Garmin talk

Greetings,
I am a new grandpa and would like to replace some/all of the pictures in my Nuvi 250W with pictures of my grandson. Can this be done?

I am a new Garmin owner so I just may not know the procedure or, if you've already cracked that nut, where to look.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Mike

Hello:

I was messing around with a friend's Nuvi 205, and set a random PIN number on it.

When I purposely tried to enter the wrong PIN numbers, it would just beep, but allowed me to quickly erase and enter a new # to try.

My wife has the GPS with her on a trip... She came across an interesting question which I didn't have an answer for.. Let's hope you guys do!

anybody ever run a defrag or scandisk on their garmin? I can see it is easy to do but haven't do so yet. I can't imagine it would hurt anything. Thoughts?

I am new around here and this is somewhat a multi-part question and would appreciate any insight you all have.

I downloaded MapSource from Garmin website and was using it when the map dissapeared. What do I do now?

I am a big fan of Garmin, and refer all my friends and family to buy Garmin whenever possible. I even gift out Garmin to my folks when they said they wanted a GPS.

But now I'm wishing Garmin would do somethings better.

My Garmin C320 has been rock solid, but I can't say the same of the newer Nuvi units.

I purchased a 2 Gig SD card for my 200W. After loading customs POI's to my card, I find I have plenty of room to load photos. I haven't found exactly where to load the photos. Do I create a folder or load it onto the main directory of the card? Second question: How many actually use your Nuvi to carry and display photos?
Thanks,
Dodger34.

I am new to the 705 series. i found tha tmy unit is only showing one turning arrow in green in the upper left of the screen while you have multiple arrows in the manual pics. Do you know how to setup the nuvi to make it show more than the upcoming turn.

Thanks.

Help:

My 750 was working fine, then all of a sudden wouldn't turn on.

Any ideas on how to re-start or am I doomed to sending it in to Garmin?

Tanks in advance

I updated formware on my older C330 today and after that I removed my custom POIs from it. Now when I try to transfer POIs, I am getting message "There is not enough space on the unit, please decrease the nuber of files to be transferred." I tried by reducing the nuber but no luck.

Is there a way to access C330's hard disk?
I will appreciate your help.

I am suffering since upgrading from a 660 to a 765T unit. I returned the first unit but the replacement crashes in an identical manner during use. Sometimes it reboots, but usually the screen remains black. It will not always reset by holding the switch to the left. I cannot find any other listings with this issue but wondered if it is a known problem?

I have a nuvi 285 and have been trying to load bmp files and not getting anything. The poi's load just fine but leave a square where the image would be. Have both files with the same name in the poi folder.

Help!

Thanks

I downloaded some POI files but can't get them to open. Says it needs to know what program created them. The files were in CVS format if that helps any I have a garmin nuvi 250W

I downloaded the GPSU shareware yesterday. I can't get it to accep any POI files. The message indicates that the 1st character is unreadable. The raw file shows a - as the first character. Is this wrong?

Thanks

Am I correct in assuming that if I bought the subscription to FM-Traffic via Clear Channel I can use both the free Navteq and Clear Channel. I live in Buffalo, NY and Navteq works here, but when I travel east to Boston there is no Navteq service just Clear Channel. Thanks!

I've been reading about the Garmin 60 day map update guarantee, but I'm not sure I understand how it works.

Here's the scenario:

I bought my parents a new Nuvi 750 in November 20th. I gave the Nuvi 750 to my parents in December. My parents opened their gift and used the Nuvi on December 27th for the first time.

Given this scenario, how does the 60 day update work?

When in FM transmitter mode I'm still getting a little static over the car speakers. I am tuned the weakest station in my area 88.1 FM. If I hold down the battery symbol on the main screen all the test screens come up and hit "next" 4 times you will see the settings for FM.

I have a Garmin C320 with NT 7.0 maps on it. I'm several releases behind the current maps.

But so far in every use the NT 7.0 maps have been fine, and I have been able to get to any place I need to go.

That said, how do I figure out if I need the new maps? Does Garmin or some site or service offer detailed comparisons of what the new maps offer?
