Garmin talk

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.

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.

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,

For those traveling for Thanksgiving, new Garmin vehicle icons....

Last night my friend recommand StreetPilot 2720 to me, as this type support multi-way point, and can use MapSource in computer. But in the past two weeks, I want buy nuvi 750, I need the function of route. And I also want use MapSource in conputer. Which type should I select? Can anyone give me suggest? Thanks a lot.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I received an email from Garmin. Got a free update for my free nuvi 270...

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

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

Can someone tell me if the Clear Channel traffic network
covers Vancouver B.C. area?.. I would like to obtain the service for $ 60 lifetime..Thanks!.

Currently trying to load two different types of custom POI onto a Nuvi 255. Have different directorys set up for each type of POI on computer and using Garmin POI Loader. I only end up with the last POI file I loaded from computer and not both sets. Is there a way to have more than one custom set of PIO's without putting everything in one file ie; Warning Sirens and Radio towers??

May not be the cheapest, but Staples has the nuvi 850, no mail-in rebates:

Was wondering how my nuvi 255W reads different maps.

Hi all...newbie here.
I have an old C330 and was thinking about upgrading. The battery as died and it's just time for a new unit. However, I have many destinations saved in my FAVORITES. How do I backup and save those and how do I put them on a new Garmin?
Thanks!

Hey to all the members.
I have a question on, can I or any of you set the redlight cameras and the speed cameras to be directional. I see here in sunny AZ that we have alot of these cameras only in 1 direction and it would be nice if possible to set the alerts to only alert if that camera poses a threat in that specified direction. So with all your help is this a doable task!!!!

Thanks Bill
