Garmin Addresses
I recently retired my beloved iQue 3600 for a Nuvi 255. In my address book I have a lot of my waypoints from my iQue 3600 that have the following type of description:
GARMIN 1A89EA48 AAFC86D0 B0024
Is there a way for me to use these waypoints so I don't have to reenter them all?
Thanks.

Help for Nuvi Newbie - Custom POI
Hello folks, new to the site. I've been checking it out for a few weeks and there's a lot of information.
I loaded a bunch of POIs onto a SD card, using the excellent categorization method discussed in this node:

Audible.com won't play on Refurb 880
My 8g microSDHC card for the refurbished Nuvi 880 is fine. The mp3s on it play fine. I can listen to the Audible.com books also on the card, as long as the card is not in the 880. It says the unit is not authorized for playing the books.

nRoute
Have been using nRoute + GPS18 on PC when travelling worldwide. The new City Nav. Europe 2009 AND future City Nav. North Am. will not pop up in nRoute. These updates will NOT be placed in C:\Garmin, and consequently not end up in the register! Information from Garmin US-support.

Voices have disappeared on 750
All of a sudden, the voices on my Nuvi 750 are gone. I turned the unit off for a food stop, then when I turned it back on, directions were not being spoken. The think has gone mute before and I had to go select the voice in the Languages setting, but this time i got a message "None Found" under voices.
Where did they go and how do i get them back?

Nuvi 660 BT SW downgrade...
Posted in another thread about an issue with the latest BT firmware upgrade, 3.40. Contacted Garmin, they sent me a file with version 3.10 which previously worked reliably until the upgrade.

Map icons in 3d Mode
With a nuvi 255W is there any way to have POI icons display as you are driving in route mode?
I have used the Navigon 2100 Power max and magellan maestro 42590 and this feature is easily accomodated.
I have not figured out whether it is available in teh Garmin.

The face behind the GPS voice finds fame “Australian-English Karen”
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/features/627161...
If you’ve ever used a GPS device for directions, you might already be acquainted with Karen Jacobsen. As the voice of “Australian-English Karen” in Garmin GPS products, she calmly instructs harried drivers to turn left, go 1.8 miles or “recalculate” their trips every day.

Nuvi 660 bluetooth issue
I've been upgrading SW versions to 4.50 and having bluetooth work successfully with my Samsung u430. I upgraded to SW version 4.70 and am now having an issue where even though the units are bluetoothed I cannot answer a call on the Nuvi. The screen that used to appear saying "incoming call answer/ignore?" doesn't appear. Neither does the Nuvi 'ring'.

What's it Worth??
I am thinking of selling my Nuvi 255W to upgrade to a Nuvi 765T. I paid $220.00 from Amazom last Oct. I also bought a Garmin AC Charger for $17.00. I do know that the price has come down. I want to be fair in selling it. I have found many 350,200, and 260's for sale, but not any of the XX5 series. How much do you think that I should ask for it.

POI Icon color
Several months ago I purchased a 765t and used it without any custom POI’s installed. This past weekend I decided to install the custom POI’s from my older 750 into the new unit. The problem I have now is that the icons are all showing up in a light blue and not the original colors. Some of these bmp’s I made and some were downloaded.
which are better// gpx files OR csv files
If I have the choice, which files are better CSV or GPX or something else??
Go Leafs Go.... Well, maybe next year ;(
