Garmin talk

Has anybody had a problem
With the battery in a 755t.
My new one which I just received
On warrenty only lasts 30 minutes.
I talked to Garmin support and it
Looks like we are beta testers again.
It is a software issue.
They are working on getting it fixed.

Hi all,

Where is the data for the stock POIs stored in the Nuvi, and is there an update? They have restaurants, etc. listed and I noticed that a pizza place they have in there has since changed names a couple of times since the one they list, and we're talking at least 3 or 4 years ago.

Is that data stored in the 006D135900 file? If not, where is it coming from, the basemap?

Thanks,

I am looking to get a hand held GPS ,it needs to be colour,detailed and easy to use.

Just had a quick question...I pre-ordered my Nokia N900 from amazon for $582.99, and since it is a Linux based OS, the GMXT will not work on it since GMXT only supports WM/Symbian OS. So my question was, how can I contact garmin, and plead to them to support GMXT with MAEMO OS?

thanks for the advise,

Avoiding roads by name and areas.

I have a 855 and just discovered a nice feature with the 805 series Nuvi's. (It turns out to be in the 800 series also.)

I only find reference to this feature in the downloaded 805 series manual.

When I use my 265WT and I'm driving along the Allen XPY In Toronto. I notice on my map that thier is an orange ring on the landscape. I've seen it other places, what is it? what does it want? Anyone know?

Can someone please point to a site with instructions as how to use Extra POI editor to create Tourguides?

i've been talking to garmin to figure this out. i'm trying to install fodor on a friend's garmin. it's in the POI folder (recommended by garmin themselves). they don't want the card installed since they have other stuff on it. it's in that folder where it should be, but unit can't see it. any ideas how this could work? it's a nuvi 855. thanks

i don't know if this is the right place to ask this or not. but while i did look, is there or will there be a Buffet poi list? i have some, but i'd like to get more, mostly the chinese type. also is there a way to list buffet in the main garmin sorting screen? thanks

I've just updated my 775T's SW to 3.8 from the myGarmin site.

My current SW versions are:
GPS-2.9
DSP-2.4
Text-3.8 (American English)
Voice-(American English, Jill)

Hope this helps for a comparison. BTW, the touch screen seems to be more accurate now. Bonus!

Well this morning I officially ended my 40 year affair with film cameras. My last big purchase, a Nikon F4, will be posted on eBay or Craig's List in the near future. They say the lenses I have for it will work with the digital camera I ordered so at least it is not a total loss. For those that are interested I bought a Nikon D90 with a 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens.

I have a new Garmin NUVI 1360 and have installed the GPS Loader for Windows and downloaded several POI's and their respective icons-naming the icons the same as the POI file name. However, I can't see the icons on the GPS when going to the location just the checkered flag of the destination. What have I overlooked?

thanks in advance....

I have quite a lot of POIs saved up on my SD card. The problem is that I don't wish to go through the hassle of reloading them all again.

Is there a way or an app out there that can just add POI to my collection on my Nuvi without having it be saved as a waypoint?

Thanks

I am still using Garmin Mobile XT on my Pharos GPS Phone 600. I occasionally even use it as a phone when I put in my T-Mobile pre-paid SIM card. Typically I use it as a small GPS with wifi built in. Anyway, for those of you that have Windows Mobile devices, what are your favorite freeware or shareware applications? I am not looking to replace Garmin Mobile XT, but rather to supplement it.

Hello,

My first post on your forum!

I purchased two Garmin Nuvi 260's locally - both had a broken USB connector on the PCB.

I was able to resolder one to the board and it works as expected. The other one will require a replacement USB connector.

I just received my new Oregon 300, I will use it for the fist time this week end.
Did any body tried it yet and what is your experience whit it?

My sister just recently purchase a Nuvi 855 and she likes most of the features on it, but the voice on the unit seems off, it sounds like its under water, except for the British guy, is that normal?

Changes made from version 2.8.1 to 2.8.2:

* Added compatibility with 64-bit Safari 4.0 on Snow Leopard. (This is not a required update for users on Windows operating systems.)

Windows version:

I can not get my Toshiba satellite to down load CSV files. I tried loading addtional software as recommended to no avail. I was trying to down load the rest stops.

Any suggestions??

Is there any way to reach FM 87.9?

The lowest seems to be 88.1.

Thanks.
