Garmin talk

If I were to upgrade my Garmin for Christmas and give my son my old Nuvi 350, what should I upgrade too, and why? I am sure I am not the only one thinking of doing something like this, so I leave my information needed vague so all will benefit from this discussion.

on the mp3 player folder can you have sub folders to orginize the tunes, or does it have to be one main folder??!!

Saved the gpx file from the old 680.
Trying to copy and paste it into the 760 garmin/gpx folder, but it will not show the favorites.
Is there a trick to it?

TIA

Hi,

I have this Nuvi 770 that all of a sudden will hang when trying to enable the Bluetooth. It will stay for ever on that "Enabling Bluetooth" Screen. The only way out is to power off the unit.

Tried many suggestions from different forums but nothing good. Also it seems that many people are having this problem.

Present software version is...
V4.20 for the Nuvi 770.

I'm very new at this and have a couple of questions. First, I saw a topic on another forum stating that you have to add all the POI's at once because it deletes the database and just installs what you are installing at that time. Is this correct? Did my database that Garmin pre-installed on my gps was overwritten?

I just got a Garmin Nuvi 265WT. This is my fisrt GPS and I'm still learing. What I would like to know is if there is a way to load a BMP Icon file without having to have a matching POI file? Any insight would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks!!!!

On my 680, the best feature was to turn off the voice prompts and just have the prompt alerts, so the GPS would still give a DING for a turn and directions.
Garmin has now done away with prompt alerts, using a 760, I have to either listen to the directions, or turn it off so I can talk on the phone.
One way to get the DING back would be to add that as a voice like Jill or Jack.

How do you find info on POI's already stored.
I.E. A fuel stop listed by name only on Nuvi.
Would like to find adress, Long?lat ect....

Thanks in advance

Please don’t take this post the wrong way. I am not expressing criticism nor am I trying to start a fight. I am not even expressing disapproval. However, a number of recent posts have bothered me, and I ask myself these questions.

Why are we wasting so much time and space deciding how to :
a. Spray, or in some way, mess up our license plates so as to make them unreadable?

Is FM Traffic service available only during weekeday?
I checked it on my GPS today, I got the message "No Traffic data available" though FM signal light was green.

I just uploaded a POI file for the restaurants, check out below link.
If anyone wants to do a similar file for a different area, I'd be happy to share how I did it. Actually quite easy, most addresses are on their web site.

I just purchased a nuvi 360 for my grandfather for xmas...

But when i compare the screen to the 350 that i have been using for the last year, the display is not as colorful (contrast) as the one i bought last year.

Any similar experiences, or is this defective?

Thanks

I thought that I read somewhere, that when using the Source button in the mp3 player, that you could switch between the onboard memory and the SD card when selecting mp3's to play.

when I tap on Source, I only go from mp3 to the sample Audible book files that came on the unit, and back.

I don't seem to be able to pick from the two locations.

I have a garmin nuvi 680 and I want to download POI's from this website and save to SD Card and be able to access POI from the SD card and not my garmin device. I have downloaded the POI to my card using the Garmin POI loader but it does not give me any options to access from sd card.

can i install topo maps on my 255w on a sd card

i cranked up my nuvi 760 and got a message "new MSN software available". i connected my GPS and started the webupdater. yes indeed a new version is available for MSN and TMC

Does anyone know what the difference is between all the PCB versions?
I've seen ver 3, 5, and 7.

I know probably very few have the Storm yet but in case someone has tried it, how does the Bluetooth work with the Garmin? I have my enV connected to my Nuvi 660 and it works great, but this new Storm looks like a nice phone. Any other reaction to the Storm yet?
