Garmin talk

I'm testing out which GPS is best to use while on the road as a truck driver. I'm currently checking out a TomTom 720 and a Garmin 750. I really like being able to set up a alert that a scale is 3 miles out on my current route. This gives me plenty of time to get in the correct lane even in heavy traffic.

Does anyone know where I can find an aircraft vehicle icon for my Garmin 200w? Any winged plane would do.

I had a Nuvi 680, and ordered the maps update disk from Garmin. Before receiving the disk, the unit had signal issues. Best Buy offered me Nuvi 780 instead (under their extended warranty, since they did not have 680 in stock. Needless to say that I gladly accepted their offer.

What are some of the better downloads I should be looking to add? I think I would like a good Red Light Camera POI, but are there any others that are really good?

Still a noob

If I buy one copy of the map updates, could I put it on both my Nuvi 260 and 350?

Have downloaded it and will take it for a spin.

So I just came back from a trip to Long Island from MA. I hate driving route 95, so I always want to take the parkways. But I also want a reminder for the turn, so with my nuvi 350, I have to put in a waypoint.

How do you find that waypoint?

Well, you can do it by looking at the map, and then clicking on an area, but I find that cumbersome. You have to find the road you want visually.

My wife had my Nuvi 760 and has Onstar (personal calling). Anyways, I called her and was talking and she told me the Nuvi went bonkers... I have the TourGuide setup with alerts and the alert was going sounding over and over.. I relegated to a conflict with frequencies...

I called her on the cell phone while the NUVI was on and all was fine.. Thoughts?

I hate to buy yet another GPS but for critical navigation in our RV (diesel truck and 26 ft 5th whl) but our Nuvi 760 does not seem to support nRoute. we use a laptop with a large screen that enables us to more easily see the exits.

My Nuvi 360 always takes me the really long way to get on a certain freeway by my house. The problem is that it gets confusing as it makes me get on another freeway before getting on the freeway I want.

Is there a way to program it so my shorter, better route comes up instead when accessing this freeway?

I have found quite a few of Garmin's POI's that were bad.
A Starbucks in a residential house??
Business' that have been gone for years!

Is there any way that I can delete them one by one, or change the information to reflect the proper location?

Thanks,

Bill

so i finally know how to put sounds in my garmin 760 this may sound like a stupid question but how does it work when i pass by a starbucks it will know i'm passing one?

I've just gotten this unit and cannot find any info on how many POI are loaded.

My better half was skeptical of the purchase, but she is now on a trip with her mother and took it with her -- I am missing my wife, but I really need Jill back!

I have been unable to get my Garmin nRoute Program to see our new 760. Am I doing something wrong, or is nRoute not supported in the 760?
Thanks
Bill

Weird thing happened today with my Nuvi 350. I had my Nuvi set to take me home when I noticed I needed gas. So I found a gas station with the Nuvi and set it as a Via Point. It brought me to the gas station and afterwords continued to my original POI (Home).

My Nuvi 680 had maps and POI'S accidentally deleted, how do I fix it?

Nuvi 300/350 (WebUpdater) software version 5.60 just showed up today.

Changes made from version 5.50 to 5.60:
*Fixed issue where fleet management interface messages can get stuck in the outbox
*Improve handling of the situation where overlapping map data is present on the device.

Still didn't fix the linebreak problem. Garmin really got on top of that ... they've known about the problem over a year and a half, still nothing done!

RT

it seems that the voice prompt is a bit late (garmin 350), sometimes too late. wonder if there's way we could change the timing of the prompt. or do we have to get used to it? Thanks in advance.
