Garmin talk

Is there any better websites to get poi's? How do I install icons and sounds to my nuvi 265wt? I have the 265wt coming in the mail on Friday. Can anyone tell me did I make a good choice?

760 may cost half as much. lets say gpsmagazine's website is pushing me toward the 765t. im looking to get that free traffic and supposedly barely noticable free traffic.

is 765t compatible with msn? do you guys recommend it?

I happened into a Best Buy one evening with $40.00 burning a hole in my already shabby Dockers.

Looks like we will have to wait tilll the latter part of the year for Garmin to release its nuviphone. See article http://tinyurl.com/c4cp37

Hi all:

Does anyone know how to change/hack the default screen for the Garmin Nuvi 660? Right now, after the Warning Screen, it goes to the Menu Screen; I have to select "View Map" to continue. How can I get it to go directly to the Map upon startup?

Thanks

Okay, can someone please explain in media player what the 2 opposite directions button mean and the other arrow that appears to be recirculate mean? THX!

well, I got my replacement 765T from Garmin, after mine died, and it came with firmware 2.50.

I would have thought that Garmin would upgrade the firmware on the refurb units before they ship them out, but I guess not.

I just downloaded a map from http://gpsmapsearch.com/ The file type is IMG after I extract it out of the ZIP file.

I'm trying to use sendmap20 that I download from http://www.cgpsmapper.com/buy.htm to "install" (not sure if that's the correct term) the new map onto my Nuvi 760 SD card without overwriting anything in my GPS internal memory. Is this possible?

Noticed this the other day driving home and I went into my favorites to check something and saw the Last Position was my home address and not the last place where I had taken the unit of the cradle.

Can anyone assist me in this endeavor?

I can't get my custom poi's to work on my 765t. I followed the instructions listed with the Garmin Nuvi GPS Tricks and Tips Web site and can't get them to work. The one file I downloaded was Bank of America ATM's and there is one around the corner from my house but the alert dosen't come on.

I am a real greenie. Sorry.
I have a garmin nuvi 200. I have the coordinates where I want to go. when I enter them it says there are no roads. That is true, there are no roads. They are coordinates for property markers for a new subdivision. How do I locate the cordinates? Any ideas what I need to do?
Thank you.

How come this weeks Combined Wineries List is about 52 KB but the one I downloaded on 4/16 is about 83 KB???

What have I missed? Which is correct?

Thanks.

I have a garmin 680. The bluetooth feature works well with all of my bluetooth enabled phones for speakerphone function. . . except for the iphone 3G. Microphone doesn't work. Is there a special setting I need to enable on either device?

I would like to up grade my 650 to 855..can someone give me some feed back about the Nuvi 885..I like it because of the lane assist..and the updated map..and Costco is selling them @ $399 Canadian a piece after May 11..THX!

I have a Garmin c550 and a Garmin 755T and I have never downloaded any POI's. Could someone give me some instruction?

I was wondering if anyone knows when the new maps for this year will be released?? I saw that Best Buy has the 255wt for $199 and am thinking of picking one up but would like to know when the new maps come out so i know i would still be within the 60 day free upgrade timefrime. Thanks

I saw a lot of questions about Costa Rica Garmin maps, so I wanted to post this GREAT site ...
http://www.gpstravelmaps.com

I was going off to Costa Rica and I could not find any Costa Rica maps that were detailed enough for me so these guys said that they would map it for me. They even drove through rivers.

I had the most amazing trip from Tamarindo to Malpais!

I see that Costco has the Garmin 885T for $299.00 after a $200 savings. I wanted to get some feedback on what everyone thinks of this model. Is it a good choice as a replacement.
