Is this true?
you have to have a school zone to be activated you need to specify a sound for it only if you want to be notifyed when you are in that zone. It is optional with Garmin and only supported on models 7xx and above.

Hello I own a Garmin 760. All and all a fine GPS (my first). My wife now owns a Garmin 250 (I think). One of our few complaints occurs when entering an address.

We don't always know the city.

I have noticed that my Nuvi 765T becomes slow in refreshing screens and re-calculating new routes when I am playing MP3s and using MF transmitter on it. If I am not playing MP3 etc. then I have noticed that it is very fast in screen refreshes etc.

Has anyone else notice smilialr behaviour?
I will appreciate your feedback.

My first Nuvi 760 was replaced with a refurbished unit because it wouldn't hold a charge for more than 15 mins. I've had the refurb for 4 months and it's had problems on two road trips. Now I can't go anywhere without it crashing all the time (screen locks up, unit goes dead to any input).

I went on a business trip last week. Since I was only going to Minneapolis for one day, I took my Nuvi without the cord. It was fully charged when I got to the airport before I left. I used it to get t0 my hotel and my meeting the next day. On my way back to the airport to come home, it turned off due to a low battery.

I have a Nuvi 760, I would like to know how I would upload a Metro Area project (New York). Do all the different folder headings go into one folder? Can someone give me the procedure or reference where I can find the information. Thank You.

Used my wife's Garmin 260W to find a location on the edge of the next county. The streets were in the 200's (203rd Street)in that location. The GPS kept announcing street numbers without the "2"; just "hundred third street". Anyone else aware of this?

Having a horrible time getting this to work. It appears it is downloaded to my computer, but will not allow me to use it. I have followed all FAQ and still have a problem. Could it be my computer? Thanks

I have 2 garmin gps units in 2 seperate cars, 1 is only 3 months old the other is about 1 year old. if i purchase a new map update can i install it on both of these units or do i need to buy 1 for each?

Hi all,

I have the Nuvi 265wt with the latest firmware update version 5.3. I got a question about the Picture Viewer Slide Show.

POI Loader for Mac crashes every time I start it on my Mac. When I have my 660 it never happened. Anhy ideas on how to get my Custom POI files onto my Nuvi 885T?

I have a nuvi 205, updated the firmware just last month, but there has been this one category in the tools section called extra's and it seems to be empty?

What is supposed to be there, can I put something in there?

Not sure the Garmin 265WT does.. LOL.
A couple of times that I tried it when finding alternate ways of getting to a destination I knew the whereabouts of, it told me my destination would be up ahead on the left when it was clearly on the right. Did it the other way too a time or two.

hello,

Over the past two years I have downloaded favorites to my Nuvi 750 from Google Maps. These go directly to my favorites and I use them for where they take me then I delete them when not needed anymore.

I looked at my files on my Nuvi and all the favorites I downloaded and deleted are still in my files.

I know I can go in and delete them, but why did they not delete when I deleted them from favorites? Is there a way to get any of these back in my favorites?

I am looking for (HSBC banks) poi files for New york and New jersey, but can't find any..

How do I make categories in my POI file similar to your Traffic camera POI files. I'm using the Costco list as a test. When I go into Garmin's POILoader. It loads the Costco stuff under extras, as individual stores. IE
selecting extras will give me

Costco San Francisco ...
Costco South San Francisco ...
etc...

I would like it to show
Costco Stores

I'm getting a traffic signal from 102.9 in Hamilton (CKDS-FM) which is an Astral Media owned station. Strange but true, and GREAT news if it stays up!

I am new to Garmin/GPS and I just found this site. I downloaded a brewery PIO file and installed it on my Garmin.

I understand the PIO file is a custom PIO and doesnt not append my preloaded files from Garmin.
