Garmin talk

I download a vehicle inco (SUV) I thought I need a little bigger icon than the car.The download file's name is vehicle. No exyension name.I looked in the vehicle folder on my garmin and they all have an extension. How do you add a vehicle icon with the correct file extension to the vehicle folder?

.... supported by Nuvi's?? I have a Nuvi 760 & just got an LG Rumor. Having trouble trying to pair them.

Installed the latest MapSource, hooked up my Nuvi 750 to my laptop and attemted to transfer the detail map to MapSource. MapSource claims my Nuvi has no maps installed. It sure does. (I am not looking in the removable SD card either). What is the trick to get MapSource to get the detailed map?
Thx,

Just started using Mapsource and having a few problems. Can't find the answers in the manual or on line.

Since my unit does not have mp3 is there a way for me to add something so I can use the additional voices for poi's?

is there an easy way to tweak a saved favorite without recreating it?
There are some favorites that I've created that i just want to move over a few feet, so that I always "hit the target" when routing to them.

I have noticed that my 550 will not tell me when my next turn off will be. On my old Street Pilot it would tell me to turn left on North str. If I change the display map, it will show me and also tell me the next str name to turn on. I want to set this screen for use all the time. I don't need to have to watch the display for my turn. I want to hear my next turn.

Or get the update by just running WebUpdater.

I have no idea if this is the "sits in your system tray" version eluded to in a different topic.

Changes made from version 2.4.1 to 2.4.2:
* Changes to support updates for some zumo devices.

I was wondering if you can mark sections of roads as closed, so the Nuvi will automatically route around it when calculating routes?

Here in St. Louis, there is a several mile section of a major highway closed for repairs, and it will be for many months.

(Using nuvi 750, btw.)

I downloaded Red Light & Speed Cameras POIs to my computer but when I try to load them to my device or the SD card, the POI loader can't locate them or I can't see them when I use the browse function.

Has anyone expirienced this? My 255W has been fine and has not seen much use in the 2 months I have owned it. As soon as I plug in the unit I get a white screen flashing with the garmin splash screen in the background. It seems to sometimes stop and work if I press on the screen. Other than this it works OK. It did the flashing white screen once on battery, but that has not been replicable.

I travel to doctors for a living and I have yet to find a download which only shows local doctors? Does anyone know of a download like this? NUVI 260W

Thanks,

My 765t seems frequently misinterprets my touches, as much as 25% of the time. Calibrating the screen only produces minimal improvment. The problem is espcially severe at the bottom of the screen. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just picked up a 885t and installed the Costco POI. I'm assuming the unit already had Costco's on it, so I'm not sure what effect it had. Also where would I find them on the device? I was expecting a special category for custom POI's but are they just put in a category automatically?

***Update, never mind, I found them under extra's***

I recently picked up an 885T after being a Tomtom user for years and years. I noticed there are plenty of reviews on this device, but I rarely see it mentioned here. Are people using it?

Does anyone know when Garmin will release a DVD with the 2010 maps on it.

I have just bought a Nuvi 660 FM and am still getting to know its features. I was interested to see that the green text bar at the top generally shows the name of side roads on the right as you pass them, and usually ignores ones on the left.

I've been trying since mid January and have had no success. I bought a new Garmin 255W and want to have it tell me "rest area ahead" on the interstate rest areas. I've loaded the Illinois rest areas manually and added a WAV file. I gave the WAV file the same name as the rest area file name. I set the distance to 3000 ft manually. It doesn't work. I also added the SOX.EXE file as instructed.

I downloaded my phone directory via bluetooth onto my Garmin 780. When I looked at it the names are fliped around,and are listed last name first (rather than the way they are on my phone last name last) and many of the names are trunkated.
I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to edit the Garmin information? I looked for an edit key but none exists, nor is there a way to delete information.

I have a Nuvi 660 with City Navigator North America NT 2008 Software 4.70. But I find that my location on the map is off. When I am driving and pass a street the gps will show I am just passing it. Another thing I noticed is that when I go off the route it will show me still driving on the route for about 1.5 seconds then will reroute me. Does anyone else have these issues?
