Garmin talk

Hi, I just purchased a 265WT which so far works great. I did have a TomTom which was pretty old. Now I have a nicer GPS unit and it has the same features as my old TomTom had. One of the problems that I am having is getting my POI to sound a alert when I am approaching. Is this a feature on the 265WT that I can go to, or it is just impossible to do with the 265. Thanks Steve....

This might be a rumour, a friend told me that he got NA 2011.10 map update from garmin, anybody know if this is true ?.

I purchased a 1490T at Costco ($249.99) and it came loaded with version 3.60. I upgraded to 3.90 and it is working without any problems traffic or otherwise, to date. I have a 765T and have been waiting for over a month to have Garmin fix the traffic reception problem caused by 3.90 on the 765T. I am told by my Garmin contact that the engineers are working on it.

I have loaded a Red Light Camera alert on my 265wt and nothing happens except two (2) bells when approaching a Red Light Camera. I have change the mp3 name to look just like the CSV file except for the MP3 extension.

Does the 265wt support a mp3 sound?

Wow does this unit ever look great! Slim sleek design! I want one!

When Garmin sends out a map update, does it include updates to the built in POIs that come with the unit?

A bit unrelated to POIs however I currently have a Quest 2 and am able to create routes and send them to the device. I use this for motorcycle rides. I'm going to be upgrading to a Nuvi however when doing comparisons on products at Garmin's website all of the units under $250 say "Routes: 0" Does that mean you can't create a custom route and send to the device?

The waiting and wondering is over.

Below is a link to the new Nuvi 3700 series announced today on the Garmin website..Other than design I don't see anything earth-shattering and you wonder why they wouldn't make it in the 5" rather than the 4.3" and doesn't mention nu-link.

Does anyone have a garmin VIB 10 that they are not using and might want to sell?

If so use my contact button and let me know.

I have constructed a mapset on my PC using both CNNA 2010 and topo maps - MapSource. I have also created 40 custom waypoint icons in the proper format. The Custom icons appear on the maps on my PC, but do not migrate when I transfer the mapset to my 276c unit. When I look on the menu for custom waypoint icons, that field is blank, and generic icons are assigned to the waypoints on the unit.

I'm planning to purchase a nuvi 760 and am just learning about FM traffic options. I see several providers to choose from: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=268

Which do you recommend? On units with free traffic, which provider is used?

I have just downloaded rest areas to my 660. They are found in Extras under Custom POIs. How do I put them in their own heading of Rest Areas? I would like to add other Groups of POIs but want to keep them under seprate headings. How do I do it? When traveling what is the best way to find out how far you are away from the next rest area on your chosen route?

Goof afternoon.
I just installed the Tim Horton POI and can't get the icon to show???

Please help.

Tks from Newfoundland!

I will be in the market soon to buy a new car. While I have a nuvi 750 and am very pleased with it, my heart wants a built in GPS because it is another toy to play with and makes the dash look "Hi-Tech". Can I have some feed back from members who have switched from hand held to built-in and let me know the pro's and con's as you have experienced them.

Call me more money than brains.

I recently purchased a new 1490T with free FMTraffic subscription. I am supposed to enter a code to activate the subscription, but i cannot find the code anywhere.

I need some advice.

I downloaded the latest version of the Extra POI Editor and successfully installed it on my desktop system. I've run the program and it works great.

I am wondering about the usefullness of the Paris City Explorer map.

I just acquired a nuvi 1490 as an upgrade from my nuvi 750. One apparently useful element of the 1490 is its ability to take advantage of public transportation for routing, whereas most other units do not have that capability.

I browsed FAQs, but did not find specific instructions on the subject.
What do I do if I found a POI file providing incorrect info?
Guide me, please...

Would you buy this GPS 765t
I'm thinking about it

Hello everybody,

Maybe someone can help me with this: I don't know why, but my GPS unit doesn't provide a good level of sound when it call the indications. It always run ok but this problem show up today. Everything work fine with my POI sound alert and my MP3 songs.

The level is at 100% but we can hardly hear the voice.

Any clue ????
Any solutions ???

Thanks
Have a great week-end
