Garmin talk

My 750 spends most of the time mounted in my car plugged into the cigarette lighter. It's turns on and off automatically with the car, as the cigarette lighter is switched with the ignition. My car spends some nights in the garage, and some nights outside in the cold.

Just open MapSource and go to help and then check for updates and it will be shown.

The following changes were made:

1. Fixed an issue using custom waypoint symbols installed in the current user directory.
2. Fixed an issue displaying the vertical profile for certain maps.
3. Fixed route issues for routes containing a waypoint more than once.

First post here, so a quick little intro I guess is in order.

I've been using a GPS for nearly 10 years now. First started with a Streetpilot (The original black and white one), moved up to a GPSmap 60C, and now have a nuvi 750.

Ok, so I've loaded a whole pile of custom POI's on my nuvi 760, And it worked while testing it on my way home for Tim Hortons. Now the question, do the alerts only work when you are following a route? Will they work if I just have the map up - will an alert sound as I approach a POI???

Ok, I've joined the ranks of using Garmin lock ... and a custom splash screen.

But as I selected my code, it just dawned on me ... there has been wide speculation about just how long it would take a thief to enter the "x" digit lock code combinations and permutations.

What is the best way to upload tourguide mp3 files on to a nuvi 7 series, how do attach a lat long to a mp3 file.
Cheers

Looks like Garmin has discontinued more nuvi models, those being the 2x0w and the 7x0 units.

I am trying to upload a custom splash screen to a 7 series garmin nuvi. Have tried ximage upload and cannot find my device. Is it possibe to do? If it is what are the steps????

I just updated my Nuvi880 to 4.30 and since then when I display the map in "track up" mode I get a green terrain map. (Green due to elevation, I guess.) This makes it a little tougher to read the text on the map.

I emailed Garmin and their response is below:

I've downloaded the file, manually, Will it work on my Garmin 260?

Thanks

On my 265WT, I have observed that since the day I have loaded POI Files, my screen has become little sluggish.

When zoomed in to see the POI Icons, I am seeing a lot of lag in my route naviagation! If I zoomout, I cannot see the icons, but my route navigation improves drastically!

This question may or may not apply here but the other Zumo board I visit told me how to send route to my GPS and I know how to do that..

My question is which is better practice.

Just picked up up nuvi 200. gps newb here, so i will be paying attention and asking los of q's that i don't find answers for.

I want to upgrade to get Bluetooth. I have no need for traffic alerts. The 765T ($420.00) is way to much money. The 265WT (around $240.00) seems to be weak on its Bluetooth and is having problems with the 2009.1 maps. Its funny that the best review for bluetooth was Nuvi 760 ($220.00). It looks like its my best bet for an all in one GPS and Bluetooth. I just don't like going backwards

Can .wav sound files be included with .mp3 files in Sounds?

has anybody had a issue with free traffic,well it is not free it is $100 dollars, it does not give correct traffic,if there is bad traffic it wont tell you and if it is good traffic it says there is a five minute delay

I like the .gpx files because of all the xtra detail in the POI's. For example I am going to florida soon so added the olive garden gpx that has phone numbers and stuff. But I also have a csv file with ALL the olive gardens listed. Does anybody know if one overwrites the other? Also, I put an mp3 alert and named it the same as the csv file, will it work with the florida olive gardens?

Hello All,
My nuvi 260 has text to speech, but, if your going down the highway say 60mph the alert to turn comes too late. You'll miss the exit or turn every time. I have to watch the screen so I don't miss it. Is there a way to change this?? Has anyone else seen this on their device??

The version without text to speech does not have this problem, it gives you plenty of time.

I took my Gamin 760 for a spin yesterday and on the way home I wanted to travel to an adjacent road.
I new the road was say 10 miles to the west but I didn't know if any of the side roads i was passing would intersect.

Greetings,
