Garmin talk

can i put voice alerts in my kenwood g510. i have tried doing this, i created a folder on my desktop and named it
garmin.
I see the way points, (the date base for red light cams and speed traps) in there, do I have to make another folder inside

When I'm on the highway my unit estimates the arrival time correctly, but when in the city the arrival time is typically 5 minutes before when I actually arrive. Is this a known issue?

Is there a list of state by state POI's that can be DL or just the compleat USA listings??

looking for MI POI's

thanks..

Thanks to everyone's help I am now downloading and using POIs. Now I'm trying to figure out how to use sounds.
Is there a link somewhere which provides the "how to" for sounds?

Couple of questions:

I have a 255W.

This last weekend my wife and I went up to Northern Wisconsin from Chicago for a long weekend get away. I was using our 6-month old Garmin 765T as the navigation device to get us up there, planning to spend some time in Milwaukee and then head North to do some sightseeing and fishing, then stopping in several small towns on the way back.

used the 550t from Garmin, if so what was your take on it

I was just wondering if turbo ccc has left us. His last post on this site seems to have been on 26 April 2009. I have noticed a few questions that were directed to him and have gone unanswered. Sure hope he hasn't left for good.

Just want to say hello.

Hello,

I am a GPS newb and i have tried reading the FAQ, but im still havign problems...

I downloaded some WIFI POI and even an icon and I THINK i got them into my gps how the getting started section suggested.

and it said 273 new POI loaded into GPS. I tried going now into my GPS but i cant seem to find where to click to see those Wifi places...

Can anyone help, I purchased a nuvi 885T today and so far its great. Just one thing I hate, there is a green background or overlay when viewing street maps. How do I turn off this feature?? It makes it very difficult to see street level info.

I have never noticed this before, but while planning a route across country with Mapsource, I realized there are no indicators as to where the time zones change. (unless I overlooked it) I looked in three NT2008, NT2009 and NT2009.1.

Why would somthing like this be missing from map data?

The SD memory card I have in my unit - 260W is a 2GB. I asked the store I bought it from if they had the 4 GB for my unit. They said the 260w could not use 4GB. The max it can take is 2GB. I thought I read here that the new updates will allow most of these units to use 4GB SD card. It seems I have it wrong. Any thoughts?

Does any one know if there is a way to read coordinates from my Nuvi 680. I see that i can enter coordinates of a location but is there a way i have it tell me what the cordinates are of the location that i am at. I assume this is how i could provide info on enforcement cameras.

Thanks
Herb

I have a Garmin Nuvi 660 Newely Overhauled. I got the Garmin Lock to work a few times but not it wont work. Any ideas as to what to do.
Many Thanks,

Hi everyone,

I got a question about Mapsource. Since my GPSMap 76 only has 8 MB of memory and it does not accept external memory card, therefore the memory space to upload maps is very limited on this GPS. Can MAPSource load just the map only into the GPS without loading all other built-in point of interests from the map.

Thank you in advance

How to crack Garmin Lock for Nuvi 360 and probably other Nuvi models.

I have Garmin 255W with the 2010 map installed. I am trying to enter a hotel address into my GPS. I have tried every conceivable approach with no success. For example I tried entering the city name and my GPS did not find any city in Utah named Bryce Canyon. The address I am trying to enter is:

Best Western Rubys Inn
1000 S. Hwy 63
Bryce Canyon, UT 84764 USA

Hello everyone im new with gps systems but i finally bought my first one a couple days ago (GARMIN NUVI 780). i recently activated the msn direct trial but i have one big issue. The local events feature says there are no local events nearby and it needs a couple of hours to gather the data... i have tried calling customer support and they have resent the signal.

Anyone have practical suggestions for the following problem:

I've installed Gamin and MapSourse on my Home Desktop but would now like to have everything loaded on my Laptop which I can take with me on motorcycle trips throughout Canada and the US.

Any solutions other than:

a) uninstalling from the PC and installing to the Laptop (has anyone done this and is it fault proof?); or
