Garmin talk

I recently installed Web Updater and by chance re-installed 4.20 only to find that my Garmin boots in ~25sec or less. I've been putting up with it hanging at "Maps" for a total of a 2min boot. My Lenovo XP netbook boots in 45sec!

Is there anything I can do to make it not get corrupted in the future? Or what did I, or it, do to make this happen?

Thanks.

I'm trying to get my MSN Direct to update itself, and it won't. I have the whole setup, including the Nuvi 880 and the 12v cig lighter cable which contains the MSN antenna, plugged into a 110v adaptor in my house. I do not want to leave the setup in the car even if it is parked in my driveway.

I was wondering....

Thanks to all the people that contribute to this site. I used the Walt Disney World POI's along with walmart and other POI's to get to where I needed to go in Orlando and Kissimmee, Fl.

Hi,

As I am fairly new at all this I thought the best thing do do was ask.

Is it possible to get or create custom voice files for navigation for the Garmin Nuvi 300?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

My low battery alert activates way too often, is there a way to adjust this

Is there anyway I can view my speed on the 660 while the map is showing, like the 760

If this has been discussed before, I'm sorry. I couldn't find a topic on it.

When you're actually having a Garmin simulate a route is there any way to speed it up? Trying to see what's going on during a long route is kinda tough when it's only simulating 35 mph or so.

Thanks for your help!

Says theirs a lifetime subcription and notice on the Garmin website it allows activation but need a code to activate.I'm I missing something or is it nothing

I have read the faqs and posts but can't seem to find an answer.

When I load a POI file it is placed into the "Custom POIs" in "My Locations."

Is there a way to create a new category in the "Where To" section? I have "Food, Attractions, Shopping..." Can I make a new category called "Wifi?"

How could I do this?

Thank you

I'm looking for a good site, Where do you get your audio books?

Purchase a GPS on the spur of the moment thing and was amazed on what i've been missing out on.I was just wondering how other GPS systems rate compared to Garmin models.

I was in Seattle last week, knew I was within 1/2 mile of REI, went to the C580 built-in Shopping POI, selected All, and entered REI. To my surprise, the flagship REI store was not found! I had to stop and get directions. Yikes! Once I arrived at the store, tried the same search again, thinking I must have made a mistake. Still nothing.

Hi All,

I was thinking about switching from my current 680 to the newer 760, just wanted to ask the community at large if there are any problems with firmware or other issues that I should be aware of before switching out my 680 for the 760?

Thanks to all in advance.

The following GPS Passion webpage documents the progression in chipsets used by Garmin in their GPSrs.

After loading all my custom POI's I started checking them only to find out the interface is very different. When you touch a specific POI the opening screen only has the Name of the POI and no other info, along the bottom there is a "More" button when you push it you get two copies of the address and phone number which is not dialable even on GPX files.

Well I did it last night, I purchased the LIFETIME Traffic renewal for my Nuvi 660. I ran into some problems inputting the new code that they sent me, and I thought I was going to have to call Garmin to rectify the matter however, after rebooting the unit and allowing it to communicate with the traffic reciever for a couple of minutes, I was able to successfully input my new traffic code.

How can I edit text on my Garmin Nuvi 260?
