Garmin talk

Anybody try this version for stability yet?
Just wondering before I update, since there were many issues with past versions.
Also wondering if the long boot ups were fixed, which seemed to be related to large trip log file.
If you regularly cleared the trip log, unit would boot in a reasonably amount of time.

Hello everyone, i have been lurking in the shadows learning a lot about my new Nuvi 255.

I have two questions. First of all is it possible replace the roads on one map with those of another.

for example I would like to replace the roads on my topo maps with the ones from city navigator.

Changes made from version 4.70 to 4.80:

* Corrected issue with TTS voice stuttering.
* Corrections to Language Guide.
* Correction to MAD Maps routing.
* Improvements to phone number/contact display.

Changes made from version 4.60 to 4.70:

* Added power off for FM transmitter after 5 seconds of non-use.

so i added gig harbor and covington to the april update of the csv costco file, if someone wants me to upload it... i can... the WI Middleton was also missing

there's a bunch missing actually

How accurate is the nuvi when showing miles per hour below 5?

I see that the nuvi shows miles per hour with one decimal point when the miles per hour is below 10. My father does agriculture work and it would be nice know in some cases how fast the tractor is moving down the tenth digit (i.e. 3.1 miles per hour vs. 3.7 miles per hour).

Amazon has the nuvi 200 with Mexico maps on sale for $139.99.

Expires May 25.

It may be worth it if you need Mexico maps as the maps alone sell for around $100.

This morning when I hooked up my GPS before heading off to work (I always listen to audio books during the drive) I received a warning I've never seen before. The entire screen displayed a warning that my maps are over a year old and should be updated. I was quite surprised.

Need help. please. I have nuvi 755T I donwloaded the school zones in manual mode (1320 ft). Turned on proximity points. So I typed a address and test drive it pass by the school and it didnt give me warning. Why is that? do I have to set up or missed something?

I see ads and references to companies, such as AutoNavDirect offering Garmin Lifetime maps. These seem to be at a better price than getting them direct from Garmin.

Has anyone had experience getting lifetime updates, in this manner? Do you go to the Garmin site after to get the updates?

I have a NUVI 350, not that should make a difference.

I have used a Tomtom addin for my Palm phone for years and it would "warn" me whenever I was within a specific distance of a designated POI type. I recently upgraded to a Garmin 760 an am trying to get it to do the same. I have set up several custom POIs and manually loaded them onto the Garmin along with a proxmity alert distance.

so i edited the POI file from Or/Wa since it only contains the data for the vancouver areas.. and is kinda out of date to include to seattle area including kent, bellevue, tacoma... yada... if anyone wants me to upload it i can... i have to work out a little bit of kinks... (difference between yahoo and google coordinates)

I have a garmin nuvi (285W) and once you zoom in to were everything is really close on the map it start showing the POI and there icons. I wanted to know if there was a way to show all the POI when viewing the map from further away? Also is there a way to see the POI when you are driving in the “3D” mode?

I want one of these, any one have some comments on the new sereis that hits the shelfs in June?

A lot of you here know that I have been very happy with my Nuvi 660 since I got it a little over a year ago and joined the POI Factory. Until today, that is.

This is the first long road trip I've taken in quite some time. I drove from Tampa to the hotel room I'm sitting in now, in Manchester, TN. Tomorrow I continue on to Indiana, my destination.

I am still using Internet explorer7. I have not heard any bad news on the new Internet explorer8. Is it working good for those of you who installed it?

Just had my 660 lock up for no reason. I set a destination to my home from where I am now, but it wouldn't aquire the satilites. Took it outside, nothng on the screen or the power button would work. I even hooked it up to AC power nothng. Hit the reset button on the back and it shut of and is now working like always. Ii even plotted the route to the house from where we are at now.

Has anyone experiencing issues downloading maps or updates using Mozilla Firefox?

I know there must be a simple fix for this.

I been switching back to Internet Explorer to download which will work but would rather us Firefox.

Thank's
Kevin M.

I notice my zumo550 leaves a trace where I have been. Lots of little trails around home for example. Can you get ride of those to have a clean map ?

I just bought a Nuvi 360 and I've got it wired in the car (so audio would play through the car speakers and the unit runs off of the car battery). Today I picked up the last component I would need. It's a step down jack adaptor. To go from 3.5mm to the 2.5mm.

Hi,
Someone mentioned to me that they had very poor GPS reception in Yosemite - My thoughts are that it may be due to older unit.
Anyone have any recent experience there with Garmin? Any poi files that one can recom. Going there from SF soon.
