Garmin talk

I have a nuvi 855. I have found the male voice to be slightly louder and clearer to understand. I tried both the default female voice as well as the male voice, both turned all the way up and like the male voice better.
Don't know if your menu is the same or not, but this is how to do it on a nuvi 855. Main menu, tools, settings, language, (touch) VOICE PERSONALITY and pick "Jack".

New user, not sure if this has been discussed here on this site.

Is it possible to make your own TTS voice library? Has anyone done this besides Garmin?

thanks.

Is it possible to charge my c 530 thru the usb mini port still navagate while charging?

Hi

I have a Nuvi 750. The color of the drop down signs notifies me of my poi's is gray.

Often wind noise etc may make it difficult to hear the sound signal. It would be better if the drop down sign could be a brighter color (red,orange etc.)that would be noticed more easily as you drive.

Anyone know how to change the color on the Nuvi 750???

Hi, I want to apologize in advance if this is a really stupid question.
I have looked at all the POIs and think they are great, and have downloaded a lot of them.
But I was wondering if there was just a way to download an entire yellow pages of information onto your system for maybe one or two cities.

How do I install the files for red light camera's and speed cameras I feel real stupid.

As has been the case for quite a long time (beginning with the 7x0 series), there has been a bug where WebUpdater constantly displays voices that have already been updated. I did some experimenting and found that this bug *seems* to be triggered when the nuvi is plugged into the USB port while powered off (previously my normal procedure), then running WebUpdater.

Thank you in advance.

I downloaded csv POIs and put them in a folder on my Mac. I have the Garmin Nuvi 255W hooked up to the computer and have installed the POI loader.

But when I point the software to the files to download them to the unit, they are all greyed out.

I don't have MS Excel installed, but that shouldn't make a difference (right?).

Any one having problems logging into there's?

I just downloaded the Diners,Drive-ins & Dives CSV file. However the location addresses, which are in the file, are not showing up in my Garmin 265W. The strange thing is the GPX file works fine, shows the addresses. Any ideas?

How many use there Nuvi for walking around with to find a location or your current location? If you use it in this manner, how do you carry it or hold it while doing that? Do you attach something to it to hold it? Do you put it in something to protect it?

I would like to use it in that way, but I am afraid I would drop it and break it. Interested in others experiences.

thanks,

Hi,

I have a Nuvi 750. Garmin does not provide Mapsource free to it's customers.

Are there any available FREE map programs that will
accomplish the same tasks as Mapsource?????

I know that's a silly question....

I know this comes up often but hey it's a new day.. anybody see any good deals on Garmins recently?

Thanks Flip

has anyone installed this software, that sits in the task bar?!

I had problem with Nuvi 750 not displaying album art on MP3 player. I solved it by using WMP to obtain album art and then copying album art and pasting it on each album. For unknown reason Nuvi did not recognize album art that automatically displayed when CD was ripped. Kind of a pain , but works.

Is POI information stored on my SD Card. Can I add more memory by increasing the size of my SD Card?

This is all new to me. Any and all help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Am wanting to leave my 760 Behind, but can get the information on one thing about the new models...will they indeed have an AuX out, so I can run it through my car stero...FM transmitter isn't important if I have the Jack..and will these new models have a music player on it like the 760 does...I am assuming that this features will follow through with these new models, but don't want to take the pl

Hi... newbie here. I recently bought a nuvo 205 for a long driving trip I'm taking this summer. Found this site and love the POIs! However, I'm having a problem...
