Garmin talk

Someone posted a URL address yesterday that gave a compact list of current Garmin products and their features.

I didn't bookmark it.... was someone else a little smarter than I and can put up the URL again.

Thanks

Hi, Not that I am not happy with the voice on my c530 but I was curious on how to change the voices if I wanted to. Also are there more then one English speaking voice that is already installed on the c530 or do I need to download it somehow. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have noticed that when I go to the sat. location screen on my 660 the elevation is changing even when standing still. Is this normal?
Thanks

Hi, I'm brand-new at owning a GPS.

I have a new Nuvi 660 and I was thinking of ordering a couple extra suction cup mounts for my extra vehicles.
My question is as follows.
Are the Garmin accessories of the same exact quality and fit as the original accessories that came in the box with my new nuvi 660?

Just seen these updates on Garmin sight.Any ideas what the change improves on?Could not find any info for clarification.

I was not thrilled with how the MSN traffic receiver was working on my Nuvi 680. While living in a coverage area, it only locked on about 10% of the time while driving to work. I was beginning to think I had a defective receiver but others on this board expressed the same problem.

I'm using poifinder to check a few garmin poi files I'm working on, but I keep getting this error for the entire file:

"The Longitude in Line 1 (1st Call Auto Appearance Services) is incorrect for 'USA's 48 States' limits.
The Latitude in Line 1 (-Richardson-TX-(214) 415-9359) is incorrect for 'USA's 48 States' limits."

Is there any software that can be bought that will turn my 550 into a GPS for my boat?

Hi:
Can anyone help me figure out a way to put icons in my Nuvi 200 GPS unit. After I down load Custom POIs, on the map I see dots where those points are, I would like to see the actual icon for such points.
Please help me
Thanks

I was just browsing through the various programs available for Garmins, and I saw the Garmin TOPO 2008 DVD.

I was wondering if this is a worthwhile upgrade for my nuvi 350, and how it differs from the City Navigator NT?

I know I'll get some great answers, so thanks in advance!

After loading several Custom POI's onto my Nuvi 660 my maps are "slow". Slow meaning that as I am driving I pass a road or an exit before it shows it on the GPS. Is this normal for the 660 or can this be fixed? I haven't tried removing the POI's yet but I wanted to ask first.
Thanks....

I would like to erase the list under favourites from my garmin C510. How can I please?

Check this out!

I found the following info in mapsource help. I gave it a try and it works great.

You can add customized symbols for your waypoints. MapSource includes 8 default custom waypoint symbols located on your computer in "My Documents\My Garmin\Custom Waypoint Symbols." You can open these symbols with a graphic editor and use them as templates for creating your own symbols.

Hi - the manual says that for first time acquisition of satellites, have the antenna flap open to the 90 degree position. But thereafter, apparently one re-acquires at the 180 degree position. Would acquiring after a long jump at 90 degrees work better?

I just got a nuvi 660 and I was wondering if anyone knows any tips or things that I can do to trick it out a bit?

I recently had the opportunity to do a side-by-side comparison of the Nuvi 680 and 760, and for what it’s worth, here’s what I found:

has anyone here successfully created their own vehicle icons? as far as i know the only utility available for creating them sits on this page:

http://techmods.net/nuvi/

while the three custom icons available on the site work as advertised, the icons it generates for me unfortunately suffer from a persistent masking problem.
