Garmin talk

I had a problem when I tried to check out the speed and red light cameras after I "thought" I had installed the poi in the 255WT. So now today I am looking thru my Garmin and I see "extras" and "Custom POI" and the speed cameras and redlights are there and nothing else, so I thought I forgot to install all the others I got here like the rest areas, wendy's etc.

Garmin 255WT, how do I select just a "city" as a destination (no address) and I need to save that destination and name it just like an address so that I can just bring up the favorites-addresses, click on it and head 500 miles to that city, then click on the next city and go another 500 miles to that city, etc?
Thanks, Gene

How can I get my POI's off my C330?

I just updated my Nuvi software from version 6.00 to 6.20.

1. Has anything been done to remove the cross streets from being displayed?

2. Do others find that acquisition of satellites takes significantly longer?

3. Any other differences Nuvi 350 users have found?

Thanks.

Did something reeealy stupid. Upon receiving the 780 I plugged it in to charge, and after, selected Russian as the language. Don't ask how that happened, long weekend perhaps. Trouble is, I don't speak or read Russian.
How stupid was that!? I can't follow any text instructions.

Can some one please tell me how to correct this problem?

I downloaded and installed the red light and speed cameras from this website, now how do I know where they are when driving alog? I just drove out on our freeway where I know 2 different cameras are located. The speed is 65mph and you will get a ticket going 11mph over that so at 76mph you will get a ticket.

The latest Costco Magazine received yesterday shows a Garmin 1390T with lifetime traffic and LIFETIME MAP UPDATES starting on January 7Th. Does not show a price and is not on the Costco website yet. It says less $100 but no price....

I have a new 255WT and was wondering how to get it to display the remaining distance in miles on the screen after I have entered an address and am on my way?
Thanks for any help as I must be missing some setting?

The cigarette lighter power socket in my car is not working. When I drive with my nuvi 775T running on battery power, I do not get any traffic alerts. Any thoughts on how I can get traffic alerts on battery power?

Thanks.

Does anyone know if the AC power adapter from the the Nuvi 765 is compatible with the 1490T.
The AC adapter for the 765 is 9v and I believe the AC adapter for the 1490T is 12 v.
I don't want to ruin my new 1490T with the wrong adapter.

Thanks,

HI All. Just updated from my old street pilot to a nüvi260w. I installed the latest maps and downloaded the newer software (6.1 I believe)

Did a check with webupdater tonight, and there was nothing new. So, I went to myGarmin and it said there was new SW to install... Checked my free space on the nuvi and it stated 4110.9 megs. Did the update and now is down to 4109.4, a difference of 1.5 megs. FW version is the same (3.90), no new voice updates, help files, or anything I could see.

Thoughts on this?

I just upgraded from a Pharos 150 GPS unit which I didn't really like for its software mostly.

There are several things that I do miss already after playing around with the 255WT:
1) Not being able to change 2D/3D/North up directly from the map screen.

I picked up a stellar deal on the Jawbone2 Plus at Costco yesterday! However, as we all know, the BT PW for the Nuvi is 1234, but the Jawbones' is 0000. Anyone know of a way to do this?

We're leaving from Peoria, IL for Biloxi, MS right after xmas and we'll be there until March 15. Anyone know of any detours, problems, etc that we may encounter on I-55 South? We plan to stay on I-55 most the way thru MS.

I have a 755t, and I live in the DC area, whenever I turn it on and it always say no traffic, but if I let it sit for a while. Man traffic start to pop up like there is no tomorrow. The problem become, whenever I turn it on and go right away, it would always send me into a highway with 30 mins delay and it wouldn't inform me of it until I almost hit it.

Hello,

Happened to run Webupdater this evening and discovered software update version 6.20 available (dated 12/18/09) for my 350. Sounds familiar to the recently reported 6xx update.

Changes made from version 6.10 to 6.20:

• Fixed problem where certain voices could sound garbled.
• Fixed issue that could occur working with Safety Cameras.

Is there a way to download the custom locations entered into your GPS to a .csv file? Thank you in advance for your information.

My pet peeve is being given directions to use road names when there are no names in sight but there are well marked route numbers posted all over the place.
