Garmin talk

Sorry if this question is answered somewhere else on the forum but I have a quick question about the traffic subscription.

Does the 255W or the 265W BOTH come with LIFETIME TRAFFIC subscriptions?

Or maybe I should ask... Does the 255W have the same traffic capabilities as the 265WT?

Still learning my 750, most of my best education has come from this site, clearly not the manual. So if I have the process correctly, these are the steps to load a route from Mapsource to 750

Upload route using Mapsource
Import route from file

Just got the 750 and have been doing a lot of reading on this site. Found the thread about using google earth and mapquest to create routes. So create a route in mapquest from point A to point B. Let's say it takes a route that I want to modify. So I drag the route on mapquest to take a couple different roads. I click on update route.

Hi all !!
Is there anyway to make categories from custom poi's ??

Like making a CAMPING categori or a WAL-MART... instead of grouping them in only one place (custom poi)

PS: Sorry for my bad english

Thank you.

I just finished running the Garmin WebUpdater.It show I had the latest software.Continue on to next screen and seen the update called Localization Dat,XML File. Anyone got any info on this and is it a necessary update.I know it was not there when I updated before from 4.50 to 4.60.

I am on my second Nuvi 765T and this suffers from the same problem as the original.

The screen goes blank for a millisecond several times and then powers down after about 80 minutes or so and refuses to restart for up to 15 minutes (On both vehicle and battery power)

Are the links broken to the POI files?

When I click the Garmin download button at the top of a particular POI page and select save or open the in the file dialog window, it disappears and the file is not open or saved. This happens with any file I select.

Any suggestions?

I have a Garmin 760 and have found many great poi's but how many is too much? If you add too many will it make the garmin sluggish?

Custom POI and alerts is there a waay to have them show up when just viewing the map. Sometime I'm out driving and not routing with the GPS but I have the map up. Is there a way to have the Custom POI and the proximity(sp) alerts working during this time.

ok i download poi files and installed them in my unit. i want to see how it works and looks for the new spots i have installed but the simulator says its going to take me 30 min to get there. is there a way to speed up the simulator or get closer to my spot i want to see. i want to see the icon and hear the sound for the new spot i put in.

1st i have been getting alot of help here and its great.

2nd, i downloaded the speedcam and redlight poi files and i want to have sound with them. i see theres alot of sound files for them. are there alot a differant sounds in each file or just 1 sound for each file?

I have semi-permanent mounted my 255W in my primary vehichle, but left it so I easily remove it to use in my secondary vehichle, only I don't want to have to move the power cord adapter as it is threaded behind the dash.

I have a garmin 339C and would like to know if there is a way to change the alert for the speed cameras. My unit does not have mp3 but can I change the sound or tones to be different. I would appreciate any help or referall to some article.

Thanks

I loaded POI of Speed cameras to my garmin.Then I tried to load different speed icons and alarm sounds accordance with those speed cameras. Now I have problem with these speed limits. There are so many different speed limits: 10, 15, ...70 mph. How do I know what's the speed limit on which speed camera?

Ok, as have several others, I posted that my 260W (purchased Black Friday at Best Buy) has many of the new style 255W features ... features Garmin specs say the 260W doesn't have (ie Where Am I? Next Turn Icon in upper left corner. Automatic Time Set)

I have a nuvi 265T, and want to take advantage of the ability to have image associated with my custom poi's. How do I do this. I don't want to have them as favorites, I want to have them as custom POI's.
I generate a gpx file to upload with POIloader, but don't know the proper syntax to add images.
thanks,

Hi everyone,

I've have a question about the calculated arrival time on the Nuvi 2xx series. I'm driving through several time zones, does the calculated arrival time shown at the local destination time zone or the time zone where you started ?

Thank you

Just got the new version (4.70) installed on my nuvi and so far so good. You mileage may vary! (LOL) One question, I have the ORIGINAL Bluetooth software on the unit, it shows as version 00.00 on the unit. My question is, should I install the new bluetooth version or just leave things be since it seems to work fine as it is?!

Ciao!

ok just joined here today and i know more then i could ever want. ok my question is 1st, is my garmin 205w compadable with garmin loader software for poi?

2nd, after loading a poi file, how will it work? i just setup a root like normal and the, say speedcam spots will just show up on my root with some kind of warning?

Garmin has released software updates for the Nuvi 800 series via webupdater, I noticed it has not released as a download as of yet, only via webupdater. I notice when I hooked up my 880 to receive the update, it said 850 so I have decided to hold off to see if another updated will be available soon. These are the changes:
Changes from version 3.10 to version 4.00:
