Garmin talk

Hello all i am quite new to this site I have poked around for a few -

I have a question and was wondering if anyone can help me? I am in sales and i am always on the road - I noticed my Nuvi 265WT has an SD slot so i went out and got a 2 GB card, Great!! well here is the question.

i know april 2010.10 came out
and july 2010.20 come out so when is 2010.30 coming out i thought it would could out about every 3 to 4 mouths was thinking like oct or nov ?

Nuvi 5000 and nuvi 200w
( life time maps )

I've just gownloaded the current POI Loader v 2.5.3 from the Garmin site, and run the install bit.

I cannont find any reference to the POI Loader file created by running the install. Any suggestions? How do I access the file to donload the POI's to my GPS?

Brand new factory sealed Garmin 885T for $199.02 plus $13.00 shipping fedex or UPS.
The place- "The Perfect Mart"
Anyone purchase from this company?
Would love to know if this is a legit company.
Seems like you have to have a cell phone for part of the confirmation process.

I just was told something to the effect that POI's and the distance you manually enter in POI Loader, are not based on a radius. Instead, they will only work by distance if you are on the exact road the POI happens to reside.

This has been flawless for the last year but now its loosing reception with the sateliites.. I can only connect to 2 or 3..I have the lastest updates and did a master reset...no help. Any ideas,,is this worth fixing or should I get another unit..which one?
Thanks,Tom

Can you download a trip that I am planning on goggle maps from my computer to my 205W.

If I am driving a Route and I want to know of eating places where I am. Do I have to go back to the Menu and start at the Where To, an than the POIs, or is there another way to get to the POIs without going back to the Main Menu.

Yes I’m a newbie so I am just learning.

My nuvi 780 recently got the dreaded freeze on "Loading Maps..."; doing soft and hard resets as well as making sure everything was up to date on it didn't solve the problem.

I know this has been beat to death, but I created a csv with my home coordinates and description of MiCasa.

(Also posted in Creating POI files section.)

Have an mp3 named MiCasa.mp3
CSV is named MiCasa.csv

Is there a way to make a setting or something on my Garmin to give me a warning when I go over a certain speed limit (kind of like the warning that goes off before you come upon a red-light camera/speeding camera)? I know that the Garmin can't tell you what the speed limit is on the street you're on.

I started up the old Garmin, hit the favorites button and all of my favorites had disappeared. All that was showing were the 3 Garmin offices. Wouldn't have been too upsetting except, that I had to go someplace that I had only been to once and didn't have the address. Luckily, I was able to find my delivery location.

Is there any way of fooling your 265wt into accepting routes you've created in Mapsource, Mapquest, or Google Earth? Can I put routes on an SD card and then access them in my GPS? For instance....On a long trip, day one point "A" to point "B", day two point "B" to point "C", and lastly day three Point "C" to point "E" through point "D".

between map updates, say like north america 2009.10, 2009.20, etc is there anywhere we can find what areas are updated or the changes between maps? put another way, is there a way we can find it's worth the effort to upgrade?

thanks!

Garmin Nuvi 255w

I saw a thread somewhere about how/why map symbols will show up as you drive. I can have my custom poi's show as I hit them but not any others. I have seen a nuvi before show a little bank symbol as you drive by a bank but its is not a custom poi. I have tried switching to 2D i have tried zooming in/out all to no avail. Anyone have any experience with this?

mucho thankso

I have loaded the RLC alerts on all of our Gps units.

But my wife HATES the annoying "Bong-Bong" and complains every time it goes off. ( Ya... I know.... she'll complain if she gets a ticket too.)

Is there a way to turn off the alerts and not have to delete them? Or at least turn off the volume of the alert only and leave the directions voice alone ?

Thanks

Does anyone here use Garmin Mobile XT for Symbian S60 particularly with Nokia 5800 Xpress Music (or any other S60 5th edition phone)? Does it freeze a lot?

Here's a list of problems with GMXT ver. 5.00.50 for Symbian S60:
- Incorrect horizontal view (map gets split 75%, 25%)
