Garmin talk

garmin has added another new sound file "ELFRED" (go to garmin garage / voices)in an effort to provide content that has been requested by some of their clients.

Accessing custom POIs on Nuvi 780

I have loaded custom POIs created by GeePeeEx as .gpx files but I do not see a menu to use the file. How do I actually run the file?

Yes, it's on GPSMagzine.com, so no flames please, but does seem to be a good review of the differences.

If you look under comments one person complains about the green bar on top not showing upcoming cross streets which was a topic on the 760 vs 765 thread here.

Garmin came out with a new vehicle. A snazzy red van!

I discovered that I can have multiple POIs in my nuvi 205W. They are listed as menu choices in the unit when viewing the custom POI screen. I checked around the forums here and don't see this method detailed so here goes:

I'm torn between the nuvi760 and the 265wt. I like the added features of the 760 but the cleaner look of the map screen on the 265wt.

Hello everyone,

I wish someone will be able to help me with this little problem: When my sister use her Garmin 660 unit the GPS just can't connect on any satellites even after almost an hour on the road. She received some messages asking her "if she went over 100 miles", "if she's using the unit indoor", "reconfirm her position", etc.

Wow, these newer Nuvi's sure inexpensive.

Much more than my Nuvi 360.

Is the technology different in these new units, or did they just make them cheaper?

Do the newer units for $150.00 and less perform as good as the 350 and 360 Nuvi's?

how do you recieve the trip log from my 255w to mapsource it keeps on saying there is a error and i need to send the error to garmin.i know how to start to get the data after it is hooked up to the computer but then tries to read and then the error comes up,any help would be great.

I put many POIs on my garmin 200 and the more I add the slower they load. Does it help them to load faster if you put them in sub folders?
Thanks

Hi all,
Am pretty new to GPS - I have no trouble adding gpx poi's but cannot seem to get the csv pois to work. Can anyone help me overcome what I am sure is a stupid problem caused by ignorance.

I have a nuvi 780 and Mapsource 2008

I would appreciate it greatly.

Is there anyway for the MP3s to sound better out of the radio speakers with the 660?

How can I add an address to a favorite that I saved by clciking on the map. I woudl liek to add an address like other favorites have.

Have Nuvi 760 with Bluetooth. I can pair my HTC Touch (Sprint), no problems. It uploads all contact info and notifies me who's calling and many more features, but I have a Bluetooth head set which I prefer to use for several reasons. The problem is that when the 760 is paired to my phone I can not use my headset even though it is paired with my phone.

Hi all;

A friend at work has a Nuvi 760 and he said he found a file on the unit that logs your trips even without choosing a route to navigate. I do not recall the file name, but I will find out and edit my post with the name.

Anyone else know of this?

Hi,
I have a c330 that I got from the mother in law. The charger that is integrated into the windshield mount is broken. It is just the little metal tab that engages in the GPS to charge when it is in the mount. I don't want to buy a whole new mount. Is there any source for this little plug piece? Any info is greatly welcome.

Just curious if anyone out there can create an alert sound that says: "Possible Speed Trap Ahead".

Thanks in advance.

I think my wife is having an affair.

Is there a way to look at the trip log, and see where it has been going for the last few days? Otherwise, what is the point of it besides putting a blue line on the purple one?

In brief :
- Files over 2 Gigabytes on SD card supported (Limit is probably 4GB - that 2G map size limit reported is B.S.)
- Total maps near 6GB supported (if you can stay below the 4005 segment limit which i cant).
- Map segments below 4005 supported.

internal built in CN NT 63 1.6G

I just recently upgraded from a C340 to a Nuvi 255W (and love it so far).

I did notice a couple of things, though, that react differently, and wonder if anybody has a solution.
