Garmin talk

anyone have the same occasional stuttering ?
what can i do about it ?

I have Garmin GPS on my kenwood tv deck. I can't put in coordinates. Doesnt seem to be a place to do that. Does anyone know of updates to be able to do that?

I just got my garmin nuvi 200w and was going to update the map to the 2009 but the map updater kept telling me that i didnt have enough room to do it. so in my infinate wisdom i went in and deleted the jpegs that were in it from the factory which isnt bad but then i deleted all the voice files and now i dont have any voices.

Just loaded the POI loader and am trying to figure out where to go from here.
L.A. Times had a POI file for red light cameras, but the garmin loader didn't recognize its format.

What is the usual format for these files?
The one that got downloaded from the L.A. Times site had the peculiar title:
LA County Redlight Cameras.csv.txt

Heads Up:

City of Austin Texas will launch Red Light Camera operations on Memorial Day Weekend. See attached link.

I'm having a problem trying to buy maps online from Garmin because I live in Canada. They only ship to the States. How do you get them as I am planning a trip to Europe?

Does anyone know what the cheapest Garmin is that you can still upload POI's to? I was thinking NUVI but I'm not sure.

I looking for something that is cheap and is easy to add/remove poi's and includes ability to add poi's info under search options.

Thanks

Hi, I have a Nokia phone with GarminXT installed and Fodor POIs installed. The .gpi file of Fodor is already showing up in the XT and I can access it no problem. However, none of the restaurants are showing up on the map as icons. Can I get them to pop up as icons?

I am new here and added a few POI to my Garmin c580 , I go to extra's to access the POI I added and screen comes up blank . Help

I just read where Garmin will be coming out with a cell phone. Seeing their interface on the Nuvi I thought this might be a natural progression. I think they could have a winner if they are careful about it and listen to all the feedback from there experience with their GPS devices.

Perhaps this is old news. I saw Firmware v.4.40 for Nuvi 660 on Garmin website. Based on past experience with Garmin's problem prone version updates, I have a couple questions:

1. What are new in ver 4.40?
2. Have you encountered any issues? If there were issues, what were they? Any work-arounds?

I updated the BT firmware to v3.10

Release notes says it fixes the random auto disconnect experience... I did get this experience all the time, but they did not correct the garbage characters I get in caller ID.

Does anyone else get garbage caller ID?

I have an extra Garmin DVD 2009 update map if anyone is interested. Never been put in the computer or taken out of its case. Contact me farrissr@comcast.net.

I recently downloaded a custom poi and put on my GPS Garmin StreetPilot C550. I did the manual input and had download the sound for golf courses. When I used my GPS to go to the golf course all I get is a double bell and not a voice stating " approaching a golf course ". Is there anything I forgot to do? The sound for the golf course is in the same file as the golf course.

I have a nuvi 260,I downloaded the city Nav 2009 software on it, and now all I have id PA, NY, and Maryland. When you click on the wrench, go to maps, and hit map info it tells you that the software version is 2009, but instaed of saying all at the bottom mine just says PA.

How do I change the # I listed for my Garmen in my profile.?

Just came back from Florida with my new nuvi 750 travel ling up I95 to Baltimore. As I was approaching Richmond VA. my 750 told me to take I295, which I, of course, did. It took me around Richmond and back onto I95 just north of the city.

Nuvi 350 has the capability of adopting supplementary maps on SD card, according to the menu. Since I bought the unit recently, I've been trying to find ways to make Adirondacks trails maps, but no avail so far. If you have tried and succeeded, would you mind sharing? thanks in advance.

I sent Mapquest directions to my Nuvi760 and now I can't find it anywhere. I checked Favorites, Routes, recently found.ect. To varify that is was sent I sent it again in Waypoint format and in Route format. I even saved it to 2 locations, my Nuvi and my Nuvi card. I still can't find it. I do see the gpx file on my card so I assume it is also in my Nuvi.

With all the stories of GPS theft, I'd like to move my unit off the windshield.
Does anyone have a method to gently remove the residual ring from the windshield. I'd like to remove it, but I don't want to cause any damage to the windshield in the process.
