Garmin talk

Speaking of Garmin's 2009 map updates, I cant seem to figure out how to determine what's built in to my Garmin nuvi 760 unit. bougt it in late june 2008. I know the 2009 updates were available at the time, cause they kept showing up when I did websearches for reviews of the Nuvi line.

Why is the download purchase for the 2009 map update not available for Canada?

Has the 270 replaced the 350? I saw one on Costco's website and it looks an awful lot like the 350.

I just downloaded a POI for ExxonMobil Interstate locations to my computer. When I open my POI Loader and browse for the file, it does not show up in the folder that it is in for me to download to my GPS. Am I doing something wrong? I have a 260w and am trying to get some Mobil locations which are on highways and do not show under POI's from Garmin. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Iam a new user of GPS Garmin 360. Is it possible to program an alert when i drive above speed limit?

Online I ordered the CNNTNA DVD, and I assumed it would be the uptodate current version like was preinstalled on my new Nuvi 880. What I received was one with a SKU
indicating it was the 2008 version. There was no second DVD included in the package, so they did not send the 2009 update.

just got a 760 and down loaded the update 2009 map. i have the file rmu_cnnant2009.exe saved to my harddrive. also have the unlock code. is this all i need to reinstasll it in cpu should i have need to.

I have a 260W unit and I have downloaded and installed the Rest Area POI with associated Icons and Alerts. The Alerts and Icon have the same name as the Rest Area POI and I used the POI Loader to install on my unit. Today was the 1st time that I have used my new Garmin as I was traveling up I-75 in Ohio.

While strolling across a Sheraton hotel's car park, I discovered that I was holding my Nüvi 310 upside-down, in its leather-look Garmin case. Gravity being what it is, the Nüvi slipped out of the case and connected perfectly with my left foot ...

Have some Newbe questions please...

How much memory is on my 750?
If I add a memory card will it act as additional memory or do I have to put stuff on the card separately from the internal memory?

I have a Nuvi 660 that i use on my motorcycle. I have a cigarette lighter hook up that runs to a 12V constant hot. I use the port on the GPS that i hook to the computer to program the GPS as the way to power the unit while riding. I have noticed that it will only charge up to 2 bars even after hours of riding. Do i need to use the factory cradle and cord to make the unit charge ?

I just received a list of RedLight Cameras in my area and would like to know how do i installed them to alarm me when i get close to them, I have a 660.

Hi Factory,

I desperately need the assistance of an electrician.

I do not want to burn up some electronics but if my acessory chargers all say input of 100V-240V, can they be used on 220 Euro outlets with just an adapter plug or do I need to drop down the current from 220 to 110V? I would prefer not to fry my computer, garmin, phone, camera etc....

Thanks,
Paul

Is there a way in the 660 to set a speed alarm off if I would go over a set speed? I'm not talking about any speed traps.

First Hello to all Nuvi Buds and thanks in advance for your help and wisdom - Been unable to visit site for about a month as have been touring the country in a motorcoach with groups - here is my ?

I am a senior with a NUVI 850 and still learning about POI etc so may not understand how things work. I just returned from a short trip. I had uploaded several different POI folders using the latest Garmin POI loader. They all appeared in the Custom POI section for the NUVI. The rest areas along the interstate all showed an alert and sound. None of the others worked however.

I use my C550 both in my car and on my motorcycle. When it's on my motorcycle, I tried not to have to plug in the cigarette lighter adapter if I could (too many wires.) Today is the first time I took it out on a motorcycle trip. I fully charged it the night before and it lasted only about 2h 30 min before it shut down itself.

it would be nice to know nearest subway stops for all cities world wide organized by country.

I was browsing ebay, when I came across an ad. for a firm in the UK, that has a fixed fee Nüvi repair service.

Of all the things they say that can fix, one thing caught my eye: they claim to be able to recover from lost "Pin Codes"!!

They state that the bluetooth will not function afterwards, so that would be something to watch out for, if buying a 2nd hand unit...
