Is this worth waiting for? Anyone know a real release date?

My Garman 350 is 2+ years old. Recently, I noticed it took much longer to boot the 350 up (from pressing the "on/off" button to the appearance of the "Agree" button on the screen) . In addition, it also takes much longer for the unit to find the necessary number of satellite connections. Any suggestions?

I was wondering if anyone has had a similar situation with a Garmin Nuvi(mine 660). I am aware that if turned on with a certain security zone that the GPS will recognize and boot; but, I have found that if I am at a different location and simply power up the unit, after a certain period of time (a few minutes), it will go to the "view map" page.

I looked first but couldn't find any threads on this...

Does anyone know what angle the map and vehicles are displayed at in the 3d map view?

The new cityXplorer maps (downloadable content) are now available for many Garmin units including the nuvi (click on the Accessory Maps link).

Costco dropped the price of the Nuvi 855 $200 to $299.99. The prices keep falling.

On my 260W only the ferry avoidance option is checked. Do you check U-Turns and dirt roads?

Hi. I am new at this web sight. I have one question. Is there a way to load POIs by state rather than by File Categories? Can I load the POIs for the state I live in being restaurants, shopping, schools ect. Thanks for any help.

Have a Garmin Nuvi 260w. Cannot load POI Files? When I download from site it only allows opening in Excel format. Need detailed instruction....Please help!

Has anyone else noticed that Garmin data regarding posted speed limits is significantly inaccurate in various parts of Southern Arizona.

Example;

Cortaro Road, east of I-10. The actual speed limit is 40!

I-10 through downtown Phoenix, there's a speed camera just east of the tunnel, posted speed is 65, Nuvi says 55. I couldn't believe that one....

Hello everyone, Im new to this site. Does anybody here have school zones or speed limit alert files and where do I can get it from free or paid? Thanks in advance.

I downloaded a poi file of a scenic drive I am going to take along the Blue Ridge Pkwy and skyline drive. I sucessfully uploaded it to my sd card within my gps. Is there a way I can see the route that is plotted on google earth or anything else?

thnks

I just had the problem yesterday using my Nuvi 360 on a trip. Normally when the vehicle icon goes along the purple highlight direction trail, the purple highlight will disappear once the vehicle icon passes it. However, now the purple trail will not disappear once the vehicle icon passes over it.

I have noticed that Jill and Jack American TTS voices handle words/street names differently. In my neighbourhood one street is called Westbrook Ave.

If I use Jill, she calls it Westblook Ave. but if I use Jack, he calls it right Westbrook Ave.

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
