Garmin talk

This the zumo 660's recent firmware update changelog but note the MSN Direct v3 support as well as the ability to view cities on the main map screen (this was removed on the nuvi xx5 series)...maybe it will make a comeback on the nuvi series as well...maybe.

*zumo 660* firmware v3.30

Changes made from version 3.20 to 3.30:

I don't know if I am doing this right, but as I drive around, I am not seeing my custom POI's that I installed. (The alerts that show you are close to one) Do you have to enable something or ? I have a Nuvi 765T. As you can tell I am a new user, the red light camera alerts work, didn't know we had so many in our small town

Hi,

Is there a way to access history that has been deleted on the Nuvi. Any software that might me able to look at a log file or something?

Not really sure how these work if it is like a hard drive on a pc and you can still recover files even if they have been deleted and have not been written over.

is there someway to do this on the nuvi - find deleted history?

tks!

Out of the box the feel of the unit itself was different. It's rubberized matte black compared to the grainy plastic of the 265. The outer frame is shiny black plastic.

I have recently found that Google Maps has the ability to download address straight from Google maps to my Nuvi 265wt. I like this feature but if edit a route from point A to point B, Google Maps loses the ability to send it to your GPS at that point. Has anyone found an user friendly way of tricking out Google Maps?

Good News!!!

The old problem of booting up a NUVI 8x5 in the Navigation Mode while using a non-Garmin USB Power supply, such as a Motorola cell phone usb supply, has been solved...............(workaround)

JUST POWER THE NUVI UP WITH AN NON-GARMIN WALL POWER SUPPLY AND WAIT LESS THAN 1.2 MINUTES.......

Is this true?
you have to have a school zone to be activated you need to specify a sound for it only if you want to be notifyed when you are in that zone. It is optional with Garmin and only supported on models 7xx and above.

Hello I own a Garmin 760. All and all a fine GPS (my first). My wife now owns a Garmin 250 (I think). One of our few complaints occurs when entering an address.

We don't always know the city.

I have noticed that my Nuvi 765T becomes slow in refreshing screens and re-calculating new routes when I am playing MP3s and using MF transmitter on it. If I am not playing MP3 etc. then I have noticed that it is very fast in screen refreshes etc.

Has anyone else notice smilialr behaviour?
I will appreciate your feedback.

My first Nuvi 760 was replaced with a refurbished unit because it wouldn't hold a charge for more than 15 mins. I've had the refurb for 4 months and it's had problems on two road trips. Now I can't go anywhere without it crashing all the time (screen locks up, unit goes dead to any input).

I went on a business trip last week. Since I was only going to Minneapolis for one day, I took my Nuvi without the cord. It was fully charged when I got to the airport before I left. I used it to get t0 my hotel and my meeting the next day. On my way back to the airport to come home, it turned off due to a low battery.

I have a Nuvi 760, I would like to know how I would upload a Metro Area project (New York). Do all the different folder headings go into one folder? Can someone give me the procedure or reference where I can find the information. Thank You.

Used my wife's Garmin 260W to find a location on the edge of the next county. The streets were in the 200's (203rd Street)in that location. The GPS kept announcing street numbers without the "2"; just "hundred third street". Anyone else aware of this?

Having a horrible time getting this to work. It appears it is downloaded to my computer, but will not allow me to use it. I have followed all FAQ and still have a problem. Could it be my computer? Thanks

I have 2 garmin gps units in 2 seperate cars, 1 is only 3 months old the other is about 1 year old. if i purchase a new map update can i install it on both of these units or do i need to buy 1 for each?

Hi all,

I have the Nuvi 265wt with the latest firmware update version 5.3. I got a question about the Picture Viewer Slide Show.

POI Loader for Mac crashes every time I start it on my Mac. When I have my 660 it never happened. Anhy ideas on how to get my Custom POI files onto my Nuvi 885T?

I have a nuvi 205, updated the firmware just last month, but there has been this one category in the tools section called extra's and it seems to be empty?

What is supposed to be there, can I put something in there?

Not sure the Garmin 265WT does.. LOL.
A couple of times that I tried it when finding alternate ways of getting to a destination I knew the whereabouts of, it told me my destination would be up ahead on the left when it was clearly on the right. Did it the other way too a time or two.
