Garmin talk

I bought a 1690 and used it for a week; when I clicked on weather a button for forecast would appear at the bottom of the screen. I had to take the unit back to exchange because the unit stopped working. The new one doesn't have the weather forecast button. When I called the help desk they told me to touch the city, when I did the forecast appeared. Just in case anyone was having the same problem.

Just downloaded new update for nuvi 680. May be available for other 6xx series as well. Version 4.70 to 4.80 dated Dec. 15, 2009

Hi.

I loaded some mp3 sound files in to my Nuvi 765T but hear no sound set on simulator. Wave files work fine. Is there anything I have to do with the mp3 files to make them work?

I have a 750 with maps that are old (2007)! I noticed that Garmin has a new map update($69) and lifetime update ($119). Is there a better "deal" out there or is this it? I am noticing that I do need something because with all the new construction completed 2 years ago in my area, my 750 can not deal with it.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Happy Holidays to all.

I'm trying to install the Garmin POI Loader on my PC running Windows 7. Part-way through the install process, a pop-up states that the install cannot continue unless I can point to the 'MAIN.msi' file from a previous installation of the POI Loader....

I am planning a trip to Albuquerque in early June. I intend to head down to Billings and take I-25 through Wyoming and Colorado. I will have five days for the trip down and would like to take in some of the tourist attractions, history and scenary.

Any suggestions for unique sites would be greatly appreciated!

My nuvi 350 shows golf courses as I am going along. How do I make it stop? I no longer care where golf courses are.

Thanks

Hello.

I'm having a problem installing the Garmin map update 2010.30 on my new 765T and hope someone can help. After extracting map update I get a message A communication error has occurred. I tried a few times and always get the same massage.
Also the icon on the desktop looks like an empty square. Could that be a bad download?

Thank you.

I am attempting to download my one time free map update. I connected the GPS and am downloading the 2 GB file through download manager. However, it is taking forever.

I have connected my Garmin 255W to my PC in the past with no problem. This time I connected the Garmin-to-PC cable and I got the twotone bleep as always. But when I start the POI Loader and it gets to the screen with the device list, the Garmin device is not in the drop-down list, only the Removable Disks. I disconnected and reconnected the cable and turned the Garmin on and off.

Good evening folks.

(first post)

I'm wondering if anyone's succeeded at changing the default home screen on the 265WT (or on other models based on the same core code).

What I mean is this: I've hard-wired the unit into momma's car. Each time she gets in and starts the car, the GPS boots up and brings her to the home screen where she has to pres "View Map" to get to the live map view.

Does anyone make a low profile direct wire usb cord for in car installations?

I need help putting together a list of the Models that need SOX.Exe, so that I can make an FAQ page with the list.

Could someone figure this out for me and post it below please?

Thanks,

Can I purchase scratch resistant transparent cover for my Garmin and have it professionally installed?

Thanks.

On the Garmin 855 only a few of the rest areas are shown from the file. Those few present are 2200 miles from my current location. The device has 1.5 MB of memory available after loading the file. Why doesn't all of the rest stops in the file appear on the Garmin?

Garmin has "parked" three new "vehicles" in the garage.

I can't find any answer as to why my Garmin 765T can't see or read my SD Memory Card
I've tried to load pictures and MP3's directly to the card thru Microsoft Explorer, that doesn't work. I've tried to use the POI loader to transfer to the card and no luck. I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
I see the files on the SD when in Explorer, but the GPS doesn't see them.

Thanks for reading my query.

First of all, is it correct that the "Proximity Field" in Mapsource 6.15.6 does NOT work on my Garmin 885T? Garmin tech support says it does NOT but it took the guy 15 minutes to find out...and so I have little faith that he actually had any firsthand knowledge.
