... "With 4.3 Firmware, If I Detour A Route and revisit the map, the Menu button is disabled...
... With my nüvi "Detour" triggers the same bug (acknowledged by Garmin support). To make the device work again, I have to switch the navi off/on and cancel the route before the map is shown" ...

Normally I won't post a question like this on the net, but rely on my own research, but I am not sure here so I will ask advice.

I bought a Garmin Nuvi 650 for $300, but now have the chance to buy a Nuvi 680 for $480.

Folks, I would like to put all my downloaded POIs into some sort of order. Right now, the separate files are all under Custom POIs. But....I would like them in "sub-folders"....i.e., under Custom POIs, I would like to see Food, Attractions, etc....click on Food, and then I see all the separate POI files (Skyline Chili, Bob Evans, etc).

"...Garmin is going to make a play for Inrix, the ... traffic information provider to the TMC traffic service...
...Garmin wants the leverage in the market...
...traffic services could be a multi-billion dollar a year business within a decade..."

I recently downloaded some additional POI's and was wondering if there's a way to set proximity alerts for some POI's and have it turned off for others. I have some POI's that I use when traveling to certain areas and some, like the red light cameras, that I use all the time.

Car dealers are introducing "On Star" turn by turn navigation built in with the car system specially on GMC, is it much reliable compared to our GPS units?

Is it VHF? I live up on the hill, and I have to drive 2 miles down to get reception.
With the FM TMC on the 660, it never is an issue.

Anyone have similar experience?

Hello everyone…. I am a new member here with a Nuvi 660, (2 weeks ownership). I love the unit and is a great upgrade from my Lowrance 350c…. I am having fun with the POI’s…. I downloaded the camera warning POI’s and it works great. Howerver I am getting warning notification from my Nuvi, 4 blocks from the intersections where the cameras are.. Any help on this would be great...

My best friend just called me because he was at a Costco store today and found that they are selling the Garmin Nuvi 680 for $480!

On occasion I get the "a better route is available" audible prompt on my c340.

I never see any way to select the better route.

I emailed Garmin, and the tech replied that a message
box should appear (like the low battery message) to give me the option to select the better route, or to
keep using the original route.

However, that doesn't seem to happen: no message box appears.

Does anyone has a Male Voice for the Nuvi 200. Can you share the file. Thanks.

Does any one knows how to create and upload tour guide in GARMIN 350?

When I upgrade my Nüvi 250W from 2.80 to 2.90 the info in the bottom-left corner of the map screen change. It now show speed, before it was showing time of arrival. The Documentation ( yeah, the 5 pages manual ) reffers to it as Speed or Time of Arrival.

Can and how can I change from one to the other ??

Yes, I'm new at this. How do you apply the alarm sounds to your nuvi 200. How do they work? How did you set up the alarm in your GPS, how will you set it up to sound? Sorry about the questions, just hope someone could help me. Thanks

Just wanted to know if anyone has voices to ad to the Nuvi 200? I will appreciate any help. Thanks.

I would like to be able to see POI's while driving in the map mode on my c340, I don't think its possible, just wondering if anybody knows for sure?

I can get to it and look at it, and understand the obvious. But what I don't understand is what the little icons (sun?, moon?, red dot?) are telling me. They are there, so they must be imparting some useful information if one know how to properly interpret what one is viewing.

I am a new user. Have had my c40 three day now. I have downloaded poi loader and have have loaded a few poi files from here. My question is , will the c340 accept mp3 files and if so if I change a csv file to a mp3 file will I get a audio alert when near poi?
