nuvi 755t -- battery

I can only get 2 hours out of my new 755t. I have it connected to my car charger for the FM traffic and thought that would keep the GPS battery charged. What do I do on a 7 hour trip if the battery is only good for 2 hours?

FM Traffic

Is the FM traffic option available in Canada? I currently have a 760 NUVI.

Thanks in Advanced

can anybody give feedback on MAD MAPS on garmin website

was curious if it a good product?

Garmin pointers

When the 3D pointer indicates when to turn ,what is the part of the arrow to go by. The tip ,center,or tail?It would help to know for turns in a very tight spot or multiple exits very close together.

Nuvi Bluetooth Problem

Was curious if anyone else had this problem since this is my third device and the problem continues.

I have a 265wt (Nuvi) after several days of being paired with my iPhone it starts shutting off, then coming back on. If I disconnect my bluetooth feature from talking with my iPhone then the GPS unit stays on.

POI icons

I've downloaded POI icons from POI Factory & transfered to nuvi 765T, but I can't find them on it.not with other POI icons any suggestions on how to get POI icons from web site to nuvi 765T icon tray

How to re-install speech files on 765?

Looks like messed up Jill file on 765 while fixing it with speech_doctor. Now it speaks few names even funier. Is there any way to update these files? Unfortunately, I forgot backup file. Are 760 files same? If that is is the case then I have bakup. I will appreciate your help.

Lifetime Maps, read the fine print....

nuvi Lifetime Map subscription is not what it sound like. The subscription is tied to you current unit. Have it stolen and there goes you lifetime subscription. Sell the unit to upgrade to a newer Garmin and you have to buy a new Lifetime subscription. The same is true for FM Traffic.

Site to Generate GPI or GPX Files

Has anyone tried this site? Maybe it's been discussed before. I've had a lot of fun generating POi's with descriptions, sound and a picture.

Here it is: http://www.geovative.com/

I submitted a WV attractions route. Now on my Garmin, I have a poi list that has descriptions of hours, rates, etc.

Nuvi 760 - Red Lips with an X Through them

My Nuvi 760 stoped doing TTS Speech a few days ago, and I noticed at the main menu, there's a Red Lip Icon with a Grey X Through it. I tried changing the language, to American English, and tried both Jack and Jill, but it's still there, and no voice turn notifications.

Anyone know what might be up, and how to fix it?

Thanks for your help.

Current.gpx

When I access my Streetpilot c550 on my computer the curent.gpx file does not show up. I have copied it before but for some reason it is not now available. I have done a search on the removable disk (Garmin SP c550) to no avail. I do find the POI.GPI file in the GPX sub directory and have opened it (after conversion) and it isn't the Favorites file data.

Catagorizing POI's

I have many POI's on my Garmin 755T, but they are all under the heading of Custom POI's. You can only search for one of the POI's or all of them at once. Is there a way of placing groups together under common headings? When I'm looking for fuel, I want all the fuel stops but not the resturants and other POI's I have.

Battery life

Probably been asked before but here goes.....How long should I expect my battery in my 750 to last. I don't mean run time but how long before it won't hold a charge again?

Why are Gaqrmin 7x5s not listed...

Any one know why Garmin 7x5s not listed in the Updates & Downloads section of the Garmin web site? How will we know if an update is available unless we use webupdater all the time? What about not having a high speed connection available all the time? You cannot just download the update file then update your unit at a later time.

Speed Limits Updated in Version 209.1?

Does anybody know if speed limits on roads have been expanded over the previous version? I am really impressed that my nuvi 750 displays speed limits on many roads and would be excited if this has been updated to include more. I've updated, but haven't had a chance to see if some more roads are included.

Garmin 765T Crashed

My 765T crashed without warning. I entered a security code the night before and it worked the next day for approx. 18 miles and than the screen went blank and the unit could not be restarted. It was under warranty and a replacement is being obtained from Garmin. The unit was connected to satellites on 11/27/08. I am disappointed.

Convinced oldskoolers to use GPS

I've had my Garmin 350 for about 3-4 years now (i think). Friends and family made fun of me for having one. Others, make fun of me because they just think it's too difficult to use.
