Garmin talk

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?

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.

Questions regarding SD card.

#1: What data can/should/should-not be stored to the SD card?

#2: When writing to the SD card, does the card need to be in the GPS or does it need to be in a card reader?

#3: Will data on the card be automatically read by the GPS?

Thanks,

part of the reason I bought the 765T, was the ability to create custom POI's, especially utilizing the radius alert feature of the TourGuide alert.

anyone here have a new 765T?

or perhaps experienced your nuvi rebooting itself while in operation in the cradle while driving?

mine has done it three times, in the little over three weeks that I have owned it, though not within the last week.

and I am not referring to it rebooting following an update of any kind while attached to my PC with the USB cable...this happened while driving.

Newer versions of Garmin POI Loader (v 2.4.0 or higher) have an option to uninstall all custom POI's from your GPS.

After selecting your GPS device, look for this option on the page that follows:

Remove all previously installed custom POI's from your device

Using this feature does not remove the built-in POIs that were pre-installed on your GPS.

It's a shopping cart. I know it's been a tough economy, but good grief!

Hello everyone.

I've looked everywhere, but don't see anything about storing additional vehicle files on an SD card. Do vehicle files have to be stored in internal storage?

Thank you in advance!

Now that I have a Garmin that can hold the new maps I actually care about them. How do I get the new maps for free through Garmin
