Garmin talk

Hi - in light of another discussion about which nuvi has best bang for the buck, and my playing around to free up some space, I noted that on my n370 there is a non-tts voice accompanying the tts voices. Which made me curious if one could take a non-tts nuvi and simply copy onto it a tts voice, or whether there is some difference in firmware or otherwise that would keep this from working.

I have downloaded and ran Garmin Updater twice. It gets to 47% and I get an error. Then it closes.
What is wrong??

nuvi 660 model:
My brother helped me though this process and then I had my computer re-imaged.
I still have the files, but they are all in 1 folder.
Does anyone have the patience to give me a step by step "How to organize" these files for my nuvi?
Also, I have read about updating, but I do not see an "About" on any of my menus!

I purchased my three GPS Units (Nuvi 360 and 660)(Street Pilot 550c) in early 2007 and have never updated the maps. I would appreciate any insights regarding:

- the format (CD, SD card, etc.) of the new maps when purchasing the "Map Update 2008 City Navigator® North America NT" online from Garmin

- do I need to make only one purchase for all three units

Does anyone have any inside information on the Nuvi 880? I was interested in how well the speech recognition feature works.

Is there a place on the web that i can put in the Loungatude and latatude (sorry for the spelling) and see the location?

Like i want to see the red light locations so i know where they are.

I'm hoping to make my own vehicle file for my gps. I downloaded the ones that garmin has on their site, however i do not know where to find a program that will work with their supported .srf files.

Can anyone help?

I have a nuvi 260 and I believe I have 2.40 software. When I run web updater it says I have current software. I understand that I am 2 updates behind. How do I catch up? Thanks for all the great help!

Anyone know how Garmin sorts cities?
When I search near a different city, a list of cities, with that name, appear for the various states.
However there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason on how it lists the cities.
Some cities are listed alphabetical by state and some are not.

i.e If I type in Louisville, the first state on the list is MD.
The fifth is KY.

I have a nuvi 200 and have loaded several poi files with poiloader and with no problem.

On this one, I made sure that I did the express upload, so no alert information should show up when I go to the poi file, but it is. I even did it twice. It shows:

The name of the company
The words "Alert Information" on the next line
The word "Distance:" and a number on the next line

could someone tell me if the have Washington state, national and state parks poi

thanks

I am having trouble downloading custom vehicle icons to my Nuvi 200w. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm a newb so don't be too hard on me. LOL

Does anyone know if the Garmin 276c and 376c is capable of instaling custom POI's? I tried installing POI Loader but the install program can't find my GPS even tho its hooked up to the computer.

thanks,
Jeff

Does the nuvi 660 automatically alert you when you are near a POI that is loaded on the device? For example, if I download the red light cameras for my area, will the nuvi automatically alert me when I approach an intersection with a red light camera or do I have to turn on a special setting for the nuvi to give me an alert?

Are there any POI files for just gas station with diesel fuel,i have the Nuvi 680 which i love,with MSN and can locate gas station with fuel prices,but not diesel fuel,i have a diesel truck so you see the problem
If not would i be able create a poi file with poi loader?
How would i create this file?
Im pretty new to this but with a little assistance from you guys i think i can do it

I have a Garmin Nuvi 200W.
I like the fact that I can create custom POI's. I like to save them on the SD card as not to use up all the limited memory on the device. However every time I power up

Hi again everyone. new topic for all. I would like to delete the sample pic's on my Pic viewer. Is this possible? If so how would i go about removing them. I would like just my own Pic's on there if possible. Thanks in advance for your help. Bye for now.

Changes made from version 2.50 to 2.60:
Correct street suffix entry handling in address searcher
Correct display of MadMaps Routes names
Correct issue that prevented some MadMaps routes from displaying properly on the unit.
Correct issue with proximity alarm points in MadMaps
Add Compliance warning pages for FM transmitter
Add support for Canadian traffic from MSN.

I notice there is a "filter" <?> on this cable that ships with the c330. Does this have special significance. Will a regular usb cable work as well?

Looks like the iPhone has some competition. All we need Garmin to do is use that cellular connection to give us INSTANT MAP UPDATES!
