Garmin talk

I have a Nuvi 350 that does not except routes. I went to Mapquest and created a route and then used the drag and drop feature to change the route. I sent this to my Nuvi and it shows up as waypoints, however, they are scattered around my favorites based on the street names.

I have noticed that there is no auto answer feature on Bluetooth on my Nuvi 760 and I am sure other models will be the same. It will be nice to have auto answer feature for hands free calling.

I don't know if this has been posted here already. I got it off a GPS newsgroup.

I am new to the gps world, but am wondering if I can dowload an alert on mp3 file onto my streetpilot 330

Is a 265WT with an MSN adapter instead of FM Traffic.

How do you use the Garmin traffic info when you are in familiar territory? Do you let the GPS route you to where you've driven a thousand times before or do you just watch the traffic display and do your own routing?

These two works!

2. Speed@50.gpx

This one don't work!

3. Speed@35.gpx

All were assembled and the POI loader 2.4.0 installed them.

I own a garmin Nuvi 660 for over a year now and I never figure out how I can take the speed zone alert sound built into the system. It is a continuous tone that sounds like a dull sound of a bell and a message appears that I'm in the speed zone of 2 miles per hour.

The battery on my 850 will fully discharge while turned off for several days. I can charge it fully with the Garmin external charger, disconnect the charger, turn it off, set it aside on my desk, and then it won't power up after sitting for a few days.

does anyone know how to change the color of a vehicle srf. for the Garmin's!!

need someone to do this if possible for me!!

hOW DO i OPEN THE CASE (without breaking it)? trying to see if I can replace the backup battery?

Can someone suggest a reliable FM Transmitter and a site to purchase it? Are ther any must have specifications when selecting a unit?

any Honda CR-V owners here?

I thought I would pass along this mounting tip.

I didn't want to use the suction cup windshield mount that comes with the unit, and the idea of a vent mount in the summer when I usually have my A/C blasting, didn't seem too appealing.

check this out... late Friday night, a girl-friend i hadnt seen in a looong time called and told me to come to a house party...
if you hadnt known yet from my long post, my 660 was stolen.. so i had to get creative. i had my friend's laptop in the car but freakn Borders charge for internet connection so i scratched that idea... so i resulted.. to *drum roll* a county map.

Does anyone know why the power/traffic cables for the nuvi 765t and the nuvi 265t are so different?

I have the 765t, and bought a 265wt as a gift ... I was surprised when the cable wasn't the same - they both use the same traffic service.

The Garmin website doesn't have either listed in the accessories section!

I created a TourGuide for McDonalds with a .csv extension. I included a sound and icon from the libraries on this site.
Somehow the installation of these files corrupted my map file - according to Garmin technical support. I have sent the Nuvi 350 back to them and expect they will return a refurbished one.
My questions: did anyone else have this problem?

Hi,

I tried to search for this answer and could not find it on this web site.

Once I use the POI Loader and loaded one of the custom made POI file, from my GPS interface, does these custom POIs got blended in with the existing POI's which came with the maps ?

I just want to see how do I use these custom made POIs, do I search for it as usual through the Where To -> Point Of Interest?
