Garmin talk

I've had an issue with my 770 where the Home location is lost. This has happened twice to me - each about a month apart. When I press 'Where To?' and then Home the unit tells me my home location is not set. However my Home location is still in the favourites.

I have to delete my original favourite (so that there aren't 2 Home favourites) and then re-set my home location.

Hello all! I'm kinda new to all of this GPS stuff but I was just wondering if there's a POI for Marble Slab Creamery locations. If there isn't then I will try to create one for it will be my first for the Garmin series. This is a wonderful site and I am thankful for the contributions that everyone has given to this site!

Thank you!!!

Is there anyway if my Garmin 885T is ripped off that it can be used if I have a password on it?

So are any of you familiar with Garmin's cityXplorer series of maps?

Im pondering buying the latest version for Los Angeles cause it covers my area. I figure the $15 is a lot cheaper than the $99 for the Full City Navigator North America...and frankly I dont drive much outside this area, and can likely live with the 2009 maps for a while outside of the LA area

Is there a way to increase the speaker volume when on batter power? It is noticeably lower than when running when plugged in. I understand the brightness going down to conserve and can adjust that but all volume settings are at 100%. I have the 765T if it matters. Did not see this mentioned while doing a search so guidance appreciated.

Thanks.... Steve

Hey,

When it gets really hot out my gps keeps falling off the windshield. Is there any trick to making it stay short of super glue?

I have a nüvi 680 that I have a few custom POI files loaded together with the bmp icon files.

A couple of days ago I bought the nuvi Life Map and installed it on my 750. All went well and I was impressed with all the new roads that appeared. Now I have a new problem - the map refresh can not keep up with my current position.
I now drive pass a road or intersection well ahead of the map. This is very frustrating and I wonder if anybody is having the same problem?

We had two occurances of a Confused 660 on our vacation a couple weeks ago, and I'm not certain if this is a designed in issue, or what....

Our hotel was in San Francisco, about 4 blocks from Fisherman's Wharf on Columbus Avenue (Columbus Motor Inn).

I have a NUVI 350 with the 2008 Maps. I want to order the Lifetime Map. I tried to order from Amazon.com, but for some reason their website says they can't ship this to Canada. Amazon.ca does not list Garmin Map Updates.

I seem to be able to order from Autonavdirect or GPS Central, but I've had no experience with either one.

I haven't found a POI for Phantom Gourmet, so I'm trying to create one. On their webpage (phantomgourmet.com) I do a search without restrictions and get a great table - but I can't seem to pull the info into a suitable form for excel. I can select all and copy into excel, but there's some wackiness about the formatting...and I'm not savvy enough with excel to straighten it out...yet...

I apologize if this has been asked before but I did a search and came up empty. Is there a way to find out if there is a newer software version available for a particular unit without hooking up the unit to the web updater. I searched the Garmin site but could not find any type of revision history.

I deleted files of text and voice I don't use. Now I think I screwed up something. My vehicles do not come up at all. I still have a vehicles folder with files there but they do not show on gps what did I do. How do I reinstall the software to give me back everything I deleted?

Has anyone upgraded to the 650 from the 550?
Are there any benifits to the newer version?

We are doing a motorcycle road trip in the western U.S. are there accurate red light camera warnings?

Are there any Camera alerts for Utah?

Can anyone tell me how to activate the Spoken Street Names function?

I have a 200W.

Thank you!

Just wondering if your trial shut off exactly 3 months after you activated it. Or did you had service longer than the date it said it would cancel?

Hi People,

I've been reading the FAQ and get started guides but would be appreciate it if someone can confirm my understanding of POIs and some general questions.

I am all set on the POI loader and connection to my GPS to the point having even got some extra POI on. They all show up in a Custom_POI entry on my Extras slot.

Questions:
Proximity alerts
