Garmin talk

Having traveled to Colorado for a few weeks from CA, I notice that the locking up time on my NUVI is much longer. Any reason why and the first time?

Is map source free? Where can I get it?

Has anyone used a Zagg body shield for their Nuvi 780? Their website has one for the 760, but not the 780.... I was under the assumption they were the same unit, the only difference being the traffic receiver.

On my Nuvi 760 it dispalys the speed limit on the map page.
Since I've updated to 2009 maps there are many inaccuracies in the speed limits.
2009 maps show many more secondary road speed limits. 2008 maps only displayed highways.
On a recent trip to Asheville NC is where I found many errors.

These were speed limits that have been the same for many years.

I have searched the discussion threads and FAQ to no avail. Either I don't know how to find an answer or it isn't there. My question is simple. The 550 does not load a new splash screen using ximage it appears. Do I copy a jpeg file to the Garmin root directory and it will be copied to my c550 somehow?

Hello All...

New user of Garmin 780. I have POI's loaded for Home and Rest Areas. When I am not navigating a route, the POI is announced visually and with sound... However when I am actually navigating to a specific location, the POI is announced after the navigation is complete...

Is there a setting I am missing?

Hi,

After I download this POI *.csv file, how do I upload it to my Nuvi 350 device? to which Nuvi directory?

Thanks!

Hi guys!

I bought my Garmin one month ago and I'm happy with it. I got good informations here that's why I already have the Phils map on my GPS. Thank you very much:-)

Today I downloaded with UseNeXT the City Navigator Thailand, that's where I often stay.
I worked everything fine and now I should all the files have on my HD.
BUT: what do I have to do now? There is the following text:

If you are the lucky few that will be going to the Olympics. Don't forget this: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=30217

Is there any of the Garmain GPS models that have the SPEED field instead of the ARRIVAL field while in Auto Routing? Also showing somewhere the Log. & Lat. of where you are or install them instead of a address.

Update,

Hi
I would normally apologize for not RTFM, but the 2x5 series has no FM. So I ask.

I have a 760 now and the partner's old 330C finally bit the big one. So it is purchase time. The 670/680/760 are all priced within $20 of each other (unless there is a huge sale somewhere) and one of the features she needs is Street Names spoken and Bluetooth.

Hi,
I've updated my wife's c340 with everymap on the disc and its on a sd card, the unit see's both maps, should both be checked or use the new version? just wondering about any conflicts.

Don't know if anyone is interested but Meijer's has an online sale going for the Garmin c550 for 169.49 with an aditional 10% off. I am not sure if it is still on but when I picked mine up they had free shipping.

Don't we usually get an e-mail warning when our traffic subscription runs out?

I was driving out of town on a camping trip Thursday and the 101 freeway stopped cold with no warning. I looked at my trusty GPS and found out that my traffic subscription expired without warning.

When I got back into town today, I renewed, but I thought it would warn me before shutting off.

Some of them are pretty funny but I wondered if they had 'all' of what the Nuvi needed to give you directions? Has anyone on here bought a new voice?

Instead of booting up my computer or using the Yellow Pages to find the nearest XYZ store -- I go get my Garmin out of the car & look it up. Recently it found me the closest tire store, Baskins Robbins, and Tractor Supply store.

Connecting my 880 to my laptop, RT clicking Properties
shows 1.92 GB USED and 1.56 GB FREE, a capacity of 3.48 GB. I assume this is MEMORY, since I have no SD card in the slot.

I passed thru Greensboro on I-40 last week and according to my Nuvi 660, I was driving thru peoples yards at
65+ mph. Anybody know how new that stretch of highway is? I suspect it's not in the latest map.

I have several addresses I would like to load into my Garmin 370 as POIs. How do I do that? Can I input the addresses into Google Earth and then copy the coordinates into the Garmin somehow.
