Export Tracks

I have a nuvi 200w.

I recently went on a rather long road trip. I have seen online where you can export your trip information and view it with programs like Google Earth or Garmin Road Trip.

I can figure out how to export my 'favorites' within Garmin's Road Trip, but can figure out the 'tracks?'

Volume

For some reason my volume on SOME of my poi are not loud anymore. I did use the program Audacity to get the volume up before but now it's not working. any advice?

Converting files to .gpx / i

I have the Garmin 755T as well as an Escort 9500. Can the database file (from the radar) .lcd be converted somehow to use in my GPS?

Bluetooth Firmware...............

I found the Bluetooth Firmware update screen on my nuvi 750, when I pressed update, a screen popped up and asked if I was sure I wanted to update. What would happen if I pressed yes, update? Could I damage the unit?

How do download & keep in sync multiple POI's?

Is there a way to keep in sync multiple POI's? I.E. How do I keep in sync all POI's & have it sync'd with all future updates? Is there a way to download multiple POI's files, say 25 of them?

which Garmin to get?

I'm looking to get a 2nd Garmin added to our family. Right now we only have a c340 and I'm torn between which to get of the following: Nuvi 265wt, 760, and 770. The price of the 770 is the cheapest of the three on amazon.com and I am mainly going to use this 2nd GPS on my job as a utility repairman as well as family trips.

Custom Setup w/POI Loader

Is there any way I can avoid resetting all of the settings every time I re-load POIs on my Nivi using POI loader?

Nuvi 660 locks up

Has any else ever had this problem. Sometimes after about 2 hours, the unit will just lock up or freeze. No touch screen commands work. The only way to get it back is to power off and then back on. Seems it happens when I am in an area where the roads are new and not in the database

Request for GPS Recommendations

Presently I have Garmin GPS on my phone and it works well. I would like to get a stand alone GPS for our other cars and was hoping that some users could make a suggestion on some models. It would be good to have a model that is not too expensive, but provides the needed features. Thank you in advance for your input.

Reversible Express Lanes

How does Garmin or any other GPS manufacturer handle reversible express lanes in their navigation? Some of these express lanes are way off the normal lanes.

Not Impressed with ver 4.2 for Nuvi 7XX

After reading all the positive comments about 4.2, I finally upgraded.
I'm not impressed. Sure it's better than 4.0 and 4.1, but I still see map lag problems.

Is there a way to add a line of text in a color other than black?

I am using a NUVI 350 and have solved (thanks to POI FACTORY) the problem of line breaks.

Now I would like to jazz up certain POI's with a color (like red) to call attention to some significant item for a particular POI....

Any hope? / suggestions?

Best Nuvi For My Salesperson Daughter?

We're planning to get a Nuvi for my daughter for her sales calls. I like the models with the "route Optimization" that automatically organizes several stops into an efficient route. Does anyone know if any of the models that have this could be purchased for $270 or less? This would include some of the older models that Circuit City and others sell for less.

UGHH No memory glitch??

Can anyone help me please??? I have a Garmin Streetpilot C320 with City NAV NT 2009 map. I also have a 2.0 GB SD card in it. I have always had custom POI's on it. This time though after wiping it to load my 2009 map the POI's won't go on. I keep getting the same error message of "not enough memory" no matter how small of a file I pick.

7x5 Bugs

I have had my 765 about 4 hrs, and discovered the 1st bug. After I transfered my favorites I found I could only scroll about 3 screens before it automatically reset itself to the 1st screen. You have to be pretty fast on the scroll to get the more distant favorites before it resets.

My 660 had a nervous breakdown

Coming north to Door County, highway 42 has a new section. Jack kept recalculating trying to get back where he thought the road was. After a few minutes he froze up. The unit simply stopped doing anything. I shut it off and turned it back on. By then I was on the mapped section of road and it worked fine. I've been on unmapped roads before and this didn't happen. Is this a normal behavior?
