Garmin 770 - turn by turn to OEM bluetooth?

Is it possible to get a Gamrin Nuvi 770 to send the turn by turn direction via bluetooth to a car OEM bluetooth integration.

Say I am listening to the radio, and when some information from the GPS comes, have the radio silence and hear through the speakers.

Just like a cell phone integration does when receiving a phone call?

Why are Dining POI so terrible?

I used to own a Magellan GPS prior to 765T. It gets pretty frustrating sometimes that the dining POI is pretty sub-par. Does not have basic categories for Asian cuisines! This should come standard.

Any thoughts!

Garmin Mexico map...2011.10

I was wondering why after I loaded the 2011.10 map that I had Mexico but no POI's. Whenever I searched a city and went to points of interest it always brought up places in the U.S. I could go to cities and bring up towns but no street data or POI"s. I got the base map version evidently. I could see some highways.

Loading Map on SD Card

I have my SD Sub directories setup the same as my NUVI 350 sub directories and currently load all my POIs onto the SD Card.

At the present time, I have sufficient memory on my NUVI with about 500+ Meg free space. I had 600+ Meg before I loaded 2011.10. It is likely that I will eventually run out of room.

Deleting Unused Files

Can I delete the voice files and help files from my Garmin that are not required. For instance, the ones for a foreign language? This would give me more room to download needed POI's etc?

numaps 2011.10

It was available for download for my 760.

Nuvi internal speaker

Anyone know where to purchase an internal speaker for a 680? I know how to change it, just can not find where to buy the part. With all the posts about the internal speaker you would think someone would sell them.

Question on maps

I drove from Florida to NY this weekend.
The only place I had a problem with my GPS was going through the Virginnia Washington area.
I know that the new roads are not in my GPS and it went crazy recalculating. The same thing happens near Tampa Airport with the new roads.
Does anybody know if the new maps from Garmin have the updates with these roads on it?

CUSTOM POI files present, but no GO TO option

Hi: I have 192 custom POI's loaded to my Garmin
Nuvi. They were created as a large GPX file with MAPSOURCE, and uploaded with POI LOADER. They are all present in the CUSTOM POI box within the EXTRAS area. The problem is that the waypoints have NO "GO-TO" Button to allow navigation to the POI. Any ideas? THANKS A LOT. I'm a POI Factory newbie. RMWAC

1300 slow to aquire satalites

Hi All my nuvi 1300 takes about a min to get the birds. I thought I read that it is only supposed to take about a couple of seconds. Everything else seems to work properly. Im not sure what do do, if anything. Thoughts?

Thanks for the help

P.S. I HATE that security crap. I don't even bother posting much any longer because of it. When I joined this site that mess wasn't there.

How do you load routes on Nuvi 755t?

I was looking through what's included in the box (just bought one) and it doesn't seem to have any software. My Quest 2 used the Map Source app from Garmin to load things onto it however I've sold that and no longer have the software installed.

Garmin Traffic Receiver GTM 25 has ads on my Nuvi 1300

I have a Nuvi 1300. I bought the GTM 25 traffic receiver.

I didn't think this one was ad supported, but it is. I have ads for Best Buy, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and others.

limited number of custom POI displayed on nuvi 1450

HI: My first post. I am a sailplane pilot, and I am attempting to create a database of all the airports our club might land at. We currently have 192 airports in our database. I have a NUVI 1450 and created a CUSTOM POI .gpx file containing these 192 Airports. Works fabulously.... but only for the 50 CLOSEST airports.

Installing CNNT NA map updates to multiple Nuvi units

I own a Nuvi 775T, 1260T and 660 and have Garmin lifetime city Navigator map updates on each. When a new map update comes out, I have generally downloaded the EXE file from MyGarmin and then launch that file to build the map image on the PC and transfer to my 775T unit first.
