Garmin talk

I'm having trouble unzipping zipped files to move into my Garmin POI file on my computer. Also, I can't get GTX files to load either. What am I doing wrong?

I updated my nuvi 760 to 4.00.
I was having some problems, so I wanted to backdate to 2.90, just to see if it was a problem with 4.00.

I ran the nuvi760_290.exe file, and it seemed to download to the device ok, but when I dissconnected from my computer and power up the nuvi it doesn't update the firmware.

I've made several attemps, but 4.00 remains.

Any help?

I just purchased a Nuvi 760. This is my first GPS unit. Even though I am computer literate, I am a novice when it comes to these devices. I was able to successfully load a POI using the POI Loader, and adding new vehicke icons. However, I am unable to load a bmp icon. I thought I had followed the instructions posted at "How Do I Load BMP Icons into my Garmin GPSr", but I have had no luck.

Well it happened. In the midst of trip an in a traffic jam, up popped a message saying that the sat lock was gone. And so it continued off and on for a week.
When I got home, I contacted product support and to make a long story short, sent it in for repair. I'm GPS-less until they send it back.

My 660 seems lately to be unreliable on ETA when there are traffic warnings. The ETA will jump 20-30 minutes on a 40 minute trip. Has anyone else seen this?

I had my first opportunity to drive past a Red Light camera this morning. My Nuvi 260 alerted me via audio, but I did not get a red screen and text telling me what the alert was for. I just got this unit a few days ago and the Red Light POI is not the one available here, but is just the four cameras we have here in Tucson.

A couple of days this past week (Not every time I power up my Nuvi 760) I got a message 'your traffic subscription is about to expire. Then 2 instructions after that: (1)click here for more information, (2) do not show this message again.

When I hit (1) it says: no traffic subscriptions to display. ???????

Has anyone else noticed inaccuracy of finding locations since Loading the new 2009 Map?
I am considering trying to go back to the 2008 Map due to erroneous directions. I did not have this issue with the 2008 Map. I have heard one other person so far with the same issue. Thanks for your response!

My NUVI 250W is an Australian. Just arrived in Europe (Ireland) on holiday with the full Europe mapset.

The first thing I noticed was that everything just worked - how good is that!

In browsing the product area on the Garmin web sit I came across a listing for nüvi® 785T. In fact on the filter bar under series it had 705 listed. I click on the option and it listed 755T, 765T, 775T and 785T. The feature is lane guidance.

Hi all,

I had a Nuvi 200W, and got rid of it for a 205W, which is MUCH better in terms of satellite fix. It's almost instantaneous as opposed to waiting up to 3 minutes with the 200W.

Garmin has just released some new nuvi 2x5 and 7x5 series GPS receivers. Both series will include Bluetooth and lifetime traffic. The 7x5s will include Lane Assist. Check out the two read links at the end of this article for more info:

Just run the updater and found a new update for the Nuvi 650.

Hey all, new user of a nuvi 760. First, thanks for the great information on the site. I wanted to see if anyone has experienced what I have for the 760 and battery charging. I'm using the friction mount with the traffic receiver cable that came with the 760 plugged into the cradle. The lighter plug end is lit green, so I'm reasonably certain there is power to it.

I am new i try to load poi through loader from garmin site. but every thing is fine but when i want to slect the poi file csv or gpx file the folder it contain does not open i just slect folder . can any one help me.

Hello everybody,

A little technical questions for all of you, garmin specialists or MP3 music fans.

I have many differents types of songs on a SD Card that I use on my garmin 660. Many of those songs had been downloaded without any inscription in the properties in the type/style field (Rock, Disco, Techno, etc.).

I was wondering if any of you are using a "Garmin Vent Mount". I purchased this on Ebay. It is a double clip mount that attaches to a "vane" of your heater/air vent. It keeps it low, out of sight and looks more installed. I personally love it!

How I can organize my custom POI? I ahve all downloaded files (restaturats, shoppings, etc) under "All Categories". I want to have sub-categories, like restaurants, shoppings, electronics, etc.

I have a Graming 350

Thanks in advance
