Garmin talk

I have a nuvi 855 and with the volume at a 100% it still seems to be too low...Is anyone experiencing the same? Is there any way to fix this?

I just recently started getting a "speed alert: 9 mph ahead" alert in one certain area of town. The alert shows up in a red box at the top of the display and "pings" every 10 second or so... very anoying when I'm listening to the radio and it keeps cutting out to play the notification sound.

In another post a couple of days ago I was asking about putting 2 separate maps on my unit. I got that answer. So after i loaded the second map on my unit i've noticed it's taking an awful long time to load the maps and to get to the Warning screen on start up. I am not loading the topo map just the 2011.20 2d and 3d. What happened? Space left on nuvi is 1.66 GB which is almost half.

If you use Garmin MapSource software, like I do, to manage your Saved Favorites, be careful when you transfer Saved Favorites from MapSource to Garminfone. I had saved files from my Garmin StreetPilot 2730, Nuvi 500, etc. and when I transferred them to my Garminfone, the Garminfone saved the file, but was unable to open the file and use the Saved Favorites.

Well it looks like what ever I do I can't seem to get rid of some of my Custom POIs. How do you just wipe it clean and just start over?

Has Garmin decided that the Street Pilot c550 is too old to keep the lifetime subscription of TTM alive? I purchased a subscription back in 2008 and now I can't get it on my machine.

I need to remove the disc mount from the dashboard. Any suggestions as to how/whether this can be done. Also what adhesive can be used to install it on another car.

With appreciation

How many times has your GPS brought you to a very busy highway and then told you to make a left turn across it, when one block down there was a light?
I personally would love to see a GPS that knew where trafic lights were and could guide you to them.
I can create a route to avoid this kind of turn in the towns I am familiar with but where I need a GPS is in places I am not familiar.

I tried to install these POI in my new 265WT with the Garmin POI loader but when I tried to save the downloaded files Excell telling my that it's not a standard CVS file and ask my if I want to conserv the format. I tried Yes and after No but none of those worked. POI loader telling me the CVS file is not correct and refuse to load it on my GPS.

HELP !

I am suppose to have 3D building detail on my 765t, but after having my unit for over a year, have never seen it. Anybody know where you have to go to see it? Dont see where you turn it on or off either. I have been all over NC, Charlotte, and big cities up in the NW. Minneapolis, would surely have it. Lane assist is real good there.

Hi everyone!

I'm new to the forum and to GPS ownership as well. Recently purchased a used Nuvi 760 that I intend to use both in my vehicles and on my Honda Transalp motorcycle.

On my recent trip to Richmond IN.for a dog show and hunt my GPS would recalculate while driving along a very long straight section of I75 N but it would still end up resuming where it left off,other than that it worked flawless as it always does.

Just a quick question... Is there a way to see the actual arrival "clock" time instead of the hour/min countdown on the 765T while its routing. I had the 255 model before and it would show me the arrival clock time not the countdown... Nice to see the time when I will get where I'm headed so I can tell folks when I will arrive. Thanks Dude and Dudettes

I was curious what is the jack that is located on the power cable for my Nuvi 765T used for?

I have two issues with the latest softwar update.

When I open POI Loader and the window for save options comes open all I have to choose from is Garmin Device or Custom Folder. There is no Mapsource option available. How do I get this option to appear in the save option window? All help will be appreciated.

Nuvi 750--- Is it possible to be located in city "A" and do a search In city "B",e.g. motels??

Does anyone know the max number of "stops", when creating a route, you can have on the Garmin nuvi 1490T? I read their manual and I cant find it anywhere?

Ok.....I confess my ignorance and have to ask a very stupid question.

How do I get an Alert Sound from the POI list to the directory on my computer where I store the POI files?? I'm sure this is something that too most is very simple.......I'm just not getting it, please help!
