Garmin talk

Is it possible to change the proximity alert for red light cameras to an MP3 on a Nuvi 350? Thanks.

Ok...I am a newbie with our first gps..garmin750. We are fulltime rv'ers. I have downloaded some of the campgrounds in the campground forums but I would like to know if there is a way I can just find all of them on our gps without putting in a specific location? Please excuse me if this is not the correct forum to post this question.

What is kinda cool is to turn off your Garmin and simulate routes to places. If tou pay attention to it you can find Mcdonalds,Kfc locations etc.

I did a search and couldn't find any answers relating to this. I did find the black squares are supposed to be default POI's.

IS it true that nuvi 7 lineup has the limit speed showing for freeways? Anyway, previous model can have this? or any speed limits showing for local too?(which I think is more useful). Thanks,

Any issues with updating the Garmin 350 to firmware version 5.3?

Hi all,

Just to pass on this info:

After about 6 months, my C530 on the beanbag mount started sliding around (and off of) the dash on turns. The bottom didn't feel tacky anymore, and I suspected it had become coated with a layer of fine dust.

Garmin support suggested cleaning it with a mild hand soap.

I am trying help a friend of mine get a 2610 setup for use on his 2007 HD FLHTCI. Got almost everything he needs but am unsure of the patch cable that will run between the audio plug-in on the motorcycle power cable to the radio on the bike. His bike has the newer radio that HD is using made by Harmon-Kardon.

Can someone point me to the patch cable??

instead of SD card. How do you remove them without messing something up! I guess I'm too quick on the trigger because I have loaded some POIs that I cannot remove using the POI Loader. Can someone please help me?

Thanks

Being new to GPS I have been playing with my new nuvi 260. The problem that I am having is it is telling me to turn left and then it recalculates back to the orignal street. The street that this has happened on is a straight run to my house. It made this error twice in different locations on the same trip. Today, I went on a 12 mile trip to a known store.

I use a shortcut to go to work (i go through a parking lot). is there anyway to change the map so it shows that road? i've used tomtom and tomtom showed the road and guided me through it. Shouldn't the maps be of the same acuracy? they use the same agencies, right?

Just found out this good deal: "amazon.com Friday Sale - Garmin StreetPilot c580 Portable GPS Navigator $269.99 Free Shipping, Mar. 14 6 AM

1 day only. amazon.com has their Friday sale on. Free super saver shipping."

This is good deal if 3.5" is your option and don't forget that C580 comes one year free with MSN traffic info.

Hi,
Does anyone know an easier way to know, how many miles i will be travelling, if I put an address into my nuvi 680. Right now I have to go through all the directions (on the bottom right of the device and see the last direction to see total miles to be travelled)

Wondering if any of you friendly people knew of a good audio book web site

Thanks

I am planning a trip to the BWCA and I have found some custom poi's. Can I few these in the garmin software or can I only view them on the unit itself. I have tried a few different things and searching a few things but I cant figure it out. I would like to be able to plan my trip then just upload it on my unit later.

Please let me know if this makes any sense at all.

I will be traveling from Baton Rouge, LA to Georgetown, TX. So I just ran a get directions on Google, Mapquest, and Yahoo and compared to my Garmin suggested route (Map Version 2008). Three different results came up. Google and Mapquest agree, and the others are different. I am now wondering which route is the best to take.

I didn't see this posted yet, but Garmin is coming out with a new Unit with MSN direct V2. http://www.spotstop.com/default.asp?newsID=192 It looks pretty cool with the enhanced features.

From www.spotstop.com:

Maybe this a dumb question... But i was wondering if you can put custom BMP files on your Garmin and use them for factory POI...like say i want to Use the Burgerking BMP from the site and i what to set it to show up on my GPS whenever i am near a Burgerking...is it possible and if so How?

Thanks
