Is there a way on the 660 that I can add poi's without deleting the poi's I have in there already ?

Maybe just me, but is there a way to manually set a timezone other than the few pre-defined cities that come with the unit?

I've used other nav units and have found by starting an address search zip codes narrowed my search quite a bit, can Garmin's do this or does anyone know why they don't include them beside "State"?

Nuvi 760 Locking Up

I just called Garmin about my 760 locking up and he (Joel) told me he had never heard of the problem before.

Sounds like Garmin is in denial about the issue.

I would like to see how many of you have this problem and reported it to garmin.

I've got a nuvi 205w. I just got it and started playing around
with it. I discovered that it plots your course in the
Garmn/GPX/Current.GPX file. I'm not sure how large that file
will get... I just reset it the other day and now I have
176 trkpt entries. This is from my office to my home (30-ish
miles. )

I wrote a small script to take the trkpt entries from the

Is there a file so i can know where the expressway exits are at? Like the nearest expressway entrance wherever i am?? Thanks...

P.s. I am in the Chicagoland area

HI! Everyone, First off I'd just like to say that the help here is fantastic.. I have been playing around with the voices on my Nuvi and kinda fell in love with karen.. tho karen doesn't seem to have as big of lungs as Jill does... Jill is always nice and loud. Where's karen sometimes seems to be whispering.. is there anyway to increase the volume output of the voice files?

Thanks

Hello, I'm new at this POI thing. I downloaded a POI file on my Nuvi 350 using the POI loader. There was a dialog box congratulating me on the success of the download to the Garmin. However, I can't find the file. The manual says that it should be under "my locations", but it's not there. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi everyboby,

I would like to have your opinion on this :

I'm on the road, listening to the MP3 songs from SD Card of my Garmin Nuivi 660.

If i go thrue a zone where i have an alert listed, the music stop, i hear the correct MP3 personal alert from my POI, and then the music start to play BUT not where it has been stopped but at the beggining of the song(re-start the song).

I used an iGuidance with my PDA and it had a neat feature called Speed Alert, it beeped when you went over the roads speed limit. I assume that the Nuvi has knowledge of the speed limits which is probably used to calculate the ETA time. Can I load something on it to give me a speed alert?

I recently got a Nuvi 200 last week. I used it in New Jersey area and now in Toronto, Canada. We have the 401 highway (and some other highways) were there are Express lanes and Collector lanes. I know I have chosen Faster route as the navigation option. However, I find that the Nuvi always takes me through the Collector lanes.

Yo guys I am sorry fo being a real a-hole last night

anyway Im looking into a nuvi 5000 i like its wide screen and it features what do u guys think of it

Has anyone noticed that the cost of the MSN GDB-50 power cable ($119.99) costs less than the FM Traffic GTM-20 power cable ($214.27). You can buy a Nuvi 760 for around $400 with the more expensive traffic cable & the Nuvi 780 sells for about $570 with the cheeper MSN cable.

If I remember correctly last summer (2007)I traveled to Yellowstone from Indiana and I could swear there was a category for campgrounds in the Garmin map data that I used several times. I have recently updated to the 2009 map and there is no campground listing except for a few under lodgings. Campgrounds that I found and visited last year are no longer in the map data.

I have the Nuvi 350. I see on the Map settings, Map Outlines (which is set to ON). I checked the manual, it just mentions to turn it on and off. What does it do?
I know the others, Detail, View, and Vehicle.

I am having a problem with the updated Dunken Donut POI. I have been using POI since April and have never had a problem with the 16 POI (including Dunken Donuts)in the past. Today, I was updating the rest area, red lights and a few others. They all loaded ok.

So I have multiple Garmin Nuvi units, but only one laptop. I installed Mapsource on it. I want to update the maps on each unit and have unlock keys for each unit. Do you simply add multiple unlock codes and it will automatically determine the appropriate unlock key needed for the specific unit? Or do I need to delete one key before adding another?

Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone has loaded the lake maps on the street pilot 340 with any sucess and how did they look. Ihad spoke with Garmin and they said that they would load but I would have decreased detail. I don't care about the depths I want to be able to save locations on the water and plot to them. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know where I could buy a "bean bag support " for a Garmin 650 in the Vancouver BC area.
I'm tired of the window support falling off.
