Garmin talk

So I create a route using MapSource and upload them to the GPS. While it would seem simple enough, they're not listed because I haven't "imported" them. Heck, my 2720 is smart enough to know if I upload them I want them.

Tested a whole bunch of cards with the nuvi 760.

A-Data SDHCCL616GB Turbo 16Gb Class 6 SDHC - Not working, 0/7 from batch tested. Does not read. Cannot format.

Patriot PSF16GSDHC6 16GB Signature Class 6 SDHC - Works perfectly. 5/5 from batch tested. Formatting, File Copy/Delete.

I bought a Nuvi 350 last year and decided to upgrade. The thing about the 350 I liked was that it had a Truck and Bus setting for navigation. Since I drive a charter bus, it really came in handy. I bought a Nuvi 760 this week, bus the Truck and Bus setting is missing! Does anyone know if there is a software upgrade for this, and if not, how can you tell what units have this setting....

I successfully paired my phone and 765t, but now I’m wondering if I can add a Bluetooth ear piece. I would like all the audio to come to the ear piece as well as have the ability to use the phone through the 765t. In other words not pairing the ear piece to the phone itself. Has any one had any experience with this?

I am successfully using Google Maps to locate an address and send the name and coordinates to my Nuvi 350 favorites. This saves me from punching in the information on my Nuvi. Google maps also provides the address and phone number and displays this information as if it will be sent also. However, the only information displayed in my favorites is the name and coordinates.

I know the site members have came up with several ideas to keep from having to update certain custom pois every time they run the poiloader.Other methods include adding key words and speeds to the title as listed in Poiloader help.I contacted Garmin to suggest since you can add key words and speed to a title and still use the express mode .Why couldn't a key word be associated to add miles to cust

I must be missing something. From reading the posts here, I was under the impression that EasyGPS was similar to Mapsource in capabilities, but apparently much easier to use.

I have Mapsource, and it shows maps with POI's, routes etc., and the streets.

Unsure if this is a setting or not but on my old nuvi 760 in View Map mode it would show the upcoming streets as you were driving in the header.

On the 765T it just shows driving on "street name" on the header. Not changing to show upcoming street. I kinda liked this option.

Hi everyone,

I've got a question regarding Garmin Nuvi low cost model such as the Nuvi 200W which is price about $120 vs other Nuvi models which cost about $500 or more.
The high cost models, besides all other whistles and bells such as the MP3 player, FM traffic receiver, XM radio etc.....

I have Nuvi 350. Do you know approximately how my favorites this unit holds? If it is not very many then are there any tricks for holding more?

How do I load POI into the favorite file,in the nuvi260

Thanks

How do I put POI in the favorite file on the nuvi 260? When I do will they show up on the map?

Thanks,Joe

With the price of nuvi's going down so fast I have a question for the learned members of POI Factory.

If I buy a nuvi 250 for say around $100.00 new or used with 2008 maps will Garmin allow a free 2009 map update? If so,then, once downloaded can I put the map on my nuvi 750 instead of the nuvi 250? That way I get a map upgrade for the 750 and get a second nuvi for my wife at almost no cost.

At Amazon.com

Almost cheaper than adding European maps to your unit.

Hurry, BestBuy.com has the Nuvi 780 for $270.

Once I load a POI in my nuvi 260 can I remove it? If so how? Thanks

I have the nuvi 255w and would like to use a wall (ac) charger for my unit but cannot find the required voltage. I have a cell phone charger that puts out 5.0v and want to know if this would work. Have checked garmin website and owners manuals neither lists required voltage.

The POI icons on Garmin units I think is too small to see..why can't they make them like the other's?

Hi all,

I recently added several more nuvi article of interest to the
