Garmin talk

I just went there to check and see if I have a mapping update since it's May 1st.

Well, the website is down for maintenance! Hope they fix their issues on the website and put something up there for the new maps.

Down for maintenance.This server has been taken down momentarily for maintenance.

We apologize for this unexpected behavior, and we are working to restore service.

I did a search but can't seem to find the thread, but didn't many of the POI folks agree that new mapping would not or could not be downloaded off the Garmin site via the internet?

Just wondering if anyone else has to do this.

1. Search by address
2. Type in City
3. When the list of results of cities come up, I always have to double-tap (double-click) the city to select it and advance to the next screen?

Anyone have to do this too? Bueller? Bueller?

Has anyone had problems with the Nuvi 350 freezing up? I have had a couple of times where the unit froze

What is the purpose of the temperature field in the waypoint properties section?

Hello I know this has been discussed previously and I looked quickly at the faq and didn't see anything so hopefully someone can help me out.

How do I downloan a google map into my garmin 650?

Much appreciated!

Has anyone tried using an 8gb sdhc card in a nuvi 660.
I have the 4gb and it works well but I would like a bigger one for my music library.

is there anyway I can add map symbols on my nuvi 360 ... if so how? greatly appreciate any tips ... thanks eh

What is the total number of POI'S that you have on your unit! and how does it effect the performance of the GPSR?

I down loaded the school zone files from poi factory
and loaded them on my nuvi 660.
They are in a folder named school along with the other files ( speed, redlight, places ect ) but when I go around a school I don't get any warning.
Are the school zone files I down loaded surpost to give a warning are I doing something wrong?

OK, so when I'm using my 660 on battery power, the screen brightness is much brighter then when I have it plugged into the DC outlet. The cord I have with the traffic receiver only has the USB style connector on it and I see nowhere to connect that right into the mount so I'm plugging in to the Nuvi itself.

I have a c550. Is there a way for it to show me my current location in coordinates? You know, just in case I get lost in the woods and I need to tell the rescue helicopter exactly where I am.

There are some key features missing in the current generation of Nuvi's that would make me buy a new Garmin if they were added. I have a Nuvi 680 now that replaced a Streetpilot 2720. There are things on the StreetPilot I really miss.

Like the arrow that was above above the "next turn in XXX miles" box, to let you know to keep left/right.

Today was my first trip and the expereince left me with a question or 3.

1. I discovered poi icons don't show up at over 800' elevation. I really need them at 8mi! So, how do I do get them that far out?

Today was my first trip where I needed a gps to get there and back. I plugged in the address and was off. All was ok except my wandering all over the highway at 70 mph (others gave me lots of room!), until I wanted to get coffee.

I'm new to all the gps lingo, but I see a lot of buzz about Garmin's Mapsource. It sounds like it could help you create a personalized vacation route via your pc, and then transfer the info to your GPS unit. My question is whether or not the Nuvi 660 supports this, and how can I get it from Garmin? Is it a purchase only item?

I thought that once i got my device registered and everything that it would stop playing all the time. It didn't. Even when I put in an address and start a trip after a few minutes (not really sure how long, but at least 5 min.) my Garmin goes back to playing the demo. Does everyones do that?

Does anybody know if the SDHC cards work on the Nuvi 7xx? I can't find anything that indicates that they do support those cards, and I would think that if they do, they would advertise it that way.

Also, after seeing that post on the boot time using a 2GB card vs. the 4GB card, I suspect it is that lack of support that is extending the boot time.

Does anybody with the Nuvi x60's have issues with their bluetooth? I just got my 760 last week. The bluetooth seemed to work well at first, but the past couple of days, it keeps disconnecting, and when I get a call it doesn't really pick it up - I have to quickly send the audio to the phone.

I haven't checked for a while for updates. Seems the new one has been issued on March 27. Anyone updated? Any significant changes and is it worth upgrading now?

Thanks in advance!
