Setting proximity alerts
I have a Garmin nuvi 760 and have read a lot of the posts on this forum. My nuvi760 only allows me to turn on/off the Proximity alerts... I have no known way to set the distance at which it warns me. Several times a year I make a Trek from TX to NJ and need to know where the Interstate Rest Stops are? I am looking for at least a 2-5 mile warning if Rest Stops before me

Software update created a bias offset in location
The software update from about 2 weeks back, added about a 200 yard offset in bias to my Nuvi 200. I have the latest map updates due to lifetime and usually plug in about monthly to search for other updates. This time it changed something significant and the unit thinks an intersection is about 200 yards farther downrange than it really is. So i have to turn early. Has this happened to others?

latitude and longitude
I downloaded USA campground locations in Excel format. My garmin uses degrees for lat. & long. The files first two columns have numbers that are probably lat. & long. but are in straight numeric form.

Anyone have Nuvi 350/300 Firmware 6.00?
After downloading to 6.10, I'm having some issues like Attention Tone not working in TTS mode. I want to go back to 6.00 as there were no significant updates (lesson learned).
Does anyone have the previous version lying around on their hard drive? Perry hasn't updated his Nuvi firmware list since 5.40.
Thanks

I see Toyota
Is now offering the Nuvi 750 as an installed option in their Tundra Trucks. I think I saw the price of $299.00 for the option.

Garmin 760 and POI Image
Created a TourGuide.gpi file using POI Loader. I had the associated bmp and wav files. I loaded the files manually to a Garmin 255W and a 750. Works just fine. Sound and image is displayed. My friend put the same file on his Garmin 760 and he gets the correct sound, but not the image. Any advice???

Nuvi 750, can I increase volume?
Three years ago I purchased a c530. RT (retired technician)took my sound files and tweaked them to increase the volume. The results were fabulous. I was able to hear voice commands on my motorcycle at 70 mph with ear plugs in. That said, the c530 has two large speakers in the rear. My Nuvi 750 has just one tiny crappy speaker.

My nuvi 255W doesn't talk for redlight camera
I downloaded the Redlight-Cameras.csv file. Then I downloaded a bmp and an mp3 file, and renamed them to Redlight-Cameras.bmp and Redlight-Cameras.mp3, respectively. I then moved them to the same directory for subsequent download to my nuvi 255W.

Question about Maps and POI's loaded with maps
I'm beginning to believe that when you load new maps, new Map POI's get loaded too? Is that correct?
I saw different items than I remember from 'before' the map upgrade I did this week (Testing by scrolling maps without getting in the car and actually going anywhere..)

Nuvi 750
Yesterday I took delivery of a Nuvi 750. I snagged it on eBay for $105 and that included a bean bag mount. The unit is like new and works perfect. If you are patient, there are some deals out there.

Upcoming cross streets no longer display
Hey all! One of the features I loved about the Garmin was that it displayed the upcoming street when in normal navigation mode. Ever since I did the update using the Webupdater, that feature seems to have been replaced, instead it now tells me what street I'm on,( which I find almost uselss)!

POIs don't show up on GPS
I've downloaded several POI files, and apparently successfully uploaded them to my GPSMap69CX, running Ibycus 2.1 Canada map, but they don't show up, either on the list of POIs or on the maps. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?

Switched GPS units and need to transfer favorites
Hi everyone. I just replaced my Nuvi 660 with a Nuvi 765T and I'm trying to figure out how to transfer my favorites? I've got the POI loader and I've been able to upload my red light cameras without any problems. However, I used Garmin Road Trip and downloaded all the favorites from my old Nuvi and exported it as a GPX file but it would not show up in the favorites folder.

Visable Comments and Line Breaks
Can someone point me towards the discussion for making .csv file "comments" visible on the GPSr GO page? Also line breaks to go along with this.
I have some files that work and some that do not and I am having trouble seeing why.........

Nuvi 350 to Nuvi 765T upgrade accessaries
I'm soon to receive a Nuvi 765T as a gift, replacing my Nuvi 350.
I was wondering if I also need to upgrade my 350's Portable Friction Mount or are the fitting the same? I also would like to know if my 350's language guide and Fodor travel guide (on SD memory cards) would work in the 765T? Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks, John
