Garmin talk

Hello all,

When I'm connecting my Garmin Nuvi 650 to USB cable on my laptop, it always shows charging and I can't seem to use the unit at all. Is this normal?

I have had my 760 for a month or so now,Used it this weekend and put in a destination partway there it (unknown to me).Defaulted back to ready to navigate screen? I never shut unit off,I only zoomed in and out a few times.Anyone have this happen to them? Unit worked normally on drive home.
Thanks

Are the Canadian rest areas in with the combined rest area sites?
If not why?

When making Poi's should you use Note Pad or Excel?
Because I'm getting nothing but trouble.

Hi, Well I have always loaded most of the POI's onto my SD card since I first got the c530 for Christmas. To say the least I have accumulated many different POI's. Anyway just recently after doing the usual POI Loader installation, the c530 after I start it up seems OK then shuts itself off. If I remove the SD card the unit is just fine.

Hi,
I just ordered the Garmin Nuvi 760,and would like to know which poi files work with this unit.(gpx or csv)
I couldn't find this info on Garmins site.
Thanks in advance...........

Im starting to have trouble with my Cigarette Plug Adpt for the 660. When I plug it in it works just fine, but as I drive the plug will loose power. I checked the Lighter it works ok with other items. How long is the warranty. Anybody else have this problem..

Can someone tell me how to reset home? Thanks, Lee

Sorry I have not been around for awhile...hectic summer (but have been using my Garmin 660 throughout!).

Has anyone experienced any unusual problems after the two most recent software updates? I am now at version 4.5. I have found the following:

1. Seems to take longer to find satellites after turning the unit on.

Is there anyway to turn off the feature that shows airport names on the 2720???? I've played with all the settings I can find and haven't run across it yet??

Really don't need to see all the airports with names.

Does anyone have an Authoritative FAQ on how to do most common user add ons with this series?

Looking for POI editing and additions, Memory card expansion and application updates, upgrades.

Thanks,

Trying to get some information from the site on who has contacted Garmin on unit freezing or blacking out.

If you would answer this post just putting your:

Unit I.D. ( ie 350, 750, 760, ect).
Date called Garmin or E-Mailed.
Whom you spoke to.
Answer given to you.

Please only put the information request.

Thank You

I having problems with the touch screen of my c330. If I touch on screen it select wrong selection. I have calibrated it many times but it loses it again. It works well right after calibration but when I try next day, same problem.

I will appreciate your help if you have experienced same problem.

Is there a way on the 660 that I can add poi's without deleting the poi's I have in there already ?

Maybe just me, but is there a way to manually set a timezone other than the few pre-defined cities that come with the unit?

I've used other nav units and have found by starting an address search zip codes narrowed my search quite a bit, can Garmin's do this or does anyone know why they don't include them beside "State"?

I just called Garmin about my 760 locking up and he (Joel) told me he had never heard of the problem before.

Sounds like Garmin is in denial about the issue.

I would like to see how many of you have this problem and reported it to garmin.

I've got a nuvi 205w. I just got it and started playing around
with it. I discovered that it plots your course in the
Garmn/GPX/Current.GPX file. I'm not sure how large that file
will get... I just reset it the other day and now I have
176 trkpt entries. This is from my office to my home (30-ish
miles. )

I wrote a small script to take the trkpt entries from the

Is there a file so i can know where the expressway exits are at? Like the nearest expressway entrance wherever i am?? Thanks...

P.s. I am in the Chicagoland area

HI! Everyone, First off I'd just like to say that the help here is fantastic.. I have been playing around with the voices on my Nuvi and kinda fell in love with karen.. tho karen doesn't seem to have as big of lungs as Jill does... Jill is always nice and loud. Where's karen sometimes seems to be whispering.. is there anyway to increase the volume output of the voice files?

Thanks
