Garmin talk

Took my 360 to the big city yesterday. It led me to try to take a left on a no left turn intersection. I've had this same thing happen with MapQuest maps.

On the way out, it led me to an overpass to leave the city. As I got up onto the overpass, it seemed to suddenly switch to trying to navigate the streets below the overpass.

Understandable, but felt weird.

Can I wire my 660 direct into 12V - without using the FM receiver built into the 12v plug that it comes with ?

Hello I am trying to find topo maps for my Garmin of Patagonia. Specifically the Torres Del Paine area. I have tried the 3rd party vendors on the Garmin site and they are unresponsive. If anyone has a source it would be much appreciated. Thanks

i recently purchased a garmin 660 na and upon entering a four digit password i wasnt paying attention and now i cannot use it because i dont remember it ...help please . i need to reset it if possible.

I installed the new version and now when I run it, I am getting a message that it cannot find "sox.exe" and will not work.

Any idea?

Need help installing a backup camera to a StreetPilot 7200 in my Volvo wagon

I have the Garmin 360 and tried loading custom POI's onto a SD card. When I put the sd card into the 360 it does not show up. When I load the same POI's straight into the 360 I can see " custom POI" under .
Before I go crazy I want to know if the 360 can use POI's from an SD card.

Thanks
Jim

Following this story: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/10198
Garmin is facing a lawsuit from another company, claiming trademark violations for use of the word Nuvifone. That company, Nuvio Corp., also wants the name NUVI dropped from any device made by Garmin. That story is from http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/27/garmins-nuvifone-comes-un...

Has anyone tried using any of those solar powered chargers for a nuvi? Like solio.com, power monkey or any others?

Hey all, I just posted some new POI files with all the public BioDiesel sights in the USA. I posted a full USA list and regional lists. Hopefully these are helpful. I am still looking to create a list of regular diesel stations as well. Thanks, kdehaan...

I've noticed that the phone numbers for custom POI's are often cut off on their information page. I'm concerned mostly with RV Parks, but it probably happens with others too. Addresses come first and are usually complete. I have the nuvi 200. Would the widescreen show complete phone numbers?

Hello, I am new to the Garmin GPS world and am having problems with certain POIs not notifying me with the Proximity Alerts. They all seem to load correctly, some do notify me and others do not. Has anybody else experienced this or is there something I am doing wrong? Also, I am not getting any icons or sounds showing up with my POIs, is this due to the lack of capability on a nuvi 260w?

I wish my Nuvi had the capabability to set a switch on how many times an alarm would go off.

Say I had a rest stop on an interstate.. from the rest stop file...

Then I could set up say 2,000 feet for the alram to go off and then set this other switch for it to go off only one time. I could set the switch to any number I guess... but I would like to be able to set it to 1.

I want to get the distancxe and time from one location to another location, but it always starts me a my home site. how do i do lthis?a

Im tying to find out what frequinces msndirect is using and if they are horizontal or verticaly polirized does any one know?

i know this question has been asked before can any one help me.

i have loaded low bridges on my garmin with the poi loader
