Garmin talk

I just read the May issue of Money Magazine and they recommended the Nuvi 780 as their choice for King of the Road. Granted, they only tested a total of 5 units, but the Nuvi was the clear winner. Of course, keep in mind that Money is a magazine geared toward financial advice, so they aren't really the experts, which makes the recommendation more from an average user. Hats off to Garmin!

I've looked here and there on this site and haven't seen what I'm looking for so I'll post here and, naturally, someone will probably immediately point me to a zillion posts on the exact subject. Anyway.....

I have a set of coordinates, but when I try to enter into my Garmin 760 in coordinates there are too many numbers whats up?

i cannot get downloaded new vehicles onto my nuvi 360.
i tried extracting them with winuzip and and then loaded them to my nuvi following all the instructions yet when i re power up they are not there
any ideas?

I'd like to share a trick my wife and I developed during our last trip to find cheap (yeah right!) gas.

Uregnt ! does anyone have The computer software that will let the computer recognize A garmin C330

It seems that all the speed camera alert are in one file. Is there a way to separate them so they will alert me when I go too fast instead of alerting me when I am X miles away from the speed camera.

For putting redlight camreas on my c330i just upload rhe zipped up file into the file going into the GPS IS this correct

After spending 30 minutes on the phone waiting for tech service to answer after explaining that I was having trouble with my disk loading to the nuvi 350 the tech said he would have to transfer me to a mac tech......Well I lost the connection and had to dial again and wait another 30 minutes.....the tech I talked to seemed knowledgable and took over the functions of my computer and attempted to ch

Hello, I have a NUVI 760 and was wondering what I have to do to get the garmin and the custom POI's to show up on the main nav map? When I go to the browse map screen the POI's show up. I have set my zoom to 200' and still nothing. Did I mis something in the set up? or does the 760 not have this feature? Thanks in advance.B

First Good Day to all - Hope someone can help me here - I recently purchased a GTM12 FM Traffic receiver for my NUVI 350 - when plugged in I do show a traffic icon on my main screen - traveling thru Houston I did receive an alert sounding that traffic was ahead with congestion and recommended a better route - last weekend I was traveling thru Memphis and never did get an alert sound or icon indica

I found this info on another site. It worked for me. No hacks or cracks. It comes directly from Garmin. If this against the TOS, please delete.

my Nuvi760 at times gets confused and does alot of recalculating ( no idea why )
i set it on the usual route to work and i get to an intersection and it says recalculating turn on circlewood , recalculating and then finds its correct way.

Just returned tonite from Eastern Washington and did some wine tasting. Just thought I would report we tried to find four wineries in Prosser using the new Garmin 2009 maps and the POI files from this website. The wineries showed up but when we got there we found they had moved in 2006. Went to the right address but no wineries by the name.

OK I tried to add more POI using the newest POI Loader and when I get to the part where I browse to the folder where the custom POI files are located and press next, the next screen says:
Please choose the settings for the file borders.csv
o Ignore
o This file contains proximity alerts

Sams club has the garmin 750 for 299.00

Ok Don't know what I am doing wrong. I create a route in mapsource and save it. I then open it hook up the Garmin and send the route. When it appears in My Date and I open it there are no points. When I open the file on the computer it shows the route fine. So what am I doing wrong?

I have had my Garmin since January and have not had a single problem with it. I recently upgraded the firmware and 2009 update and since has been working great. Used it yesterday, turned it off when I got home, got in the truck this morning and could not get unit to power on. I took it back to best buy because I had the extended warranty and they swapped it right there.
