Garmin talk

Hi,
Does anyone know if you have access to both maps when you place a second map into the I5 with a micro sd card? Example...If you put Europe on the card can you still use the USA map that was pre installed on the unit or does the card over ride that map and/or replace that map until you remove the card from the unit?
Thanks

I know you can't do it now, but what is the general consensus that something like this could be done with a firmware update? I emailed Garmin 2 weeks ago asking them this, but they never replied. It sure would be nice if it's possible.

Hello

Not sure where to Post this message at. I was Talking to a DHL Technician and he was telling me that he has a Garmin GPS that runs on batteries. He has it hooked up to his Nikon D200 with some cable.

He says when he takes a picture he is able to get the Lat & Lon of the picture he shot or something on those lines.

While waiting for my nuvu 350 to arrive, I was checking their website about free map update. Can someone translate this into plain English?

I have just purchased a Zumo 550 and mounted it onto my 2004 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic. I am wondering if anyone has figured out how to hard wire the system voice commands) into the radio\cb\intercom. I am sure it can be done it is a matter of talking with someone who has done it or doing it the hard way and figuring it out mysef.

When you have the poi on a sd card, it keeps asking if I want to move it over to the Garmin, and I don't, can I keep that prompt from coming up each time?

I have a nuvi 360 since August 06, i was wondering how often Garmin come out with new maps? The firmware updates are good, but i am noticing living in a new area a lot of roads don't exist yet?

Anyone have an insight?

Say if I found a few newer versions of custom POI and want to upload it to my Garmin c340. Is it better to completely delete all custom POI and reload them? Will the Garmin uploader automatically write over the older version of the custom POI?

Have a powerful weekend everyone!?

I have loaded some fuel truck stops in my Nuvi 350 and can see them in my Custom POI's. The question I have is do I have to be on the same road as the POI for the alert to happen? It seems if I am just passing by, say on the interstate I do not get an alert. BTW I have the speed set to over 0 mph and distance set to 3 miles.

Just got to say this is my first GPS
and loving it.

Just attempted the TTS mod and must say
(though its not necessary) having it speak the names
is very cool. Only thing I really wanted from the
C550

Can't wait for the next road trip

My c340 came with Version 2.10. I had a DVD sent to me and it is Version 8. Should I download/install this one?

Anyone know how to recalibrate the screen on a c530? Someone posted something, but there was no such option under display option.

I was market for nuvi 370 and now I checked the Garmin site again and found stripped down version, nuvi 270.

I am glad that I waited several week. Did anyone have any experience with the new 200 series?

Thank you.

Changes made from version 4.30 to 4.40:

Daylight saving changes for United States
Fixed possible route calculation error in routes involving Cul De Sacs
Added support for Brazilian Portuguese, Bulgarian, Lithuanian, Romanian, and Serbian pre-recorded voices

I have just bought the new Garmin Mobile 10 with the Mobile XT software for my PDA/phone. It works great, but I am wondering if anyone has found a good mount for attaching a Cingular 8125 to a Motorcycle.

Is there a way to back up the original firmware ?

Planning to upgrade to latest firmware, usually
its good to keep a copy of the original just in case.

Got some questions for experienced ppl.
(if NOT using the web updater)

1) Do you download the update directly to the device or
the SD card in the gps

2)Is there a way to downgrade to a lower firmware version?

thanks

I have the Chevy Truck with XM antenna, and the Onstar antenna. It also has one just plain radio antenna.
Garmin has a GXM 30 antenna for recieving weather/ Traffic info.
I would like to know if anyone knows of a splitter that you could put on the radio, then subscribe to the weather/traffic signal. I really don't want 4 antennas.

Hi all,
Just got my first GPS trying to figure out how to
charge the C530 through the usb.

Does it automatically charge when you plug it in ?
