Just when we thought Garmin had forgotten us 660 owners.

Bluetooth Fw 3.40

changes from v.3.10 to v.3.40
- made general improvements in hands-free operation

I know, I know, let's not stand up and applaud all at once.

My new Nuvi 265WT is re-mounting itself after I "safely remove" the Garmin on my Dell. It does the same thing after ejecting the Garmin from my Mac. My Nuvi 250W would stay off once removed/ejected. How come my new Nuvi 265WT remounts itself into Mass Storage Mode (screen with PC Tower on it)? It is a big pain to unplug the GPS USB cable during the 3 seconds it stays off in between mounts.

Garmin is advising me that a new map is available. Is their any way to disable their ad?

install Gramin c330 in computer says loader loading on gps screen but that is it. will not turn off or anything. help

y'day I was trying to start garmin 270 to get direction. But it will come upto loading map screen and quit. It happend 3 times. Then I charged it but same thing. I pluged in to auto charger. then it was stuck on loading map screen.
I then decided to remove the SD card and start it. Bingo battery was fully charged it was the sd card that was causing it. I later put SD card back and it was fine,

Ihave just made up a folder on my computer which contains subfolders some with bmp.csv.and mp3. files,others with just bmp.and csv.Now when tracking to poi in demo mode the ones with no mp3. file show icon at destination,ones with mp3.

We are newbies to the GPS world but not to the computer world. We have downloaded the POI loader and the POI file (state parks) but the file will not transfer to our Garmin. Have now tried for several hours. What are we doing wrong?
Please help!
Thank You

I noticed on over cast days that I can drive several miles before my 750 will find satalites. Otherwise it will operate with in seconeds on clear days.

I have not been there a while and was surprised to see new icons. Funniest one I have seen so far is knuckles.

Has anybody else spotted 'cool' icons?

Can it be added in a poi for an alert, the distance and time of the day, example: to avoid a trafic jam at a specific spot, like a shoping center at 3 pm or a bridge at 6:30 am...

I am running into the problem that the POI files are not loaded to the NUevi 660. New POI software downloaded. But the errror message tells me that the device is not ready. I have access to the Garmin through my computer, deleted files to make sure the mem is OK.
Has anybody had the same problem? any help?

I, like many others on here, have had a lot of problems with my Nuvi 780. It's been taking 4-6 minutes to "load maps". I have updated the software many times to no avail. Yesterday I wrote Garmin and told them of the issue. They wanted me to update the software again. I already had the latest so I told them that wouldn't help. They wrote back and want me to send the unit to them.

I bought my nuvi 750 last January for just over $500.00. I see they are now on sale for under $200.00, a 60% drop in price in less then one year.
The low end models sold last January for around $200.00 and today are still holding at around $150.00, a drop of 25%.

Just got my weekly Costco mailing and the Nuvi 750 is priced at $299 and then a $100 discount for a price of $199.00 plus taxes and shipping (yes, they are charging something like %5.99 for shipping & handling).

Price started today and only good for a short time!!!

Is there a way to hide mp3's on my SD card so the Zumo 550 won't see them? I have a 16gb card and right now I have 994 mp3's on it. I have several thousand mp3's. I want to move them off my HD and on to the SD card. If I load all 2,346 mp3's on the card, the Zumo 550 only sees the top 1,000. So all my songs that are on the bottom 1,346 isn't being read or played.

I just received a Navigon 2000S as a promotion for buying four tires for my SUV.

Is there a simple way to geocode photos for use on a Garmin nüvi? I checked some of the Panoramio JPEGs and they don't have any EXIF info. Where are the coordinates stored?
