Street Pilot 7500 works with 8GB SDHC card

I thought I would let everyone know my Street Pilot 7500 is using a Sandisk Ultra II SDHC 8GB card. I use is to hold my books-on-mp3 and music, and everything works well with the built in media player.

How do I know the 750 is actually accessing the SD card?

I orginally loaded all my POI's directly in the Nuvi 750. I just got a SD card and loaded them on the card.

Nuvi660 Questions

Hello....I am a newbie to GPS.

I own a NUVI660 and have two questions:

1. In "Extras" under CustomPOIs I want to remove all of the POI's I have loaded? How do I do that please?

Trick or Walkaround for Recalculating

I have a nuvi 750 using mapquest to plan routes. Using UNFlag to take out all the via points. Got tired of hearing all the announcements. When you stray from the route it recalculates a new route. I then have to reload my route and start again. Does anyone know of a better way.

Is this device and software capable of using POI files?

I have followed instructions but to no avail. I would sincerely appreciate a step-by-step list of instructions if POIs apply to this software (City Navigator North America NT 2009) and device. Thank you.

.WAV Conversion

Can someone explain how to convert .mp3 files to .wav? I understand this is what I need for a Nuvi 200.

Coordinates on a Favorite

Awhile back, I created and submitted a POI file for Air Museums in Texas. I drove by one of the sites at 70 mph on the freeway this afternoon and tapped the "car" and told it to save the coordinates and of course, named the site. My question is this, can I find the coordinates in that Favorite so that I can send in an update for the POI file?

Thanks,

Bill

Tracks in Mapsource

I have a Nuvi 255W. When I upload the data into Mapsource there is a tab called 'tracks' which contains all the data of where I have been what time speed etc...

How can i delete the tracks on my Nuvi so this info is not there anymore?

Thanks

NUVI 680 Memory

I've looked all over and can't seem to find the memory size of a Garmin 680. Anyone know where this might be found?

Thanks!

Slow down!

If this has been asked before, please accept my apologies, but I didn't see any other posts relating to it on my search.

On several of my major streets, my Nuvi posts the speed limit of the road I'm on. Great feature! Is it possible to have it sound an alert if I'm driving over the speed limit to encourage me to slow down?

Not recognising memory card

I have a Garmin Nuvi 750 and just bought a memory card for it. I formatted it in my card reader and put some music on it. The Garmin does not recognize it. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

Bluetooth Garmin Zumo 550

I tried to use the bluetooth on my unit with my sprint phone. connects up great but evertime i get in the car it automatically pairs up and i stop this i want to be able to manually do it

When have I gone to far???

I have been loading POI's on my 750. When do you need to worry about putting so many on it, that it affects the performance of the unit? So far I have 125,468.

Trouble seting up POI Loader

I recently lost everything on my hard drive. I don't remember having any trouble seting POI Loader up the last time...But. I am tring to "select where to save Points of Interest to: I chose MapSource (advanced).

Garmin is the greatest

I know it's been said many times in the past, but I am now a believer. My 14-month old nuvi 660 stopped acquiring satellites a week ago. I upgraded the firmware, tried all the easy stuff, finally called Garmin. They had me do a hard reset, no change. They gave me an RMA, I immediately sent the 660 to them. I got a "newly overhauled" unit back yesterday. Runs great!
