Garmin talk

I just downloaded the new Google Earth #5 and it looks real neat. You can transfer GPS routes to it from Garmin. I had the Google Earth Plus and it has been discontinued because the new Version 5 does more and it free.

Hi All,

Is there a way to see a list of all firmware update versions for a Nuvi 205w? I tried searching on Garmin's site but can't find it listed on this page: http://www8.garmin.com/support/blosp.jsp

Also, I don't necessarily want to connect the device and check it via WebUpdater. I'd just like to see the versions available, and what changed in each version. Thanks!

Couple of days ago my 765 behaved in a very strange way. Sorry, I did not get time to share it with you guys. I went to a mall around 1:30 PM EST for 10 minutes. When I came back in my car and started it. My 765 started as well but in night mode showing time 8 PM. And then I saw warning on the screen that my maps are more than a year old..should get new maps..

A new bug has been discovered in nuvi 7x5 series v3.10 using the new 2009.11 maps. If you use map panning mode and zoom in to the screen and place the pointer on either a street or a POI (at least those built into the mapset), the name of the POI or the street is no longer being displayed.

v2.50 or v3.00 do *not* have this problem.

I have a nuvi 200w, and I recently logged on to the Garmin web site and saw that I had an update that was available. It was a map update for 2009, so I downloaded it (which took about 7 hour from start to finish).

Hi,

Does anyone have the same peculiar problems with 265WT as I had when connected to car charger?

1) 265WT rebooted several times when in congested traffic- seemed unable to reroute. I finally manually reroute and it hadn't rebooted since..
2) The rerouting/recalculating takes dramatically longer than when it is on battery.

I have been enjoying this website learning as a newbie, I am stuck howevere, I have been adding POIs to my NUVI 760, but for some reason it will only let me add 3 seperate POIs ,is that all you can put in? or am I doing something wrong.

Thanks in advanced

I can only get 2 hours out of my new 755t. I have it connected to my car charger for the FM traffic and thought that would keep the GPS battery charged. What do I do on a 7 hour trip if the battery is only good for 2 hours?

Is the FM traffic option available in Canada? I currently have a 760 NUVI.

Thanks in Advanced

was curious if it a good product?

When the 3D pointer indicates when to turn ,what is the part of the arrow to go by. The tip ,center,or tail?It would help to know for turns in a very tight spot or multiple exits very close together.

Was curious if anyone else had this problem since this is my third device and the problem continues.

I have a 265wt (Nuvi) after several days of being paired with my iPhone it starts shutting off, then coming back on. If I disconnect my bluetooth feature from talking with my iPhone then the GPS unit stays on.

I've downloaded POI icons from POI Factory & transfered to nuvi 765T, but I can't find them on it.not with other POI icons any suggestions on how to get POI icons from web site to nuvi 765T icon tray

Looks like messed up Jill file on 765 while fixing it with speech_doctor. Now it speaks few names even funier. Is there any way to update these files? Unfortunately, I forgot backup file. Are 760 files same? If that is is the case then I have bakup. I will appreciate your help.

nuvi Lifetime Map subscription is not what it sound like. The subscription is tied to you current unit. Have it stolen and there goes you lifetime subscription. Sell the unit to upgrade to a newer Garmin and you have to buy a new Lifetime subscription. The same is true for FM Traffic.

I was wondering . Can i delete the other voices on my garmin to make more room on it

Has anyone tried this site? Maybe it's been discussed before. I've had a lot of fun generating POi's with descriptions, sound and a picture.

Here it is: http://www.geovative.com/

I submitted a WV attractions route. Now on my Garmin, I have a poi list that has descriptions of hours, rates, etc.

My Nuvi 760 stoped doing TTS Speech a few days ago, and I noticed at the main menu, there's a Red Lip Icon with a Grey X Through it. I tried changing the language, to American English, and tried both Jack and Jill, but it's still there, and no voice turn notifications.

Anyone know what might be up, and how to fix it?

Thanks for your help.

When I access my Streetpilot c550 on my computer the curent.gpx file does not show up. I have copied it before but for some reason it is not now available. I have done a search on the removable disk (Garmin SP c550) to no avail. I do find the POI.GPI file in the GPX sub directory and have opened it (after conversion) and it isn't the Favorites file data.

I have many POI's on my Garmin 755T, but they are all under the heading of Custom POI's. You can only search for one of the POI's or all of them at once. Is there a way of placing groups together under common headings? When I'm looking for fuel, I want all the fuel stops but not the resturants and other POI's I have.
