Can I use the AC charger from my nuvi350 to charge my nuvi 255W?

I like the idea of Ciao, but I'm not able to add any friends. Any idea's on how to add other friends and does it work well.

Thanks

Anyone know where to purchase an internal speaker for a 680? I know how to change it, just can not find where to buy the part. With all the posts about the internal speaker you would think someone would sell them.

I drove from Florida to NY this weekend.
The only place I had a problem with my GPS was going through the Virginnia Washington area.
I know that the new roads are not in my GPS and it went crazy recalculating. The same thing happens near Tampa Airport with the new roads.
Does anybody know if the new maps from Garmin have the updates with these roads on it?

Hi: I have 192 custom POI's loaded to my Garmin
Nuvi. They were created as a large GPX file with MAPSOURCE, and uploaded with POI LOADER. They are all present in the CUSTOM POI box within the EXTRAS area. The problem is that the waypoints have NO "GO-TO" Button to allow navigation to the POI. Any ideas? THANKS A LOT. I'm a POI Factory newbie. RMWAC

Hi All my nuvi 1300 takes about a min to get the birds. I thought I read that it is only supposed to take about a couple of seconds. Everything else seems to work properly. Im not sure what do do, if anything. Thoughts?

Thanks for the help

P.S. I HATE that security crap. I don't even bother posting much any longer because of it. When I joined this site that mess wasn't there.

I was looking through what's included in the box (just bought one) and it doesn't seem to have any software. My Quest 2 used the Map Source app from Garmin to load things onto it however I've sold that and no longer have the software installed.

I have a Nuvi 1300. I bought the GTM 25 traffic receiver.

I didn't think this one was ad supported, but it is. I have ads for Best Buy, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and others.

I have downloaded Flying J and KOA campgrounds. I go through the whole process, my computer says they have successfully loaded to my nuvi 1450 BUT I can not find them. Any idea were they are?? THX

How do you download Trip Logs to MapSourse or another map program like Google Earth?

HI: My first post. I am a sailplane pilot, and I am attempting to create a database of all the airports our club might land at. We currently have 192 airports in our database. I have a NUVI 1450 and created a CUSTOM POI .gpx file containing these 192 Airports. Works fabulously.... but only for the 50 CLOSEST airports.

I own a Nuvi 775T, 1260T and 660 and have Garmin lifetime city Navigator map updates on each. When a new map update comes out, I have generally downloaded the EXE file from MyGarmin and then launch that file to build the map image on the PC and transfer to my 775T unit first.

Any one know how to delete unwanted maps in 755T. Recently upgraded to 2011 and find I have Mexico. The chances at my age of ever seeing let alone using a GPS in that country is very, very slim. I would like to get rid of the Mexican map portion and free up some space. If that's possible?

I have two maps in my nuvi 855, the garmin North American map and the OSM UK map. Both are stored in the main memory. Since I was playing with the UK map I had turned the NA map off. However, I left the unit in navigation mode, with the "show track" option turned on.

Is there a way to turn the screen off on a Nuvi without turning the whole device off?

A lot of times, specially if going long distance, it's a long ways before the next turn - and at night, the backlit screen is quite a distraction. It'd be nice to turn the screen off while the navigation going, and have the screen come on automatically when the next turn is approaching.

well the new 20011 maps for the 465T are out i am impress it takes obout 4 hour to down load at 200kb per minute you get free map source and free city install the graffics are better and faster it even format the hard drive for you what they dount tell you is that you must defrag after instalation the program is 2.17 gb it is worth the money they findly got it right this time this are the best gra

What is the latest map update for the 885T ?

Hi all, I have searched and the answer has eluded me. About 2 years ago I bought an aftermarket USB car charger for my Nuvi 680 to use when it was mounted on my motorcycle and I can't find the place I bought it from. I was hoping someone on the forums might have the answer.
