Garmin talk

Well the wife and I decide to try out the SaversGuide offered by Garmin in our Nuvi 350. I had a 10% off discount code and I thought it might be useful. It arrived today and got it installed...but it expires in 10 months, not the 12 months as offered. I fired off an email for an explanation, and I'm waiting to hear back. If this SaversGuide works out for us I might consider renewing it next year.

Witch model of nuvi is better, I need the Blue tooth?

Hello,
I recently purchased my first GPS. A nuvi 880. Pretty sweet I must say, but I had a question for other nuvi owners. When you edit a phone number, do hyphens get automatically inserted? Mine doesn't and I think it looks a little ugly. Here's a screenshot.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

I have a Nuvi 750. Recently I found out if I stopped somewhere before destination and turned off the car, the route disappeared after I turned on the GPS again. Anyone else have the problem or know how to fix it? I called Garmin and they could not help me.

When backing up the 660 , do i backup just the folder that says Garmin ?

Sorry, but the information is there somewhere, except I could not find it using search.
I am throwing away my 660, and before I do, I would like to save my custom poi and favorites.
There was a topic on how to save them and later put them back in the folder.
Anyone post a link to that process?

TIA

hello i put in alot of poi files and set the alert tomes then i downloaded the voices i followed the directions to name the sound file the same as the poi file but i still get the attention tone what did i do wrong

I was holding my nuvi 360 in my hand and my finger was resting on the clock. All of a sudden a new diagnostic type screen opened up. There is a next and back button on the bottom as well as lots of different buttons on each screen as you page through the next buttons. I did not touch anything, but for the techies out there it looked pretty impressive.
Anyone know what all those screens do?

Has anyone deleted any factory installed voices taking up space from their 700 series? How is this done, what affect did it have?

Has anyone seen any reviews on the new 765T yet? Is is worth the wait or should I just get a 700 series for my son?

I am trying to download a gpx file from EveryTrail to my Nuvi 260. I have installed the Garmin Communicator. When I download the file to either the SD card or the Garmin GPX file, it disappears after I disconnect from the unit. Where am I going wrong?

I have a C530 w/ the 2008 map update. I have had the same problem/error with this unit on several occasions.

I was thinking about buying software for a mobile device - either Pocket PC or SmartPhone, and came across the Garmin Mobile XT.

I like the TomTom software, because custom voices can be used, as well as the other standard features.

I haven't seen enough information yet on the Garmin software to see if it can have voices and such...

Anyone have any thoughts? Good, bad, ugly?

I have an older GPS (StreetPilot 2720) ... will I be able to down/load poi's from this site?

I don't have a traffic subscription option but when I get stuck in traffic I want to 'find a way round'. Is 'Detour' the right way or is there a way to get into the traffic avoidance menus that the manual describes without having a traffic subscription.

Does anyone have any tips on traffic avoidance?

I'm using a Nuvi 760.

The Garmin Garage has 4 new vehicles designed for it's 800 series.

Hi -

While camping recently, we had to rush our German Shepherd to a Vet and then to a 24-hour Vent Emergency Center to deal with a Water Moccasin bite. Fortunately, he made it but it was quite an upsetting time for awhile there.
