Garmin talk

Anyone bought a Garmin 350/360 recently from Amazon? Does it came preload with the NT 2008 or 2009 map?

I just had to laugh at this weeks Circuit City ad.

They have a TomTom unit with the Garmin interface.

It's about time TomTom recognized the superior interface that Garmin uses.
Just kidding of course, no flames wars please.

Looking for a bicycle mount for my nuvi 350. Anyone have any ideas?

I was wondering if you think Garmin would update the UI which they are using for the nuvi 2*5 models to the older nuvi models. Eg. the graphical turn arrow and speed indicator. It seems that all those changes can be done with a firmware update. Think it is possible Garmin would update the older ones? Thank you.

My Friend Rigo Ramos is going to mexico next week is there anything he needs to do to use his garmin 550c out of the U.S. Any suggestions would be appreciated

This might be a crazy question but exactly what is MapSource and what does it do? When I bought my GPS the 2008 US Map was already on my Nuvi 780. I did not have to download anything. I know recently found out I can get the 2009 US Map for free so I'm working with Garmin customer support to get my free download since I bought my gps recently.

I recently downloaded mapsource from Garmin. I modified a route the program initially mapped and then sent the map to my Novi 260. I didn't find the map in the unit. Presently I do not have a memory card in the unit, not sure if that would be a download requirement. (Any hint on what to look for or is this a feature of higher Garmin models?)

So I've downloaded tons of things from this website and I'm pretty sure that it probably came from here, but I'm not positive. Sometimes randomly my Garmin Nuvi 660 starts beeping every couple seconds and displace a speed alert of 3mph. I haven't set any speed alerts on it and I'm not sure where it came from. One example of where it happens is Route 37 in Toms River, NJ. Any ideas? Thanks

I know after the three months trial is over, you have to pay like a monthly or yearly subscription fee but can you just get a one time deal subscription? Also do you guy use the features and find it helpful?

Hi, still getting to know my Nuvi 760.

On my new Zumo 550, when I create 300 mile, 30 waypoint routes in MapSource, after they are imported, there are 3-5 Waypoints per route missing when reviewed in edit>add/review points. They are converted into shaping points, without a flag in the map. If I recalculate, for example to add/remove a waypoint, these shaping points are lost. My SP2720 loads these routes flawlessly.

Does anyone know if there is a POI file for speed cameras around the US. I know there is a big Red Light Camera POI that is being updated regularly but is there a Speed Camera POI file?

I am wondering if my garmin will be of any use on the water? Anyone tried it? Bill

I am trying to find out if I have installed poi files correctly on the nuvi 200.

Hi, I am new to the forum and I would appreciat your help. I try to install the Costco POI to Mapsource and to my Nuvi 680, but they do not show on Mapsource and on the Nuvi it does not show on the map but only on Custom POI. What do I have to do in order to have it no the map? Thank you very much.

I have a Nuvi 780 and I noticed there is an option on under settings to change the Maps detail from Normal or More Detail. What is the big difference if I were to put it on Most, More, Normal, Less, or Least Map Detail. What do others use and what do you think is better?

Nuvi 780

Just got my Nuvi 750. Another question I have is this.
I downloaded the Walmart POI file. If I load that POI file into my Nuvi, using POI Loader, will each walmart store show up in my "favorites"?

IF after loading all those up...change my mind and lets say I only want the Texas Walmarts....what then? Is there an option or way on the unit to delete in mutiples rather than one at a time?

Just got my new (awsome) Nuvi 750...so far so good. I also have an older eMap that I used previously. The one thing that I don't see on the Nuvi in comparison to eMap...are POI's on the screen.

I would like to make a POI file for military bases in Calf and then one for the USA. But I have no clue on how to do this. If someone could, I would be happy to send you the info so that you could make a POI file on this. I would thank you

Just updated to Map Navigator NT 2009 and after I've a done a hard reset, when I turn it on, a pop said cannot unlock map and I cannot see the map, although, when I plug it into my pc, the map is still there. What is going on?
