So....is it wise, advisable, to defrag the Nuvi? The defrag utility says I 'should not defrag this drive'. It is however, covered with red, fragmenetd files!

Comments welcome!

i have the garmin 265T and i already uploaded the rest areas, but now i want to set the alert. do i have to uninstall the file first then set it to manual and reload it? and if i do, how do i uninstall it?

For you Harley lovers. Just saw this today and thought they did a good job.

Garmin has released 3.30 firmware for the Nuvi 755.

There are a bunch of corrections in this update. I already installed, and will advise if I see any problems.

Does anyone know of SD cards that are made by independents that contain mapping information that supplement the SD cards made by Garmin??

I've been upgrading SW versions to 4.50 and having bluetooth work successfully with my Samsung u430. I upgraded to SW version 4.70 and am now having an issue where even though the units are bluetoothed I cannot answer a call on the Nuvi. The screen that used to appear saying "incoming call answer/ignore?" doesn't appear. Neither does the Nuvi 'ring'.

I am thinking of selling my Nuvi 255W to upgrade to a Nuvi 765T. I paid $220.00 from Amazom last Oct. I also bought a Garmin AC Charger for $17.00. I do know that the price has come down. I want to be fair in selling it. I have found many 350,200, and 260's for sale, but not any of the XX5 series. How much do you think that I should ask for it.

Several months ago I purchased a 765t and used it without any custom POI’s installed. This past weekend I decided to install the custom POI’s from my older 750 into the new unit. The problem I have now is that the icons are all showing up in a light blue and not the original colors. Some of these bmp’s I made and some were downloaded.

Question for any one regarding a Nuvi 750. Because the FM output is not always ideal, I connect my music output via the external jack to a separate FM modulator and in doing so the normal navigation voice/tones are disabled. Is there a way to have retain voice and or tones ??

I'm going to France, Swisse, Germany. I noticed if I try to use coordonates to find an address in France it doesn't work whichever format I choose. I need to find the address using information (ex. a picture of their map) from the hostel, hotel or B&B owner. Does somebody knows how can I make work the POIs (like McDonalds, etc) ?

I have the rest area poi in my Garmin 650 and it works great but I would like to change the distance that it tells you that the rest stop is ahead.
Do I have to reload the file and do a manual setup?

Is there a way to backup the existing maps on Garmin nuvi 200?

Where are the maps are been stored defualt?

Thanks.

If you got your garmin for Christmas
You need to request a map update now.
I ask them for an update and because I am two weeks alter in asking they said no way.
Apparently when you acquire satellites for first time you also send a signal to Garmin.
So they know actually when it was first used.
Below is my e-mail from them and a link explaining their policy.

Ok.. Just got a new Nuvi 750. Does anyone know if you can import routes from MapSource to the device? Oh.. and if so how?

Thanks!

what options would you want on it and why?

i have downloaded several poi files from the site to a folder run by microsoft excel.my question is can i add personal ones i have come across to the list by adding the coords next inline?and then send them to the site,or do i need to send them to the site first ,then download,hope this makes sense.
