Garmin talk

Does anyone know if i could use the Garmin Mileage
indicator on a Nuvi 885t? and where can i download it
from ..

Please advise..

Thank you.

Just an observation: I'm new to the Factory, but so far I've noticed a lot of people complaining about Garmin, price,service, & quality. However, they all have them, I'm sorry I don't understand, I'm on my second unit & I think they do a great job & the service that Garmin has given me is great....apparently I'm wrong...By the way, so is this site...Great

I want to use our family voices for the GPS announcements. I've done a cursory search on the web using obvious keywords, but I cannot find information specific on this particular pursuit.

I have a Garmin 255W and loaned it to my granddaughter recently to use on a trip from Peoria, IL to St Louis. She got along very well and found every destination programmed into the Garmin. Now she wants one.

I've been searching the web and forums for a couple days to find out what ALL the keywords words that the NUVI (I recently purchased a NUVI 255w) recognises and responds to in the .csv file naming convention. I've come up with several - TourGuide, redlight, speed. Are there more and is there a proper syntax to use these key words?

So I'm completely stumped and need your guy's help. I dont think I am doing this wrong but maybe I am. I have just loaded sites all over the US of bigfoot sightings and want to make it a TourGuide alert to alert me when I am within a 5 mile radius of the sighting location. So I save the files in my Bigfoot Sightings subfolder named as:

Bigfoot Auditory Reports TourGuide.csv

Does this work with POI Loader? Red light & speed camera files for an example.

I've looked through the FAQ's but I can't figure this out. Once I download POI files, how are they displayed on my Garmin? Do I find them by searching Points of Interest? Do they show up with an icon on my screen as I'm driving nearby? I've loaded a ton of files and it just feels like I'm pouring them down a black hole.

When downloading the redlight Camera list do I have to install the Beta version also. I am having trouble with my 885T with freezeing and it seems that its the redlight file doing this.

My 885T freezes up on me when im just viewing map while im driving and when i use the simulator on this one route i have in the same place everytime.

Can you subscribe to the MSN traffic with a gtm-20 ?

Hi

I wont to ask Where can i Download The Arabic Voice File.

Thanks

I am relatively new to a Nuvi205W but I have been Geocaching for years with a Magellan Explorist 500. At any rate I recently made my first driving trip with the nuvi. Before going I wanted to load rest area POI. Did some reading on this site on how to use POI loader and I jumped in to load the Illinois and Iowa CSV files for rest areas.

Got my 885T two days ago, updated to new firmware and everything. Rebooted itself in the middle of routing yesterday.

Prior to the 885T I had a 765T which had all sorts of problems including rebooting by itself.

Anybody else have restarting issues?

I have a c340, and I just updated the maps on the c340 and Mapsource on my pc to 2010.1.

No problem after I also updated the software for the c340, just a bit time-consuming.

Now I want to update my brother in law's c340.

He is not very compter competent. (after 6 years with a computer, he still can't remember how to send an email, although he can at least read his email.)

I have a question that I hope some of you can explain for me. I noticed tonight on my 755T, whenever you go to "Recently Found" or "Favorites", whenever you're on the page that lists all of the places, the mileage shown for each of those places is different from the mileage shown when you actually click on one of those addresses.

I have Nuvi 760 I want to attached alert sound and picture I follow the instruction like put same nae csv file and picture and sound but it does,t work even I put .csv on csv file and .bmp on picture file but nothing work.Is there any one know how it work.

I have 15-20 different POI files that I install on my Garmin. When I look under extras for the files, the groups are listed in a Random order. Is there a way to get them in alphabetical order?

Can i upload the POI files to a Garmin Streetpilot 7200, or is it only to Nuvi's?

I have been looking to purchase a GPS unit and in particular, the Garmin Nuvi 755T. Recently, I was able to borrow a 255T from a friend and really like the simplicity of the interface. However, one feature that I wished I had available on my trip was the ability to do multiple point planning, thus the desire for the 755T.
