Garmin talk

What do I do when my GPS (260W) is unable to locate a satellite? I gave up after 10 minutes, ansd shut it down. I restarted, but situation did not change. The picture on my map was the car'socation when I selected a via point anbout 3 hours earlier, at which point I turned off the GPS. It was when I restarted it and selected a new destination with Where To that the problem arose.

I installed the traffic cam POI and sometimes I get warnings that cover the entire screen and other times I get warnings that are small little red "boxes" at the top of the map that don't cover the screen.

This for for those with compatible NUVIs.

There are multiple ways to build routes using MapSource.

1. One is to use only a start point and end point.

2. Another is to build waypoints and then let MapSource make a route from them.

3. Way 3 is to use the "Rubber Band" method.

And there are probably more.

Has anybody installed voices from pig tones for a Street Pilot 350. I am intrigued by the voices, but worried about it locking up my unit.

I have recently bought a SD-card with additional maps for my Nüvi 760. The unit is reading the card without any problems and I can see the new maps on the screen. The unit can however not find any single address on the new card / maps when I try to get directions. When I try the same SD-card in my Nüvi 770 I don't have any problems at all - Does anybody have an idea what could be the problem?

Help!

So I'm going to get a nuvi 360 with a 4GB sandisk SD card soon. I know that you can put JPEG images and mp3 musics into the card, but can you also put map .IMG files into the card and get it to load into the nuvi?
Because I'm planning to update to the NT 2009 map but also would like to keep the old map as well.

As a new owner of a 760 I have been experimenting with routes. It seems that the only way I can force the 760 to use a particular road is to set a via point. But then I have a flag on the display and it announces "approaching Smith road" when I'm already on Smith road.

Hello! I'm a new Nuvi 660 owner and am trying to figure out exactly how everything works. I've used POI Loader to load all the Sam's Club locations(just for fun). I'm wondering if there is a way to search the custom POIs at the same time as I'm searching the pre-loaded POIs.

I have a NUVI 350 for about a year and a half and I am not thrilled with it for a number of reasons. I would like to buy a different brand as a gift for my wife and saw the this at Buy.com http://tinyurl.com/4fl57o
Does anyone here have experience with the Naxtar brand. The price and features look like a perfect inexpensive package.

I made my first POI using Google Earth for the coordinates then added alot of info using Excel like the address and phone number but when I load it to my Garmin Nuvi 200, it has the info, but not the "Go" button. Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

I have a Garmin 780 and I love the unit. Last week on a vacation trip to Colorado, I never received audible notification of traffic hazads that I approched. I know that the MSN device is working because of other information that MSN is providing to the 780.

Is there a problem with MSN Traffice Alert or do I need to change a setting?

I downloaded some waypoints to my unti via google maps. When I click on them thru "my locations" then click on view map it shows the name of my waypoint in a double text or text with a shadow behind it. ANyone know what this might be?

Hey quick question I have the NT 2009 map on the nuvi 350 but I'm going to recieve a nuvi 360 soon, can I transfer the map over? Also I'm going to get a cassette adapter. Do you guy prefer a specific brand?

Loaded rvpark listing to nuvi but there is no icon for parks? How do I find the locations?

I have downloaded the Garmin POI Loader, but when I click on it to open it, it will not open up.I have uninstalled and reinstalled it twice. No luck. I have the Windows Vista OS. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I wonder how Navteq verifies submissions sent in by users. I sent in a correction in December and they responded to my submission a couple days ago stating nothing will be done and it has been determined their database is correct. Hmmmm, considering the road that isn't listed in Mapsource and shows up on my Nuvi as not being there is indeed there and has been for two years.

OK. I'm new to this GPS POI file thing. I've figured out how to load the POI files in my Garmin 260W, but how do you attach the Icon files to a database? For example I just downloaded the Starbucks files and icon.

I recently bought a Nuvi 770 for both personal and business use. I drive a Tow Truck and was wondering if there are any programs i can load up on my NUVI to advise me of commercial truck routes. I know one of my other drivers uses a garmin street pilot and i believe that unit has a truck feature in it and is pretty good with the truck routes. Any help with this will be greatly appriciated.

My Nuvi 750 will display the posted speed limit on major roads. I would say it is 95%+ right most of the time. It is fun to look at but can you do anything with it?
