Garmin talk

Does anyone have any POI for S America like aztec ruins, machu picchu or the like?

I just got an email from Garmin informing me that the "JULY" update for the BlueChart Americas charts I own are available.

They are designating the update as Version 2008.5

In case anyone is interested.

I did at least order the update CD, but I am pretty sure they are going to want $75.00 PER REGION for the unlock codes. I have two regions and this adds up.

Hi

which Nuvi's has WAS.
Only one i know of is 660
does anyone know if 255, 650, 750, 850, 860
I know 760 does not, i have it.
I cant find WAS on garmin's compare page.

I'm downloading the icons (BITMAP form) but cant seem to get them to show up on my Nuvi 660. any ideas how?
Thanx

Does anyone know why the thunderstorm icom would keep appearing on my map screen when the weather report shows clear when I hit the weather?

Thanks

Is it possible to remove the unused counties from the language list?

I understand that if my Nuvi plays mp3 files (which my Nuvi 350 does), that I can have tour guides.

Say I create a tour guide with truck stops in it.
Then go on a trip that goes by many of these truck stops. I load the tour guide with the truck stops in it but do not point to any of the truck stops as my destination in my trip.

New firmware has been released.

Unit Software

* Nuvi 5000 Ver. 3.80 as of Jun 30, 2008

On My 750 I maped out a route to my sons home. I moved the route to one that is easier and downloaded in to my 750. The download did not show the changes I made before down loading. 2 questions. How do I get it to download the prefered route ( no way points) and 2, can I erase the ones that I downloaded trying to get the one I wanted. I don't want to waste the memory in the 750.

I've updated to the latest version of Bobcat and have updated my nuvi 750 to the latest software as well. Now I open Bobcat and try it import my latest trips and I get a error screen with my email address that wants me to send a detailed list of what's wrong. All i know is a I can't import my trips and when i try to quit out of Bobcat it freezes up. Any ideas?..................Drew

I can't seem to locate anyplace that describes what is an included funtion of the 760 and what is TMC. For example, when I am driving
are speed limits on the highway, 760 or TMC
is elevation, 760 or TMC
Basically, what I am trying to figure out before I have to make a decision is what comes with TMC as opposed to just the functions of the 760.

Hi,

I want to share this information that I obtained from Garmin International:

"The Tour Guide and Tour Guide alerts will work on the Nuvi 260W. You would use the POI Loader program to load the custom POIs to your unit and create you own Tour Guide Alerts or download ones that you have already created."

Hi Folks
I have the Zumo 550.
I have just done the new download and everything looks great,
except, I cant find the POI's on the touch screen.
What happenned ?
Thanks Much

In addition to Google Maps and Mapquest, Microsoft's maps.live.com is able to send locations from its mapping service onto "most Garmin navigators" via MSN Direct (wireless) or USB cable.

Is there a way to view POIs on a map in the C550? I have over 13000 POIs in the GPSr and want to look ahead on a trip I am about to take and see what POIs are along the way.

Thanks.

I bought a Nuvi 760 and since new (2 months old) it has never held a stopped position. It constantly drifts and spins. It shows the car icon pointing south, then west...then northeast then south. It shows speeds up to 3.5 mph and I'm not moving. I have used a 350 and a 650 and those never moved.

my girl hated n was jealous of my 760, now she wants one, but ndoesnt need the bells and whistles, any reviews or feedback on the 255W i see it for around 300, any better? she must have wide and tts, thats about it

Is this common for streetpilots to have firmware loaded from another device. I just updated my 580 and it said it has the 550 firmware on it. Everything seems to be working fine just thought it was a little weird.
