Garmin 255W screen display shows:

Turn In (left or right arrow)
Speed
Arrival Time

Garmin 760 screen display shows:

Arrival Time
Turn In (NO left or right arrow)

Can the Garmin 760 display the speed as well as a left or right arrow for the next turn.

I have a few unlocked maps in mapsource (i.e. japan and bermuda maps from rwsmaps.griffel.se). I wanted to put those on garmin mobile XT loaded on my samsung symbian phone. Is it possible to do it ? should i just use mapsource ? will it overwrite the existing city navigator locked maps loaded on the phone in XT already ?

Is there such a gadget out there that not only charges my Garmin Nuvi but also connects the Bluetooth phone conversation and Garmin's Jack, Jill and Samantha's voice directions through the car's speakers? Yes, that would interrupt the AM/FM stereo music that is playing temporarily.

Hi everyone! From your experience with the 3D screen, which Garmin car or object gives the best car or object's actual location indication on the Garmin screen as you're driving.

I noticed that Nintendo's Mario is kind of slow moving in that I drove past Norwood Avenue before Mario did the same on the screen. Or should I go to a 2D screen to get a better location indication?

When does Garmin usually come out with the updated Maps?

I programmed my Garmin 265WT to direct me to Fleet Avenue. I decided to just trust Samantha's voice directions and aided by the actual street signs. She told me to "Turn right on Magnus St. then turn left". I did what she said and I turned right on Magnus St. when I saw the street sign "Magnus" and then I looked to see how I could turn left IMMEDIATELY and guess what?

just got my nuvi for christmas and have a quick question ? when the nuvi is hooked to my computer to charge the battery can the unit be powered on ? all i can see on the screen is garmin and the icon showing the garmin is hooked up the the pc . i would like to program my address in while the battery is charging . thanks for your help and merry christmas

I've found something very strange with my 760...

I have a Garmin 760 that I just recieved as a gift. How do I save new POIs to my SD card instead of the GPS memory????

The process of creating POIs for the Garmin is pretty simple and has been discussed and explained in many posts on this website (http://www.poi-factory.com/node/1631).

Basically creating a POI involves:

• Creating a text file and naming it with an extension of CSV (the CSV stands for a Comma Separated Variable)
• Inserting each point of interest on a separate line

Been playing around with taking the tracks/trail from my Garmin 750, then opening that file in google earth to see my path. Found at least two ways to do it. If I delete routes and favorites, then grab the current.gpx it works. But if I connect the 750 to Mapsource to use it to pull the file tracks from 750 to PC it doesn't work.

An observation many of you have found, but I just realized it. Went under a tunnel (definitely lost satellites) for about 30 seconds, watching the map. It assumed I kept the same speed & direction, so when I came out of the tunnel, it put me very-very close to my actual location.

Does anyone have experience with the speed/cadence sensor for bicycles? I'm planning on combining it with a Forerunner 305. I've been using the Forerunner for over a year with running, but am going to start training for a Duathlon and want to track my cycle training on the same unit.

msn has a weak signal how do get a better msn signal do i mount a antenna . out side my car for the garmin or what i have a nuvi 5000 and it has a spot for an ext antenna but that is just for the garmin not the msn right??? or is it for both need help ???

nuvi 5000 & nuvi 200w

I am looking for a home adapter for my mom's Nuvi 205w. I was wondering if any mini USB AC adapter would work or if there is a special adapter that I have to use to charge it at home.

Do you think something like this would work:

Thanks.

I bought Garmin external mic today and treid to connect it to my Nuvi 760 but found that connector is too lose and won't stay in. Am I doing something wrong? I will appreciate your help.

I have a Garmin 750 GPS and really like it. I have downloaded the POI downloader and some POI files. I put the first batch I wanted into the GPS. It was great. THen I downloaded some more POI's and when I downloaded them into the GPS they deleted the previous ones. What did I do wrong?

BTW I also installed a 1gb SanDisk into the unit and put mps files on it should I download the poi's to it?

It seems that the 765T is being slammed right and left by owners of the earlier 7X0 series in various GPS forums. Is there anyone out there with a 765T who has anything good to say about it? If so, is it only because you have never owned a 7X0 series and thus do not have high expectations? Please feel free to respond with the truth, not with what you think I want to hear.

Had a chance to go to hawaii this past week. Spent most of my time in oahu and a day in maui. While in oahu, i had a rental car. Travelled a total of 217 miles. Stayed at a cheap hotel in wikiki. My trusty nuvi 350 worked fine directing me to polynesian cultural center, north shore, airport, pearl harbor, circuit city, byodo temple, pali lookout, etc.
