Garmin talk

My wife's been asking for a GPS for over a year now, so I/we decided this would be the year to get her one.

Her little sister (traveling sales rep) was given a 205W by her boss on a weekend we helped her move, so I got to play with it first. I was so impressed with the basic little unit that I decided it was the minimum we would need... I like the widescreen.

I bought my nuvi650 last XMas (2007) and was a little disappointed to learn there were 3+ year old POIs in my brand new toy that had not been in business in over 3 years. At the time I figured it must need an update. I quickly learned that in December 2007 there were no updates available for the n650.

I'm pretty sure this isn't dependent on what type of GPS I have but I bought a nuvi 780 on Friday and I noticed that there's a city missing through the navigation function.

I spent some quality time over this past weekend with two different nuvi 765T units. The units have since been returned and I thought I would post the following obsevations to help any users out there who are "on the fence" about purchasing this unit to perhaps replace their 7x0.

Can someone please tell me how I can delete some of the vehicle files I downloaded from the WebUpdater? Thanks!

from my research prior to buying my 765T, I thought that I had read that you can't use your nuvi while it is connected to your PC via the USB cable.

that it will only charge while connected, or you can use Poi Loader, Web Updater, sites that support the Communicator plugin etc.

I am confused about the uses (and differences) between the 'Garmin Communicator Plugin' and the 'WebUpdater'. :?

Hi,

Just bought a new Garmin Nuvi 200W (US version) with the City Navigator North America NT 2009 map.

All of a sudden I lost the voice portion on the 760 about 3 weeks ago. Checked the Mute and it is okay and checked general settings and they are okay. Any suggestions?

BestBuy has already started their 2-Day "Cyber Monday" sale going Sunday and Monday - check out these GPS units that they have.

Hello folks,

I have a Nuvi 660 blue toothed to my Motorola Razr V3 and I have sent a few text messages via the Nuvi to friends. My question is, how do I clean out my out box on the Nuvi 660? The old messages are still there and it would be nice to get rid of them at this point. HELP ME PLEASE!!

Thanks!!

I have been using Garmin Nuvi 255W for last 2 days and so far fairly happy with it. TTS sounds little robotic sounding but I can live with it. I have heard that you can set proximity alerts on this unit that will alert you when you are approaching school zone, traffic cameras and red light cameras etc...

CompUSA & TigerDirect (one in the same now) are both offering the nuvi 265wt for $229.00 w/ $1.99 shipping.

Pretty good deal

not sure how many models support this, but does anyone use this?

and if so, can you pass along any tips as to how it might be useful?

other than annotating some help for someone by including what appears on screen during one step or another, I don't know when I would use it.

and does it revert to disabled after each use, or each power on?

Yesterday I was traveling up the Jersey coastline on RT 47. At my home i says the elavation is 100 some feet. When we were going up the coastline at random times I would tap Where am I and a few times it said i was negative 50 or lower. Anyone know about this??

Has anyone tried Garmin Locate? I am not sure how to enable or use this feature. Do you need to keep your Nuvi "on" when you are in a mall or somewhere?

I have noticed FM Tranmitter on Nuvi 760 is very week. Did anyone try it on Nuvi 765T? is it better on 765T or it is same?

I will appreciate your feedback.
