Garmin talk

When you enter a destination to navigate to, and 255w navigates you there, does the navigation stop? Do you have to go into the menu and stop it on the main menu screen?

I tried sending an email to support, and they don't even read what I sent, they didn't get the type of garmin I had right. So I plan on calling them and see what they say.

thanks,

I was really excited to travel to Seattle and Vancouver with my new Nuvi 760 this past week. I loaded a speed trap and red light camera file, a Starbuck POI and installed all of the upgrades. I was expecting this thing to tell me exactly where to go. I soon found out that it would not be so straight forward.

Background

I just bought a radar detector and Escort have a nice doodad to wire it directly to the fuse box.

Is there a similar item for the Garmins? As the cigarette lighter adapter has a fuse in it I'm assuming that this would be needed in the direct-to-fuse box solution too.

Any youtube video's or DIY pages anywhere?

thanks

Upon running the POI loader it does not give me the option of identifying files to load into my NUVI 760. Program runs so fast I cannot identify what it has loaded. Any suggestions?

I've been searching online for info on the 885T but found very little useful info from actual users so I'm hoping that somebody here actually has this device.

Ok, I have been out of the whole GPSr scene for awhile. However, I want to buy a new GPSr that has the same features as my 350 and more (such as PSL). Which one is the best to get?

What are the steps of downloading poi's to sd card so gps device can read it. nuvi 255w

Get it via WebUpdater (as usual). I don't have this unit...I'm just passing along the info.

The speed and red light alerts have appeared on my media files and will play when my mp3 files are playing.I cant seem to erase them from my media file.
Does any body have any suggestions?

My handheld Etrex Venture CX has a feature that allows you to edit a waypoint (aka "favorite") by choosing "Reposition Here". What this does is change the location of the waypoint in the unit's memory, to your current location. Do any of the Nuvis have a similar feature? Frequently I will enter an address, and when I reach my destination I find that the coordinates are not accurate.

does anyone know if there is software to make the volume on the mp3 alerts all the same??!!

thanks

Hello All,

I recently updated my Nuvi 260 software and map. Currently I have software 5.00 and the latest 2009 map.

When I try to enter an address "Where to? ->Address" and type in the city, it always comes back with "No Matches Found".

However it will still work if I enter a favorite or a POI.

Has anyone else encountered this??

Thanks for the help!!

I have loaded all my custom POI on my new 265WT and they seem to go by them about 1 block before the alert sounds. I tried with Dunkin Donuts, B.of A. ATMs, and Starbucks. They all went by them. I used the built in POIs in the unit and had the same problems. On my 260 and my old 255W, they were right on. I thought that a newer model would be better.

Why doesn't it stop navigation when it reaches destination? I have a streetpilot c340 and does stop navigation when it reaches destination. I just got the nuvi 255w, but have updated to the latest software and the latest maps.

thanks,

I have a Nuvi 265WT. When I use the Favorites, Edit, Attach Photo, to attach a photo to a favorite, I like that I get a smail preview of the photo on the left side of the view when I'm searching the list of favorites. How do I do the same with POIs?

ANY 885t USERS OUT THERE?
I just got mine and am getting used to it. When I went online to register it I got the message "this unit has already been registered" What's up with that?

My Street Pilot 2720 has been a marvellous GPS now for 3 years, but I couldn't pass up the voice activation, next turn, and lane assist features. Don't know how I got along without them

Has anyone tried driving from near the Washington DC area to Baltimore, MD using US-29 going through Columbia?

This is the second time I'm trying it and the issue is still there even after map update from when I first noticed it in december.
