About to through my nuvi 760 Out the Window!!!

I am using my nuvi 760 and ever since the last software update i am very disappointed with it. When I put in a location #1 It does not calculate the route as the fastest or shortest it just seems to pick at random, and #2 I can go to an address from home and then press go home and it takes me sometimes 10 or 15 miles out of the way and a totally different route than which I came.

Garmin Nuvi 200, 205 or 250??

Looking at replacing my c330. There are great deals on the Nuvi 200 @ Walmart -$97, Nuvi 250 @ New Egg-$100 but no deals on the 205. Is the 205 the latest model? I can't seem to find much of a difference between these 3 units except that the Nuvi 200 and 205 mention "regional maps" rather than "North America" as the 250 does? What is a "regional map"?

Version 4.30 for Nuvi 750

Due to some issues with my old 750, I now have a new one with Software version 4.30- GPS SW Version 2.80m.
Has anyone else seen this version yet? Garmin's site
does not have it listed as the most recent version, nor can I find any reference as to what was "correct/updated"
in 4.30.... just curious.

Toronto to Edmonton driving experience.

Hi all,

I drove on 21 November 2009 from Toronto to Edmonton via States - Chicago, North Dakota then Edmonton. It was amazing, I have Nuvi 680. Only challenge is I dont have updated camera and I am not active user, lol. So, I wont get it free, I guess.

Letter to Garmin

Dear Mr. Garmin:

Can you help me? I got my NUVI 680 in January for my 70th birthday, that is when I met
“Karen”. She was sexy and Hot! We got along fine and went everywhere together- she even
helped me find myself. Then one day she got upset with me for not doing what she told me and
yelled “Recalculating” in a sarcastic way.

Vehicles change and voice change issues

Hello all,
I am very new to using my Garmin. So please excuse my NOOBIE-NES.

Question:

I downloaded A new voice for my device. I installed the file in the correct folder. Yet it does not show the custom voice in the list of possible voices.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Thanks,

Garmin 750 - can you disable navigation prompts

I just ordered a Garmin 750, and was wondering something.
I can't seem to find this answer searching on-line or in the on-line product manual.

Can you disable voice navigation on a Garmin nuvi 750?
I ask, because I could see myself driving to work each day and wanting to listen to the MP3 player without
the interruptions at every turn.

760 'Low Battery' Question

I leave my Nuvi plugged in all the time in my car. So it's always getting charged. Three times now I've received a 'low battery' warning. Twice when I have shut the car off and AFTER I get the message to power off or not. Once when I removed it from the mounting to enter some information.

one of the saddest days in recent times (a random rant)

Sunday, November 23... the last day I saw my NUVI 660. I lent it to a friend and she called me later that evening to tell me that it had been stolen from her vehicle in a parking lot at a swim center in North Bethesda/Rockville Maryland.

Nuvi 250 for $99 @ NewEgg on BlackFriday

Price is after rebates and or promo discounts. They sent me a e-mail with the price so if you are in the market for a cost effective nuvi this is hard to beat.

Garmin nuMaps Guarantee!

I was wondering according to Garmin and there nuMaps Guarantee there may be updated maps for nuvis within 60 Days or registration and acquisition.

MP3 Attachment

With Forum assistance I managed to attach an mp3 to a .csv & .bmp setup for a speed POI. Works very well indeed.

Question: Can one attach an mp3 to a place POI i.e. say Church.csv, Church.bmp & Church.mp3??

I do not seem to be able to get this type to work as I approach the relevant Church.

Thanks
