Garmin talk

Ok well it was refurbished, but still comes with the 1-yr. warranty! Such a deal I couldn't pass it up. My Nuvi 760 is still working great, but 4 years old now. How the prices have dropped! I believe I paid almost $400 for the 760....

I have a Garmin 760T that works perfectly but I just decided to upgrade (got a little break from Unca Dam... I mean Sam).

I did read the FAQ's, so I'm sorry if this has already been asked.

In short, I can't play MP3's.
The volume is up.

I have listened to pre-loaded files, but can't hear them anymore either. I hit the "Play" triangle, and the button turns into the 2 bar "Stop" button which would indicate the file is playing...but it isn't.

Iv'e added a few new poi's to my list of poi's which includes symbols for the display and the mp3 anouncements. I made sure all the files are the exact spelling except the file extensions, like I was told in a previous post. Now none of them seem to work or the alerts don't work.

I just opened mapsource, opened current.gpx from my 255W, saved it to my hard drive. Then, while still in Mapsource, switched to a different 255W and saved as current.gpx. I had already deleted the existing file on the 2nd gps.

Now it seems I have 2 of everything. How can I clear out the old file properly?

Hey everyone,

The documentation says if you hit the power button for two seconds it will sleep and the battery will last about a week. Is the same true that letting the screen timeout will do the same thing?

We took a trip the last three weeks and we tried looking for food along the road. Nearly every place to eat that we tried to locate on my C340 (which is probably 7 years old but regularly updated) was closed or gone.

I have aGARMIN NUVI 3760T and would like to charge it at home. I found wall chargers at Amazon, but some of them say not compatible with my unit. Can I simply just use a micro USB charger from one of my cell phones? I think it says 5.1 MV (or whatever).Kind of hard to read though.

Here's when we 855 owners are reminded that the model's been discontinued:

Just note that some 855 owners--me, for instance--have an 855 that suffers from repeated near-random reboots when in use. Still, for $85...

Woot's shipping is not especially speedy but if you're open to waiting a bit, I've never had a problem with Woot.

I just attempted Ghayman's "Oh give me a home" easy poi exercise. I failed. It's too funny actually. The alert does appear when I am almost to my house, but instead of playing "home on the range" I hear "zoo ahead". Now, I'm not saying that our house isn't a zoo, but I want to figure out what I did wrong.

It looks like everything is named correctly.

I just bought a GARMIN NUVI 3760T and last Garmin got me. I updated the maps 4 day's before new ones came out. Anyone know what is the latest map is, and is their another one coming out any time soon? I have 30 days to get my free map!

Thanks

New update for Garmin 265.
Changes made from version 7.10 to 7.20:
Corrected an issue that allowed Traffic Ads to display after Navteq Premium subscription had been purchased.

I just gave my wife my nuvi 765t to replace her older Magellen RoadMate 2000.

Even though the Garmin is heads above the Magellen in most every way, the one item she still wants is the "DING!" tone that her Magellen plays when you are at your next turn or exit. She kinda tunes out the spoken words of the GPS while driving and relies on that tone to bring her attention back to the GPS.

I was unhappy with the limited voices supplied with my Garmin GPS. After a call to tech support I was happily suprised with their offer to send me 4 addition voices which I have used.

So, I have always had several cell phones that I can just switch around at will. The bonus of having a phone that acted like a slick little Garmin GPS was good too. But... in the case of the US, T-Mobile based Garmin A50, aka the Garminfone, it seems like a huge mistake.

I would like a Garmin, or PC mapping application, that would allow me to choose scenic highways. So far, no luck. I keep a atlas on hand and have to choose way points. Anyone have recommendations...be kind .

Has either Barnes & Noble or Borders been looked at recently? I note that both are either closing stores or looking for a buyer.

I would like to do a hard reset on my 1490LMT. How do I do the reset? what files do I need to back up? and how do I back them up? Please point me to the already created topic if one exists. I did not find it if it does? Thx

The myTrends feature on my Garmin 3760 kicked in recently, exactly 4 weeks from the date I started using it.

In addition to predicting my intended destinations based on day of week and starting time, the routes it now suggests follow my usual pathway instead of stubbornly sticking to the routes that it used to suggest.

Happy camper here!
