Garmin talk

Why does my nuvi 250 give me wrong max speed? Right now it claims I was going 197 mph.

I am wondering a few things about my new Garmin 260.
1. Can you load a trip into with multiple stops?
2. Can I do this via latpop and upload it to the handheld.
3. Can I change the voice, or download more voices.

Thanks for your information in advance....jason

I recently got a Nuvi 650 and would like to add a list wineries within the state. I know it has some built in, and maybe all. But I'd like to make sure and this will be used for other things going forward as well.

First off, I am very glad to have found this site. It has been a great source of info and POI files.

I know that my question might not fit on a POI site, but I wanted to throw this out to folks who are very knowledgable about GPS sites.

Hi folks!
I bought my c330 while I was living in Portugal...and now, moved to Spain, I cannot find the original box with the damned code to be able to update it. any sugeestions??? (Garmin is asking me to talk to the shop who sold it to me....great! I do not speak Portuguese...and it was a wallmart...)

Hello everyone. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I just wanted to ask, I'm a newb, to see if you all thought I'd be eligable for at leaste a discount on map updates for both my units. I bought a c330 and a c530 in Nov. of 07. They are regestered and need the update. I just sent an oppropriatelly written email to Garmin with a request for a discount.

Problem POI Loader

The Nuvi 200, my first GPS, is performing really well, I am quite pleased. One oddity, my own house is on the wrong side of the street. If coming down my street it incorrectly informs me that I am arriving at my destination "on right". If I come up the street from the opposite direction it says "of left". I initially obtained my location by punching in the street number and address.

I am trying to get an audiobook (MP3 format) to play in my new Nuvi 650, but the chapters come out randomly.

Using POI-Loader, the audiobook will show up (and I can play it) on the 650, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which little MP3 file (there's over 160 in the book!) it will play in which order. How do I sort them and get them to play ?

When updating my POI files from my POI folder, does it add the files in only once or does it keep adding the files each time? Should I delete the files once I put them on my GPS? Will they take up a lot of space on my GPS?

Sorry there's so many questions!

I just recently got a Garmin Nuvi 360 and it is able to communicate perfectly with my Motorola 551 cellphone. However at times when I restart the Nuvi it goes into this loop showing a "Phone Disconnected" popup every 30 seconds. I suppose it is trying to establish connection with my cell.

To get rid of the message I need to shutdown and restart my cell phone !

I think I've got a pretty good way to put my iTunes playlists onto my nuvi 760. I'm running a Windows XP machine and all my music in iTunes is mp3. Perhaps others will find this helpful.

First, you need iTunes Export, a free open source download from here:

Are there any other extras that can my added other than the POI's?

Well I found a hell of a deal for a 760, and have upgraded from my 660. Giving the old unit to a family member. I hate how this unit though is MSN ready but you need to buy the cable. Anybody know of cheap place to pick this cable up at?

Squatch

Took my first trip today using the 650, Am a garmin user since the first GPS colormap, Cannot figure how to get the 650 to show interstate exits when showing map view (not navigating), Just shows interstate and direction no exits. Know someone has the solution.
Thanks

After updating my SPc530 yesterday, I disconnected it and turned it back on. A window came up saying there was no map data and could not continue. :>( I couldn't believe it and had no idea what might have happened.

Just got Garmin 660 and testing all features. When attempted to do currency conversion the program would misreport the currency values.ie Euro to Dollars conversions currency rate correctbut when went to currency converter the rate was increased by approximatly 34%. This was consistent with all currency.

Hi. I have a 2730 and a 7500 with the laterst CNNA"NT" V.2008 Maps and they are unlocked and I have it loadede on my PC as well.

I have a Garmin Handheld unit which uses a micro data card and want to load the maps on it too.

I bought a brand new CNNA DVD V.2008 with it's own unlock code.

Hello,
Thanks to those who helped with my hard reset. It did not solve my problem. I had to send it back to Garmin.
