Garmin talk

I recently downloaded map version 2010.20 for my Nuvi 885t. My question now is where do I find the new map that goes on to the computer so that I may make routes and then add them to my Nuvi?
thanks Margee

Anyone use this type headset with Zumo550 and WHAT WAS YOUR OUT COME?

The add in Harley HOG book has the following write up:

For those that want wireless this accessory delivers high quality stereo sound from an MP3 player, zumo gps and compatible cell phones, it works with all helmet styles for hassle-free, wireless audio.

List for $200 and comes with 2 sets P/N 98272-09VM.

I am new at this, I want to go from Santa Maria, CA to Napa, Ca, the route the 765t selects for me is not how I want to go, but I can't find how to change it. I tried all the different settings, faster time,etc but get same route..I go to google maps, it has the way I want to go, but can't figure how to send to the GPS

Hi All,

I have the Nuvi 265wt with City Navigator 2010.10 installed. I have made a backup off all the files, folders, subfolders on this GPS onto my local PC hard drive. I'm about to update the GPS's map to version 2010.20.

To calibrate the keyboard on Nuvi 1390T:

1. Turn device off
2. Put finger on upper left hand corner of screen & hold it
3. Power device on (may take up to 30 seconds)
4. You will get the keyboard calibration screen
5. Calibrate keyboard
6. Done
7. Test
8. Pray that it’ll work
9. In my case, thank God, it worked.

I just installed the Costco POIs from here but I can't find them on my garmin! I used POI loader to put them on my Garmin nuvi 855 which it correctly finds. I've verified that my local costco is there in the CSV file.

After much help from members and some deep searches, I finally found a very good site for the Brazilian Speed / Redlight Cameras. It's a Brazilian website but with a little patience and a basic knowlege of Brazilian Portuguese it can be easily downloaded using Garmins POI loader.

Im interested in hearing comments on the Bluetooth portion of the nuvi 660. I have a Nuvi 350 and I am considering updating to a 660 for the Bluetooth function.

I know its an older unit, but they are inexpensive and my 350 is perfect except for the fact that I would like the Bluetooth compatibility.

Thanks
Aron

I have a 200w and have downloaded the file for all the rest areas in the us it seems from this site. its on my gps and can get to them through the menu. what i would like to know is how to get it where when im comming up to one while driving it shows on th egps map instead of having to go through menue and adding it as destination. I hope im explaining this right lol.

I am making a file for Illinois bike paths that are paved and limestone. Before I invest the time I want to make sure what I am doing is right. Would someone please check this file and let me know. Thanks

I changed the battery of my Nuvi 760. Process went very smooth, charged up the "new battery" and turned on the unit. It booted up "normally", but will not see satellites. Went into the satellite screen, and no activities at all; no bars, no blinking satellites. Any suggestions?

Ever wondered if a certain address is included in Navteq maps or what junction views are available on a route you are considering taking? Navteq's updated website is where you can now do both of those things.

Hi all,
Just got an email from Costco & they're selling the 765t for $279.99. Thought I'd pass it along for those looking for a deal!

im sure you guys got the same email as i did from garmin and amazon (if u bought ur system there). when mine broke and i had to send it back i got a new one. but unfortunately, i lost my vehicle. so i hadnt turned on my system yet.

is there an expiration to that software update that will keep it from crashing??

So i'm still running Garmin's 2009 maps on my Nuvi 760.

I'm pondering buying the 2010 maps, but here's a question, one whose answer is not clear from Garmin's website.

Is the 2010 download map from garmin's website 2010.2 (the latest update apparently)?

is 2010.1 the initial release? or is it 2010.0?

I am having trouble getting a custom POI file into Mapsource. I have started with a csv file and converted it to gpx with two different utilities. Both times Mapsource tells me it it unable to import the file. I'm running 6.15.6. This seems like it should be easy. Any help? I'll insert a sample of the csv file and the top of the converted gpx file below.

I have a Garmin 850 and I'm trying to get some custom POI files loaded that I found on POI Factory. Example: The Wal-Mart/Sams Club POI file. It loads fine via the POI Loader from Garmin, but when I go to "where to/extras/custom POIs/Wal-Mart_US, it brings up the nearest locations in Idaho (but I'm in Atlanta).

I am sure you can it, but here is my crazy question. Stupid, probably.

Can you load more than 1 set of POI's onto your Garmin? I have a 760. I dowloaded the Red Light Camera POI, which I love. I then tried to download the Walmart/Sams stores POI from this sight. When I downloaded the Walmart/Sams stores, I lost my Red Light.

I am probably doing something wrong with POI Loader.

Hi. The nuvi775t comes with BOTH the North American AND European maps pre-installed.

If I opt for the free European map update but wait to do the download for another couple of weeks or until the "new" Europe maps come out (v2010.20) will I be able to download the latest version or the one availabel right now?

I have read some conflicting/confusing information on that.

Loaded Beta file last night used it today
At last something worked for me

Thanks for the information found here
