Garmin Quality?
I have a nuvi 255W with the 2009 .1 maps installed. With my old 260 when I came back to my home in MA from CT. it was the correct route, all highway right to my front door. With the 255 it takes me off the Mass. Turnpike to local roads and then through 3 different cities to my house. I have no avoidances set and I use the fastest route.

Trying to pair a BB 8100 to a 265wt
As the title says. I'm having a heck of a time with getting the nuvi to accept incomming calls. If I use the cell phone to accept the calls the audio is fine on the nuvi. The problem is that I do get the incomming call prompt onscreen but when I push the button it will not accept the call. Any suggestions?

Trip to Sedona, AZ
I'm planning a trip to Sedona, Jerome, Prescott and Wickenburg the middle of July. I just discovered that you can load any waypoints from Google Maps into my Nuvi350 and then you can upload those waypoints onto Google Earth. What a time saver and easy way to map out the trip.
I also use MapSource to map out the waypoints by transferring them from my Nuvi 350 onto MapSource

Nuvi 765T and red light cameras not working.
Hello,
I just bought a Nuvi 765T. This is my first GPS. I would like the unit to be able to let me know when a red light camera is coming up. I bought the unit on 6-18-09. The maps are updated as of 6-19-09. I installed the Garmin POI loader app (PC). After maps were updated I installed Speed-Cameras.csv (June 17) and Redlight-Cameras.csv (June 17).

255W - POIs are loaded, but do not show in Extras > Custom POIs
I'm sure I'm just a newbie at this, but after moving over 70 files to the unit, I cannot figure out why the custom POIs are not showing.
I appreciate any help anyone can offer.
Thanks.

Changing voice from default female to male
I have a nuvi 855. I have found the male voice to be slightly louder and clearer to understand. I tried both the default female voice as well as the male voice, both turned all the way up and like the male voice better.
Don't know if your menu is the same or not, but this is how to do it on a nuvi 855. Main menu, tools, settings, language, (touch) VOICE PERSONALITY and pick "Jack".

Changing Color of Dropdown sign
Hi
I have a Nuvi 750. The color of the drop down signs notifies me of my poi's is gray.
Often wind noise etc may make it difficult to hear the sound signal. It would be better if the drop down sign could be a brighter color (red,orange etc.)that would be noticed more easily as you drive.
Anyone know how to change the color on the Nuvi 750???

Newbie with a question
Hi, I want to apologize in advance if this is a really stupid question.
I have looked at all the POIs and think they are great, and have downloaded a lot of them.
But I was wondering if there was just a way to download an entire yellow pages of information onto your system for maybe one or two cities.
