Garmin talk

this is an all call to everyone that has a Nuvi 765T, lets here all of the good the bad and ugly things about this unit!

Does anyone know a good source for custom voices to download for a Garmin Nuvi 350? The stock Garmin voices are pretty stale/mechanical.

Thanks in advance.

HI all,
I have a Garmin C550 and the traffic expired and I don't want to renew. I use my C550 on both my car and motorcycle. With the cigarette lighter plugged in to the C550, the traffic antenna was flashing, even the cable wasn't connected to power.

I'm wondering if there is a way to disable it completely?
Any diagnostic hack to disable the traffic?

Thanks.

I just got a Garmin 200w for Christmas. It's really been an amazing little unit to use so far.

For the pst few years I have been using a Garmin chartplooter on my boat, using Garmin's Blue Charts on micro sd card. I was wondering if there is a way to use the 200w as a back up GPS on my boat, on coastal waters?

Hi all:

This is probably a user problem, so be kind if you need to just correct this poor user...

Has anybody ever come up with, or seen, a flat 90 deg mini usb connector that could be used with the Nuvi power cable?

I downloaded and thought I properly updated my nuvi 880 about 2 weekends ago. However, it hasn't stopped giving me the message it is UPDATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE, and it won't cycle into viewing the map, orthe satellites, or letting itself appear as a drive on my computer.

Any way to have the units beep when you exceed local speed limits by a certain amount. Local speed limits must be in the unit if it calculates arrival times?

Is there a way to delete the Garmin Splash Screen? I replaced mine with an image I no longer want displayed. If Possible, I'd like to revert back to the Original Splash screen. It's a NUVI 250.

Any help is appreciated. I'm giving this GPS Away, so the new owner can replace it if they like.

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone done the following?

Clocked how long his/her Nuvi 760 battery took to run down at home. Was it close to 5 hours as Garmin's specs stated? Will a "dead" Nuvi unit operate immediately upon being plugged into the cigarette lighter?

After inputting a 4-digit password security code, how does one then go about creating a customized boot-up splash screen with text that says "Property of John Doe" (no last name - for your protection) with an email address, cell phone number and "Reward for Return of GPS"?

Created my first set of custom POIs with custom icons for my new Garmin 750. As this was the first time out, I put in only 17 custom POIs. They appear in the right places, with the right icon, but there is a peculiar glitch:

Only 16 POIs show on the map, and only 16 are listed in the "Custom POIs" portion of the menu. But they are not the same 16.

how do i delete custom poi off the garmin 760 such as redlight cameras publx grocery store poi . thanks glenn

This is what the GPS reads

N 36° 07.104'
W092° 08 265'

Elev 438.70

I tried adding that and it said the info had to be within the US or Canada, it is though. Thanks!

i think i loaded poi and redlight camrea to my new 760 but i cant find them . on my old c 330 it would be in the favorites and then it would say custom poi . did i do something wrong . thanks glenn

I read something about putting the mp3 files into the folder with the poi stuff but , ok I am confused, anybody willing to spell it out for me

Hi all...

I just got a Nuvi 750 for Christmas and I have a question.

I installed the web updater and selected updates for 3 voices... When I looked at the unit, only 'Jill' was present. What happened to the other voices (e.g. Jack)? Now when I go and look, I can't see them anywhere to download.

*sigh*
