Garmin talk

Just went into Webupdater and there was a new update for my 265T. Version 6.0 is now posted at Garmin. Couple of minor changes.

I just canceled my MSN Direct subscription and need to replace the cable with an FM receiver type. I'm looking at eBay and see that some GTM-20's are set up to receive Navteq and others are set up for Clear Channel. Which is better? I live in the greater NYC area. I also spend time in Montreal and Orlando/Daytona Beach area.
Thanks in advance for your input!

I’ve completed a new website concerning Custom POI basics.

Hi:

Has anyone tried to load any custom icons into the GPSMAP 76csx ? If so, what size and are they .bmp files? A step by step with any specialized programs would also help.

copying my favorites to my new nuvi 755t

Does anyone know any benefits to using a GPX file? For the same data they are larger and take my GPS a longer time to parse when searching locations. I am wondering if I should just stick to CSV files.

With MSN Direct ending in 2012, which traffic subscription do you use and would you recommend, Navteq or TTN?

I'm thinking about buying a GPS for the wife's car, one with voice recognition so she wouldn't have to mess with menus. How reliable is Garmin's voice recognition? She wouldn't need bluetooth so I was looking at the Nuvi 885.

What do you think about the new zip folders for Red Light and Speed Cameras? I liked the old way, but these might prove to be a better solution. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

have used both products a while, and loaded latest NA city navigation 2010 map to mobile xt, and 2008 to nuvi. but recently i found mobile xt seems more accurate than nuvi in terms of locating. eg, i use my current location to set it as home, then input the address in where to go, mobile xt will tell u, arriving xx on...,while nuvi 360 tells continue xx hundred feet then arriveing xx on....

I just called MSN and asked them if I would cancel now how much would I get back. I had the service Aug to now. I am getting back 97.00 plus they are letting me have MSN Direct till Jan 1 2012. FREE.

Does anyone know if there's a way to specifically avoid a point on your route? For example, I was in NYC a few times this summer and each time on the way home I was routed through the Holland Tunnel.

I have an old trusty Garmin c330. Just recently the GPS will not charge in the window mount cradle. I've changed the fuse cleaned the contacts. Any suggestions? Right now I'm charging it in the car with the usb port using one of those I-GO chargers that you can swap out the tips to accommodate the device. This works ok but the charger cords are not very long so I can't put the gps where I like.

What is the maximum storage capacity of the Extras folder?
Will it hold as much as my Kingston 8GB SD card?

Hi,

I'd like to silence the audio feedback "beep" one gets on a nuvi 750. Unfortunately Garmin does not offer the option.

Hello
I have a problem with all of the poi's I have set a TourGuide alert for. For example, I have renamed the restarea poi "TourGuide restarea" and now it does not show the alert banner or any sounds. This happens on my garmin nuvi 750 and nuvi 660. Same thing goes for my Loves truck stop file. Before adding TourGuide to the file name, this problem never happened.

Please help me with this.

Why can't I locate my previously downloaded POI's when I download a new POI file? The old files do not so up any longer under the "extra" icon.

Hi folks, i'd be most grateful for any assistance on the following...

Hi there,

I have a Garmin Nuvi370 for about 2 1/2 years or so and in the past couple of months it would occasionally freeze/lock-up while driving. Usually I can unplug it and restart but one time it took me a couple of days before it worked properly. Since then it has frozen and rebooted twice, both times while on the road.
