Garmin talk

On my Garmin 650 I have "Favorites" and "Extras". The "Favorites" show on the map and "Extras" do not. When I download POI's they are downloaded into the "Extras" and I have to get out of the map and search "Extras" to see what is close.

Having icons and sounds available on POI Factory indicates to me that I am missing something. How can I have POI's show on map?

First announced in January at CES 2008, the nüvi 880 and 850 navigators are arriving in stores just in time for summer travel.

I have the new Nuvi 750...the other day, on my driveway here in Dallas, I was looking for R.E.I., which I actually know is about 16 to 20 miles away. However, when I went to do a search, it found multiple references, all of which contained REI in the name. All of the references or points it found, where all under 2 miles from my current location.

Am traveling to the East coast of the States this month from Ireland, will be using a Nuvi 370 that came with a GTM 12. I purchased the Nuvi traveling home last Autumn and have never connected the GTM 12 to the Nuvi as there is no FM traffic service in Ireland, I have one question:

Will the GPS 18 antenna that I received with the nRoute program work with MapSource? I have recently purchased a Nuvi 680. Obviously the Nuvi has its own antenna but I am wondering if the stand alone antenna that I recieved with the nRoute program for the computer will work with the MapSource program or must the Nuvi be plugged into the computer?

Sorry guys, 1st time user.

I seem to be having trouble usIng my 350... It wont work when I put it on charge. I lost the Garmin USB and now using one that came with my Blackberry. Not ideal when on the road for more than 3 hours... Anyone got any suggestions?

Over the past day or so I've been loading a few new favorites to my nuvi 750 from my TOPO map. Anyway I uploaded a few that I don't want anymore. So I manually delete them, but when I power off and back on they are there AGAIN! Any ideas?.....Drew

Newly acquired nuvi 200. Discovered that I can tap the vehicle, and add a waypoint (favorite) and that the coordinates of that favorite come up on the display when setting it up initially. I can't figure out how to go back and find out what those coordinates are once I set and name the waypoint. Can someone tell me how to reveal that info? Thanks list

Am I only able to save one topic in the custom section?

I just purchased a Nuvi 660 and loaded some of the POI's to it from here. Do the icon automatically load as well? For example, if I loaded the Target stores file to the Nuvi. Will I see the Target logo. Please help. Newbie.

Rumor is the next generation iPhone will have GPS. That and google maps on wireless 3G internet will hurt Garmin sales. Too bad as I love the company and their products, but with GPS in a second generation iPhone I am not sure my Nuvi will travel with me anymore...

I've loved using the dashboard disk that came with my nuvi 750, however the surface that I mounted it to is slightly curved, so it doesn't stick very well, and with the heat it slowly came unstuck, until now when it won't stick at all.

My wife and I have identical GPS systems - both C330's.

Can I put the update on both or do I have to buy two updates?

Thanks.

Hi
Garmin has the new 255 on its web site (for a while) and also the 205, but has links for a 2x5 series. In England and Australia I can find some stuff on the 265 and 275. Though not a full comparison (eg the England site says the 275 has Europe City Navigator, but does not say anything about US, as in the 270). It also appears that the 2x5 series speaks street names.

I've searched forums...could not find anything on this, but is there a way or option to sort your favorites.
I am not concerned with the POI's I have, but merely favorites.

Near as I can tell, it is currently sorting my favorites by those closest to me at my current location. I think I would prefer them personally, as alphabetical.

Suggestions, tips, etc. Thanks gang!

Question: What is the slot on the side of the nuvi used for?

Answer:

Has anyone tried this new version of the unit software that became available 5/27/08?

Got the new Nuvi750 unit.
Downloaded the Walmart/Superwalmat locations successfully.

USed POI Loader, used Manual mode. However, one question I have is: When asked for the distance and speed settings, what are some recommended settings for these?

Does it or should it vary by the type of POI?
What should I use for, say...a walmart notification alert....1500 ft, 1000 ft?

I bought the updated 2009 map and all is well. Things look a little different but I can't quite remember how they compare with the 2008 City Navigator.

My questions:

Besides new roads and POIs, what is new about the maps?

Are the maps using different renderings, colors, or text?

Do maps draw faster, or have other improvements?
