Garmin talk

I'm thinking about adding a GTM 12 Traffice Receiver and subscription to my Nuvi 350, but would like the opinion of someone who has used the device and the service. Is it worth the money to add this?

I ran into problem yesterday where i was driving from los angeles to orange county using nuvi. Midway, it stopped routing w/o any warning and just displayed the speed in left lower corner, direction in right corner, and the name of the exits i passed by on the top. Happened two or 3 times. I pressed the reset button once i reached surface streets. but stil strange.

When I enter an address to search for, it picks the first street it comes to that matches the spelling as I am entering the street name.

How do I enter the whole street name, to get to the real street I want?

thanks.

I'm a fairly new owner of a Nuvi-660.

I know that the 660 has a Garmin FM-Traffic Receiver available for it, but does anyone know whether the traffic info from MSN Direct can by any means be made to work on a 660? I know that it's made to go with the Nuvi-680, and that the MSN Direct's cord plugs into the 680.

Is this software different than City Navigator 2008? and how is it different?

If it is different, can I use it on my nuvi 650 and how do I do that? (change between two different maps)

Do I need an unlock code for this dvd?

thanks

My LG chocolate will not upload the phonebook to my Garmin C550. yes I have updated with the latest firmware etc etc. HELP!

Suppose I have a folder with a couple of files say "rest stops" and "food". I have protected this folder so that I won't overwrite by changing the name. Then I want to add a "rest stop" to the existing file. Can I do this as long as the file "food" is in the same folder. If so, how or should I just have one file per folder and protect each file by changing the name on the SD?

Is it possible to load Red Light POI to my Garmin Nuvi 360? Anticipated Thanks

First question is re Motorcycle Moma's instructions for storing POI's on SD card. In no fewer than 5 seperate posts, she has said that if you choose the SD card as the target drive for POI Loader, when the unit boots and asks whether you want to copy to the Nuvi, you should check to box to not ask again and then say yes.

Does anyone know if you can get maps of Japan and any other Asian countries for a Garmin 350?

Hello Everyone,

YES I have yet ANOTHER POI question. When I have the POI files on my computer they are all in alphabetical order HOWEVER when I create the POI file with POI Loader and upload them to my Nuvi 660, the order is all over the map. What's the secret to having them all show up in alphabetical order on my Nuvi?

Do I need to rename them differently on my computer?

Thank Much!

Anyone have a workaround that will enable me to set up routes on my 360? I'm a Realtor and it's something I would use a lot.
Thanks.

i see there is a new map out 2008 Map Update City Navigator® Europe NT the price is $ 129.99 USD from the garmin website.

Does the StreetPilot 2720 support MP3 audio files?

My poi's don't show up on my Zumo 550 when in 3D mode. It don't matter what zoom level you are at. Anyone else have this problem?

If I have several POIs loaded on my Garmin will they both be bound by the same proximity alert distance? (ie- I want to set rest areas to 1 mile but I also want to load red light enforcement cameras and obviously need that alert to be closer to the camera).

First Question,

Why do you suppose when you do a search for a city, it always brings up the city name in a different state first instead of the default state that it should know you are physically in?

2nd Question,

My default ALERT is working fine with my Rest-Stop.csv. I downloaded the Rest-Stop.mp3 from this web site and renamed it so it matched my *.csv file, and this time I got the same "On-Screen" warning, but just silence from the speaker. I removed the mp3 from my POI files and now I am getting the default Alert again.

Hi Everyone,

I hear talk about backing up my favorites off my nuvi 660 however, where are they located on the unit and what is the file name? I have all my custom POI files stored on the SD card and I'm cool with how to backup that data but like I said, which files on the nuvi itself do I need to backup?

Thanks Much!!
