Garmin talk

Saw this posted elsewhere (GeoPassions) but wanted everyone to notice it before you try to rollback your 7xx from 4.00

"UPDATE: DO NOT DOWNGRADE Nuvi 760 from 4.00 using the files in this thread or you WILL lose bluetooth functionality and have to ship the unit back to Garmin for servicing."

These are the files noted abouve:

Nuvi 7xx.zip
075401000220.rgn

an Eclipse AVN 6620.

Is it possible to get a radial/circular proximity alert without putting TourGuide in the file name?

FWIW I was in the KC area today and stopped by Garmin International.
I spoke to the receptionist about the problems I was having and she promptly connected me with a product specialist.
I spoke with Jeffy and he contacted an automotive specialist about the turn issues with 4.00. He informed me that they were aware of the problem and they are working on a fix.

Would they be visible anywhere on the nuvi 660? For example, Wal Mart, red light, etc? For example, when I look under Custom POIs, there isn't anything. Nor is there anything on the map. No errors from POI loader, though. Thx.

Ok, before you all get ready to riot, if I'm missing something obvious here, just tell me to shut up and keep reading previous posts.

I have saved my Home location and found a corresponding listing in Favorites. This listing now includes my phone number and is available via bluetooth. I have a self prepared MP3 file that warmly announces my arrival home and would like to have it associate with the favorite listing.

Is anyone having issues updating the SD card for Garmin Mobile XT? Whenever I update the card, it removes the application from my Palm 700w and then will not reload. Garmin tech support provided me with instructions for updating, but I get the same results.

If you own a Nuvi you may wish to postpone updating the unit.

Garmin is pushing out new updates which prevent you from installing older versions of the software. What does this mean to you? Well, previously if you installed an update and discovered that it contained bugs, you could then reinstall the older software to return your unit back to its "original" condition.

Some of the MP3 files that have been loaded into my GPS do not show up on my PC when I link, even though they are listed in the GPS. I would like to delete these files to save memory. Is there a secret to this? (Most of the MP3 files do show up in both the PC and the GPS)
Thank you

Maybe I'm a little slow and not very observant, but did the 4.0 firmware update add "proximity points" to the settings on the nuvi 200? If I go to the menu > Help (wrench) > settings and scroll down to the bottom there is a Proximity Points tab giving you the ability to turn on and off proximity alerts to the custom POI's. Has this always been there?

Yesterday I installed the Garmin POI Loader. This morning I turned on my Nuvi 350 and all the maps have disappeared. When I go WHERE TO > ADDRESS> SPELL STATE I immediately get the message "No Matches Found". When I go HOME my little house icon shows on a blank map. It appears that my data base is gone.

Does the GTM12 traffic cable work with the Nuvi 780? Thanks

Hi everyone,

I love my streetpilot c580, one of the coolest things I have ever bought...really

I have a few questions though and couldn't find the answers/didn't know where to.

I'm having trouble unzipping zipped files to move into my Garmin POI file on my computer. Also, I can't get GTX files to load either. What am I doing wrong?

I updated my nuvi 760 to 4.00.
I was having some problems, so I wanted to backdate to 2.90, just to see if it was a problem with 4.00.

I ran the nuvi760_290.exe file, and it seemed to download to the device ok, but when I dissconnected from my computer and power up the nuvi it doesn't update the firmware.

I've made several attemps, but 4.00 remains.

Any help?

I have nuvi 680 that does,t have costco thats only give me every time kitchner ontario then in usa .I update with latest csv file but still it show me same thing mean nothing in gta or toronto ,same thing with walmart i pick latest updates on poi front page but after i check its have same thing that,s no walmart in vaughan,please any body tell me where i am doing wrong or what i have to do.

I just purchased a Nuvi 760. This is my first GPS unit. Even though I am computer literate, I am a novice when it comes to these devices. I was able to successfully load a POI using the POI Loader, and adding new vehicke icons. However, I am unable to load a bmp icon. I thought I had followed the instructions posted at "How Do I Load BMP Icons into my Garmin GPSr", but I have had no luck.

Well it happened. In the midst of trip an in a traffic jam, up popped a message saying that the sat lock was gone. And so it continued off and on for a week.
When I got home, I contacted product support and to make a long story short, sent it in for repair. I'm GPS-less until they send it back.

My 660 seems lately to be unreliable on ETA when there are traffic warnings. The ETA will jump 20-30 minutes on a 40 minute trip. Has anyone else seen this?
