Total Traffic

My Nuvi 760 traffic subscription indicates Total Traffic Network(US):Expires-12/24/20.Do I have subscription until 2020 or 12/24/2008? . I am on 3 months trail period and activated 09/24/2008.

Anyone else notice this...........

I noticed something with some of the POI files that I have downloaded from this site.
When the name of the POI, or other information, is in all caps, TTS voices doesn't pronounce the name correctly.
I know it might be a lot of work to correct all the files that are currently on this site, but going forward, lets turn off caps lock.

Real Time traffic around Los Angeles, are you happy?

Hi all,
I have a C550 that came with 3 months of free traffic update that will expire soon (in another month). I'm in the Los Angeles area and oftentimes I found the real-time traffic is not very accurate or late. I'm not sure if it's just me. I'm debating if I should get a year for $60 when it expires.

How to add info to a favorite saved on nuvi 650?

nuvi 350 v 6.00 firmware adds InstantFix?

seems like people at gpspassion think it acquires signals faster. dunno.

Ramp Zoom Feature

First longer trip with my C580. Had it set on the 3 mile scale to show the names of cities and noticed that the scale automatically changed to 800' when on a highway ramp. What actually trigged the change? The lower speed or the location of a ramp? Just curious.

Has Anyone now started receiving Free Lifetime TMC Traffic on their Older Nuvi?

I was reading a thread on another forum about someone with a 760 nuvi having free traffic subscription show up with a expiration date of 2020. This was without signing up for anything after they updated to the 5.20 traffic update on a 760.

I checked my 760 but still shows traffic expired after the update. Has anyone else found this 2020 date on their unit after updating to 5.20?

Nuvi 880 Media Player - Album Art

On my 880 the Music Player has a window frame in the upper right corner for Album Art to be displayed. But nothing shows when a song is playing even though there is Album Art in the folders where the songs reside.

When I run the songs through Windows Media player it will automatically go out and bring back Album Art and place the icons in the songs folder.

New User Found Several Wrong Locations POI

I got my nuvi 205w a little over a week ago and so far I've found several locations/POIs that are just plain wrong. Almost on the "wrong side of the planet", it seems.

What can be done to correct these incorrect locations.

Examples include Target, Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot....not even close to where they actually are.

Thanx

SD Card For Nav?

Does the Garmin option between the internal flash memory AND the SD card storage for it's file usage during navigation? Making the internal mamory as lean as possible, imo, should give it a measurable and noticeable performance is the unit does offer this option.

Sun Shade

After using my semi-new Nuvi 350 for a while, I discovered I could really use a sun shield to help keep glare off the screen. I did a forum search, but the results are about a year old. I've been looking at this item below, but I'm not sure. What do you all recommend?

Red Light & Traps Question

I DL'd these files to the 660, and went on a trip through red light stop signals. I got no response from the GPS. Is the file "skinny" as far as all the red light cameras in North Dallas. tia

voices

I just discovered this site where you can download a number of different voices from your written text. the downloads come as wav files, but they can quickly be converted into mp3 files with a simple converter program. ( I used Switch on the Mac ). Anyway, It's a quick and dirty way to add speech to your poi files. (for the new users) Remember to change the name to match that of your poi.

Garmin c580 with MSN DIRECt

Ok I purchased a c580 last week and I connected it with MSN direct I get full service. After I updated my maps from 2008 to 2009 my MSN direct service shows red bar only. Garmin told me it was a wire problem I wasnt convinced. So my dad bought the same exact model a day after me and I tested his. SAME EXACT PROBLEM. It happens after the update from 2008 to 2009. Any solution to this?
