Broken NUVI cradle problem

While on my trip to Europe I had the misfortune to break the cradle of my Nuvi 250W windscreen mount. Was if faulty or did I do something wrong - I do not know, but it probably was 4 weeks out of warranty!

Garmin nüvi 710 USB Charger

Dose anybody know why I can't use my Garmin while charging it using USB cable?

Used my Nuvi on high speed trains

Just returned from a long trip in Europe and thought I would share my train stories. I did intend using on the flights but seating (and power availability due to flight times) made that little use.
However - I found that the Nuvi made high speed train travel interesting - French TGV and Eurostar. Both achieved speeds over 300kph! Lots of local trains often get over 160kph.

StreetPilot C550 Fuse of the Car Chargers goes off

I have had this issue at least 2 times now in 2 different cars. When I have the Streetpilot C550 Car Charger /Traffic Signal Adapter plugged into my car Charger outlet, the charger stopped charging after few days. I thought it was a problem with the GPS Charger .But it seems the Fuse of the Car Charger Outlet went off.

Routes in Garmin 750

255 vs. 260

I am looking to upgrade my current GPS, and I have narrowed my choice to either the Nuvi260 or 255. I have read all of the reviews and forums. This forum’s members were especially helpful with suggestions and answers to questions.

Trip Screen

Hi I have a Garmin 760 and when I’m standing still in position for an extended time I noticed that the MPH, Moving Total, and Moving AVE randomly shows movement. Could it be my unit or is this something that is common, because of Satellite movement.
Thanks

Hi everyone,

I have a Nuvi 250W from about a year ago now, and when looking at a friends recently purchased model Nuvi 250W i noticed that some things have been updated and look very impressive.

Problems With My Nuvi 780

I'm experiencing intermittent and annoying problems with my Nuvi 780 since installing an update at the end of Sep 08. The problems are with locking up when powering on, voice turning off, and voice directions continuing way after a turn or change of direction is executed. Has anyone else experienced these problems lately? What can I do to correct them?

How many Speed Cameras do you see?

The current POI file lists 267 speed cameras. I see 3 of them going to work, which seems an unfairly high number!! I'm sure it's not the record. Anybody see more of them?

Opinion on Nuvi 765t

Whats up all. New to the forum and think this is pretty cool. Hope I can be a valued contributor. Wanted to get everyones feedback/opinions on the new Nuvi 765t. I wanted a pretty full featured Garmin for $500 or under. This was close to $500 ($525), so I bought it, but was curious what the overall opinion is.

Amazing

It is totally amazing the things you can learn off this webb site . Little over 3 weeks ago I found this site out of 100's . Signed up and have learned from some of the best on how to take My Nuvi 760 to a whole different level. I am still learning but I now know how to add, create and modify the poi files to my needs and I not so great at the computor.

SD card performance?

Sorry if this has already been addressed.

Is there any difference in system performance with poi's loaded on a SD card versus system memory?
