Garmin talk

I have a Nuvi 760 just purchased in September. Note, there is no Traffic service available where I live. In none of the screens in Tools, or Settings does there appear any references to Traffic. Nor in the About screen is there any reference to traffic.

I have a thin blue line (looks like a set path) going from my house in SE Michigan to Arizona where I have been playing with simulator POI's etc.

What is it and how do I get rid of it?

Saw this posted at GPS review forum and may explain why I notice, and from other people's observations also, that every once in a while I see a much longer map loading delay. Also see why I should just let it complete and not shut off and restart.

Just made a somewhat long trip via Amtrak from Indianapolis to Albuquerque and back.

Here are the trip log comparisons I came up with my 750.
Definitions:
Trip Log - The one that is available on the 750
when bought.

Hidden Trip Log - The one where you have to
downgrade to software version 2.3 to activate.

Harley-Davidson has finally come out with their branded Zumo. I've had my Zumo 550 for about 18 months and it works great so I have no desire to buy another one. What the HD one has that would be very handy, is that is is pre-loaded with HD dealerships as POIs and that could come in handy on a road trip for service or swag.

Just tried installing this latest version on two systems. Boy, I've never had a software install act like this.

Version 2.5.2 installed in C:\Program Files\Garmin. This version installed in C:\Garmin on one system, and D:\Garmin on the other???? That is a completely differnet partition!

Anyone else notice this? Thanks

I know they have only been out for about one week,and I am looking for some imput on it. I have read that the voice is tinny on the 255 and I was hoping that they fixed that. How bad are the pop up ads? Does the Bluetooth work fine?

Hi There,

A newbie here -
Recently purchased a 260W. I loaded a speed_camera.csv file I found for Phoenix, AZ that had only three listings.

Nuvi set to 2D maping.
Garmin loader V2.5.2
Files were loaded "NOT manual"

Found under > Where To - Extras - Custom POI's -

Just got nuvi 650 from ebay and want to save my favorites b-4 updating maps, etc. In explorer, I see a file "GPX". I can't open it but guess its either favs or poi lists I've down loaded from here. Can anyone clarify?

I drive for a living. When I need gas, I will be looking for a particular station via "custom poi". How can I turn off the alerts that accompany some poi lists?

Thanks,

Hi

Hello:

I been using my Nuvi 680 for about 3 months and I just bought a Nuvi 760 for my wife, I payed for the "life time" service for my MSN receiver and I wonder if any one knows if I get a second receiver for the Nuvi 760 I can share the subscription in between the 2 receivers or I need to pay again for the second one.

Any advice??

Thanks: FRGG

I have a Nuvi 200 and all of the sudden it shows "no detailed maps found that support routing. The nuvi cannot be used without them." I have tried to find something to help me but nothing has worked. HELP!!

How would i load gpx files to my Garmin.
I have no problems with cvx files.

I turned on my C340 today and received a notice from Garmin that my maps have not been updated for such and such a time! Go and buy new ones.....
This is the first time I have seen this notice. Is this normal?

I've been playing with a series of 4 POI files for several months. I manually set the alert point to 2 miles (10,560ft). I'm puzzled about how my Garmin nuvi 250w handles these. I've read about the POI needing to be "on the road", but I would have expected a radius of two miles.

If the location is just 1/4 mile of my road, I don't get an alert. Is this the norm of the POI community?

When I registered the nuvi 200, it gave me an unlock code for the Mexico map. Do I need to do anything or does it unlock itself? (nuvi was connected during the reg process)

Anybody else try it? I was a little surprised, but happy, that my nuvi came preloaded with 2009 maps. When I first connect it updated the software to 5.0. (can not find any docs on what was changed)
I ask because I am have problems getting the custom poi icons to work. (yes, they all have the same name) I'm also using the Aug 2008 poi loader program.

I just saw over on GPSPASSION that 4.2 is available for download via Webupdater

Can I save the most recent routine when I arrive the destination? Garmin C530, 2008 map, 6.6 software.

I don't know why but my Garmin C530 sometimes will not show up the shortest navigation. It has the most current version of software and Avoidance disabled.
