Updating 765T Map Database

Hi all!!!!
Another "newbee" here. We recently purchased a 765T.
GPS works great......so far.

US and State route numbers

The Garmin 1390T uses street names instead of route numbers. Is there a way to make the Garmin tell me street numbers and the names?

Finding Coordinates for Favorites ?

Is there a way to find the lat/long coordinates of Favorites that are already saved to a GPS? I have not been successul in finding that information.

I know I can download it through a couple of downloadable programs available but I hoped there may be a way to view them without downloading.

Road Trip for the Holidays

Hi all, I'm new here and I was wonder what the best POIs would be to download for a road trip from Spokane Washington, to the upper part of Minnesota, Basically driving through Wa, Id, MT ND, and MN. If anyone has so good advice, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Need Parts for GDB 50 Cable

Can anyone direct me to a source of supply for an end piece and silver tip (Garmin's names: go to Garmin's FAQ page and then click on the link labeled How do I reassemble my GTM 20 or GDB 50? for an illustration) for a GDB 50 cable?

What's More Accurate--Speedometer or GPS?

Going down a flat highway on cruise control my speedometer shows my truck going 73 mph--Nuvi 765T says 68--who's right?

A 1999 Tacoma 4x4 ext cab is my main rig. I run 31 10.50 R15 tires which came stock on my TRD version. I know that oversized tires and/or rear diff mods can impact speedo accuracy, but generally speaking the GPS should be more accurate right?

Need help with a time/world clock problem on a 765

Hi all,
My clock is showing an hour later than the actual time. I deselected "automatic" & set it manually so now the clock shows the correct time but when I set a route the arrival time is still an hour off. Interestingly, its world clock shows that today is Monday July 16, 2029 (time flies).

Change in performance on c530 since updating to latest NuMaps

Since updating to the .30 version and my C530 updating 1 version to the latest firmware, I have noticed a marked change in performance when working with Custom POIs. They are loaded on my c530. Previously, after selecting Custom POIs, I would select the particular group I am interested in and it would appear almost instantly. Now there is a several second delay.

Garmin StreetPilot c530, Mapsource

Comparing old and new units, and muddling through the model series

Hello, all. I'd bought my first Garmin (and first GPS) in Spring 2004, preparing for a cross-country road trip. It was a StreetPilot 2620 and boy, did that come in handy while wandering the country.

But the car I bought in 2006 had a navigation system built-in; it wasn't nearly as good as the Garmin--see

Anyone finding good Black Friday deals on Garmin GPS?

Amazon had the 285WT for $130, I think. But the price had gone up since then. You can still get the 265WT for $160 with free shipping and no tax most places.

New Garmin Nuvi User (nuvi 765t)

Hey, I am new to this site and new to GPS systems. I just purchased a Garmin Nuvi 765T. I was hoping that I could get some help. Do you have any advice as to what I should do to avoid future issues (etc) right from the start. Should I plug it in a get updates, new maps and if so how do I do this?

proximity alert

Please help me. I have a Nuvi 755T and I loaded a lot of poi's but I can not get it to show up on map or get the alert sounds to work. To start with,, YES I have loaded pois and when I follow the directions, I go to TOOLS-SETTINGS- BUT there is no proximity point icon to go to. I can load pois and go to them but I want to have alert sound when I get close.

Deleting unneeded language files on Nuvi

Lots of language files taking up space on my Nuvi. I don't plan to sell it to a non-English speaker (ok, I might keep Spanish), so I could make room for the 2011 map, which is sure to be another gig or so.

OK to delete?

Holiday Inns

I was trying to download the POI for Holiday Inns.
The only one I couldfind was a RAW file.
when I try to open it, it tries to open in Adobe reader. That program will not read this type of file.
How do I change it so it will go to Excel?
Thanks in advance for any help.
