Garmin talk

Just thought I would share a small item that may confuse someone as it did me this morning with my 770. I had the navigation set to the internal speaker and muted.

I switched over to broadcast on a FM frequency. I thought everything was fine because my music was playing.

First, let me say hi to all as I'm new here and find this site amazing. Also thanks to the staff (John) for getting my password straightened out.

Read many threads on installing the NuMaps Lifetime Update. It was very helpful. Thanks to everyone who contribute on this topic. It took me 4 hrs to d/l and 2 more to install onto my computer and Garmin. Now that I'm updated with 2010 version, will my next update be that long too? How would I know if an update is available?

I waited for about 40 minutes for a software specialist because i cant figure out the POI's...

they went into my computer but they told me its not possible to display icons from the POI FACTORY into my nuvi unit... ? ( besides the typical grey dot)

I dont believe this to be true but please help or correct me if im wrong.

thank you.

Thanks for all the great responses and ideas to my original post concerning my Nuvi 765T which all of the sudden would not get any power when connected into its 12v cradle in the car during a trip. However, the saga continues and I really need some ideas.

a Garmin 60 csx?

Amazon's current price. I don't know if this is a good price, but thought I would post it if someone is in the market for one.

Hello, I have a Garmin nuvi 265wt and added a 2GB SD card to store extra content. On the card, I created a JPEG folder and uploaded various pictures to attach to my favorite locations. I can attach them to the location but every time I turn off the unit the locations lose their pictures.

Recently, I made the switch from the Street Pilot to the Nuvi. I liked the Street Pilot but that model does not announce street names and, for me, that is needed.

what are they? did a search no luck??

#2..how do you load POI icons/sounds?

does anyone know of any sites with free good Topos of the USA.

thanks

I've downloaded these files and am curious if I have to do anything else. Will I automatically get a sound notification as I near one of these or do I have to set something on my Garmin? Thanks.

Good after folks,
As I just joined the group,I already have some questions that I like answers for

--As I already the the Fodor's NA Travel Guide--((010-10672-01)) installed on the Garmin 450 unit
1--By downloading the new POI's off this site,will it blend into the present download of the above program?

I've got an 780 now. Had it a week or so. Like it a lot, but miss some features of the old GPS.

So... I am going to get the 885T and give the 780 to my wife.

I see that some features are not on the 885T but don't really see me missing them. 3d Buildings ?? No ecoroute... Neither mean much to me.

I have added some POI's to my Garmin 255W. I am now wondering will any alerts that I have in the POI's work in map mode of the GPS or will they only work when I have a route programmed and running.

ok i wanted to plug my fiend's addresses to my 765t, iw as in my room, turned the switch.. saw the 'garmin' logo.. 4 seconds of my custom wallpaper.. and BLANK.

ive plugged it into my wall.. and even onto my usb on my computer.. why the hell isnt this thing turning on??

no nothing appears on the screen. no sound from my pc indicating a new device is plugged in.

Are there any hints or tricks or special things on a 250W?

I have downloaded the POI for Sam's Club/Wal-Mart super centers, but cannot call it up on the Garmin Nuvi 750. Where is it?!!!! It will show me Sam's Clubs that are 85 miles away. There are two near me - each about 10 miles away. Where do I find it on my Garmin? Please help!
