Does anyone know of a cheaper price than $94.07 from Amazon.com?

As was leaked over the web a few weeks ago (see http://tinyurl.com/pwlb9y), Garmin has applied for FCC approval of a new Nuvi, the 1690T. The FCC how has a copy of the proposed Quick Start Guide available.

Anyone interested in what the new Nuvi will look like can see the guide at http://tinyurl.com/pwlb9y

Did a long trip last week and had loaded several POIs onto my nuvi 760. I had loaded the files in subcategories.

The problem that I encountered was when arrowing down through a list of custom POIs, the mileage to the POIs changed, but the description of the location did not change.

Looking for a SD card for my Garmin 1350....what size could anyone recommend & brand....Please

The day after buying my 265WT from a local Costco for $219, they send me my usual email offers for Costo.com and it shows that they have the 765T on sale for $279, delivered. Is it worth the extra $60?

So far the 265 WT works well for me, but what is it I don't have that the 765T does, and is that worth 60 more, I wonder....

I have tried several times to load a .csv file using POI loader and it has given me the error message above.

I broke the file apart and was able to load it seperately but I would like to have 1 file for it. Any Suggestions or help would be great. It is a big puzzle for me because I created the file several times the same way I have other csv files and still get this message. Please help.

Sorry if this has been posted before, I didn't see it if it was. I just bought a 205 and want to add some POI's. As I said above I used the POI Loader but it only loaded the .csv files and not the .gpx files. When I have my folder loaded with the .gpx files only and want to load them, Loader tells me there are no files in that directory. Why doesn't it see the .gpx files? Thanks in advance.

So far this thing seems to work pretty well...
I'll be driving around ny... bklyn, queens, long island...
I'm an RN dealing with the mentally ill...
And I really want to avoid the red light cameras, so I'm hoping that I am able to download an up-to-date POI file to the NUVI soon, so I can stay out of trouble.

Still having problems downloading more than 1 file.It was suggested in a previous post that I send the files together in a group.I did this to my download section,highlighted them all and sent them to my numi.When I go to my extas icon its headed with "custom pois".when I open it it still has my original file and not the new ones.When I attempt to send the files again I get a menu stating the file

I updated my Garmin 765T last nite to Software
version 3.60
GPS 2.90
DSP 2.40
Text 3.60 (American English)
Voice 2.30 (American English-Jill)

I removed my SD card for the update and I only keep music and POI's on the card, not the GPS. All went well. I left this am for a short trip and then came home. Poi Alerts all worked fine.

How would I back up my 885T to my Computer ?

Has anybody compared the Garmin 885t with 1490T.

I finally decided to get 885T until read gpsmagazine.com review which is very positive (as things going I will keep using my C580 and never upgrade).

I know that there are some bugs with unit.
There are always more real world value from user's experience than a single review.

Thanks for your input.

I am new to GPS units (and to figuing out how to use this site, which I stumbled upon), and with all of the features, functionalities and flaws I have been reading about, cannot figure out how to choose the best Garmin unit now. I am leaning between the 765T and the 855. Can anyone help me?

I've checked the POI Loader FAQ and Garmin FAQ and didn't see anything specific to this question.....

Trying to determine what the maximum limit of POI's that can be installed in a NUVI 660.

I'm aware of the 32 files per folder limit..

Is there a limit in size that all the POI's can take up?
Is there a way of determining remaing space?

Thanks Much.. Jan

Hello to all with newer NUVI's with Lane Assist.

I live just south of Louisville and don't seem to have Lane Assist in Louisville. I also checked for Lane Assist in Albuquerque (none there) and in Los Angeles (have it there.
I am assuming it will be added to more cities as the Map Updates keep coming out.

So....
Louisville Ky - NO
Albuquerque NM - No
Los Angeles Ca - Yes

Since the last firmware update applied to my 755t early in the week, "MyDashboard" can no longer find the unit. The registration information and maps loaded are correct, and the stand-alone updater still works. Wonder if they're disabled it since there were so many problems/complaints?

I've been tweaking my device in the last couple of days and have been searching for this question: How can I edit my current speed/red light poi's so they only alert me when I am traveling in the camera direction? IE: Most speed/red light cameras are only installed in either West bound or East bound directions.

The other day while playing with the POIs on my new 765T I noticed that the local Home Depot that has been here several years was missing. It is listed in the Home Depot POI file maintained here. I guess my question is, why would I want to load all of the locations again for the one or two that might be missing.

I recently purchased lifetime updates. When I went to update my 770 with the North American 2010.20 maps everything seems to be working fine until I get to the screen in the install that says 'Please select the region you would like to install on your Garmin GPS'. The drop down is blank and I can't choose the Install button because it is greyed out. Any ideas?

I am trying to transfer my New Map Update to my nuvi780 and I get an error message from Mapsource that there is not enough room on the GPS to send the maps.

I thought they just automatically overwrite the old maps to install the new.

Apparently I was wrong or something has changed.

So.... in order to send the update to my GPS what exactly should I delete from the GPS to make room ?
