Garmin talk

Unsure which one to buy. What are the differences? Is 368.00 a good deal on the 660?

OK -- this may seem like dumb questions, but after loading a new POI file onto my Garmin Nuvi 200, how do I access the information? I successfully installed a POI file for Rest Areas. Will the new information come up in the menu when I search under Points of Interest under a sub-heading (like "Auto Service")? Or do the Rest Areas automatically appear on the map when I approach one?

I have a Nuvi 660 and recently got a 750. I have been driving around with both to compare.

HOW DO I DOWNLOAD FREE AUDIO LIBRARY BOOKS FROM MY MEDIA PLAYER TO MY GARMIN?
Background:

What model in Garmin GPS that as the electrique connector on the cradle and not like the Nuvi 250W that we have to plug the wire each time, on and off.?

Is it possible to save a route that has a waypoint without having to re-install the waypoint everytime you switch it on. I have a Nuvi 350

Recently got garmin 350. Looking for new funny sounds? Can anyone point me?
Thanks.

Poil Loader worked twice on windows vista now i can not get it to work even after uninstall and reinstall when you go to use it the error message says garmin poi loader stopped working anybody else have this problem

Hi everyone,

I just got my Nuvi 760 which is an upgrade from Tom Tom 5 on my PDA. I noticed that when I select a destination that can be routed using a toll bridge or a free bridge the nuvi does not give you the option to avoid tolls like Tom Tom does. Have I looked over something or does the Nuvi just lack this feature.

Thanks!

PS. This forum is great. I look forward to participating.

Hi to all.

I'm a nubie, and LOVE this site!!

I'm using a nuvi 660 & would like to be able to see where the next truck stop is. I've got the POI files loaded for different truck stops. I can choose them & it'll go there just fine, but I can't seem to get the GPS to display different truck stops along the route I'm on.

I have a Nuvi 350 and have downloaded custom POI's. They are in the nuvi. I have used 3d, north up and up arrow and do not see the POI's ever.

Does anyone have any ideas why?

Billy

Garmin Map Update 2008 - $45

I just saw this on Craigslist (Greensboro NC area). I'm not the seller nor do I know who is.

Well I just ordered my IPHONE anyone out there have any info on pairing it up with my 660 not really how to do it, but i have read mixed reviews on whether or not they are bluetooth conpatable, and really looking for info on if i can play my music from the iphone through the NUVI and FM transmitter to the car speakers, if that makes sense.

A few weeks ago I bought a Nuvi 750? How do I get tracklogs off of it? A quick google search tells me I should use Mapsource, but since Mapsource didn't ship with it (the City Navigator data is builtin), I don't have Mapsource and it won't install.

Ideas?

OK, JUST GOT MY NT CITY NAV. MAPSOURCE, NOW

how do i create waypoints to covert to poi?

thanks for the help??!!

It looks like Garmin has a few new models in their line up. Most, if not all, seem to be scheduled to be released in 2nd quarter of 2008.

Hey guys,

I just got my antenna in the mail. It's required so that I can receive XM radio/Nav-traffic/Weather/Stock updates in addition to being my nav antenna.

I opened the box and noticed that this thing is HUGE. It's like a hockey puck!

So, I'm contemplating mounting locations.

Greetings from a nuvi 750 newbie. I found a few discussions of backing up the Garmin nuvi data to a PC and it seems a very worthwhile idea. I've just backed up my data.
