Good morning,

Can someone please let me know if you can enter a destination using coordinates in a Street Pilot c550?

Thanks!

Regards,

I was using the tiny Tex hexer. After I made changes to jack voice, ie volume up. I checked my 550 under spanner, lips. the only choice it gives me is american English or english.

when I hook it up to the computer. it show all the voices are their.

I have noticed that in the description of the red light camera POI There is no mention of the state of Indiana. Is it possible that this state does not have any?

I ran across this site (rudegps.com) and wanted to know if any of you guys had bought voices from them and/or what ya'll thought about them. Lookin' to purchase a voice for my Nuvi 205.

Thanks for the help,

In the past I have created a number of different categories containing custom POI details, either added by downloading files from this site or by using the web based POI creators. However when I use the Garmin POILoader, it appears to add to the existing categories on the Nuvi, how do I remove them all and start again ?

Now on my second Garmin. Just purchased the 255w and live in a rural area where there is no opportunity to check the usefullness of the FM traffic feature. would love to hear from experienced users concerning reliability, availability, ease of use.

Trying to install v 2.53 and keep getting an Out of disk space error. The loader wants to default to drive F: which happens to be a cd drive. Cant believe the installer doesnt give an option to specify a destination. I really do not feel like reconfiguring my drive locations. Anyone else experience this issue?

I copied a POI file from my pc to a PNY 512MB card and inserted into my Garmin 265WT. When I turn the unit on, I cannot see where the file is. I checked in the extra section and can see nothing but my previously downloaded POI files. Any help would be appreciated. I am new to GPS units.

I just noticed that when driving on a State Highway I get in the green bar at top it tells me Im Driving on Highway S 141. But as soon as I turn on the Interstate (95) it just tells me the exits up ahead and never says the interstate im on. Is this normal ? It just doesn't seem right to me.

What does the redlight display look like on the nuvi 255W
I hear the alert and I see the BMP but I do not see anything else like flashing or change in display color.

Thank you

i have a garmin nuvi 205, and i downloaded some POI's , but they havent been updated on my unit, even though the POI loader says i have downloaded it. any help on why?

We have some cameras that are not on your Camera files. If I set them in my Garmin when I go by them how do I convert them to lon and lat settings so I can send them in.

Has anyone tried to modify a regular car power cord to receive the FM traffic signal? Seems like it should be fairly simple with only two pins on the usb plug to work with. Just a thought for a weekend project!

copied a low clearance file in gpx format from POI factory i believe -- using garmins POI loader program -- loaded the file on to (in to ??) the 765 -- and verified that the POI points were there -- repeated the same process pointing the POI loader to MapSource -- get a message that whatever number of points have been successfully transferred -- but i cannot find them in MapSource -- if i navigate

The new Nuvi 1690 looks good but why no "nulink" services north of the border?

HI,

total garmin newbie here- first post.

Thanks for making such a wonder resource of information avail! I can only hope to garner enought skill to contribute...but for now, just learning what i can do...or can't.....

I've been using the Garmin Topo 24K National Parks series. But they only cover National Parks. Are there any routable TOPOs out there? Or how about State Forests?

Thanks!

Just came back from a trip to Zionsville,IN, then to Richmond IN. then home. My Garmin 250W worked flawless. every time,it really is hard to fault how well it has worked.

My Garmin audio output occasionally changes from internal speaker to FM transmitter when I am shuting down - am I doing something to make this happen or is this a bug in the unit?
Thank you in advance.

I returned from a northern WI trip a couple weeks ago where I had a problem with my icon positioning. It seemed to travel just off the mapped highway for periods of time then the unit would say " satellite signal lost" or something similar and then would sort of reset itself. I have not seen this since returning home. Could this be unit or cable/ antenna positioning?
