Anyone care to guess when Garmin will discontinue the 755T?

I see that the price on Amazon is now $206. I don't have any need to upgrade right now, but the newer units don't have the specific features I'd like to have, so I figured I might wait until the line is discontinued and get it at a clearance price.

Just wondering when I need to start paying attention.

Thanks

I used POI Loader to upload 2,125 POIs to my Zumo 500. However, when I try to access them on my Zumo, they're not all there. Does the Zumo limit the number of POIs that it displays based on distance from the POI? In other words, is there a cut off with respect to distance from the POI? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

A friend of mine purchased a Nuvi 255w. I helped him over the phone to set up custom POI's. The only problem
was after he downloaded and installed the latest POI loader, we first attempted .gpx files and he keeped getting an error. I converted the POI's to .CSV's and no problem. Does this mean that .gpx format does not work with Nuvi 255w?

Hi All, I'm new to this forum and I am hoping that somebody has already found an answer to my problem. I need to keep the speed camera proximity alerts that are loaded as default but they are driving me mad. I understand that if we turn the sound down on the mixer that this would affect all volume including the volume for directions.

Got to test the TourGuide for CrackerBarrell......

And it worked beautifully!!! Thanks all!

Nuvi 660 with all updates.

Just got back from week in NC, 17 miles from the I40 rockslide that has closed I40.

Our destination was east of rockslide, and we live west of rockslide.... We took mountain roads to get there, and decided we'd try somthing else going back.

When downloading POI Garmin POI Loader did not ask if I wanted to atore the data on SD card verses device. Can someone tell me how to work around this?

Can anyone tell me if the clear channel traffic will work with my nuvi 680? Any comments on clear channel and the 680? Since MSN is no longer, I would like to still get some traffic info. The coverage seems to suit me better with clear channel as opposed to navteq, for the areas I travel in. I have found a GTM20 with clear traffic included, but would like some input before I make the purchase.

I am making an upgrade from 255 to a 755t, I had problem with Garmin Voice back in the 255. I also heard that the 755t has a small voice? anyone found this to be a problem? and any work around for this.

Has any new way been developed to delete poi entries that came with the Garmin? For example, would like to delete 10 or so Quisno's that have closed that keep showing up in the poi. I believe that originally no pois stored in the original Garmin program could be changed unless someone reversed engineered their program? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone.

I currently have a Nuvi 350 which has been working fine. The thing I was contemplating was upgrading the maps on the curreent unit (2008 maps) or getting a brand new unit (255w) at one of the Black Friday sales.

Hello.

I installed a ATTENTION, THIS GPS IS LOCKED screen in my 255W. Now I want to sell it and forgot how to remove it. Any help please.

Just bought the new Garmin nuvi 465T. I used it for a week and sent it back. I'm a trucker and need a good gps, this one is ok, but not what it's suppose to be. It still needs some tweeking and updating. I think it's nothing more than a car gps with some truck features. I rate it a 6 out of 10. Not worth the 499.00

I've had it! Sent back my second 885T. Sick of the constant locking up and the foolish voice recognition. Maybe some day when Garmen improves on VR I'll give it another try, until then, I'm getting the 765T and hoping for the best.

Ran across this web site offering the Nuvifone G60 for free with a new service plan.

I just acquired a 765T and have previously used the Invisible Shield products on cell phones. I visited their website at zagg.com and they only have a generic 700 series listed for the Garmin Nuvi.

Can anyone confirm that the physical dimensions are identical for all the 700 series including the 7X5.

TIA,

Alan

Stanalones are here to stay they will evolve and intergrate to become total personal communincation devices. Far beyond the static devices loaded into the dashes of automobiles.

This evolution will be very interesting! Stay tuned the future is now !!

Besides,in dash GPS models do not load custom POI's very well.

Have a great Week-End !

Hi.

I have the nuvi 885t.

Has anyone else had an error message when using voice recognition search for POI's?

I use the VR and speak "Where to" and that is OK.

Then I say "Points of interets" and that is OK.

Then it asks if I want to search by category or Place name.

I say "Place Name" and an erro rmessage comes up that reads:
