Garmin talk

Garmin just released WebUpdater 2.0.5, it seems to have fixed the issue that WebUpdater was having with Leopard 10.5.6.

I have installed it and tested it with my Nuvi 360, seems to be working just fine.

The site I found it on was:

http://www.macupdate.com/

It is also available from Garmin's site too.

Fry's Electronics Sale listed in the Atlanta Journal today - Friday, Jan 2nd thru Tuesday, January 6th is listing the Garmin Nuvi 850 on sale for $379.99

I have been geotagging my photos for the past 6 months with Geosetter. I have tried unsuccessfully to get my Garmin 265WT to use these photos for "photo navigation."

From the forum posts I have seen on the Panoramio site it appears that geotagged photos do not have to be posted to that site nor downloaded directly from http://connect.garmin.com/photos in order to use photo navigation.

Hey all!

This is my first post here after lurking around and reading about everything and anything nuvi. I bought these earlier and thought I'd share. I hope you enjoy this as much as I have!

My garmin 350 ver 8 occasionally will alert with a splash screen that a new update map is available.
Is there any way to permanently disable this?
Note: I have no need to upgrade the maps on this unit.
thanks

I want to update my map and I would like to know in what month of 2009 will the 2010 map be available?

I'm all new to this and I feel like a kid in a candy store!

Just got the 760 and didn't realize that the GTM20 cigarette lighter DC power adapter was an antennae. Is the GTM20 compatible with MSN direct or do I have to buy another antennae?

Sorry if this has been adressed, but I could not find a direct answer using the "search" functions

Thanks!

I have a nüvi 750, Software Version 4.60

I've downloaded and installed several POI files. All seems to work as advertised expect one thing I stumbled across this afternoon.

Has anyone had any problems with the 760 voice stuttering with the new 4.6 firmware upgrade? It was pretty bad yesterday. I didn't have the problem before the upgrade. I applied the upgrade again and it still does it.

Can the previous firmware 4.2 be applied?

Under Govt. Locations.

Is there a POI file that has DMV locations for all states?

TIA

This gps is much more fun now that I've installed the Dr. Fear voice. He cracks us up.
Overall, I am really impressed with this little device. I just wish it had a home button so that I didn't have to hit 'back' all the time..

I have a Garmin C580, I use the MP3 player to listen to all the music I play in my car. I have a 4GB SD card in my Garmin, but can only play 500 of the 750 songs (that may seem like a lot but it isn't), I have on the card, does anyone know if there's a limit on amount of music you can play on the Garmin C580?

I have just joined the group and boy is it great. I have a Garmin 760 paired with a Motorola V360. It works great. I am even able to voice dial. My problem is with the custom POI's that I have loaded. If I go to Where To then to Extras then to custom POIs all the custom POI's are there along with the phone numbers, but I am not able to call a number after selecting a POI from here.

Have searched the threads and do not see one relating to this so if duplicate, I appologize.

Hello all,

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can find a POI file for Apache Trail in AZ near Phoenix?

I read that the Nuvi screens are not touch sensitive enough requiring a lot of effort to select options, touch the required button, and are finger-print magnets. In time, will that make the screen uneven, collapse or develop craters due to applying so much finger pressure? Will the Nuvis last not as long as the older model Garmins of years ago?

Unlike the Nuvi 265W with the new map screen which shows a left or right turn ahead, the old map screen of the older Nuvi 760 doesn't show directional turn. How then does one know whether to keep left or right in order to execute the proper next turn without touching the screen to find out?

Hey everyone...
I am sure this has probably been discussed, and I don't know how to search the right words for it. Is it possible after a trip to download your track to the computer and look over the route?

Can the nuvi be hooked up to a laptop and used for active tracking on a map?
