Garmin talk

When I reset the unit, sometimes the unit resets itself to 80% volume and the mute enabled. In this condition, the audio version loads as "missing".

I re-loaded the SW 5.10 as well as "American English" that was available through webupdater, but it acutally rolled back audio version from 2.20 to 2.00

Does anyone know if the Sapp Bros. Truckstop download work? Because i see the description says that it may not be accurate, and I would like to know if it's worth uploading.
Thanks

May have found a problem with transferring favorites from gps to Mapsource if you have categories for favorites.I have the latest update but get error message to send report to Garmin when I try the transfer.Went to EasyGps and it would not transfer either.Not sure if it is the program update or the categories for favorites causing the problem.

Recently, I started having problems with my Garmin WebUpdater finding my device. The WebUpdater shows my F drive where I am plug into but does not find my Garmin unit number. I deleted the software and reinstalled it again. Same problem.

Windows Vista is my operating system. Any thoughts?

If anyone has this head unit, are you experiencing a problem with the Garmin software where the following message often occurs:

"GPS Firmware Updating"

and

"GPS Firmware Complete"

These messages appear randomly and often.

Is MSN Direct Traffic on the 885T FREE LIFETIME like the other traffic that I have on my 660.

How often does garmin update this? i assume it needs to be updated to be the same(match) as the GPS updates?

i mean so sence i updated my 350 to 2010.10 is MS @ 2010.10 also? and so on..

my ms ver is 6.15.6

Is the XM service the only traffic I can get for my 2730 or will one of the other recievers work?

Can anybody suggest where to purchase the Garmin 885T online ?

I donwload walmart locaticons into my computer and named it walmart then downloaded it into my Garmin using POI loader.

Then in my Garmin - selecting - Whereto? / Extras / Custom POIs - the list of walmarts do show up. Then I donwload rest areas and following the same procedures as above I find the Walmarts now don't show up in the Custom POIs but the rest areas do.

I am a newbie here. Got a new nuvi 360 about 8 months ago and updated map at that time. The first time that I noticed this problem was about 7 months ago, when driving from RTP to Fayetteville, NC, google map showed about 80 miles, but the nuvi 360 only had less than 50 miles and within one hr travel time.

Hi,

I have a Nuvi 350 that can no longer find satellites. It stopped about 10 days ago while I was travelling in Quebec city, then picked satellites a few days later and since then, nothing.

I have tried to leave outside fo a while so it can acquire proper signal and nothing. I have updated the software to version 6.0 and retried leaving it stationary but no luck.

this morning my Nuvi760 started to act up - the car icon was not attaching itself to the highway i was driving on ( it was between the highway & a parallel side road. Ofcousrse it generated many recalculating annoncements. I figured the computer didn't boot up correctly, so i shut the unit off and after a few minutes restarted it and all was well again.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 205. When we're out of town the POI search function is WONERFUL!

Now, I add "extra" POIs... How do I search the "extras"? Can I search ALL POIs (Standard and custom)?

Does anyone have exerience with this?

Thanks,
John.

Hello everyone. Is there any new map-updates coming out?

I have the Garmin 660 and I'm looking to a new model. What is the best one right now to get of the new Garmin models that just came out.

So I had one of those interminably long "loading maps" delays today with my 760. In frustration, I shut it off, waited a few seconds and turned it back on. Booted up very quickly but displayed "This accessory is not supported / OK" before going to the enter your PIN screen.

Wonder what it was talking about?

First a big thanks to everybody for the great information on this site.

I bought what I thought was a Nuvi 265wt, I looked at the Garmin site and am confused with the labeling of this device. Mine has 265W NO "T" found, Garmin shows that the 265 W is for Europe?? The WT's are for almost everywhere else.

How many of you have the 265 wt or the 265w? And what is the difference??
Mine was bought on sale at Amazon a couple months ago.

Hi everyone,

I have City Navigator North America NT 2010 and mapsource version 6.15.6 installed on my PC. From the mapsource program, is there anyway I can see the speed limit for certain roads, streets or highways?

It would be nice if I can able to see the speed limit from mapsource to plan my route.

Thank you
