Garmin talk

I bought a Nuvi 350 over a year ago at Best Buy, and against my better judgement bought the 4 year service plan for an additional $53. Well it paid of in spades today!!

I have another question. I named my Nuvi 680, “Edna” because her voice reminds me of Edna on the Incredibles when she says “Recalculating”.

Is it possible to down load Sean Connery’s voice?

Thanks

Not really a bug, but I updated the firmware on my C330.

When I first turned it on after updating, it listed the Max Speed at 225mph - I didn't know my Chrysler Pacifica could hit those speeds.

I cleared it and it works perfectly.

Ok I'm new to all this GPS stuff so I'm sorry if this has been answered already. I've searched through here but I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. I'm trying to do this update: map update 2009.exe. But I keep getting a message that says I don't have enough free space and that I need an additional 42 MB to continue. What do I need to do?

I have a Garmin Street Pilot 7200. I was wondering if there is any way I can receive prompts from my GPS to tell me that I am entering a new state/province/territory. Would it be an option to activate in my GPS or would I need an external aid or product to do this?

Hi all! Im a newbie Nuvi 680 owner. My first and only GPS. Im not seing my custom POI's on the 3d map. What am i doing wrong? (Its ok on the top view.)

Thanks!

I have a Nuvi 200W.
Is there a way to simulate a route, without using your current location as the starting point?

Like, entering a starting and ending coordinates/ address, to simulate a route.

Does anyone have a POi for the USA locations?!

thanks

I posted this in a thread, which was not relevant, so I decided to move it here.

So there seem to be a number of basemaps that come in NUVI series GPSes, with Garmin Mobile XT and now the Colorado series. Has anyone tried mixing and matching basemap files?

I just noticed when passing by a cemetery that all the lanes, or roadways in the cemetery was marked by a dotted line instead of the standard roadway marking. Has anyone else notice this? I wouldn't have thought that a mapping company would have picked those up.

Could someone make a Icon for a zoo, please.

thanks

Has anybody had any problems trying to order the disk for the 09 update?

I have a new 750 and have found trying to use the FM transmitter to be very frustrating. Seems to me it is almost useless. I have a Subaru outback and the antenna is on the back window which may make it more difficult. Anyone else having the same problem or thinks it works wonderful?

Took advantage of the recent REI sale and bought an eTrex Vista HCx

A few things to mention:

The satellite reception is amazing. I get a lock very fast, indoors and in rooms not even close to a window. Amazing!

On several posts it has been stated that before you perform certain actions you should backup all files that are on your GPSr. I have a NUVI 350 loaded with CNNA NT 2009. I have the 2009 disc and MapSource is on my computer with both 2008 and 2009 maps. Would someone please explain why I should do a backup?

I recieved a new refurbished 760 from garmin, i noticed this screen does not look as good, or clear as my original, seems like the sharpness, and contrast is low. It looks a little blurry, fuzzy. I think you can change some settings from holding the screen, are any of these changes changeable? thank you.

I have been using my nüvi 670 for about a year and the weirdest thing started happing with my red light camera voice announcement. These are the file names loaded in:
Redlight-Cameras.csv
Redlight-Cameras.mp3
Redlight-Cameras.BMP

Just wondering if anyone has experienced this problem - traveling thur Mempis this last weekend I was using my traffic reciever - everything showing fine (construcion, congestion etc) however as I approached the I-240/I-55 interchange there was an accident that apparently had just happened with EMS personnel on scene however my traffic reciever did not show this nor indicate such had occurred - tr

Does anyone know whether the routing algorithm for the Garmins' resides in the maps? I was comparing the routing offered by NT 2008 & NT 2009 and notice minor differences in the routing.

I recall reading somewhere that upgrades to 2009 maps has resulted in some changes to routing - not always better though.
