download sounds
Trying to download proximity alert from the sounds tab. How do I save it? I tried right click and it doesn't have Save As. If I double click the mp3 file, it plays it. What am I doing wrong?

Google maps satellite images on a nuvi?
I can't seem to find this anywhere, a yay or a nay. So my question is... Can you import any kind of satellite image or such to overlay the existing map? I think it would be a pretty cool idea if you had a big enough SD card for the region in question.

Nuvi 760 - Difference in Volume between Voices
So I purchased the 760 because of the voice that reads the street names, but I've noticed that that voice is much quieter (volume-wise) than the traditional voice (even with volume set to 10). Does this happen to everyone else? It's pretty annoying. Anything I can do to make the "street name reading" voice louder?
Thanks.

MP3 tag info - Comment field, and album art
I've got a nuvi 750 and I have a couple questions about the media player. It generally works pretty well and I think it's got a good design. However I have a couple issues that I don't see with any other mp3 player I use, whether it's on a computer or device (like iPod).

Garmin Tricks Link
For some reason the shortcut link to the:
GARMIN NUVI TRICKS, TIPS, WORK AROUNDS, HINTS, SECRETS & IDEAS
Web site: http://bit.ly/garmin_gps_tricks
isn't working today. It seems to happen at bit.ly from time to time.
You can also reach the site at:

If you need to look up something.

Motorcycle Mamma - I have a question (or 2)
Thanks for your suggestion regarding the different coordinate formats. Here's the problem
I have a Garmin 255W
For a test I punched "Where Am I" while sitting at home. I then put these coordinates into a New POI using "EXTRA POI EDITOR". Then, when I looked at the map on Extra POI Editor it showed my home site at a location about 50 miles to the south east of where I live.

Google and DeLorme coordinates don't match GPS location
I have a Garmin 765T. I planned a trip by entering coordinates I obtained from both DeLorme Street Atlas and Google Earth (by placing my cursor over the desired spot and copying the coordinates given).
When I navigated to these coordinates, I found that I was 300 to 1500 meters off.

MSN Traffic Service vs Free Traffic Service & Auto or Manual Route?
I have read some posting on here and it was about a 50/50 split. Some liked the Free Traffic service and some like the MSN service. I can see the points of both and free sounds much better than pay$$$!
I as yet have not bough my Garmin - thinking of one that has Lane Assist - but not decided between MSN and FREE Traffic. Can you give me a short PRO and CON view of your situation?

Web Updater
My computer crashed and I am re-installing all of my software. Before the crash I had a Web Updater program in my Garmin folder. I have tried to find it on the Garmin website to download again, but all I can find is My Dashboard. I really would prefer the updater that was on my computer. Is it gone?

nuvi usb cable interchange
I am thinkng to upgrade my Nuvi 200 to a 255w. I notice that the 255w does not come with a usb cable for PC connection.
Can I use the 200 usb cable I already have?
How about using the SD card from the 200 containing all my special POI's.
Thanks--guy

POI gpx format icons
I have a Garmin Summit HC and I can load a poi (gpx) file ok when I have a bmp file with the same name. This loads the same icon for all POI's. However if I try to load one with the icon listed in the gpx (different icons for each POI) file all I get is the same icon (med city) instead of what i listed in the file.

Garmin relaxing their map license policy.
Hay all,
I just received my new Garmin Edge 605 for my bicycle. It works great and I learned that Garmin will transfer my CNNA NT 2009 map-set for use on this unit, since I no longer would be using it due to my nuMaps subscription. Garmin said that they have relaxed their license policy and will provide an unlock code for me.

Device Temperature
I noticed several times after using my Nuvi for over an hour its a bit warm when I take if off the mount. Other times is relatively normal-not warm at all. I am wondering if I am having an issue with overheating. Any thoughts on device temperature?
Lost turn by turn voice announcing street etc.
Just bought a nuvi 260W and after registering with garmin was able to download a free maps update. Now my unit does not give me a VOICE turn by turn notice of the next street or avenue only the distance to the next turn right or left!! Anyone have answers to this problem??
