Changes from version 4.30 to version 4.40:
Note: Due to new POIs in recent maps, this update enables display of POIs on the map. If you would like to disable them, touch 'Tools -> Settings -> Map -> Down Arrow -> Enabled (adjacent to Show POIs) -> Hide All'.
Corrected POI display behavior in newer maps.
Improved handling of Safety Camera messages.

I have a nuvi 680 and it seems to give me different directions to the same place from the same route sometimes, and i havent changed the shortest route or the fastest time setting. One time it will take me one way and the next time maybe a diffferent route , anyone else experience this ?

While running a backup on my computer, I noticed the software backing up .gmp files. A quick search showed that when I upgraded my new 780 maps to 2009, it appears a Garmin folder was created with a sub folder called Product1 with about a gig of gmp files each in it's own sub folder. Anyone know what these are and do I need to keep them?

Hi,

Via WebUpdater...

Or you can download the v3.40 region file update here:

To use the region file to update, connect your nuvi to the PC and drag the downloaded file to WebUpdater.

Changes from version 3.30 to version 3.40:

I've been surprising myself by how easy it is to make personal POI's using the Extra_POI_Editor. However, I have a question. I put an alert signal of 50 or 75 meters on a residendual address and the Garmin never beeps unless I have that particular address programmed as the destination. I thought it was supposed to beep when we drove by enroute to another destination. I'm using a Nuvi 260.

A few days ago I bought the one time update from garmin to update my original 350(i was tired of the outdate maps alert) After downloading and installing(a time consuming process) it installed version 2009.11 and version 6.0 on my 350 and 2009.11 on my comuter garmin map.Great.

Hello everyone! I bought my first Nuvi (885T) last week and I love it. I have one question. some of the POI's stay on the map even when I have disabled them or am I missing something? I thought u could disable all POI's?

I have the newest updates loaded.

Please Enlighten me!

just got a new Nuvi 205w and was wondering

How do I determine if I have the newest maps available?

if I don't I will be getting a hold of Garmin to see If I can get the newest version.

A friend of mine is looking at the Garmin 885 and the 785. Looks like the only difference is the 785 has 3D buildings and the 885 doesn't. The 885 has everything else plus voice command. Which would you recommend?

I still like my 760. It does everything I need it to do and I bought the MSN package. Of course, the XX5 have the upgraded MSN (more gadgets!).

My 770 and my Motorola Razer work well together over Bluetooth with one exception: Calling Home.

My first post - please bear with me.

I'm looking at getting a new nuvi, does anyone know witch units come with Traffic included, a 4.3 inch screen, and the new UI that shows he next turn at the top left. I know the most expensive newest ones have those and more, but I'm on a budget.

I am replacing my 760 with lifetime traffic(that I bought separately)and saw the 205W, but I want traffic included.

I have a 265wt. I recently installed the Red Light camera Poi's. Afterwards it would notify me when I approached an intersection in my area that had a RLC. This no longer happens. I reinstalled the file, but still no notification. I check and I have POI enabled. Any ideas on what else it could be?

I've been looking at a couple of diffrent models, the 760 and the 755t. And even though I don't travel all that much, I was still going to get the 755t because of the "lane assist" and because it has Hotfix. But after reading some of your posts, it appears that some of you think hotfix is more hype then help. Let me ask you this..

Hi,

I have this sound file in my 255W but can't get it to work.

The POI file is: TimHortons.csv

The sound file is: TimHortons.mp3

Why doesn't it work?

I followed the thread on the Security Lock and don't quite understand it. OK, I put in a security lock on a secrete place and not in front of my house for obvious reasons. This is where I'm lost. How does that work now. Every time I drive by this place the unit unlocks and when I leave it locks again? Do I have to put this code in every time I turn on the unit in front of my house?

I have a Garmin Nuvi 750. The turn by turn voice has stopped working. I have tried to reset the unit and updated the operating software, but the turn by turn voice still does not work... any suggestions?
