post when I did a search, but there didn't seem to be a thread on it.

The battery in my Garmin 855 is not holding a full charge. It only give me a half charge. I have had the unit since August 09. What could be the problem.

Will this file work on gamin Nuvi 765T?

Hi,

I bought the 765T Garmin Nuvi. I have done all the updates, map upgrade, Custom POI's etc.

1) Can I load Europe maps as well?
2) Is there is a list of enhancements or tricks?

Thanks for your time.
Cheers!

We left home in central IL on Tues and tonight we're about 50 Miles N of Jackson, MS. We found several rest stops along I-55 closed in Missouri and Mississippi. Not good.

Hello, I'm trying to update my nuvi 680 to the latest nüMaps Lifetime™ North America 2010.30. I've downloaded the file two times. Once using Firefox and the second time using the Garmin downloader. Both times downloaded successfully but when I execute the file, nothing happens. It just says 0% Extracting Garmin Map Update and sits at 0% for over 1 hour.

Inquiring minds want to know...

Is it possible to customize the Home icon?

I noticed today that Garmin now lists the 285, 785 and 885 nuvi models as discontinued.

Hi, I'm new to the group, does anybody know where I can find military vehicle icons. I've seen the tank on the Garmin site but I would like a desert colored Hummer.

any suggestions would be appriciated.
thanks,

On my 255wt, I uploaded the sample red light file and added the sound and bitmap files. When I approach a red light camera, the unit repeats the phrase four times. I checked the wav file itself and it contains only one phrase. Is there a way to set how many times the saying repeats. If I remember correctly, prior to the wav file it "beeped" four times.

Thanks Jim
