Garmin talk

just purchased from costco , it picked up traffic info out of the box and i then gave it to my wife for birthday and now no traffic info. it came with the free
lifetime traffic , any one else had this happen.

Greetings,

I am new to this site, and am impressed with the wealth of knowledge and info about GPS. Hopefully somebody can help me solve this.

I have finally updated the map on my 760 to 210.10.

When I bought the 760, I was given a cd with Mapsource 2008 on it. As a matter of fact, I had it on my computer for a long time, until the pc crashed. I have not re-install it since.

I am totally new to the GPS world and to Garmin. I just purchased a Nuvii 265WT. I was driving from New York City to South Jersey. I was on the Garden State Parkway. From exit # 88 south to Exit 82 I was in total traffic, but yet I had the Green Icons for the Traffic advisory. What's the story with this?? Its a good thing this service is free. If I had to pay for this, I wouldn't be too happy!!!

Was looking at MSN, and was wondering if it was worth the cost?

My sister has the Nuvi 200W, just bought it a few weeks ago, downloaded new software and lost sound, any suggestions or similar experiences?

I have a nuvi 255W with the 2009 .1 maps installed. With my old 260 when I came back to my home in MA from CT. it was the correct route, all highway right to my front door. With the 255 it takes me off the Mass. Turnpike to local roads and then through 3 different cities to my house. I have no avoidances set and I use the fastest route.

As the title says. I'm having a heck of a time with getting the nuvi to accept incomming calls. If I use the cell phone to accept the calls the audio is fine on the nuvi. The problem is that I do get the incomming call prompt onscreen but when I push the button it will not accept the call. Any suggestions?

Downloading from POI Factory and saving them to a folder and when i use Garmin loader, I cant fine file to install?? The files are saved in microsoft csv format and can open with microsoft excell only??
What am i doing wrong that i cant find file to install in my own directory
thanks, steve

Is it possible on any of the Garmins to default the State and the city at the same time?

How do you people use Screen Shot? What is the purpose?

costco has this on sale for 229.00 with a 20.00 discount, I presently have a streetpilot c580, but the free year of traffic information has expired. I really like the streetpilot, but hate to spend another 129.00 for a years traffic. does anyone know how the 265wt is and how does the traffic input coneect to the unit. my streetpilot does with the cord for the lighter.

I'm planning a trip to Sedona, Jerome, Prescott and Wickenburg the middle of July. I just discovered that you can load any waypoints from Google Maps into my Nuvi350 and then you can upload those waypoints onto Google Earth. What a time saver and easy way to map out the trip.
I also use MapSource to map out the waypoints by transferring them from my Nuvi 350 onto MapSource

Hello,
I just bought a Nuvi 765T. This is my first GPS. I would like the unit to be able to let me know when a red light camera is coming up. I bought the unit on 6-18-09. The maps are updated as of 6-19-09. I installed the Garmin POI loader app (PC). After maps were updated I installed Speed-Cameras.csv (June 17) and Redlight-Cameras.csv (June 17).

We are looking for navigable maps of Cyprus for my Garmin nuvi 760.

Does anyone know where I can located a set?

Thanks

Warm greetings to everyone!

Most TTS voice has update version available this week. Have you seen any improvement?

As for the MAP, some has report that version 2010.2 is available, but I'Ve never found it for my 755t unit?

I'm sure I'm just a newbie at this, but after moving over 70 files to the unit, I cannot figure out why the custom POIs are not showing.

I appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Thanks.
