Garmin talk

Ok, I know there is a lot of hype surrounding recent upgrades to MSN Direct Version 2. My question is for those of us who purchased their Garmins (especially Nuvi 7xx series) without an MSN receiver included. Is this upgrade worth going out and purchasing an MSN traffic receiver for $125.00? The 7xx series does not come with MSN receivers.

My Nuvi 660 has an auto setting to conserve battery power by blacking the screen after a given period of inactivity. Can if be set up to shut down automatically?

hi i am new GPS user nuvi750. i set my gps in pedestrian mode while walking and after i enter in to my car i forget to change to automobile. it navigate me all the way in local road and some time it ask me to enter in to one way. after a while i got upset and try to get into highway which i know very well, it ask to take the exit immediately. i got frustration and switched off the gps.

does the c330 accept log. lat. numbers,?havent figured out how to do that yet.or if you can

New 650 user and so far I really like the unit. I was wondering about one thing though. As I’m driving I notice many POIs and I was wondering if there is any screen or list available to show what these places are? I mean other then going under Menu – Where to - Food – etc?

Does anyone else use a GPS chartplotter for boating? I see that others have posted boat ramp POIs, so I assume that there are other boaters here. I just bought a Garmin GPSMAP 430s (inland) for my boat and was wondering if I can find boating information just like the street information on this site.

Can the POI Icons listed on this site be used on Garmin 260? If so, How can I download the POI loader? Thanks.

i have a c330 will a sd card from my magellan color work with the 330 i think its a 64 meg card

I just joined and would like to know how can I download red light/speed cameras to my nuvi 350?

do i have to wait the few weeks to be a considered as an active user or can this be achieved by posting quite frequently in say....a week or 1 1/2?

Can i edit the names of custom POI files to my liking?? Does the nuvi 200 support custom sound files? If so, would i add that the same way as i did with the icons and actual POI files??? Thanx

I've noticed that some POI's require you to select the type download you're requesting, are ya'll familiar with these POI's and can you tell me what file I should download using a Zumo550? Below is an example:

"http://www.poi-factory.com/poifile/30014/download"

I was wondering if there is a way to search for POI files for the chicagoland area. Thanx

Hey guys, i'm new to this and i have successfully uploaded some customs POI's to my nuvi. My question is where can i go to get the 'red light cameras' for the Chicago area? Thanx for the feedback

I hate to bother ya'll with this, but my Zumo 550 will open csv files without a problem. My question is, will it also open a gpx file along with the csv files??

I download POD Casts to listen to on my nuvi 650. The program I listen to is 30 minutes long. My commute is 15 minutes. So I listen to half on the way to work the other half on the way home. Sometimes when I get in the car to come home the program restarts at the beginning, usually it resumes where it left off. What do I need to do to have it consistently resume where it left off?

I have a Nuvi 680 and loaded a second map called Fishing spots. Anyone know how to delete this map from the unit?

Is their any workaround the 10 route limit such as loading sets of routes/waypoints on a SD card and then importing or activating a set?

I'd like to have more than 10 routes on the 7xx without having to attach to the computer and download a different set from Mapsource.

After updating my c530 with CN NA NT 2008, I then installed it to my PC from (CD drive):\windows\setup .

Browsing the maps on the PC and GPS I noticed they aren't the same. A triple roundabout south of me is on the GPS, but not on the PC version.

You would think they would be the same maps as they came from the same DVD. I think Garmin has a hole in their programming heads.

I am under the impression that there is a setting in the nuvi650 that allows you to change the earphone jack to a line-out setup.

Is that true? and how do you change the settings?

thanks
