Garmin talk

I finally went on the Garmin website and "updated" my maps on my Nuvi 750 I bought over the winter. I followed all the steps to update the map data, including turning unit on and off, connecting to computer so I assume it updated. Yet I am wondering a few things- is there a way to tell what "version" is on your unit somehow?

when i load my POI's there are some that by default has proximity alerts turned on, so i have to manually go through all my POI's to turn them off.

Is there something i can edit in the file itself, so that everytime i load my poi's in the loaded, i dont have to go through them all, some examples are white castles, and 7-11. Thank you

Everytime I want to put a pic up next to my name either nothing happens or the same pic keeps on coming up. What is the correct way to post a pic.

Doesn't look like they did much to update POI Loader.

Change History
Changes made from version 2.5.2 to 2.5.3:
Fixed issue with Asian language translated strings being incorrectly truncated.

Anyone want to see if they addressed anything we would have wanted?

Hi,

I was wondering can the Boot Screen that shows warning message with agree button at bottom be Disabled. If you do nothing the screen goes away on its own so I dont understand the reasoning for it at all. I would like to remove it so that it isnt annoying me during startup extending my wait time. If anyone can help it would be Greatly Appreciated.

Thanks,

Does anybody know why this might happen? My Nuvi 660 has been periodically installing the Bluetooth update I had downloaded a while back. Not every time I turn it on, but intermittently. Of course when that happens I lose my settings and have to resync.

does anyone know how to access stored info on garmin c330. i would like to edit recent selections to include more information etc. thanks

When connected to a computer via a USB cable would the battery receive a charge?

I am new to this and Springfield, Illinois has a new Wal mart Super center. How do I get the information from the GARMIn 255 to this website.
Thanks

Selecting (from Tools) the "Where am I?" screen on the 750 I see three selections to the right side of the screen. Hospitals, Police Stations, Fuel.
Is it possible to Edit, ADD, to these menu items?

Does anyone have any experience with the Nuvi 260?

Sounds like line breaks in the description for custom POIs has been a problem for various models. Is, or was this a problem with the Nuvi 255W?

I can't get my POI Descrptions to show as multi-line text. I am fairly certain I am creating the csv file correctly.

Does anyone use an external antenna?

Is there a big difference, or is it a waste of money?

Just in case anyone is looking for a Zumo 550, here's a site that offers a new unit for $899, and then includes an "instant" $200 rebate, dropping the price to $699. This dealer was actually suggested to me by someone who works at Garmin.

Anybody interested in the 265WT, tvnav.com has them in stock, I am waiting for the 765 myself.
(I am not an employee of the above or affiliated with them)

is there a way to have more than one gmapsupp file . 3rd party so they cant be built in mapsource.

I have a Nuvi 260 that I bought in June 2007.

I use it about once to twice a week and normally plug it in while in use, although my charger has a tendancy to pull out of the outlet in the car, so it isn't always charging.

When I went to NV last december, i could get 4-6 hours out of a full charge.

I was just wondering what the best accuracy you have ever gotten on your Nuvi was. With my 750, and without an external satellite antenna I was getting about 20 ft. of accuracy. With my Gibson high gain antenna plugged in, I consistently get within 8 ft. of accuracy. Considering that's shorter then my car, I'm pretty pleased with that.

I just downloaded the rest stops file and noticed that there are icons and voice alerts available but I can't figure out how to download them. Thanks for the help.
