Mobile XT Tour Guide/proximity alerts?
I have a Palm TX with Garmin Mobile 10 for Smartphones. It sort of turns the Palm TX into a nuvi, with added features, but somewhat different menus in different places.

Broke The Speaker? (Nuvi 760)
Here's one I don't recall seeing before. I was using the 760 in my wife's car today so it wasn't connected to the car stereo. A ways into my journey Karen sounded like she was getting a sore throat then she came down with total laryngitis. I couldn't get voice, couldn't get a beep nada. Everything else was working fine.

Deleting voices
Hello, I just started "playing" with my Garmin Nuvi 265WT. Is it ok to delete all the "forgien" voices stored in my Garmin? I thought this would open up space in the memory.
Thanks

Got rid of 760 License Agreement on starting nag screen.
In 5 really easy steps.
1. Change language to British English instead of American English (you can keep karen/american voices -- no difference)
2. Mount nuvi as usb device on PC.
3. Open up wordpad and edit the british language gpp file in Garmin/text on the nuvi.

Reverse route
This has probably been asked before but I can’t find it. On my old Garmin or my Lowrance (for the boat), I can reverse any route to track back to the starting location. I don’t see such a feature with the Garmin 750. So far I’ve just selected the starting point to track back and let the Garmin re-calculate every time I take a slightly different route than the one Garmin picked.

Nuvi Trip Planning Capability
I'm a new Nuvi 255W owner and the first thing I wanted to do was plan a trip from Texas to Florida. While the routing algorithm seemed to work quickly and the route displayed on the map looked reasonable, I couldn't find any summary of the trip (total miles, estimated travel times, etc.) as would be found with a typical PC-based mapping program.

How to upload icon
How about this technology,heh? I have owned a C330 for a little over 3 years and have loved it (99.6% of the time). The occasional "recalculating" at the wrong time would tear at my nerves but overall it has been a rock-solid workhorse.

Garmin Mobile XT for Symbian.
I have a few unlocked maps in mapsource (i.e. japan and bermuda maps from rwsmaps.griffel.se). I wanted to put those on garmin mobile XT loaded on my samsung symbian phone. Is it possible to do it ? should i just use mapsource ? will it overwrite the existing city navigator locked maps loaded on the phone in XT already ?

Cigarette light adapter that transmits Bluetooth/Voice directions through car's speakers?
Is there such a gadget out there that not only charges my Garmin Nuvi but also connects the Bluetooth phone conversation and Garmin's Jack, Jill and Samantha's voice directions through the car's speakers? Yes, that would interrupt the AM/FM stereo music that is playing temporarily.

Which Garmin car/object gives the best location indication?
Hi everyone! From your experience with the 3D screen, which Garmin car or object gives the best car or object's actual location indication on the Garmin screen as you're driving.
I noticed that Nintendo's Mario is kind of slow moving in that I drove past Norwood Avenue before Mario did the same on the screen. Or should I go to a 2D screen to get a better location indication?

Turn right on Magnus St. then turn left
I programmed my Garmin 265WT to direct me to Fleet Avenue. I decided to just trust Samantha's voice directions and aided by the actual street signs. She told me to "Turn right on Magnus St. then turn left". I did what she said and I turned right on Magnus St. when I saw the street sign "Magnus" and then I looked to see how I could turn left IMMEDIATELY and guess what?
