Garmin talk

I hope it would help others on their decision, too.

I was out of continent for three weeks. Came back only few days back. Now, looks like MSN Direct traffic flow info in Toronto area disappeared.

Hello everyone and before I get started here, let me thank all of you that replied to my original "more confused than ever" post. I learned alot from your replies ( never owned a gps before ) and i've pretty much narrowed my list down to 2 or 3.

Garmin 750 for $189.99 free shipping no tax at Newegg.com, they are very nice to deal with and have ordered many items with no problems.

Apple just (5 minutes ago) announced the ability for developers to build turn-by-turn directions into their iPhone GPS software. Only hitch is that due to licensing problems, they will have to supply their own maps, and will not have access to iPhone's maps for the purpose of turn-by-turn directions.

Is there any hope for Garmin developing a Nuvi iPhone app? That would be sooo sweet.

Costco and Amazon

I had my POI files on the SD card in my NUVI, and one day in a hurry I clicked Yes to install them onto the nuvi, which I did not mean to do.

My question is...Is there any way to move the off the nuvi and back onto the sd card?

I use garmin edge 705 for the bike especially when I travel out of town. However, I would like to edit the start and stop point of routes downloaded. What is the easiest way or site to do this on. I prefer to use routes off mapmyride.com as they are usually loaded from riders in those areas where I am traveling. Thanks.

I am looking to replace my C340. I already have a Nuvi 780 and I want another Nuvi that is preferably a widescreen and must have the capability to input lat/long coordinates. I am trying to keep to the low end of the price spectrum so I am not planning on another 700 series. What would you recommend?

i notice a new speed camera on Barton ave in Chattanooga tn has anyone loaded it yet on the files i tried couple of months ago but it never pick up the speed camera when i approach it after i had downloaded the files on my nuvi 660 thanks guys i need help

I'm new to GPS and, up until this problem, it has all been good. The problem is, I downloaded from this site POI's for winerys in the Okanagan, BC, Canada. Loaded them just fine but when I look at them from my location (Edmonton, Alberta), the mileage (kilometers in this case) are wildly out. I'm approximately 1000kms from the wineries but my new Garmin 780 is showing 550 - 600kms.

Garmin went out of their way to help this guy out after he dropped his 260W and broke the screen!

Link to his story that he posted on another forum today:

Hi all, I purchased a Nuvi 360 two months ago and downloaded and installed the updated (2009) map. I ended up giving it to my mother-in-law who fell in love with it after borrowing it a couple times. I have now purchased another Nuvi 360 for myself and after registering it online, tried to download the 2009 map update. No go.

I noticed that my garmin will say I am traveling at 50 mph but my speedometer will always be 2 to 3 mph slower. Can I depend on the gps being more exact than my speedometer? I know your Tire size can affect this.

Does anyone know if the silicone jackets on ebay will fit the 765t? It says it fits the 200 series, but the size looks very comparable to the 765t.

I'm not sure if all the ports will match up or if there's any difference. I couldn't find any 700series specific items..

It all seems so simple...I read the directions for using the POI Loader...I thought I followed them correctly. I am obviously missing something(s)! This is frustrating. I am new to the GPS world. So...HELP!

I purchased a Nuvi 760. It works great! Love it!

Ok guys, first of all thank you all replying to my previous "cry" for help.. I'm in the market for a new gps unit and like I said in my previouis post, the more I read, the more confused I get.. the number of units out there is overwhelming.. so let me lay it out nice and simple. Below I have a list of units that I am considering plus what I may or may not like / understand about the unit..

Hi all, adding POI's got the best of me and I decided to remove all of the custom POI's. I use the POI Loader to remove all the custom POIs, but they're still there when I go to custom POIs. I deleted the poi.gpi file, but the custom POIs are still there even after I restarted the unit. Am I'm missing something, did I miss a step? This is a Nuvi 265WT

Thanks for you help.

Hi Everybody,

I just had my Magellan 1412 stolen, but was looking at the Garmin 260w now $169 @ Costco. Unfortunately I can't find a working 260w to play with, so I hope you can answer two questions for me:

1 - Can the 260 accept manual entry of lat/long coordinates like some of the more recent models?

Hello, to all members of POI Factory.
I have a Nuvi 670 and I had poi`s in the favorites file and when I turned the Gps off and turn on again and went to the favorites poi`s no longer there. One question, I forgot to save them in a file in the computer. Can I recover them? or I have to do another list and make sore that I save in the computer.
