Scenic Route

The Garmin units I had before I got my 680 (GPS-196 and GPS-296) had the ability to select "scenic" routes whereby you could avoid dull freeway drives. Wonder why Garmin didn't include this feature on the Nuvi's?

GARMIN NUVI 255 VS NUVI 350

what are the differences. which is best

POI loading

I have a Garmin C340 unit and have a question. I've been experimenting with loading POIs into my unit and have run up a situation which I don't quiet understand. I can load Cracker-Barrel, Walmart, Pizza Hut, and Wendys into my unit easily (approximately 14,000 points) but if I try to add McDonalds (another 13,500) points it says it don't have enough space.

Hello and Thank You POI factory

Im new to GPS (My first Nuvi 760). I have a new driving area (Field serv tech)

I just wanted to say THANKS. You answered every question I had in your FAQ's and the POI's files are awesome. I paid my 20 and DL'd the Red light and Speed traps. I also DL'd a few others, but I just wanted to say you folks are very much appreciated.

Thanks

poi s

can you save the custom pois from a c330 to my computer i lost the ones i had so instead of downloading them all again i thought it would be easier to load them from the gps if possible

Travel to Italy

Has any one used the Europe SD card in Italy? I will be taking a tour in Late September and will do a self guided tour in Rome. How good is the Map for walking around downtown Rome and other cities?

Any help/opinion will be appreciated.

Nuvi 200

Does the nuvi 200 have a off road setting to possible use on the trail?

Communicator Plugin 2.6.1.0.

We've been using Communicator Plugin version 2.5.2 along with Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 and Google Maps to download special locations to the Favorites folder in our Garmin 260 for quite some time with no problems. Today, for some reason, everything just seemed to stop....no more option to send to GPS from Google Maps.

Nuvi 660 freezes up once in a while

every once in a while my 660 freezes up. to unfreeze it I have to unplug the cig adapter and plug it back in. it starts back up and works fine.

anybody have this problem? wondering if I should send it in for repairs. I got it last november and updated to 2009 maps when they were released. this problem happened before the update as well.

Replacing Battery nuvi 650

I have a NUVI 650. Some day I'll need to change the battery, but it works fine now. I see batteries sold online within reason. But, how do you remove the old and replace the new battery in the unit without damaging it. It does not seem obvious how to open the case.

Google maps and my Nuvi 750

I go to google maps and get directions from point A to point B. I then modify the directions to suit my own preferrences. NOW HOW CAN I TRANSFER THIS NEW MAP DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO MY GARMIN. I GO TO SEND AND I CAN ONLY E-MAIL THE DIRECTIONS.I CAN NOT SEND THEM TO MY GPS LIKE I COULD SEND A POI. CAN ANYBODY HELP

Thanks

nuvi 760

Just received a refurbished nuvi 760 last week and am happy as to the features it has.
Am a bit disappointed because the internal memory is only 2 GB (I think the 770 has 4 GB) but my 4 GB SD fits into it so that's fine.

Anyone find a way to view your Garmin screen on your PC?

Birthday gift

My granddaughter is turning 16 next month and is getting her drivers license in Washington State. We are getting her a GPS preferably a Garmin. I am wondering what model would be the best for her considering she does need to have blue tooth capability because the State requires hands free cell phone use.
Would appreciate some suggestions from you all.

Security Location in 2D or 3D?

My Nuvi 260 arrives Monday; It is my 2nd GPS, but my first "ground" unit. My other one is an Aviation GPS...

I've been reading a lot of posts here, including the threads on the Security Location feature, the usefulness of the feature and the best locations to use for setting this on one's unit.

Show only Specific POIs

Hi,

Just got a garmin nuvi 200. Still trying to get used to it.

I was wondering if there is a way to show only a certain category of POIs on the map. I've searching for hours, but haven't found how to set this up.

I am mostly interested in showing gas stations ONLY. I could care less about the other 5.9 million POIs during my daily commute.

NUVI 880 POI files

Hello all,

Is there a trick for loading the .CSV red light and Speeding files into a NUVI 880?

forum ?

After posting, is there an easy way to get back to the garmin talk page? Every time i have to click on discussion, then garmin talk. the other link takes me to unread posts, which i don't care about. Thanks.
