Garmin talk

I have a Nuvi 350 and a Nuvi 50 LM

Is there a way to turn off the audio alerts without reloading with POI loader.

I like having rest stops alerted when I go on long trips, but not for general day to day driving.

Happy New Year to all!!
Now time for the dumb question..(ha). If I load seven destinations into my 750, will I be routed to them in the order I load them in or will the 750 take me to them based on which is closer to my starting point? It is probably based on the order I load them in...but I can wish!!
Thanks for your input.

I am going to honolulu in a couple of weeks.I will be renting a car at the airport.I would like to be able to punch in the address on my nuvi 205 before i leave home.but i cant find the maps for honolulu.when i put in the address it tells me it is unavailable. I should mention that i am not very tech savvy, so any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Guys,

Santa bought me a Garmin 2440.

I was amazed when I turned it on and it found my location while I was indoors.

Does the 2440 use different technology as my old nuvi unit had to outside with a full view of the Sky before it would work.

I've not used it for navigation yet, but the 2440 looks like it's going to be a great piece of kit, plus I get map updates for life.

Is there a place here to find what the latest version of North American updates and when they were issued?

I have the older garmin 760 gps. I found this forum through google search.

Is it possible to download the POI database including the redlight/speed camera into my 760 or Do I need to buy a newer garmin like Garmin 50LM?

Thanks

what is the maximum size microSD card the 2555lmt takes?

I read through Motorcycle Mama's FAQ on installing .wav files to play alert sounds. Do the newer Nuvi's not play MP3's?

My old sound files do not play so I am assuming that I need to get .wav files installed on this unit?

Can someone confirm this?

Motorcycle Mama & Admin,

Well I pulled the trigger tonight and bought the 3490LMT and of course I'm in the charge up stage right now before I really get into it but from what I can tell so far is that the unit shipped with firmware version 2.60. Does anyone know what the latest version is and if there are release notes indicating the changes?

I have drive for many many years and always I have my Garmin and the Radar laser detector on my windshield.

I upgraded from a Colorado to a Montana. I loaded the same POI file that I used on my Colorado to my Montana. The problem is, some of the icons that I used don't show up properly. For example, I use the "Beer Mug BMP" icon. It does not look like the the icon on my GPS. It looks like it was blown up.

Why would some look fine and some not?

I have created a TourGuide using EPE and saved as Garmin GPX. The proximity distance is indicated in feet. When I open the file in Mapsource, the distance is indicated in miles. I want to change the display preferences in one or the other so that they match. How do I do that?

Hello and thank you for the opportunity to discuss issues I have with my new Garmin. First off, I would like to say that I am very satisfied with my new Garmin 1450. I have been using the Nuvi200w for several years and was also very satisfied.

Hey Guys

Have been a member here for a while but not really active as I have been happy with my 255W I bought a few years back. I have been bitten by the upgrade buy and have bought 2 units in the last week, so not sure which to keep:

1390LMT-bought at Costco for $149
2350LMT-bought at Best Buy for $149

I have a 765t, which of course already has the free Navteq lifetime traffic subscription, but I was wondering if anybody who has purchased the clear channel traffic subscription thinks it is worth the buy. I did notice Clear Channel covers a a bit more cities than the Navteq traffic coverage, but does the Clear Channel subscription provide more accurate traffic data than Navteq?

I just replaced my nuvi 660 with a 2555LMT. I downloaded my poi's to the new unit, but I'm getting the "tone" instead of the voice ".wav" file that is attached to the file. What did I do wrong in the setup?

I replaced the battery for 610 Nuvi only to find that the unit does not now start up. There was a garmin logo for 30seconds which flashed on and off and then nothing. If anyone can help me trouble shoot this then I would really appreciate some help.
Thanks

I for one really liked it, traffic was fairly accurate... I looked at stocks every day, enjoyed sending directions wireless to my GPS. Radar was clunky but useable. Movie times and even flight schedules were a convenience to me.

Too bad there is not a replacement for it with all the same functionality.

I have been getting this error message. It started yesterday using 2.7 so I decided to try using 2.61 on a different drive and still same error message. Poi Loader starts to create the file and then half way through the process, I get this error message: "There Was an unexpected error during the creation of the Custom POIFile. Any seen this error?

I recently replaced the battery in my nuvi 660 and in the process, the screen and touchscreen connectors came off. After reconnecting the ribbon cables, I now have a very dim screen and a line going across the screen. Any ideas at to what I'm doing wrong?

Also, to make matters worse, now my volume level (that you hear when you press the touch screen)is really quiet. HELP!
