Garmin talk

I just got a Garmin Nuvi 205. I had a garmin etrex that i bought in 2003 and I have been amazed at how accurate it is. Does anybody have any recommendations on whether or not it would be good to take this hiking with me (keeping it safe). will it pick up well in the deep woods, etc...

I like to view the pictures on my trail cam with my Garmin NUVI 200w. It’s really easy and doesn't take as long time like it does to view them on my blackberry. My question is, can you copy the pictures from the SD card onto my Garmin? Thanks

I am new to the 770 and want to get the most out of its capabilities. I have a degree in Computer Information Technology and am very savvy with programming, etc. I can see myself working on some projects for my own use and sharing with others.

Without having to read through all 196 pages of discussions on the forum, I'd like to ask a question -

I have a new Nuvi 650, and have installed a couple of custom poi's from this site. One of them being White Castle, however when I search for the White Castle near my home, it does not show up. I viewed the location on my extras-custom poi's and it does show in the custom poi file, but the nuvi does not show this location when I do a search for it.

When I leave my house, the 760 always wants to take me a different way. It wants to go 3 miles West or 6 miles East to get to either a Tollroad or a major highway running North/South. The quickest way is to get on a street next to my house go straight South to a Major Interstate that runs between the two above listed roads.

I have searched the forums and didn't come up with my question so: Does the 760 have the capability of proposing different routes to a location? If so, how do I program it?

Just heard on the news yesterday that Az is going to start enforce the law, that if your license plate has a frame and it covers the state you will get pulled over and sited. It's always been the law but now they are enforcing it.
Kinda funny since we are getting all these speed and redlight cameras. Fines will be over $100.00 and They will start enforcing January 2009.

While on my trip to Europe I had the misfortune to break the cradle of my Nuvi 250W windscreen mount. Was if faulty or did I do something wrong - I do not know, but it probably was 4 weeks out of warranty!

Dose anybody know why I can't use my Garmin while charging it using USB cable?

Thanks

Just returned from a long trip in Europe and thought I would share my train stories. I did intend using on the flights but seating (and power availability due to flight times) made that little use.
However - I found that the Nuvi made high speed train travel interesting - French TGV and Eurostar. Both achieved speeds over 300kph! Lots of local trains often get over 160kph.

I have had this issue at least 2 times now in 2 different cars. When I have the Streetpilot C550 Car Charger /Traffic Signal Adapter plugged into my car Charger outlet, the charger stopped charging after few days. I thought it was a problem with the GPS Charger .But it seems the Fuse of the Car Charger Outlet went off.

I want to delete selected routes on my Garmin 750, but can only find info on deleting all routes. Any help or instructions would be appreciated!!

I am looking to upgrade my current GPS, and I have narrowed my choice to either the Nuvi260 or 255. I have read all of the reviews and forums. This forum’s members were especially helpful with suggestions and answers to questions.

Hi I have a Garmin 760 and when I’m standing still in position for an extended time I noticed that the MPH, Moving Total, and Moving AVE randomly shows movement. Could it be my unit or is this something that is common, because of Satellite movement.
Thanks

Hi everyone,

I have a Nuvi 250W from about a year ago now, and when looking at a friends recently purchased model Nuvi 250W i noticed that some things have been updated and look very impressive.

I'm experiencing intermittent and annoying problems with my Nuvi 780 since installing an update at the end of Sep 08. The problems are with locking up when powering on, voice turning off, and voice directions continuing way after a turn or change of direction is executed. Has anyone else experienced these problems lately? What can I do to correct them?

The current POI file lists 267 speed cameras. I see 3 of them going to work, which seems an unfairly high number!! I'm sure it's not the record. Anybody see more of them?

Can't find the vehicle to match your personal preferrence. Ask Garmin

It's not compatible with 300 or 600 series nuvi

I did a search to see if this has been posted yet and couldn't find that it had so... here it is

A 16 page review with many screen shots about the new unit.
