Hello again! Any way to turn off voice prompts without muting the entire device? Looking for a ding when I am to turn instead of the voice. Was possible on my nuvi 660.
Thanks!

Just bought Nuvi 255W to replace Nuvi 660 when antenna stopped working.

Is there a way to transfer my favorites from my old nuvi to the new one?

Thanks!

Anyone else see the post on Garmins Blog? Sounds really cool!

Only problem right now is that the link is dead and I can't see if my GPS is compatable.

I'm looking to upgrade from my Nuvi 200 and am looking at several units. Each has good points and bad points.

Nuvi 255W. Added several nice features but no multistop route planning.

Nuvi 755. Added route planning and has every feature I rally want but is high priced. Free traffic lifetime is nice since I like to travel.

I have a 1st gen Iphone and am having problems pairing - I turn on bluetooth on both devices, but get an error pairing to phone on the C550.

i'm on the latest update on the iphone - not sure what firmware on the C550, though.

I bought a 4 gig SDHC card for my Nuvi then found out that my computer can't read it. I thought I'd have to buy a separate reader to load it, but then I got the idea to try it from my Nuvi. Turns out that the Nuvi works as a reader! When I plugged it in the Nuvi came up as a drive and the card inside it came up as separate drive.

it asks for gmapsupp.unl even for unlocked maps. WTF ? now i cant put my bermuda maps downloaded off the web on it. why does garmin do such stupid things ?

I just got my first car GPS (Nuvi 265 WT) yesterday and upon first connecting it to my computer a message from Nod32 popped up. The message was E:\Autorun.inf and the threat being the INF/Autorun virus. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you resolve it?

Thanks

Just got a SD memory card and loaded a bunch of POI and maps, etc which is too much to put onto device itself, and everytime i turn on my nuvi a screen pops up stating something like "PROGRAMS FOUND ON MEMORY CARD. DO YOU WANT TO INSTALL ON DEVICE TO USE INCASE MEMORY CARD IS REMOVED..Y/N?"

Hello: Just want to know what is the use of the "screen shot" any way???, personally I can not find any real use of it; or maybe I'm missing something that I don't know???

Please tell me how do you use it!!!

Thanks: FRGG

Hi, I know how to use POILoader to load custom bitmaps with custom POI's, but what if I want to have a collection favorites, that I want to show up with a custom wayoint icon. Is this possible?

Is there a program that tell you mph on street and how fast you are going Like the tom tom has. and If so where can I find it.david5143

I am able to download and load Mapquest routes to my Garmin 350 successfully but cannot access them on my GPS.
Any ideas
Thanks

Good luck! http://www.fox.com/24/garmin/

I've searched and looked for an answer, most likely there is a terminology gap.

When I add a custom POI the points are not available using the POI 'search' function. Is this only for the built in POI's or will it work with GPX type files?
