Garmin talk

Does anyone know how to use dashboard disk for Garmin? I want to set my nuvi on the car's console but I don't know how to use dashboard disk. Thank you.

i want to update my garmin nuvi 350 with uk maps where could i buy this from.

I just went to the Garmin web site and did a comparison of the Nuvi 760 and the Nuvi 780. They did not identify a single difference between these two units for the >$100 MSRP difference. What is the difference between these two units?

Thank you

This sounds like the bargain of year! It's refurbished, but still quite a discount. Buy.com is selling the Garmin Nuvi 360 for just $218.05!

Dose anyone use these? i would think the heat/cold would not be good for a gps unit.

I know this has been discussed a lot, for the Nuvis, but I don't know if I have seen anything specific on the C330 and C340 for the friction "beanbag" mounts. From what I have seen in the pictures, the beanbag mounts for the Nuvi has the arm and ball attachment but the C330 and C340 have the mount with the three pin clip-on connection and have the power connection integrated into the mount.

HSN has the Garmin 750 on special for $299.95, usually $399.95. Interesting. Not sure how long this sale will continue.

Has anyone had success with software for route optimization?

I have a Nuvi 350 with U.S. NT-2008 maps in the unit. Also, have Thailand V8 maps in the SD card. Type in an address to Thailand and push to "Go" button. The unit does the calculation mode and returned an error message of something like "Not enough Memory". I guess we really can't drive from U.S. to Thailand.

Hi Folks,

I purchased my Nuvi 660 about two months ago and it has the 2008 maps installed on it however, the unit software is version 4.10 SO, what version software is everyone else running AND, should I update the unit to version 4.20 of the software? What will I gain in the update to 4.20? What will I lose?

Thanks!

I am new to the 660 and ran into an issue that I finally solved, but off and on, it took me 3 days. I was trying to enter my in-law's (no jokes, please) address into my favorites. The Post Office lists their street as W COUNTY ROAD 200 N. Well, the nuvi didn't like that. I tried several variations of it, still no good.

I'm about to move from Snowy Chicago-land to the Memphis Area, and while looking for a house, I notice some improperly named streets in my new subdivision. How do you inform Garmin about discrepancies? I looked on Google maps, and they have the same incorrect names listed. How often are things like this updated?

I have looked for the answers with no luck.
When I use the poiloader and put a file of poi's directly in the 680, it replaces the one file with the next file. I can only have one file at a time?
I have a number of files on the sd card but do not know how to make the 680 search the sd card.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this is a stupid request
Thanks

I need someone with a 76CSx to load a file and see if their unit will display the icons on an attached file. If a 76CSx is not available, maybe any marine unit, preferably a hand held unit. Need to check to see if the name, address, text and icon shows up. Any help will be appreciated. Here is a link to the file.

I put this idea in another post but it was lost there.

I want to take my NUVI 250W on a trip where I have no access to a 12V charger outlet while in navigate mode. The solution appears obvious - use a 5VDC battery box. I now have one of those with a USB female plug output but turns out to be far from that simple.

The Problem.

Just got my first GPS - Nuvi 250W. Haven't been able to mount it yet due to lousy Winter weather. Wanted to know if I can charge it by plugging it into my computer's USB port, and if a regular USB cable with a mini connector on the end is suitable, or do I need a special cable from Garmin?
Thanks

While traveling i get "speed alert 2mph" what does this mean? A speed trap? Known areas where speed traps are set up? I get one just at the entrance to my gated area in florida and i never see any police activity in the area? Anyone have an explanation

I created the following web site; it will generate gpx files based on user input:

http://gpx-poi.com/

The Longitude and Latitude can be calculated based upon address information typed in by the visitor.

gpx poi files created with this web site have been successfully downloaded to a Garmin nuvi 260 navigator.

I was helping a fellow poster understand why he could not load his POI's on his numi 660. POI Loader hangs.

He has 195,812 POI's in 12 dirs and 137,823 in a 13th dir, lets call it Water. All are good with no problems.

ok,ive searched and cannot find it,im looking for info on map update 08, i read that mapsource is on the disc i just cant figure out how to get it on the computer if even possible?
