Garmin talk

When downloading POI Garmin POI Loader did not ask if I wanted to atore the data on SD card verses device. Can someone tell me how to work around this?

Can anyone tell me if the clear channel traffic will work with my nuvi 680? Any comments on clear channel and the 680? Since MSN is no longer, I would like to still get some traffic info. The coverage seems to suit me better with clear channel as opposed to navteq, for the areas I travel in. I have found a GTM20 with clear traffic included, but would like some input before I make the purchase.

I am making an upgrade from 255 to a 755t, I had problem with Garmin Voice back in the 255. I also heard that the 755t has a small voice? anyone found this to be a problem? and any work around for this.

Has any new way been developed to delete poi entries that came with the Garmin? For example, would like to delete 10 or so Quisno's that have closed that keep showing up in the poi. I believe that originally no pois stored in the original Garmin program could be changed unless someone reversed engineered their program? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone.

I currently have a Nuvi 350 which has been working fine. The thing I was contemplating was upgrading the maps on the curreent unit (2008 maps) or getting a brand new unit (255w) at one of the Black Friday sales.

Hello.

I installed a ATTENTION, THIS GPS IS LOCKED screen in my 255W. Now I want to sell it and forgot how to remove it. Any help please.

Just bought the new Garmin nuvi 465T. I used it for a week and sent it back. I'm a trucker and need a good gps, this one is ok, but not what it's suppose to be. It still needs some tweeking and updating. I think it's nothing more than a car gps with some truck features. I rate it a 6 out of 10. Not worth the 499.00

I've had it! Sent back my second 885T. Sick of the constant locking up and the foolish voice recognition. Maybe some day when Garmen improves on VR I'll give it another try, until then, I'm getting the 765T and hoping for the best.

Ran across this web site offering the Nuvifone G60 for free with a new service plan.

I just acquired a 765T and have previously used the Invisible Shield products on cell phones. I visited their website at zagg.com and they only have a generic 700 series listed for the Garmin Nuvi.

Can anyone confirm that the physical dimensions are identical for all the 700 series including the 7X5.

TIA,

Alan

Stanalones are here to stay they will evolve and intergrate to become total personal communincation devices. Far beyond the static devices loaded into the dashes of automobiles.

This evolution will be very interesting! Stay tuned the future is now !!

Besides,in dash GPS models do not load custom POI's very well.

Have a great Week-End !

Hi.

I have the nuvi 885t.

Has anyone else had an error message when using voice recognition search for POI's?

I use the VR and speak "Where to" and that is OK.

Then I say "Points of interets" and that is OK.

Then it asks if I want to search by category or Place name.

I say "Place Name" and an erro rmessage comes up that reads:

New Garmin voice updates are available via WebUpdater or myDashboard (myDashboard will likely find a firmware update but in actuality, it is the voices that are being updated, not the firmware). The version numbers will vary depending on the particular voice. The updates (as far as I could tell) are for the 7x0/7x5, 8x5/8x5 series nuvis...others may have the same updates.

Anyone have any clues to making changes in the voice files that the Garmin 855 voice response system uses?
For example...once the 855 has found an address...it slowly asks "Would you like to start navigaion?"...which requires a yes/no answer. I'd like to shorten that to "Navigate?" or "GO?"...Garmins's wordy files simply slow everything down. any ideas? Thanks.

Folks, this is a bit of a PSA. I was having battery issues with my Nuvi 760 over the past couple of months. I ended up buying a battery on eBay from seller "grade_a_battery" who is located in HK. I spent $10.50 for the battery. I think the tool kit (from a different seller) was $6. I never installed the battery until a week or two ago.

Howdy there . . .

I am in search of someone to build a few custom POI files for me with alerts attached to them.

I would be willing to pay someone for their time as I am just way too busy to create these files and the ones that I have tried to create, the alerts haven't worked.

Some of the files I need created are . . .

US Rest Stops with a 15 mile radius proximity alert

when compared to say a 780? I heard the 255W is going to be very cheap during the holidays, maybe a good $80 cheaper than a 780...

Anyone using this yet? I just got this for $359 shipping included and no tax from ebay. new in box. seems like a good deal. Did a quick search for all the latest GPS out there, and I'm basically choosing this over TomTom Go Live (the latest one) is because tomtom is only giving live service for 1 Month, where Garmin is giving a 2 year subscription. I think it's amazing. Anyone used nulink?

Does anybody know how to remove old version of maps and the software (without disturbing the operation of the newest map). I once posed the question to Garmin and they were not any help. Then, I tried to do it anyway, and had to reinstall from scratch. Now I am left with GB's of outdated maps taking space on my computer.
