Garmin talk

Well.. since I got my 660 back I've noticed that the BT phone is struggling a bit.

V4.60 BT V3.1
Phone: Blackberry 7520

It worked perfectly on the previous 660 that was running V4.50 and BT V2.4
(I had backdated to 2.4 for known blackberry connect issues. v3.1 was reported to have fixed this so I let it upgrade from v3.0 to v3.1)

how do delete all contens in unit?.Iam trying to set up poi for school zones and got about 6.poi's Do someone have a copy of the csv fie. here. thanks
Garmin say's i need a wav file to get a sound.I bought this gps in nov. 2007. again Thanks

Is it just me? I'm I nutz?

I tried to xfer some destinations from mapquest using the latest/greatest garmin communicator to BOTH the nuvi 350 and a 660

350 is running v3.50
660 is running v4.60
Both have SD cards

1) When I SEND TO GPS and tell it to load to the SD card, it creates directory/file called garmin\gpx\mapquest xxx.gpx where xxx is just a random number.

I've followed exactly the directions on http://home.comcast.net/~ghayman3/garmin.gps/pagepoi.02.htm#... to convert audio files to wav format and load them into my Nuvi 260, but I'm still not getting anything other than the default pings or bongs when the unit alerts.

I was wondering if someone might supply me with the Output Specs on the Garmin AC/USB charger. Since this is a normal electrical outlet with USB outlet, I wanted to use one of my other adapters to charge the 760. The current one that I have is Output Voltage: DC5V Output Current: DC 1A I am hoping that this will work instead of having one more thing to pack and spending the extra money.

There is one weakness that I find in my Nuvi 880.

Now before I put my question into print I want to clearly state that I am NOT a computer whiz but I do have some basic knowledge.

I’m curious if there is a small piece of software that could be loaded onto the Nuvi or the SD card that would allow them to run avi files.

I update my POIs about every 2 weeks. I have been using the manual mode to set the distance for POI alerts. This is areal pain. I have read the thread on how to set alerts but it doesn't make sense to me. Can I put one of the names mentioned in the file title along with a number so that I don't have to set alerts manually every time?

I still have mp3's on my 360 even after I've deleted them from the folder on my hard drive. I use a Mac. I have no record of them but they won't leave the Nuvi itself.

My 660 froze up and it wont shut down. I tried pushing the power button but nothing.

New nuvi cam with 2009 maps and version 3.0 software. With all the 4.x fiasco is it even worth it to upgrade to version 4.1? I ran the webupdater and it said version 4.1 was the only update. I assume the maps are up to date?

Does the 205w have a diagnostic "secret" Screen? I tried taping on the clock as mentioned on other posts and nothing comes up.

OK, I know there a bunch of smart folks on here. I'm not one of them. Can someone please tell me if it is possible to change specific colors on the Nuvi(760)? My goal is to enhance the 'alert' section. When I get an alert for a red light camera, the alert box is light grey and not attention getting. Unless I am looking at the unit or tuned to the FM broadcast, I miss the alert.

I am hoping that this is an easy question to answer... but HOW do I change the home location on my Nuvi 260. The Garmin webpage is useless for this!

On a nuvi 350,when an alert is active, I could not get the GPS to return to the route. I got the message do I wnat to insert as a viapoint.
My question is how do I clean off the rest area alert and return to the route I am following.

Has anyone at all ever been able to restore, rectify or recover their BLUETOOTH functionality after rolling back to the earlier versions? The 4.1 upgrade did nothing for it. It also was just as poor a performer on the Nuvi 760 as was the 4.0 2.9 works great, no lags or other issues, but the BLUETOOTH is still dead. Garmin has been little or no help other than I can get a refurbished unit.

I read that the Garmin 760 does change your ETA for a given route based on your driving speeds. Anyone have any experiences with it. Is it based on road type/speed?

This topic could be under any of the discussions, but you guys are more familiar to me.

So.....I've looked and looked but do not find the humongous sizes for the MICRO SDHC cards. Everyone speaks of buying only regular SDHC cards for other Nuvis with 16g or more capacity. Cannot locate any
micro SDHC cards with that capacity range.

A year ago I had researched the best pricing online for the 680 and found that PC Nation had an amazingly low price for that time. I ended up buying at Costco because they had an even better deal and I liked that they had a liberal return policy.

I haven't seen any one comment on this yet, but I just received my nuvi 200 back (sent in to get fixed. The one I sent was 4.00 and it looks like there was a 4.10, then 4.40, now 5.00.

They sure do make updates often!
