Garmin talk

hi all, just had a quick question...if i were to buy that FM traffic antenna for the nuvi 200, will it work?

thanks,

Touchscreen problems are a well known issue with the 765T. But recently I have noticed that the error rate seem to have decreased after I installed a screen protector. Has anyone else found this to be the case?

Just got back from a trip to NYC for work. While there I picked up a Trascend 16gb microsd card and SD card adapter. It's really for my Nokia N95 to store data files, music and Garmin stuff. But I thought I'd load some music up on it and pop it into the NUVI 360. Wow, it works! 16gb of music in the NUVI! Well, actually about 3gb right now, but I will definitely load it up.

I purchased a Garmin 450 to use on my Harley. It was a lot cheaper than the one Harley sells. I added the Harley dealerships as a POI. On the Harley garmin which in appearance is the same as mine they have a category icon that shows up with the rest of them when you turn on your GPS. My dealerships show up under the Extra's category.

My dad has a Nuvi 265WT and all of a sudden, it's giving him a speed alert at 4 MPH. He was looking at the different modes, like pedestrian, car, motorcycle, and set it to pedestrian while he was looking for some family grave sites. Then he set it back to car mode and now he gets an alert when his vehicle speed is 4 MPH.

Does anyone know what is the most current firmware for the Nuvi 680 and also the gtm-20 ?

well all i am off to the great north west, cant wait to do some hiking and backpacking with the family, and the sights, smells, and food!!

hope to have the time to have Lunch with Miss POI!!

Has anyone else had an issue with using the internal POI phone numbers in North America?

On my 770, it seems to try dialing a plus sign (+) at the beginning of the phone number for internal POIs. The call won't go through because of it.

My personal phone book entries from my cell phone work fine because they do not have the + stored in front of them.

My Nuvi 200 has 2.20. My 205 came with 2.20 as well, but after installing "American English" voice through WebUpdater, it rolled back to 2.00

2.20 is smaller in size (1.06MB) compared to 2.00(1.16MB).

What are the differences and why did WebUpdater roll it back from what was already installed on the unit by default?

Transferring driving directions to Garmin GPS 760 from Google Maps, It seems like Garmin is adding the United States to the address. This is preventing the Phone Number from appearing in the Favorites listing. Max 3 lines for address and phone number. That pushes the Zip code to the third line leaving no room for Phone Number.
How do I remove the United States so the phone number appears?

Several months ago I purchased the lifetime subscription to the NavTeq traffic service, but my 660 seems to get terrible reception in Northern VA. Has anyone else had any luck with this service?

I just picked up an old-school Garmin StreetPilot ColorMap. Is there anyone who is very familiar with this product, or still using one in their vehicle?

I have some questions with regards to loading POI's and such, and have been unable to find answers online, so far.

I have volume set wide open and can hardly hear turns and streets call out. Granted my hearing is not 100 per cent however my old garmin streetpilot was plenty loud. Is there a sound bite or some way to increase the volume.

When I reset the unit, sometimes the unit resets itself to 80% volume and the mute enabled. In this condition, the audio version loads as "missing".

I re-loaded the SW 5.10 as well as "American English" that was available through webupdater, but it acutally rolled back audio version from 2.20 to 2.00

Does anyone know if the Sapp Bros. Truckstop download work? Because i see the description says that it may not be accurate, and I would like to know if it's worth uploading.
Thanks

May have found a problem with transferring favorites from gps to Mapsource if you have categories for favorites.I have the latest update but get error message to send report to Garmin when I try the transfer.Went to EasyGps and it would not transfer either.Not sure if it is the program update or the categories for favorites causing the problem.

Recently, I started having problems with my Garmin WebUpdater finding my device. The WebUpdater shows my F drive where I am plug into but does not find my Garmin unit number. I deleted the software and reinstalled it again. Same problem.

Windows Vista is my operating system. Any thoughts?

If anyone has this head unit, are you experiencing a problem with the Garmin software where the following message often occurs:

"GPS Firmware Updating"

and

"GPS Firmware Complete"

These messages appear randomly and often.

Is MSN Direct Traffic on the 885T FREE LIFETIME like the other traffic that I have on my 660.

How often does garmin update this? i assume it needs to be updated to be the same(match) as the GPS updates?

i mean so sence i updated my 350 to 2010.10 is MS @ 2010.10 also? and so on..

my ms ver is 6.15.6
