Garmin talk

At times my c530 won't work from it's own battery power even it it have been charging for a while. Seems like it does this after downloading from a computer. Anyone else ever had this problem?

Hi all, first post, so please pardon my stupidity.

I have sent wrong maps to my Nuvi 250, how can I erase all the maps other than the base maps “City navigator North America NT8”? When the unit starts I get “can’t unlock maps message”. After that message I can use the North America maps. I am looking a way to remove “can’t unlock” message.

Thanks in advance. NS

Hello,

I have uploaded a .csv file on my Nuvi 670 using the Garmin POIloader.
According to the tool I installed successfully 250 POI's.
But in the menu "Custom POIs" are only a couple available - maybe 15 or so.
I tried also other files with the same problem.

I hope somebody can help.

Thanks a lot in advance.

I just purchased a new 350 for the wife last week. It has the v7 maps. I know I can call Garmin and get a free update to the v8 maps.

I own a 360 with v7 maps. Can I use the same updates for both units?

My Nuvi 360 keeps losing sattelite reception on a clear day, and also at times cannot aquire satteleites when I turn it on.

I have reset the unit using the reset button.

Any help appreciated.

Hello Forum,

I know that there are different kinds of maps out there, but what kinds of maps can I purchase that would be compatible with my Nuvi 350 ?

Thanks.

Hello Forum,

I am new to this forum and this is my first post. The last time I updated my Nuvi 350 (I think I updated it to 4.50), my user data disappeared. Is there a way to back up user data like recent selections, and personal POI's ?

I just finished updating the system software on my nuvi 350, using Garmin WebUpdater 2.0.1, to version 4.90 from 4.60.

After updating, WebUpdater 2.0.1 is no longer able to find the nuvi which is connected. The error message is "No devices were found. Please ensure that your device is connected and turned on and try again."

Another MapSource Update:

MapSource software version 6.13.4 as of September 26, 2007

Changes made from version 6.13.2 to 6.13.4:
*Fixed an issue with displaying the product name of some map products.
*Fixed an issue with receiving data from removable media on Windows Vista 64-bit.

So I was wondering if there was any way to change the display order of the button selections in the where to menu on my nuvi 360,.....

Are there any programs that will allow your GPS to show real time weather situation?..
thanks

I tried to look for a replacement online but could not find any.l I also tried to look up in the manual as to how I replace it but it says nothing. Moreover it gives a warning like "to preserve battery life try not to expose it to too much sun or heat" How are you supposed to do that without an external antenna?

I have a nuvi 660. I see when the device is hooked up to my PC that the sample mp3 files are in an mp3 folder.

1) may I delete those? Where are the audible samples? and may I delete those?

2) may I delete that folder? I plan to put my mp3s on an SD card.

my 330 shows mostly the names of the larger roads at the top of the screen, but you hardly ever see a sign showing the name of the highway on the road, only the route number. when you are in unfamiliar areas(why you use a gps)it gives me the highway name and i still don't know if i'm on the correct road.

I am new to this web site, and havent figured out how to search for topics yet. I was wondering if someone can help me. I am trying to find voice files to download. Not just the plain ones. Something with a little attitude....anyone want to point me in the right direction?

Any help on this topic would be appreciated.

I lost my 60c (bottom of the ocean). I had City Navigator and World Map bought and unlocked on this unit.

Can I transfer the maps from this unit to the GPS that I just bought.

Etrex Venture HC. I know tha the Etrex does not route, but I would like to unlock the new GPS for maps that I already bought.

I have a Nuvi 660 and recently I have noticed that my unit has been giving me wrong directions (it had me drive right through the middle of a mall, on a route I use everyday)Any thoughts?

I've had my Garmin c340 for a couple of weeks and have had A BIG problem with signal loss, about 75% of the time. I did a software update and I even got an outside antenna and it hasn't helped. Do ya'll think I may have a lemon? Has anyone else had this problem? Any fixes? I'm from the Seattle area, does that make a difference?

does anyone know how to customize the map view on garmin nuvi 350 such that while navigating gas stations icons are always visible?
