Garmin talk

I have read the posts and it seems like (??) the firmware updates have resolved the 885T issues. Is this indeed correct? I hate to blow $400 if they are still a problem...

Purchased the new Nuvi 1350 through Stop & Shop Digital, good price $230.....bad news. They e-Mailed me back, 12 week wait....So buyers beware.

I just updated my C340 to the new 2010 Maps a few days ago, and I'm a little concerned. I've been playing around with it in my local travels (within about a 100 mile radius) over the last few days, and I'm getting errors that I never had with my 07,08, or 09 maps......such as it telling me that the approaching turn will be a Right turn, when it will actually be a Left!

Get them from your myGarmin account

I have a StreetPilot C330 and I've been away for a long time. I'm about to buy a 265wt Nuvi for my wife's b-day...got me back interested in the custom POI's. When I save the file, sometimes they're in a zipped folder...should I unzip the files before I run the POI loader? At one point, I had subfolders to choose from under "Custom POI's", but now they are all just mixed together.

I cant find a zoom scale on my Nuvi 885T? I have no idea how many feet I'm zoomed in or out!

What am I missing here?

Sincerely,
Kevin M.

hi there i bought my 1350 garmin gps cool stuff but got a problem about my speed limit indicator doesnt show and change lane indicator doesnt show too, im here in toronto,canada really appreciate your help thanks!

I would like to update my "rest area" file,and add a new mp3 sound. I downloaded the combined rest area and mp3 sound file.
When I go to install it in my Garmin do I have to delete the old file first? Should I give the new file the same name so that it will overwright the old one?
Thanks for your help.

On a Nuvi 760. Any good way of doing this without hitting "stop" (which cancels the entire route) or going deep into the routes menu and deleting it there?

If I simply go past a turn will it just assume I want to keep going on my route or will it try to give me new directions until I get to the via point?

Could some one advise the proper procedure for making corrections or additions to an exsisting POI file. I justed loaded the KwikTrip File and have an additon.

I am perplexed as my map source wont load as it says i need a map source product ,I had map source working a month ago now it doesn't work ,any ideas.

I am using the nuvi lifetime maps on my c530. With the 2009 maps, I was able to load most states on the c530, and the few remaining states + Alaska and Canada on a memory card. With the new version 2010.10, the options for loading from the .exe are East, or West, or Upper, etc. I can choose to load remaining states onto the external memory card through mapinstall.

Just got it
Worked great, until I regestered and up dated it
Now it's slow to find satellite

I'm a owner of Street Pilot 580C which has two built in speakers, the announcer's voices are loud. I am considering to get Garmin 885T.

Has any one compared the voice level of 885T with 580C?

How would I load red light bmp Icon files for POIs onto my GPS?

And where do i rename it on my gps unit?

Please advise..

Thanks

Has anyone tried to use the rear external antenna on the their Nuvi? My Nuvi takes several minutes to acquire Sat signal and I was wondering if using an external antenna would help. Did you buy one from Garmin?

I have a Nuvi 855, and wonder about one Navigation Avoidance choice, the one concerning Car Pool Lanes.

I have my Nuvi set to "NOT Avoid" Car Pool Lanes, but don't know what that choice really is achieving. I use carpool lanes whenever possible, but have NEVER received any spoken instruction or reference regarding those lanes.
