Garmin talk

Can someone post an easy procedure for getting traffic light cameras etc on your nuvi? A help link next to the download button would also help.

I keep only getting two cameras, and I get a box telling me that the files are corrupt.

Hopefully you can see the problem that I, and many new users, are having.

Hi All,

I was looking through the debug screens on my 760 and noticed that the Audio Output Test Page has an FM Property Value set at 19kHz and has Up and Down buttons under it that can change this value.

So, a question to all the Nuvi Gurus out there...

If we change this value, would it help boost the power of the FM transmitter to give us a better signal in cluttered FM areas?

I just found out that the garmin's don't have Bass Pro Shops as a POI. I found this site that gave me details on how to upload new POI's to my garmin. I followed all the instructions, I saved the Bass Pro POI file to my desktop, then went to Garmin and install the POI loader software, I followed all the directions and it gave me the message that 56 new POI's had been installed to my GPS.

Ok, there's probably an answer to this question somehwere on the garmin site or here, but I havent found it yet.

I suspect i know what the source of the problem is, but i;'ll get to that after the explanation of the problem.

Problem:

Change History
Changes made from version 4.50 to 4.60:
Correct problem where units entered a loop of Updating GPS firmware.

Info here:

I have installed it on my 885T and upgrade went well and everything is normal so far with no problems.

...or should I say "having additional fees added to them."

I didn't see this mentioned elsewhere in the forums here, so forgive me if this is a repeat.

Thus spake XM/Sirius:

sooooo. Weird question .. thought i'd ask anyway :::::

Does anyone know how to locate the Garmin Logo files on the Nav? I have it plugged in the USB thinking I could find them ....

The idea . .. . I'm a graphic designer (we all are) . . looking to take the garmin logo .. and swap it with my own little start-up image ... thought it would be cool to manipulate it PERSONALLY.

I'm laughing about it, because I normally read instructions .. but this time i got cocky.

Anyway, I've downloaded and Uploaded about 5 POI's .. with pics and souns .. but did not change the pics and sounds name to match.

Is there a way to delete these, or will it automatically overwrite the POI files that were uploaded?

Any help is great.

Thanks

OK, I have a couple of hundred bucks in gift cards and rewards at BestBuy. I'm willing to kick in another hundred or so towards a new Garmin. I want to give my SP340c to my wife to keep in her car, and I want to get a new GPSr. I would like some of the bells and whistles, but not all. I would like TTS, turn by turn, "where am I?', lane assist and that kind of stuff.

Good morning.

Do you think prices of older models will drop as new ones are released?

I'm currently looking at Nuvi 755T on Amazon. I'd have bought it when it was $294, but I missed it thinking it might go down further on Father's Day.

Any thoughts?

Supposedly they are a step up from the Oregon line.

I have the nuvi 350, and one problem I have is that it always navigates me towards the 407 as opposed to the 401. The 407 is a toll highway here in Ontario, Canada.

Is there anyway to ensure the nuvi will always navigate me to the 401 and not the 407?

I just got my Nuvi 265 WT last night, to replace my street pilot 2610. I miss see the time while in map mode and seeing the time to next turn in routing mode.

Anyone else have one of these?

I picked one up about a week ago. So far, I like it a lot. More expensive models do more, but for my 1st GPS that I just use occasionally - its pretty nice.

I've always been a "map on the side of the road" kinda guy - so it's nice to actually have one of these.

After the Garmin 3.40 Crash event with all of the 7x5 series problems, I am not sure if anyone is interested, but...

When my Nuvi first crashed and before I read about the 5 second battery fix, I purchased a new 755t and had it overnighted because I am going on vacation on Monday and it would drive me nuts not to have it.

I bought my replacement Nuvi here:

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but I get really annoyed when it tells me to go a way I know will take to long or be bogged in traffic.

Perhaps you can offer what is the lowest end model that does support the route avoidance?

Anybody using a Nuvi 855 on the trail?
How do you handle the short battery life?
Does anyone have topo maps loaded with routes?
How did you do it -from NG TOPO or Garmin software or?

First post here. I found this forum earlier today, had fun installing POI Loader and the plug-in to allow Google maps to install coordinates directly into Favorites. Great resource.

I use my GPS primarily for motorcycle touring. I can't afford the bike-specific models, and the Nuvi works fine, as it is pretty well protected by the windshield.

Does anyone know of a POI web site that can give me JUST Union New Jersey POIs? I do not need to load my 265 with stuff I will never need. I am a taxi driver and my Nuvi is GREAT!!! Thanks!
