Garmin talk

I still can not find new Garmin models except for one Nuvi 265TW but other models e.g 755, 765T and 775T etc. are not available in any store. Has anybody any luck finding them in Canadian stores?

If I change the vehicle type in either of my Garmins, the unit takes a different route. Why? What is the difference between Car, Truck, Delivery Van, etc.? The Manual doesn't say.

I've transferred a track from my nuvi750 to MapSource and now i would like to save it as a route that i could transfer to my wife's nuvi750 is this possible and if so how do i go about it.

Thanks

Ron

Now that the cold weather is here i was wondering if I left my Nuvi in the car overnight in below 32 degree temperatures could it damage the unit. I know it could kill the battery but could it damage the screen as well?

Everything went well with the 2009 map update, but I seem to have lost EVERY SINGLE point of interest!

Everything is gone...you type mcdonalds and nothing shows up!! How do I recover this ??? Thx

I loaded some speed camera alerts onto my Nuvi 350 and the speed cameras are approx 1 mile apart. I only get the first alert and the following alerts do not trigger after the first alert goes away.

Has anyone had this problem? What can be done to fix it?

Sorry if this has been discussed, but I couldn't find it in the forums anywhere. I was wondering if anybody had any problems with the Nuvi software version 5.00 update?

thanks

I've had several routes that were created by Mapquest and tried to send via the send option rejected. That is sometimes with multiple waypoints Mapquest says it can't communicate with my device. I called Garmin and they said they don't advise to use Mapquest. They had me make sure that my computer is seeing the device which it does.

anyone still having a very slow start up on Nuvi 760? i have 4.2, if not, what did you do to rectify, i heard hard restart, i forgot, cant find how to do that. thanks

Recently I have noticed that the Garmin Mount between the back of the unit (680) and the ballhead from the Garmin Bean Bag mount has become loose and the unit keeps pointing down. Anyone else have this same issue. I was thinking of putting same tape on the ballhead or something else to tighten up the space, any suggestions?

I am on the road today. I will be going to to Lawton VA. to pick up the Auto Train to Florida. I am in Woodbridge NJ for the night. I have driven this route for the last 4 years and I used AAA Maps. The maps still to this day avoid the GW Bridge. So, I wanted to avoid the GW bridge in NY and use the Tapinzee Bridge.

My Garmin came without a folder called mp3. I know you have to make a folder with this name and put your .mp3's inside.

Will the Garmin read .mp3 files inside subfolders? In other words can I make a folder for each album inside the mp3 folder and access them from the Garmin, or do I just have to make playlists?

Hey everybody.

I have a bunch of audio books in .mp3 format. Does anyone know of any way to convert them to .aa so they're bookmarkable? Or is there a way to convert them and play them as bookmarkable .mp3 files on the Garmin?

I got one of those 270 freebies from Discover and intend it to be a gift for someone out of state. Is it a bad idea to go ahead and setup the GPS with my local data, or should the GPS be left in virgin status? It's going to be a good month or more before giving it. Thanks.

Are there any GPS units out there that will play movies. I have a factory gps in my 4-runner it will only play if truck is in park and the brake is on?

So my Garmin c580 began downloading and updating its firmware the other day and I was like ok? so it finished and then began a "bluetooth firmware update" but it sat at 0% for my entire 20-25 minute journey. I work on PCs for a living, so I know the danger in interrupting a firmware update so I left it turned on while I went to work.

Has anyone had success with adding stock symbols to their nuvi with MSN Direct? So far, I've only gotten 1 to work, other than Garmin GRMN itself which came already added. Every other symbol I try throws the error "No information available for this stock symbol."

Thanks!

I'm new and I looked but can't find an answer to my questions. I hope someone can lead me to the right place.

I have a Colorado 400t. I have loaded POI and I can see a list of the POIs however none show up on the map screen. How do I get the POI show up with an icon on the screen and were do I get the icons?

Hi all,

What's the hottest Garmin model for this Christmas?

Thanks...

I'm talking about the ones that came with the unit, they are useless to me.

If so, about how much, and can I do it using toe POI application from Garmin's site? POI loader I think?

I'm a courier and have to restart it many times a day.

Thanks
