Garmin talk

Just found out an interesting feature. I was running updates on my Nuvi 250W and my eTrex Vista. The eTrex had some geocashe sites and when I transferred the routes to Map Source I appended the routes to the Nuvi routes. I then added those routes and waypoints back to the Nuvi and TaDa those geocashe sites are now available on the Nuvi.

Folks,

I am sick and tired of the traffic in Atlanta, GA and have decided to get a Nuvi with traffic capabilities. I have been reading lot of negative stuff about the new 1490T with lack of map detail and also similar issues with the 765T. Based on your experiences with your Nuvi model with traffic capability, what would you recommend that I get? Thank you so much for your suggestions

I have a Garmin nuvi 255W. To get to the address of a Starbuck's custom POI, I need to tap as follows:

Tap 1: Where to?-->
Tap 2: '[down arrow]'-->
Tap 3: Extras-->
Tap 4: Custom POIs-->
Taps 5-13: [down arrow] 9 times -->

Each time I turn on my 265WT it has me agree (or click ok) on a screen that states it is bad to use this device while driving. Is there any way to shut that off?

HI Everybody it has been a long while since I posted, but I just recently got back into the GPS world.

I had originally bought a C330 Street Pilot, but gave that to my son a while back, after I purchased a nuvi 750, which I later took back to the store.

Now I have a 255W, and I have a couple of questions.

Garmin has shown on their website their new LARGE screened unit, the Nuvi 1450 - a 5-inch screened unit that offers a lot of features that make it one of the top of the line entries from Garmin.

First, I'm new. I've tried to find this answer in the FAQ's with no result.

I have the 205. I'm trying to upload some of the .gpx POI files from this site and get the following error message:

Unable to read from the device "G:/Zio River Resort.jpg", please verify that the devise is connected and try again.

Just a thought - I think that it would be very helpful if Garmin would put a little indicator on each Garmin POI entry (or on each custom POI entry) that it displays. Being able to distinguish "theirs" from "ours" seems like a very helpful tool. Does this sound reasonable or useful to others?

I have a Garmin nuvi255W. It has two POIs for a "Spoonbills" restaurant, but one is spelled "Spoondills" and creates a spurious entry. Is there a way to notify Garmin of this (and other) POI changes?

I have a Map60Cx and a street pilot 320. Whenever I add a new poi file it erases my old poi files. Does this on both GPSrs Is their any way around this?

Thanks

I'm trying to configure my poi proximity alerts so that the audio is played ONLY when we arrive at destination. Currently, it will play even when passing by an address that is configured as a POI but not as a destination.

I've tried renaming the mp3 files without the "TourGuide" filename string before using POI loader, but it still happens.

I wish the Garmin would automatically remember the route I prefer and learn it after I use it a few times. I believe Sony has a GPS that does this.

I just got my first GPS: a Garmin 205W.

It's pretty basic, but for $129, I thought it was a good deal, especially with the wider 4.3" screen. So far If just been making trips around town, but it's an impressive little device. I can't wait till I take a road trip or even a place in town that I haven't been to yet just to test it out.

New Garmin nüvifone G60 GPS Phone is $149.99 on Amazon today with new AT&T service plan.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the site. I just bought a Nuvi 255 and I was just wondering if anyone knows when the next map update will be released. I think I get the 60-day NuMaps guarantee and didn't want to waste it on an old version

Nuvi 660.... Latest software via http://www8.garmin.com/support/blosp.jsp
is Dec 11, 2008, V4.70....

Tonight I used "My Desktop" for the first time....
It indicated that a firmware upgrade was available....
So I connected and let it go....
An hour and a half later, it got to 82% and disconnected.... Fortunately Nuvi still works...

Now my questions:

I have a Garmin Nuvi 350. I updated my Extra POI Editor to the 380 version which appears to be for the Nuvi 760.

Can someone point me back to a version that will work with the 350.

Thanks.
Fred

I have had 3 NUVI 1690's over the past 3 weeks. There is definitely a problem with RF affecting the display when the NU LINK communication is active which is about every 3 minutes or when you select any type of search. When the wireless communication starts the screen gets horizontal wavy lines going upward on the display.
