Garmin talk

I downloaded a vehicle for my GPS, but I would like to change the colour.

Does anyone know how I can make this change to an srf file.

I'm not sure if I have a problem or not....

My new 755 seems to be less accurate than it should be. I have spoken with Garmin and done a hard boot but still have some issues.

If I type in my address for Home... the GPS shows that my address is about 2 blocks away from its actual location. This happens even if I input the coordinates.

If i ever thought for a minute Garmin would listen i'd ask them to make an icon that would take you back to the main screen. Ever go into Unit to check some stuff or change things and then you have to hit the back button 60 million times to back to the main screen? Just me or other people find that a pain also?

I have a Garmin 855. It did not come with Traffic Alert.
Can I add the Traffic Alert? What do I have to do to make that happen.

I just loaded 2010.4 update onto my Garmin 1690.I noticed that while driving on major highways the update now includes "roads" that are not exits. Hence the unit now has (the obnoxious) "Road Ahead" in the banner where the exit information used to be. Once you pass the "road" it puts the next exit. This is just plain stupid as no one can exit anyway. Anyone else experiencing/annoyed by this?

Today only!

Anyone know how to cancel a via point on a 255W/T without cancelling the destination? I entered a destination, then another, to create a via point. I arrived at the via point location, but it didn't want to recognize that I was there. Once I moved on towards the final destination, the unit kept trying to reroute me back to the via point.

If I load a bunch of POI files to my Garmin will those results come up when I am searching for a place to navigate to? For example, if load all the McDonalds using POI loader and in that list are locations that aren't in the internal memory of the unit, will they show up in search results when looking for a McDonalds?

I have created several custom GPX files and loaded them into my NUVI 255W. My Nuvi only displays the first 52 POI's in a file. i.e. when I page down the list of places it stops at POI 52(13 pages of 4 POI's). Is this a known limit on the GARMIN Nuvi? I thought my files were corrupted but I think it's a limit on my Garmin. Anybody know?

Hi.

I want to install some new POI files in my Nuvi but can't see the full name and extensions on my laptop running Win. XP. I know there is a setting to change this somewhere but I don't remember how to do this.
Can anybody help?

Thanks.

I was driving along Hwy 91A.. there were 2 places where junction view pop up.. and on my way back from US along 99
North..junction view pop up again just before exit 16 to 91A..way to go Garmin..and there were lane assist at a lot of intersections...

I've seen a similar post for this question, but can't find it. I have a 765t and looking at it i see a bunch of files that i want to delete. But what's what in there? In Audible I had those book thingy's deleted them. Text, vehicle. voice, help, lex_pkg and reports are no brainers.

I have my StreetPilot c580 for over 4 years now, and I want to upgrade to nUvi 765? Any suggestions? Any thoughts? I am greatful for any suggestions.... Once again thank you

I have tracks on Mapsource but I can't find a way to get them onto the Nuvi 750. I've tried everything I can think of. I can get waypoints onto the Nuvi but not the tracks. I have City Nav and Topo on the Nuvi. Help will really be appreciated!

Would like to erase the 2010.30 map now that i have downloaded the 2010.40 map to my computer. Want to avoid clutter and using up disk space on the computer. Thanks.

how do I set proximity alarm to a new distance on a streetpilot c340 for my poi

With the lifetime updates , I can up date my Garmin 1490T 4 times a year, will my unit run out of drive space? Do they replace the old map with the new one? Thanks for the help!

I kind of am, but especially on prices that are obtainable on the web. I even thought the co. was European (nuvi?) but when I read up on it, boy was I in for a surprise, it's American. I had always wondered why made in Taiwan, but then I read up on the co......

Firefox version 3.6 is available. If you do not already have Garmin Communicator 2.9.1.0, you will have to update that as well. Garmin Communicator download is here http://www8.garmin.com/products/communicator/

It did not work at first, but I uninstalled Garmin Communicator 2.8.xxx and reinstalled 2.9.1.0 and the Garmin test page says it's working OK now.

Ok I only want to be able to simply save any favorites I find while driving across the US to my SD Card.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 760.

How do I do this? thanks!
