Garmin talk

When I go with the default distance on the Red Light Camera file I get alerts on parallel streets. Each POI file is in separate folders on the SD card. I don't change the name as it comes from here. I have some POI files that are TourGuide, but they are in their own folders. Is there something embedded in the Red Light Camera file that causes this? I am using a Nuvi 265WT.

I'll be using the HD on my own car most of the time, but part of the reason I bought it is so I can troubleshoot any error codes that may come up on my own car as well as those of my fiancee's car and also her mother's car.

My Garmin nuvi 660 does not talk anymore. I don't know what to do. I find looking at the screen for directions is distracting while driving. Any solution to this problem?

Even after last firmware upgrade, the traffic icon turning grey or not showing up at all still exists on my Nuvi 765t. It was better after the firmware upgrdae but now again turning grey or not showing up at all. I think it turned worse after updated the extras e.g some m-chip update and some other updates after firmware.

Its a pain, driving somewhere, ask wife to put in address, she touches screen and warning lock up comes on. Is there a way to disable the key lock up while driving feature?

how i can make poi file for my c320 ??

i need to use any software to help ??

Where can I find the most updated POI for Kohls? The one on the site is last updated 03/27/2009.

Thanks,

I currently have a Nuvi 760. The battery just died in it. I been wanting to get lifetime traffic but the cheapest price I can find is at least $50. So if I was going to replace the battery myself (yep checked my serial number not on recall) that will cost me at least $20.

I recently downloaded and installed the "beaches" ppoi fro my garmin nuvi 255w. When i connect the 255 to my puter i can see the file was intalled albeit as a gpi file. My question is when i lookin in my Points of interest on the unit there is nothing there that says beaches. I want to see what beaches are on there but i cannot....

Has anyone else had a problem with the GPS voice sounding garbbled after starting the car and the power adapter plugged in?

The problem seems to go away if I turn the GPS off and then restart it. I minor issue, but still, am I the only one?

Any know solution?

keeping the "Harley Davidson Dealers for US & Canada" POI updated. Just finished a 2200 mile R/T to Spokane and the POI came in handy!

Having friends from Alaska and PA traveling in to town in October for some riding. As always, we plan to make stops at some of the H-D dealers for T-shirts during the ride and this POI will help.

I purchased a bundled 1490t. Will I be able to use the lifetime map card on another nuvi? I don't want to use it on the new nav, but on an older one that I own.

DESCRIPTION

Is it better to load custom POIs to your SD card or to the GPS? I know room wise it would be better, but if posting to the SD card, will the POIs still show up in Extras, and will they still function the same?

Garmin is recalling specific nuvi devices that were sold during a certain date. The battery is identified as potentially overheating, which could lead to a fire hazard. To see if your product is part of this recall, go to this page and enter your serial number.

The recalled devices include a small subset of the following nuvi model numbers:

* nuvi 200W, 250W, & 260W

I have a Garmin Nuvi 750. I have a long motorcycle trip coming up soon and an operational question came up that I can't seem to find an answer for.

Hello,

I am running into a strange issue. I have been creating GPX files using Extra_POI_Editor and then loading them with the GARMIN POI loader.

Lately all my GPX files have a 0.2 mi proximity alert for every POI in the file.

I definitely don't have proximity points in the file, and I load the GPX files in Express mode, so I am not manually updating the proximity alerts.

Just saw this article why browsing the web:

http://www.slashgear.com/garmin-nuvi-battery-recall-over-pot...

They are talking about a potential fire hazard with overheating batteries. It appears the 200W, 250W, 260W, 7xx and 7xxT (where xx is a two-digit number) model numbers may be affected.

Whatever covers the screen is flaking off, any suggestions on how to remedy or repair.

Thanks
