Garmin talk

My 765T seems to have a problem when pressing the screen. When I press the screen, many times the button that is being selected isn't entered, but another item elsewhere on the screen. For example, when pressing a letter on the screen keyboard, a different letter in an entirely different area of the screen is often selected.

Hello. My 765 gives me only a few seconds before a turn. In distance it is often 15 feet or less on a side street.

My 660 gives me much more than double the notice. Is there a setting I can change for this?

Thanks,

Pete

Just bought Garmin Trip & Wavepoint mangager from an online retailer. So I could get the mapsource software to create my own routes. Cd arrived today. When I went to install and use I was unable to "unlock" maps. When I attempted to run unlock maps from the utilities tab I get an error message saying "unalbe to start unlock wizzard. please reinstall the program and try again."

It's been awhile since I purchased a new GPS and am wondering what Garmin's policy is now on free map updates if the GPS you buy doesn't have the latest maps.

If all Garmin units would have speed limit signs and change colors at a set mph over the speed limit. Maybe a beep alert that can be turned off?

What would I need and how would I copy loaded POI files from my Garmin c340 to my computer so I can load them into my other Garmin device.

Work loaded POI files into my GPS and I'm trying to copy them and install them on my personal GPS

Has anyone ever had a problem with the number of POI's that can be loaded and viewed on a Nuvi 255w. I have 50 POI (approx. 42MB) catagories loaded on a 2GB SD card when try to load and view anything over the 50 entries on SD card the 51st entry will nor display. Is there a limit on the SD Cards for POI's. I know the 255w can use up a 4GB SD card. Help !!

I have a Nuvi 750. Have always put my POIs on my SD card and then was "New Extras data found on card. Would you like to install this so that it will be available if the card is removed?"

I always say yes because I do like them on both the SD card and my Nuvi.

I made new POIs two days ago and put them on the SD card. Nuvi ask the question and I said YES.

Hi,

I'm thinking about buying a portable friction mount (part# 010-10908-00) for my Nuvi 265WT. But I already have a portable friction mount (part# 010-10306-00) from a broken street-pilot 2720 that I no longer use. The two look identical except the 10908 has a pedestal mounting bracket that connects between the sand bag and the Nuvi.

Hi,

Looking for some insight into this issue.
I was helping a friend with their Nuvi 250, as they do not have a computer.
Used the Web Updater to check for newer firmware.
5.0 was available, so through the web updater installed the update.
Everything went smoothly.
Rebooted Nivi, flash screen shows Updating GPS Firmware.
Looked good.

Settings show that 5.0 firmware is operational.

After resting content with a GPS V for many years, I've purchased a nuvi 855 for routine car use, and an Etrex Vista HCx for travel and hiking use.

I enjoyed the 855 for a couple of hours yesterday, then attempted updates. The base map update would not start up in Google Chrome, so I switched to IE8. It appeared to download and install OK (so saith the progress prompts).

Why is it that the Garmin lock feature will still allow the unit to navigate through audible commands to the last programed location. This is a problem in my mind. Let's say the last place I had set the unit to navigate to was home and that is also my security location and someone steals my garmin follows the prompts to the location and then unlocks the unit...

Hello everybody!
This is a screen shot of my Garmin 200W

And there is a question for You
How can I know How many hours I drove my car with this device (You see only --:--)

This was strange this morning when I turned it on and got a reminder to register the Nuvi. All the settings that I changed were all back to factory. All my favorites and and Custom POI's were still installed. The rest of the day everything was normal, after resetting everything.

There are some recent nuvi articles that may be of interest to you including

--How to get an 'along the entire route' excess speed alert warning

--How to fix that 'Set Loc' jumping problem

--Zip Code search information

--What to do if your nuvi doesn't recognize the city you enter

--An off road TourGuide alert

--Getting rid of those extra POI Loader files

--Via Point Woes

so recently, i was trying to see if my xt (in nokia) worked on a plane, but i kept having trouble getting it to lock satellites (i was sitting aisle seat). i kept turning off on, etc. and when i landed, about 30 mins of using the gps, i later found that i couldn't open xt. it would show the garmin splash screen, then kick me out. i tried uninstall, then reinstall, but no workie.

Hi all,

Another little program that could be useful. For those who remember the TTS_Speech_Doctor, this new program is called TTS Speech Doctor Pro. The "Pro" means this is a bit more advanced than the previous version.

It will allow you to modify speech problems for your GPS by YOURSELF. Yes! You can now add your own abbreviation equivalents.

Hi, Sorry for this really stupid question but I'm rally new to the gps world. Please could somebody pinpoint me in right direction for POI for the Uk and also POI in Thailand. The ones I have found are mostly in the USA. A'm I missing something obvious.

Thank you.
