Garmin talk

I see on Garmin's site that a ton of 6xx series NUVIs all have firmware updates as of May 5th with the exception of the 650 which isn't even listed.

Does anyone have any insight into this? I thought 650 and 660 were similar from a firmware perspective.

thx,

Just a quick note to at least the nuvi 750 folks that a new firmware update is available. I've done it and all seems well.

On my Nuvi 660, I successfully paired my Motorola Razr and made calls, both incoming and outgoing, even using voice dial. Then when I came back to the car the 3rd time, no phone. Had to re-pair the phone to the Nuvi. Is this normal? Anyway to avoid this problem?

I created a gpx file using easy gps and plugged in the coordiantes and transfered it to the unit with poi loader. However, something goes flakey once it is transfered. I pull the up the poi on the unit and all the poi's show 3.1m from my current location and same direction. Did I do something wrong here?

Here's my complex situtation. I have 3 seperate gpx files, Dallas, Houston and Austin. When I use POI loader, nuvi 350 displays those 3 files seperately under Custom POI. I would like to have one folder that says Texas under Custom POI; then when you click into that have subfolders that say the cities.

Garmin has a site, www.garmin.com/nuvifone. It shows an iphone like device that is a NUVI gps, cell phone, and pda. Anyone have a clue as to what operating system is on it? I wonder if it will support MS Active sync? I am also wondering if it will be a good replacement for a regular NUVI. So far, the Garmin Mobile XT is ok, but it is no NUVI., just not fast enough...

I've tried several times to download the 2009 update from Garmin for my nui 660.

It seem to download and extract files, but then I get a message saying an internet connection cannot be found and everything locks up. Has anyone else experienced this an d if so, has anyone found a fix

thanks

I flew to NY City this past weekend. I carried my Nuvi 660 on board. Out of curiosity, I turned it on hoping to find my location up in the air. I flipped the antenna open. After 20 minutes, the GPS still tried to locate the satellite. I finally turned it off. It was a cloudless day. I have seen some postings here about using the GPS on board a plane. What did I do wrong?

As we know the c330 will not hold all of the North American maps, if you purchase the 2009 update could you save the maps to a SD card using mapsource to get all of North America in one place?

what custom POI's do you have on your GPSr?!

Has any one had problems on 05/03 or 05/04 with reception in your area?

Sorry about this question but, where do i go to update the software (if it's even necessary), and to get the new maps?
Do i still have to purchase them?? I got this as a gift this past Christmas (12-07)

It seems we get continued access to red light camera alert updates just for staying up to date in the site such as with discussion. This place is awesome!

Hi - I have seen this discussed before, but my question results from frustration wrt my Nuvi 370 in Montreal (foot). I had already used in Montreal, so no issue of moving 300 miles and such. But when I went to use, I would see 3 strong satellites quite quickly, with the outline (totally unfilled in) of another perhaps 6 or so.

Is it possible to put in all rest areas on a choosen route in a NUVI 360 with icons shown and alarm notification 2 miles before you reach the rest area?

Hi

Hi,

Does anyone here own a Garmin iQue3600? My in law had one and it acted up and no longer display the device ID and thus locked up the map. I wonder if anyone here has seen it before.

FYI, my Nüvi is about 30 days out of warranty and was having some problems. I contacted Garmin and they worked with me on the phone trying to fix the issue. After no results the asked me to send it in and when I asked how much the out of warranty repair would cost the tech told me just send it in and they would fix or replace it at no charge.
