Garmin talk

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

Anyone know how to change the nuvi765t display for "Where am I" from degrees to decimal units?

Quite disappointed with the FM transmitter feature on my new 765t. Followed all the instructions to get the Garmin sound through my car speakers. Yes, it does work, but the amount of static is horrible. NOT a useful feature. Have tried different FM settings with the same poor results. Anyone having good success with this feature?

I REALLY need to have this sorted out quick as I leave to go back OTR tomorrow or the next day...

I've got a .csv file That I've created via Excel 2007.
I'm also running Extra POI Editor v4.02.

The file I've created has some data in the "comment" column like so:

Item 1, Item 2
Item 3, Item 4, Item 5
Item 6, ETC

To go to the next line, I've used the ALT-ENTER method.

To a Garmin nuvi265WT? The preloaded voice was pretty bad.

I would like to know if any one knows how to create custom voice alerts for Garmin Nuvi 1490T. The 1490T device doesn't play .mp3 files and I'm not sure if there is a way to create a custom voice alerts for the custom POIs.

Please let me know if anyone knows how to create it. I will greately appreciate it.
