Garmin talk

I do not know how or doing it wrong..
My S/O tried to make a call out using the 265wt blue tooth garmin unable to do so.
She is able to get calls on it with the blue tooth...but not to call out..
Any suggestions?
new to the site.
thanks..

does anyone know how to adjust volume on Nuvi 650 after update (volume not as loud)

I purchased the GDB-50 MSN Direct receiver for my 765T. I have my GPS mounted high on my windshield and have installed my power cord so its hidden behind the plastic on my driver side roof pillar, and cannot be seen nor removed easily.

Is anyone else having the same issue?

- I've installed a few custom POI files from this site (including a graphic and sound for each).

- I've made sure that the .csv file, .mp3 file, and .bmp files are all named the same thing (except the extensions).

- I've transferred them to my 765 using the latest version of POI loader (from the garmin site) using the 'MANUAL' option.

What are or what causes very small circles to appear what I believe are random locations that ID nothing in particular?

So just got my new garmin 755T, and out of the box after a short time being online it showed a traffic icon on the map.

This weekend was adding some POI's, etc. which I don't think have anything to do with it.

But this morning no traffic icon showed up on the whole trip to work.. Major highway in chicagoland (290/355)

How long can I expect the battery to last in my Nuvi 1350 & how can I get a replacement. Plan on getting the lifetime update or should I just get a new unit, based on the battewry life.

Does anyone know if the Extra POI Editor will work with Windows 7?

I just downloaded the trial version and keep getting the following error:

Component 'RICHTX32.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.

I tried running the editor in XP SP2 compatibility mode in Windows 7 and that does not work either.

Any help?

Question regarding POI files. I download a POI file to my PC and succesfully load it to my 765T with POI Loader. A day later I download a different POI file.

How does the loading works? Do I reload all the POI from the files in my PC to the 765T every time I want to load a new POI file?

Guys and Gals,

I am fairly computer savvy. Just came from TomTom 530. I have struggled to create categories for my custom POI's. I just cannot understand the file structure. I have tried multiple iterataions.

I had to make a service call to a location in an out of the way backwoods town. When I tried to program the address into the GPS, it could not find the road. I traveled to the closest town and stopped at the Post Office to get directions and finally got to the address. While I was on these gravel back roads the unit would label all the roads with the correct name.

Has anybody compared Garmin 765t with 885t?

Their street prices are close, 885t has speech recognition which I care less.
I am looking for speedy and accurate map directions with lane assistance. This gets tricky on the freeways with multiple intersection close to each other.

Thanks

Can I load POI's into Mapsource, and if so, how is it done and how do I view them??

I have reinstalled maps
Done soft boot
Done hard boot
Checked maps the box has a check
Other cities will work

Has anyone purchased the 1490t? If so, any comments - good or bad?

Is the update worth it? Is it better to purchase the lifetime update or just onetime update? Does Garmin come out with a lot of updates?

For the record, I DID read the following Posts:

My question is:

I just bought a refurbished Nuvi 265wt. After software was updated to latest, there is no more sound. I checked the volume and it was set 80%. Even I changed to 100%, still no sound. Mute was not checked. Anyone had similar problem before?

Anybody ever use Bing.com to get any maps? If so how in the world do you send it to your gps. I can send the maps with a usb but not thru MSN Direct. 885T

Took a trip to Canada, 1100 miles one way. Went to Banff National Park.

Some things of interest with my Nuvi 765T.
