Garmin talk

I understand that Garmin is no longer making the Nuvi 350.Does anyone know what replaced it?
Thanks

Hello everyone,
I was curious as to the use of the speed camera POI.
I notice that in some areas my Nuvi 660 will warn me that there is a 2 MPH speed alert when I am in a 40MPH zone.Is there a way that I can remove the speed alerts from my nuvi '
Thanks,littleredcat

hey guys, i am looking into purchasing a map update but they are expensive for me.. is there a way to get them discounted AND how different are they from the 08 maps?? in maryland, sections of the new construction by PG is an example.. common sense saved me from getting lost and trying to ignore that ever annoying 'recalculating' and seeing my car floating on the map.

I'm thinking about getting an LG Dare (Verizon). If anyone has this phone and also owns a 760/770/780, could you confirm the following:

1. If the bluetooth pairing works correctly

2. If you can transfer your contacts to the 7xx

Thanks.

Has anyone had any experience trying to pair the HTC (Sprint) Touch with the Nuvi 770. Does it work at all? Can you get the phonebook?

Thanks for your help
Dan

The only change this claims, is the mystical "Enhance compatibility with PC applications".

I'm just about to email Garmin, and ask them to explain what this is - and also to confirm that this update can be removed again, should it introduce problems.

Here are some cases from Speck Products....

I updated to 6.0. Next time I turned on my 350, a screen flashed too quickly for me to read, then screen went blank and stayed that way. Happened each time I turned it on. If I turn on while connected to PC, the same screen stays on so I can read it. It says my map NT 2008, is outdated and should be update. When I press OK, nothing happens. Unit is locked.

On the 660 is there a way to turn up the volume on the poi alert ?

Hi all,

Weird thing happened today, my Nuvi showed about a 500 foot offset from the map to where I really was. The 880 was showing a 25' accuracy on the satellites screen.

This happened one time before in the short time I've had the unit, which is normally reasonably accurate.

It was overcast but I assumed the good accuracy report from the 880 indicated that the overcast condition wasn't having any effect.

Comments?

I have tried Gary Hayman's procedure in his article I've been set up but the set loc option did not appear after tapping Show Map. I followed his example as given in the article. So my question is can I set loc on the Nuvi 350 AND the location is in another state?

Also, what is the difference between setting alerts as single tone vs continuous all alerts from a user perspective.

Thanks,

Hello all, I will be traveling into Canada next week and was wondering if there is anything I should be aware of about using my Nuvi 350 while in country and if there in anything I need to program differently while using my Nuvi - my planned route is from Niagara Falls thru Toronto and out to Alexandria Bay, NY.

Is there some place to get sox that source force try for 2 days and get nothing. thankd

Does the icon for specific POIs (ie Best Buy) only show up on the endpoint?? Or will it show an icon for every store (if I were to pass by one)??

I am making a trip to England next year and trying to find the most reasonable price for the UK/Ireland maps. I have a nuvii 660 and the best price I can find so far is $90.00. Can anybody help with a more reasonable price? Thanks in advance.

I just uploaded the camera POI files to my Garmin660. Do I need to do anything to activate them or is it automatic. This is my first GPS.

Have a street pi;ot c330, want to know if there is web site avail (Garmin?) that will show a user tricks of the trade on usage and or topics?
Thank you.

I have a Nuvi 760, running on a MacBook Pro, both systems new to me. I just downloaded the cvs file for rest areas. I get that I need to use the POI Loader from Garmin to get this info into the unit. I guess my two questions are:
Where do I put this file; in the unit? In internal memory or on my SD Card?
And will this show up on the main screen so I can activate for my chosen route?

Hello all,

Hopefully I posted this at the right place...

On the 660 how do you know what Zoom Level you are at ?
