Garmin tech support (wait times)
Has anyone noticed that the wait time for Garmin tech support is getting longer? Or is it my imagination?
About a year ago, I could call at 8 am central time and get right through, then transfered quickly to another specialist. The last couple of times I tried at 8 am central, I had to wait 10-15 minutes, then be transferred and wait another 30 minutes or more.

Airport Security
I know I've read several posts from time to time where some of you have taken your GPSr on an airplane. Has anyone ever had a problem with getting it by security? I'm flying to San Diego next week and wanted to take mine with me. I plan to carry it in my pocket rather than put it in my suitcase because I don't want it to become lost or damaged.

Big thanks to Dave817 -
The Harley Davidson Dealer POI you developed has been super helpful as we traveled throughout the country. In fact, we're head to California from Alaska tomorrow and the POI will help us during our trip. Thanks! FreddyP

265T sound issues
I could not find anything about what I am going to ask so I thought here would be a good start.
Two times now I have been driving and the Nuvi 265T starts making a scratchy sound when you use the touch screen. A simple reboot work to get the audio sounding right again.
Anyone see this with the 265 or 2X5 models?

Audio issue
Occasionally I don’t hear the instructions from the nuvi and would like the unit to repeat. I read the owner’s manual for the 785T carfully, but nothing addresses that issue. Please don’t tell me that Garmin failed to include the option of having the unit repeat the last audio report. I tried touching all the corners, but no repeats. Did I miss something?

Hyundai & Garmin
I just got my spring flyer from Hyundai with a free oil filter coupon. On the next page there was a list for a Pre trip Checklist. The number one item on the list " Purchase a Garmin Nuvi Navigation system."

Map Icons when navigating
Hi, Just purchased a Garmin Nuvi 200W, good bit of kit for the money but I was just wondering about a few things and would like some info if possible.
On the main navigation map when driving I don’t see any icons when I pass by fuel stations or Parking lots, pubs etc; on my other sat navs I’ve seen all these icons.

POI Loader ERROR
I can download the Garmin POI Loader file (PC Vista) OK, but when I run the Garmin installer, I get an ERROR that states..."The Specified Path '%APPDATA%' is unavailable"
When I close the ERROR window, the installer says I've installed the POI Loader, but it's not anywhere to be found, no will it 'launch' when I hit the 'DONE' button...so I guess the ERROR is hanging up the install..

Individual countries vs europe city navigator
I notice Garmin publishes individual countries for Europe in addition to "Europe".
Is the content the same within a country, i.e., England standalone contains the same info as England in "Europe"?

Northern Baja problem
I took my nuvi 780 to northern Baja last weekend and found that immediately after crossing the border (Tijuana) it would freeze every five minutes or so. Had to power-off-then-on each time.
On a hunch, I unplugged the MSN-Direct power-cord and it stopped freezing.
It worked fine again with the MSN-Direct cable plugged in immediately after crossing the border back into the US.
Deleting Addresses
Can someone advise how to delete addresses from the "recently found" folder.. can you delete individual addresses or do you have to delete all of them.. also, how do you save an address in your "favorites"? Thanks
