Garmin talk

Hello all. I have a household with a Nuvi 750 and three 255w's. I have saved the favorites (the GPX file)from my 750 to a folder on my desktop so I can transfer all the same ones to my 255w's. The problem is after the transfer to the 255w's not all the favorites show up.

Hi,

I would like to know how I determine the software version of my Garmin 260W. When I acquired it, the software version was 3.40, audio version was 1.90, and GPS SW Version was 3.005. I do not recall how I determined these numbers. So, I hope someone will tell me how to do it again. Thanks.

Anybody know how big a mp3 file can be for the 660?

I am a new gps user and am trying to download poi data bases. My gps is a garmin 680.

I have download the POI loader onto my regular computer. I have downloaded a couple of poi data bases onto my computer.
I plug in my nuvi and run the poi loader.
When I get to the screen that asks for the location of the data bases, the files are not recognized.
What am I missing?

GPS Lodge (http://www.gpslodge.com/archives/020731.php) has links to a pink-trimmed Nuvi 200, and red and blue trimmed 205W's for sale. If you're looking to escape the plain black trim you might want to check these out.

I have the 660. Is there a way to reset the unit to factory specs, I think I might have deleted something but not sure?

Wich model as the TTS?
I have a 250W.

Driving down the freeway with my Nuvi 360 I have a hard time with the bluetooth being not loud enough. I noticed that if I put in a headphone jack the instructions and tones come through the headphones. So my thought is trying an external speaker. has anyone else tried that.

I uploaded mutiple POI files, each of them sits in a separate sub folder. I've read that the sub folder name becomes the category name when it gets uploaded. But when I did it today, some category names were correctly following the sub folder name, but some category names were the name of POI files but NOT sub folder name.
Why is this happening? Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong?

If you've ever wanted to modify your TTS voice file, here's an easy program http://turboccc.wikispaces.com/TTSVoiceEditor

I tested it on my 750 and it works perfectly. I finally got rid of the annoying "recalculating"!!

I just got a Nag Screen to update the map on my Nuvi 350 since it was over a year old. Am I going to see this junk screen every time I start the unit ? If so is there a way to get around the screen by deleting a file ?

hello i have a question i installed alot of poi and sound on my garmin 760 now i see tourguide in my 760 i have no idea how it got there what is it?

I've got a problem that hasn't adequately been addressed by Garmin tech support via email. I have a nuvi 760 and purchased and installed the 2009 map update. Maps were fine on both the nuvi and Mapsource, could transfer waypoints, routes, etc. Everything was fine for months.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site and also GPS systems. I was wondering if there is a way to switch the height at which a POI becomes visible on my screen. I have the nuvi 200w. I have downloaded a bunch of POI such as lighthouses, waterfalls, cliffs and such (I'm a photographer)and 300 or so ft. is too close for just driving around looking for places to shoot. I'd prefer at least 800 ft.

Ok So I get annoyed by the garmin telling me directions, but I would like sound notifications for stuff like red cameras. is there a way I can just turn off the voice for turn by turn directions?

Hi folks,
I recently updated my Zumo to the newest 2009 map updates and now when I am being directed, the Zumo does not speak the roads anymore. Is this coincidence and I messed up a setting or is this something from the update?
Thanks,

Anybody know what is the Max amount of POI 's a 660 can hold without a SD Card ?

I went to Gary Haymans web site Garman Tips & Tricks.
In there he talks about code words and he would tell you what they are but he never does, Anybody know what the code words are for a POI ?

I just downloaded several alert sounds from the library, to use with corresponding custom POIs that didn't come with sound files. Since the mp3 sound files I downloaded usually had a slightly different file name than the csv or gpx file, I changed the name (but not the extension) to correspond exactly. I then made sure that both files were in the same folder on my computer.
