Garmin talk

MY Nuvi gave me a terrible route coming home from North Carolina. I had just upgraded to the latest maps before I left on the trip (City Navigator North America NT 2011.1). When I got home, I tried this route in Mapsource, and got some insane results!

Try this. First, make a waypoint for Hartford, CT and another for Aurora, NC.

Is there anyway to catagorize the favorites area of a Garmin nuvi 660 and nuvi 765T. I travel allot being a bus driver and it would be so helpful to be able to put favorites from each city into a folder for that city. I have that in my customs POI folder... Now I just need to have it in my Favorites...

BTW Ill keep my 660 over the new 765t anyday.

Thanks for any advice!

It's He** getting old. I have a NUVI 265wt and the Extra Icons are almost to small to see the design. I just had my eyes check and there 20/20. So it might not be me. Is there any way to enlarge the Icons?

If I bought a new Traffic receiver would I have to purchase a new subscription. I had one from my 660 which is being used by my daughter and still in my name I would like to use it on my 885?

I was informed by someone in Canada that Staples offers a downloadable map for Garmin Nuvi that has the Carribean countries.
I am looking for Guyana and Brazil especially.

Does anyone have any info regarding this?

I will be contacting Staples on Tuesday to verify this info, however I though to ask if any of you are aware of this.

i just bought my garmin 465t ,for truck mode it say max of weight per axle ....that mean one weight for a axle or total weight for each axle???

Never had traffic in my area before. This morning I turn the GPS on, Nuvi 265t, and had the icon. It stayed green all and never got an offer for a coupon whenever I stopped. Is there a way to tell if it is for traffic in my area or somewhere else? The reason I ask is after touching the icon, then choosing search traffic it has places about 122 miles away showing green.

I bought a 765T at Christmas time. Works great and I am very pleased with it. However I have noticed a glitch. Sometimes I just want to listen to mp3s (using the FM transmitter) when I am driving within the city, without using the GPS for directions. Every so often, the FM transmitter refuses to work till I punch in a destination in the GPS.

Since yesterday (05/27/10) I have been unable to transfer locations from Google Maps to my Nuvi 760. The send function button is shown, but when I click it and proceed to GPS, it just sits there. I also noticed that the option to input the phone number was missing also. I have never had this problem before and was wondering if anyone else out there was seeing this?
Great place, BTW!

New Garmin 1350T With Life Time Map Updates.

Garmin Nuvi 500:

I have a 770 and I am thinking very seriously of buying a new 500. It is waterproof, handles hiking, biking, boating, you name it. On sale at Costco for 199.00 plus for another 100.00 you can add lifetime map upgrades and traffic.
Does anyone have one of these? If so, how do you like it?

It looks like the new Europe map is just out, it wasn't available just a week ago. Quite a lag behind the 2011 North America.

Is anyone having issues with the Garmin Connect Photo website? It loads but with errors and I can't seem to figure it out.

How do I hide all of the little icons which represent the POI's from the Garmin database. I want to look at the map in the highest detail, but every thing on the map is covered up with all these little icons which represent the POI's.

I'm trying to help out a buddy of mine who's mechanically/electronically challenged. He has a Streetpilot III with what appears to be the original maps from 9 years ago.
He's not aware of any data cord that came with it and I don't see a USB plug-in port. It does have a 250mb "Garmin" data card.

I cannot seem to find the setting to enable voice prompts. When I first got it I shut them off, now I want to turn it back on and am stumped!!!

Great Site .... Gotta luv it.... GPS team... I have a special question/issue... My daughter recently moved into a newly built apartment complex which has a street address that I can only find though Mapquest only. Once I save it to my GPS how do I find it so I can set it as a favorite??? I would think it would save under Custom POI but it didn't...

Just subscribed to the safety cam feature for my Garmin 765
I have a few questions.
1. Will I need to be in the traffic mode to get the camera alerts.
2. Will there be any type of icons or dots on my map letting me know where the cameras are?

Thanks in advance

Just downloaded the 2011 update for the 885 from garmin site.

I get this message when trying to update the POI files on nuvi 360.

Additionally, the G: drive is the PC internal DVD drive while the nuvi is N: drive.

I tried to direct the update to the poi folder within nuvi to same error message.

I have updated my nuvi 680 with this PC before, therefore I am baffled by this response.

Please help, TIA
