Garmin talk

Sunday, November 23... the last day I saw my NUVI 660. I lent it to a friend and she called me later that evening to tell me that it had been stolen from her vehicle in a parking lot at a swim center in North Bethesda/Rockville Maryland.

Price is after rebates and or promo discounts. They sent me a e-mail with the price so if you are in the market for a cost effective nuvi this is hard to beat.

I received an email from Garmin. Got a free update for my free nuvi 270...

From Newegg.com

Free shipping, too.

I was wondering according to Garmin and there nuMaps Guarantee there may be updated maps for nuvis within 60 Days or registration and acquisition.

With Forum assistance I managed to attach an mp3 to a .csv & .bmp setup for a speed POI. Works very well indeed.

Question: Can one attach an mp3 to a place POI i.e. say Church.csv, Church.bmp & Church.mp3??

I do not seem to be able to get this type to work as I approach the relevant Church.

Thanks

Can someone tell me if the Clear Channel traffic network

Currently trying to load two different types of custom POI onto a Nuvi 255. Have different directorys set up for each type of POI on computer and using Garmin POI Loader. I only end up with the last POI file I loaded from computer and not both sets. Is there a way to have more than one custom set of PIO's without putting everything in one file ie; Warning Sirens and Radio towers??

May not be the cheapest, but Staples has the nuvi 850, no mail-in rebates:

Was wondering how my nuvi 255W reads different maps.

I have a 3rd party map i added to my garmin from http://mapcenter.cgpsmapper.com/

It is an updated map of my area.

Hi all...newbie here.
I have an old C330 and was thinking about upgrading. The battery as died and it's just time for a new unit. However, I have many destinations saved in my FAVORITES. How do I backup and save those and how do I put them on a new Garmin?
Thanks!

Hey to all the members.
I have a question on, can I or any of you set the redlight cameras and the speed cameras to be directional. I see here in sunny AZ that we have alot of these cameras only in 1 direction and it would be nice if possible to set the alerts to only alert if that camera poses a threat in that specified direction. So with all your help is this a doable task!!!!

Thanks Bill

Hi all,

I have Garmin GPS and recently when I hook-up the USB cable from my Computer a it is suddenly black out screen and I could not turn it on again?

Does anyone know what wrong with my GPS? I would appreciate your advices?

Thank you,

I want to go to several destinations, one right after the first stop, and so on. Is this a "route"?

I would like to try to program my GPS to allow such a trip. Where do I look for instructions?

Thanks.

Have a garmin 265t when using the POI loader the program freezes up and don't upload a thing sometimes I have to clear my POI extras and reload them one by one for the program to work properly is their any advice

Ok, so i unlocked the maps in Mapsource - Check
Transferred them to the mobile pc program - Check
Opened up mobile pc, no maps!!

I see the gmapsupp.img in the mobile pc folder, why is this not working??

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

I've tried this procedure, out of the user's manual, and can't seem to get it to work for me. Has anybody else tried this?

"Calibrating the Screen

If I set my proximity alert as a tour guide (to get a radial proximity) to the max distance. Will I continuously get an alert as long as I am within the set proximity for that POI or will it just alert me just once?

how do you set the proximity alert on street pilot c5xx series? alerts are loaded and proximity alert box is checked in the setup

Can you have both MSN Direct and Traffic Alerts at the same time? I understand that both recievers come on charging cable and you could use one at a time. I will appreicate your feedback.
