Garmin talk

Is there only one voice able to be used on the 760? I'm not seeing where different voices can be selected. Am I missing it, or is there only one voice available?

Did I read a note from Miss POI last night about the way this site should be, informative, and kind to each other's questions. I tried to find it today and could not find it. If I did read it, I thank her. If you are asking a question about the 2009 update, you don't want to feel that you are dumb. As of right now, their are about 465 Q&A about the update.

Hello

I installed my new maps 2009 maps a few weeks ago. My 750 freezes a few times a week now.

what I have done so far is a master rest. I removed all the custom POI's I have loaded.

I will run it for a while and monitor it. It seems to freeze just after an alert I think. If it does not freeze again, I know it's the custom POI.

Does the c340 have mp3 capability, or am I wasting my time downloading sound files along with the csv and bmp files.
It wasn't clear from the tutorial, but do I need to edit either the csv or the bmp so they have exactly the same name (other than extension of course)? For example I D/L'd Cracker-Barrel.csv and Cracker Barrel_0.bmp from this site. Do they need to match?

A couple of weeks ago My Nuvi updated to something like version 3.10 I had neglected to update sooner, oops!

well I wanted to see if I noticed any differences before I asked you all if you know of any differences. well,

I don't really see any differences.
DO you all know what the update included, or did?

Thanks.

Thanks in advance to those who can help - I am both new to this site and new to use of downloaded POI's - I recently downloaded both Flying J truck stops and Rest Areas combined into my NUVI 350 - while traveling I did not recieve an alert tone that i was approaching these poi's - should i have also downloaded and installed the alerts from the sites / and if so how do i set proximity range / the a

Hello, this may not be the right site to ask this question but here goes.

Purchased & later returned the Garmin external mic ($15.00) bought at BestBuy. It was my hope it would improve BlueTooth usage,(echo on my end) yet results were just about equal with or without. Perhaps if a user was in a VERY noisy environment it "might" be useful, BUT then you wouldn't hear "them" thru your speakers LOL

I've got a POI CSV file successfully loaded onto the GPS, but how do I add a custom icon to display with the POI data?

What do you have your Backlight timer set on?
I have my Nuvi 350 set to Always On.

I have a simple question about the 2009 map update but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. It seems to me that the update does not remove the older map but rather adds a newer map also. But on my nuvi 680 I can't load the entire 2009 map because I don't have enough room. Is this correct? Why isn't the older map simply replaced by the newer map to conserve space?

Greetings all,

I recently purchased a Nuvi 360, which I am finding myself a little disappointed with. The performance is great thus far, it's taken me where I want to go and got me there without fail.

The gripes I have with it as as fellows:

After installing my new map by download to my computer, is there any reason to keep it on my hard drive? I do not use mapsource.

i was browsing through the POI and i clicked on the sports link and it had one on espn's mike & mike.. i was just wondering-- what is that? radio show for garmin???

I currently have a file in a GPX format to be uploaded to the site.This is my first attempt to do this but this is what i have so far.I put together a folder that has a GPX file of the waypoints that i have put together,a bmp icon and for those GPSr's with mp3, i have a mp3 alert file.Do i upload everything,or only the GPX file? Thanks for your help in advance.

In the NAV mode is there anyway to change the display from estimated time of arrival to speed? I know I can touch the EST and get the trip screen that shows speed but than I can't see the route. I really like to use the GPS as a speedometer. My 2610, 60CSx, and Etrex legend all let me do this while navigating. I have a Samurai with really big tires.

I just recently bought a new garmin 200 and have noticed that there are some stores around my home that have just recently been built do not show up in my POI's. Does Garmin offer any POI updates occasionally? I just uploaded the new 2009 map and thought that it might be included in that but it's not. Does anyone know?

I have just finished doing the 2009 map update and noticed that the units memory seems to be getting quite full. When connected to my computer the folder for the Garmin drive shows a size of 1.21, then "Used 1.14" and
"Available 70.1 MB"

I have Nuvi 760.
My trial FM traffic expired.
Can I use this reciever for MSN, or does it require a different Reciever. Thanks
