Garmin talk

HI, I have created a list of waypoints in Mapsource for our upcoming Route 66 trip. How do I load these so they show up on the map screen in my NUVI 750?
Thanks,

Rockville Adds Four Fixed-Camera Locations to Speed Program

ROCKVILLE, Md., June 2, 2009-Rockville City Police completed installation on June 1 of four new fixed-camera locations to its Speed Camera Program and will begin issuing tickets to violators of the posted speed on Friday, June 19.

I've used the 755t a couple of times now on trips between NYC and Boston and am impressed with the traffic status indication. Pretty much every route I've taken has been covered, Rt. 95, Hutchinson River Pkwy, Merritt Pkwy, Rt. 395, Rt. 295 all have been in the coverage zone. At most, the indicator has been yellow and matched what I was seeing.

I have a Garmin 765T. Starting about 2 weeks ago when I plug the GPS into my PC Autoplay keeps popping up. over and over again. Not just once like it used to. Any ideas of how to turn this off or why it was turned on to start with? TIA

I have nuvi 785T and nuvi 765T that tries to access my Sony Ericsson W810i cell phone.

When it access the phone it asks if OK to use as a modem?? and I accept and then it asks to access as a phone and I accept again.

It then tries to syncronize the contact list and that never stops until I eventually cancel the process.

Sometime in the near future I am planning on upgrading to the Nuvi 755t. Ideally, I would like to be able to plan routes on my computer and load them onto the Nuvi 755t. Is MapSource compatible with that model?

can i put voice alerts in my kenwood g510. i have tried doing this, i created a folder on my desktop and named it
garmin.
I see the way points, (the date base for red light cams and speed traps) in there, do I have to make another folder inside

When I'm on the highway my unit estimates the arrival time correctly, but when in the city the arrival time is typically 5 minutes before when I actually arrive. Is this a known issue?

Is there a list of state by state POI's that can be DL or just the compleat USA listings??

looking for MI POI's

thanks..

Thanks to everyone's help I am now downloading and using POIs. Now I'm trying to figure out how to use sounds.
Is there a link somewhere which provides the "how to" for sounds?

Couple of questions:

I have a 255W.

This last weekend my wife and I went up to Northern Wisconsin from Chicago for a long weekend get away. I was using our 6-month old Garmin 765T as the navigation device to get us up there, planning to spend some time in Milwaukee and then head North to do some sightseeing and fishing, then stopping in several small towns on the way back.

used the 550t from Garmin, if so what was your take on it

I was just wondering if turbo ccc has left us. His last post on this site seems to have been on 26 April 2009. I have noticed a few questions that were directed to him and have gone unanswered. Sure hope he hasn't left for good.

Just want to say hello.

Hello,

I am a GPS newb and i have tried reading the FAQ, but im still havign problems...

I downloaded some WIFI POI and even an icon and I THINK i got them into my gps how the getting started section suggested.

and it said 273 new POI loaded into GPS. I tried going now into my GPS but i cant seem to find where to click to see those Wifi places...

Can anyone help, I purchased a nuvi 885T today and so far its great. Just one thing I hate, there is a green background or overlay when viewing street maps. How do I turn off this feature?? It makes it very difficult to see street level info.

I have never noticed this before, but while planning a route across country with Mapsource, I realized there are no indicators as to where the time zones change. (unless I overlooked it) I looked in three NT2008, NT2009 and NT2009.1.

Why would somthing like this be missing from map data?

The SD memory card I have in my unit - 260W is a 2GB. I asked the store I bought it from if they had the 4 GB for my unit. They said the 260w could not use 4GB. The max it can take is 2GB. I thought I read here that the new updates will allow most of these units to use 4GB SD card. It seems I have it wrong. Any thoughts?

Does any one know if there is a way to read coordinates from my Nuvi 680. I see that i can enter coordinates of a location but is there a way i have it tell me what the cordinates are of the location that i am at. I assume this is how i could provide info on enforcement cameras.

Thanks
