New Garmin 255W Help

My wife just came home with a new Garmin Muvi 255W for our daughter for Christmas. Can someone give me a step by step order or walk thru of what I should do to make sure that it is working, updated and registered before giving it as a gift.

Thanks

Continuous alert or single alert for TourGuide radial alerts ?

I have read quite a lot regarding the TourGuide option of creating radial alerts so I can be alerted when I am within a certain distance of a custom POI.

My question is, will the audible alert that is used(A WAV file for my 205W) play continuously while I am within that radius of the alert or only play once as I go through the radius ?

A Shot in the Dark

I know this probably isn't possible, but is there a way to edit the map on my unit manually? The latest map update picked up some construction that they did last year and now completely routes me around a road that I travel every single day. Last year the bridge was out and thus the road was closed.

Don't Understand Routing Sometimes......

Leaving from my place to go to a friend's house (both listed in my favorites) I get one route. Going from my friend's house back home, I get a different route--what's up with that??

My settings are for shortest route, and regardless don't change between the away and return trip--so why does my Garmin 765T give me different routing? FWIW, my Nuvi 360 would do the same thing........

WEBUPDATER

When I tried to do a webupdater, where it ask to find the unit. It comes back unable to find the unit, it states to change the interface option to Garmin or Hoss. How do I do that.

Interesting side effect! (turning off 3D maps)

Playing with my 775T last night and I decided to turn off the 3D maps for NA, and Europe, as I use 2D only.

After using it today, I noticed the touch screen was far more accurate, and no misses for entering addresses, or any other icons. My only conclusion was it cut down on the processor load, and freed up a fair bit of memory as well.

Updating 765T Map Database

Hi all!!!!
Another "newbee" here. We recently purchased a 765T.
GPS works great......so far.

US and State route numbers

The Garmin 1390T uses street names instead of route numbers. Is there a way to make the Garmin tell me street numbers and the names?

Finding Coordinates for Favorites ?

Is there a way to find the lat/long coordinates of Favorites that are already saved to a GPS? I have not been successul in finding that information.

I know I can download it through a couple of downloadable programs available but I hoped there may be a way to view them without downloading.

nuvi repair

I have a old nuvi 350 that i bought years ago, it's a brick. I think it needs a new touch screen now. I'd like to repair it. Anyone have any advice to some, or should i just do garmins flate rate repair?

Road Trip for the Holidays

Hi all, I'm new here and I was wonder what the best POIs would be to download for a road trip from Spokane Washington, to the upper part of Minnesota, Basically driving through Wa, Id, MT ND, and MN. If anyone has so good advice, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Need Parts for GDB 50 Cable

Can anyone direct me to a source of supply for an end piece and silver tip (Garmin's names: go to Garmin's FAQ page and then click on the link labeled How do I reassemble my GTM 20 or GDB 50? for an illustration) for a GDB 50 cable?

What's More Accurate--Speedometer or GPS?

Going down a flat highway on cruise control my speedometer shows my truck going 73 mph--Nuvi 765T says 68--who's right?

A 1999 Tacoma 4x4 ext cab is my main rig. I run 31 10.50 R15 tires which came stock on my TRD version. I know that oversized tires and/or rear diff mods can impact speedo accuracy, but generally speaking the GPS should be more accurate right?

Need help with a time/world clock problem on a 765

Hi all,
My clock is showing an hour later than the actual time. I deselected "automatic" & set it manually so now the clock shows the correct time but when I set a route the arrival time is still an hour off. Interestingly, its world clock shows that today is Monday July 16, 2029 (time flies).
