Garmin talk

My nuvi 350 shows golf courses as I am going along. How do I make it stop? I no longer care where golf courses are.

Thanks

Hello.

I'm having a problem installing the Garmin map update 2010.30 on my new 765T and hope someone can help. After extracting map update I get a message A communication error has occurred. I tried a few times and always get the same massage.
Also the icon on the desktop looks like an empty square. Could that be a bad download?

Thank you.

I am attempting to download my one time free map update. I connected the GPS and am downloading the 2 GB file through download manager. However, it is taking forever.

I have connected my Garmin 255W to my PC in the past with no problem. This time I connected the Garmin-to-PC cable and I got the twotone bleep as always. But when I start the POI Loader and it gets to the screen with the device list, the Garmin device is not in the drop-down list, only the Removable Disks. I disconnected and reconnected the cable and turned the Garmin on and off.

Good evening folks.

(first post)

I'm wondering if anyone's succeeded at changing the default home screen on the 265WT (or on other models based on the same core code).

What I mean is this: I've hard-wired the unit into momma's car. Each time she gets in and starts the car, the GPS boots up and brings her to the home screen where she has to pres "View Map" to get to the live map view.

Does anyone make a low profile direct wire usb cord for in car installations?

I need help putting together a list of the Models that need SOX.Exe, so that I can make an FAQ page with the list.

Could someone figure this out for me and post it below please?

Thanks,

Miss POI

Can I purchase scratch resistant transparent cover for my Garmin and have it professionally installed?

Thanks.

On the Garmin 855 only a few of the rest areas are shown from the file. Those few present are 2200 miles from my current location. The device has 1.5 MB of memory available after loading the file. Why doesn't all of the rest stops in the file appear on the Garmin?

Garmin has "parked" three new "vehicles" in the garage.

Lowest price ever!

I can't find any answer as to why my Garmin 765T can't see or read my SD Memory Card
I've tried to load pictures and MP3's directly to the card thru Microsoft Explorer, that doesn't work. I've tried to use the POI loader to transfer to the card and no luck. I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
I see the files on the SD when in Explorer, but the GPS doesn't see them.

Thanks for reading my query.

First of all, is it correct that the "Proximity Field" in Mapsource 6.15.6 does NOT work on my Garmin 885T? Garmin tech support says it does NOT but it took the guy 15 minutes to find out...and so I have little faith that he actually had any firsthand knowledge.

I am a new Garmin (Nuvi 765T) owner. I found the POI Factory website (it's great). I downloaded "24 hour pharmacies - Cincinnati Area" but I can't find any on my Garmin. I assume they are there because the "POI Loader" told me they were installed. How do I check or find what POI's I loaded and if they are really on my Garmin and available to me.

Thanks for any help you can give this rookie.

I got the 765T for $280 from Costco.
I tried to keep my patience with the Bluetooth feature, but when it disconnected the bluetooth device during a call to my wife and she got mad because she thought I'd hung up on her, well, that 765T almost went out the window while on the highway.

I've just gotten the replacement for the Nuvi 265WT that died a couple days ago; I've updated the firmware, registered the unit and am attempting to update to the latest map, 2010.30. I downloaded the Garmin Communicator addon for Firefox, agreed to the EULA, and authorized the download. The website presented me with a product key and 2 files: prodkey.bin and prodkeyNA.bin.

A year and a half ago $300 was the price barrier to be broken, for getting a full-featured Garmin ($299 for nuvi 660). Now the 780 is selling for $168. GPS is becoming like smartphones, everybody's (50%) got one.

Maybe Garmin will be like RIM and keep on chuggin'!

The update reported by myDashboard for the 7x5 series dated 12/17/2009 is actually a Translation Files update and NOT a firmware update. myDashboard will state "updating firmware" when even non-firmware updates are found.

Simply use WebUpdater for your updating to correctly identify any updates made to your unit.

I've been watching the Nuvi 755T using pricespider.com and have seen its price steadily drop over the past few months.

I'm still waiting before I make my purchase, but it just dropped below $200 on Amazon: $198.74 with free shipping as of this morning.

Some of their vendors have it for even less.

I'm a newbie with a Garmin Nuvi 265wt. I have tried downloading some of the custom POIs on this site & have also experimented with creating my own custom POIs. I have built CSV files and also GPX files (using EasyGPS) and used POI Loader to put them on the Nuvi 265wt. They load OK, but only the first 3 columns from the CSV file show (the coordinates and the label).
