Garmin talk

Hello, we have finally got the Garmin Nuvi 465t truck GPS to do OK for trucking with a lot of help from Map Source and the big RandMcnally Truck Map. The big issue is routing and stop errors.

I played with Mapsource creating a route. After loading it in to my gps I can't find it any more. Does anybody know where I can find it?

Thanks.

The wife was driving down the road and the 765T and it's suction cup cradle disengaged from the windshield and by the time it made its way to the floor, the screen was broken. Anybody know if Garmin will replace it for a reasonable price?

My old Nuvi 200 had more accurate maps for street addresses than what my new unit with 2010 maps does.

My old 2009 maps and nuvi show my house in the correct location buy my new nuvi and 2010.10 maps show if about a quarter mile further down than what is correct.

Understand this release likely to come out late July early Aug. I have until approx Aug 12th per my 60 days.

How much typically gets updated on a quarterly new release. Understand poi likely get updated but how much map info gets updated a lot or just a little typically ? ? ?

I've recently noticed that after having downloaded the most recent updates for the voice files I use and then use WebUpdater a second time, it will still show the same updates for download.

With the Garminfone now available in the US and the Dell Streak available in the UK and coming to the US, I was wondering if Garmin made a 5" Garminfone--a Garminfone slate or tablet, would you buy one?

Should I get it? Where is the Best deal right now for it?

What are the good & the bad?

Thanks.

Found out yesterday that the 1450 (and i suspect others) has a overtemp shutdown. I left my gps on the dash and went inside shopping and when i come back to the car the gps had a totally black screen when i hit the on/off button it come alive with a message saying it was shut down automaticly shut down due to excessive temperature, Dont ever remember anyone talking abot this.

We have a password on our Garmin device, but we keep reading news stories that GPS units are a hot item for thieves. If passwords actually worked, it would seem this would not be the case.

Is anyone using an external microphone with their gps 855, if so can you give the part number and make, and where did you get it. This would take care of the noise inside the car when using the VR. I think.

Does anybody know how to change gpx poi to csv poi. I found some sites that I like but there are only gpx.
I have a Garmin 650.

Hi All,

As you know, when I add POI files to my Garmin nuvi through the Garmin (POI Loader), they are added to the device under the (Extras) menu.

But what if I would like to add them under (Favorites) which is much easier to access?

What is the trick?

Thanks.

I am looking into the 765T but its an older unit should I still buy it or a newer unit. I need one with traffic. Any recommendations?

I logged into my Dashboard this morning and found there is a software update.
Does anyone know what's in the update?
How do I find out what's in the update before I allow it?

I was wondering if anybody has experienced something similar to this:

My 255W seems to be reluctant to remember connections with phones. Every phone I've tried to use with it, each time it's turned on, it prompts for the passcode (1234) to be entered on the phone, regardless of what settings I use on both the phone and the Nuvi.

Any ideas on what to do?

My Garmin Nuvi 465T tells me to go to www.garmin.com/fmtraffic to acquire a subscription code and to enter my traffic receiver id but ive wracked my brain for hours to find any such thing. HELP
