Garmin talk

Is it a good idea to buy Nuvi 765T from ebay? I will appreciate your feedback.

Hello:

For those interested, most of the local Best Buy stores here in the SoCal area are now listing the nuvi 885T as being in stock for in-store pickup.

Hopefully, it won't be discontinued in a few months like it's predecessor.

Is GDB 50 compatible with Nuvi 765 or you need GDB 55?
I will appreciate your feedback.

Since people are finding lifetime deals on the lifetime maps, which is so cool, has anyone seen a better price on the lifetime traffic?

The Seller posted the item as NEW saying that they buy surplus. They did not think the item was used.

Seller Post:
"Item is NEW and in the original open package. In the event that this product registration key has been used by the store for any reason..there is an 800 number on the package that can be called. Garmin has stated that they will reissue the license key for the item."

I have recently downloaded several POI files from this site that had only the coordinates in them. No addresses, location names, etc. This makes use of the files very difficult. Addresses have to have been available or the author of the file could not have found the coordinates. Why they didn't get put in the files is a puzzle to me.

One of the 760s we have in our trucks was hung up with a blue screen that said "updating Blue Tooth firmware - 0%". I disconnected the power and rebotted it and it came up okay. Is this something the Blue Tooth compatible units do (ie - reaching out for firmware updates via satellite)?

How many of you own a Garmin GPS and have also purchased additional maps?

I bought the Nuvi 360 when it was first released along with City Navigator Europe and Australia maps. At the time Garmin allowed one additional install. I used this additional install on my replacement Nuvi 660.

I am pretty new to POIs. if i install POIs using the POI loader in express install mode, will the sound files play when i am near a POI? or do i need to manualy set them to play using the manual mode?
I did set Proximity point alerts to ON on my GPS unit.

I have The Nuvi 660.

Thanks

Good Deal?

Does anybody upgrade garmins for a small fee?

Is there any Garmin maps for truckers. Too many times my Garmine wants to send me down a back country road that I should not be on.

Introduce myself: Purchased Garmin Streetpilot 2730 (w/XM) for use on a motorcycle. Planning 4000 mile trip over a week in May. Garmin does some things well, some things I'm disappointed in. Any help with any of these questions would be greatly appreciated:

Hello, Does anyone know if the Nuvi 200 can talk Greek? It allows me to change the keyboard and all to greek but I have not been able to figure out how to change the voice to greek, if at all posible.
Thanks

Just wondering if any one else has updated their Nuvi and added the Eco Route function?

I have a Garmin Nuvi 205w
I've made and downloaded some POI files.

So I got the program to put the files on my garmin, no problem. I put one of the POI files on my garmin, worked well. I then checked my garmin to make sure it worked, SWEET. This is easy.
I then put the next file on it. Check my garmin to make sure it's there and YES! but the first POI file I put on it was gone.

With the 705 series, when you are on a route driving, I don't know if it is related to using the french version but is seems that one third of the green bar on the top, besides the green arrow box, is unable to show any text. most of the time, there is enough space to display the whole street title but only part of it is shown and a large part of the bar remain unused....

Is ther any other big difference between the two besides buletooth? I check it on Garmin site, I could find only bluetooth difference.

Does Nuvi 755T or 765T support SD or HCSD cards?
I will apprecite your feedback.
