Garmin talk

HI all, Quite happy with the Nuvi 760, but have a query. I've organized a route of about 6 POI. The Nuvi arranged them in the most appropriate order. While visiting each route, some of the POI were either 50 or 100 meters out of the way, which is quite acceptable, I believe, as some of them were downloaded on my SD card from POI factory.

I was shopping at Sams Club yesterday and noticed that they have a Nuvi 750 for $300 dollars, Is that a good price for that model?

Hi all,

Could anyone tell me how to update the C340 with the Garmin City Navigator North America NT 2009 version? When I try to do it it asks me to have a SD card. Can I overwrite(flash) the existing 2008 version on the internal memory? If so, How do it do that?

If I cant? Will the C340 support a 4gb SDHC card?

Thanks in advance.

I did a lot of reading to determine which GPS to buy and settled on the nuvi 750. I am very happy with it except for one thing, the mapping game.

Making Directional POIs

You can make directional POIs on divided highways, such as interstates and any other 4 or more lanes divided road that shows as 2 separate roads on your Nuvi or MapSource. These lanes will normally show xxx N, xxx S, xxx E or xxx W when you put your cursor on them.

So has anyone experienced this yet? I had several European and US POI's on Hard drive and MP3 files on hard drive and SD card. I got on a plane the other day and the MP3 files are now missing, only the folder names of the European files are displayed with no files found inside and only the US POI's are still there? Why would the US files remain and the European files and MP3's dissapear?

has anyone tried Garmin Mobile PC with GPS 20x ?

anyone have the same occasional stuttering ?
what can i do about it ?

I have Garmin GPS on my kenwood tv deck. I can't put in coordinates. Doesnt seem to be a place to do that. Does anyone know of updates to be able to do that?

I just got my garmin nuvi 200w and was going to update the map to the 2009 but the map updater kept telling me that i didnt have enough room to do it. so in my infinate wisdom i went in and deleted the jpegs that were in it from the factory which isnt bad but then i deleted all the voice files and now i dont have any voices.

Just loaded the POI loader and am trying to figure out where to go from here.
L.A. Times had a POI file for red light cameras, but the garmin loader didn't recognize its format.

What is the usual format for these files?
The one that got downloaded from the L.A. Times site had the peculiar title:
LA County Redlight Cameras.csv.txt

Heads Up:

City of Austin Texas will launch Red Light Camera operations on Memorial Day Weekend. See attached link.

I'm having a problem trying to buy maps online from Garmin because I live in Canada. They only ship to the States. How do you get them as I am planning a trip to Europe?

Does anyone know what the cheapest Garmin is that you can still upload POI's to? I was thinking NUVI but I'm not sure.

I looking for something that is cheap and is easy to add/remove poi's and includes ability to add poi's info under search options.

Thanks

Hi, I have a Nokia phone with GarminXT installed and Fodor POIs installed. The .gpi file of Fodor is already showing up in the XT and I can access it no problem. However, none of the restaurants are showing up on the map as icons. Can I get them to pop up as icons?

I am new here and added a few POI to my Garmin c580 , I go to extra's to access the POI I added and screen comes up blank . Help

I just read where Garmin will be coming out with a cell phone. Seeing their interface on the Nuvi I thought this might be a natural progression. I think they could have a winner if they are careful about it and listen to all the feedback from there experience with their GPS devices.

Perhaps this is old news. I saw Firmware v.4.40 for Nuvi 660 on Garmin website. Based on past experience with Garmin's problem prone version updates, I have a couple questions:

1. What are new in ver 4.40?
2. Have you encountered any issues? If there were issues, what were they? Any work-arounds?

I updated the BT firmware to v3.10

Release notes says it fixes the random auto disconnect experience... I did get this experience all the time, but they did not correct the garbage characters I get in caller ID.

Does anyone else get garbage caller ID?

I have an extra Garmin DVD 2009 update map if anyone is interested. Never been put in the computer or taken out of its case. Contact me farrissr@comcast.net.
