costco has this on sale for 229.00 with a 20.00 discount, I presently have a streetpilot c580, but the free year of traffic information has expired. I really like the streetpilot, but hate to spend another 129.00 for a years traffic. does anyone know how the 265wt is and how does the traffic input coneect to the unit. my streetpilot does with the cord for the lighter.

I'm planning a trip to Sedona, Jerome, Prescott and Wickenburg the middle of July. I just discovered that you can load any waypoints from Google Maps into my Nuvi350 and then you can upload those waypoints onto Google Earth. What a time saver and easy way to map out the trip.
I also use MapSource to map out the waypoints by transferring them from my Nuvi 350 onto MapSource

Hello,
I just bought a Nuvi 765T. This is my first GPS. I would like the unit to be able to let me know when a red light camera is coming up. I bought the unit on 6-18-09. The maps are updated as of 6-19-09. I installed the Garmin POI loader app (PC). After maps were updated I installed Speed-Cameras.csv (June 17) and Redlight-Cameras.csv (June 17).

We are looking for navigable maps of Cyprus for my Garmin nuvi 760.

Does anyone know where I can located a set?

Thanks

Warm greetings to everyone!

Most TTS voice has update version available this week. Have you seen any improvement?

As for the MAP, some has report that version 2010.2 is available, but I'Ve never found it for my 755t unit?

I'm sure I'm just a newbie at this, but after moving over 70 files to the unit, I cannot figure out why the custom POIs are not showing.

I appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Thanks.

I have a nuvi 855. I have found the male voice to be slightly louder and clearer to understand. I tried both the default female voice as well as the male voice, both turned all the way up and like the male voice better.
Don't know if your menu is the same or not, but this is how to do it on a nuvi 855. Main menu, tools, settings, language, (touch) VOICE PERSONALITY and pick "Jack".

New user, not sure if this has been discussed here on this site.

Is it possible to make your own TTS voice library? Has anyone done this besides Garmin?

thanks.

Is it possible to charge my c 530 thru the usb mini port still navagate while charging?

Hi

I have a Nuvi 750. The color of the drop down signs notifies me of my poi's is gray.

Often wind noise etc may make it difficult to hear the sound signal. It would be better if the drop down sign could be a brighter color (red,orange etc.)that would be noticed more easily as you drive.

Anyone know how to change the color on the Nuvi 750???

Hi, I want to apologize in advance if this is a really stupid question.
I have looked at all the POIs and think they are great, and have downloaded a lot of them.
But I was wondering if there was just a way to download an entire yellow pages of information onto your system for maybe one or two cities.

How do I install the files for red light camera's and speed cameras I feel real stupid.

As has been the case for quite a long time (beginning with the 7x0 series), there has been a bug where WebUpdater constantly displays voices that have already been updated. I did some experimenting and found that this bug *seems* to be triggered when the nuvi is plugged into the USB port while powered off (previously my normal procedure), then running WebUpdater.

Thank you in advance.

I downloaded csv POIs and put them in a folder on my Mac. I have the Garmin Nuvi 255W hooked up to the computer and have installed the POI loader.

But when I point the software to the files to download them to the unit, they are all greyed out.

I don't have MS Excel installed, but that shouldn't make a difference (right?).

Any one having problems logging into there's?

I just downloaded the Diners,Drive-ins & Dives CSV file. However the location addresses, which are in the file, are not showing up in my Garmin 265W. The strange thing is the GPX file works fine, shows the addresses. Any ideas?

How many use there Nuvi for walking around with to find a location or your current location? If you use it in this manner, how do you carry it or hold it while doing that? Do you attach something to it to hold it? Do you put it in something to protect it?

I would like to use it in that way, but I am afraid I would drop it and break it. Interested in others experiences.

thanks,
